Liam Jones did It is unlikely but not outside the realms of possibility

you don't think him sticking the elbow out to clip moore wasn't one of the dumbest actions by a recidivist you've seen? it was so stupid and i remain furious he's such an [censored] to do the same thing over and over again

i put this in another thread, but it's probably just as appropriate here... i think we'll keep our top 5 / 6 pick, get the pick we wasted on mcadam back for anb (sob!), and use late picks to pick up two nga kids (riak andrew, ricky mentha) and one father-son (noah yze) i think we can kiss our 2025 first round pick goodbye cos we won't want to hold it - not with a highly ranked nga (tairon ah-mu) and father-son (kalani white) coming thru in the 2025 draft in the last game of the year we had the following unavailable for selection: may petracca windsor lever spargo brayshaw hunter oliver smith sparrow ben brown four of those are likely to be off the list, and two more - at least - could go too it's an open bid on trac, which is very sad, but if he doesn't see himself as part of our future, so be it; we'll get value for his departure i'd be open to trading: petracca laurie bowey fritsch sparrow woewodin i think three of those have value, both incoming and outgoing, and two are depth for us and would be the same for other teams too; there's no real incentive for anyone to target laurie, sparrow, or woewodin as they're fairly meat n potatoes, or just potatoes if yr being cruel retired: brayshaw ben brown i'd delist: hunter schache tomlinson (or he leaves as a free agent) smith kyah farris-white that's seven players off the list + rookie list, and at least one - neal-bullen - certain to be traded for, probably, a second round pick (incredible value for him imo), so eight changes already and that's why i think milkshake and plugger mac will roll around again in 2025; if we don't have them we're looking pretty thin for experience at either end of the ground we've got pick 5/6, that 2nd rounder for nibbs, a bunch of middling 2nd / 3rd round picks that we already hold (about three in total) plus later selections possible automatic ins as late picks / rookie listings: riak andrew ricky mentha noah yze i really hope we target some midfielders who can move with a bit of pace and use the ball by foot; harvey langford would seem ideal reading the scouting reports for pick 5, but i'm not sure if he will last that long? houston would be perfect, but that seems doa... i'm disappointed we're not in the conversations for any of the gw$ or gc17 wantaway players like cumming, peatling, lukosious, although apparently we were keen on angwin...that seems to have gone quiet going to be a busy off-season that's for sure

if kozzy wasn't a dumbo that would be a much more talked about dump tackle

there is no way jones should be playing finals that cadman didn't get knocked out is pure luck - you want to punish the action not the repercussion

the more the merrier

i think we'll keep our top 5 / 6 pick, get the pick we wasted on mcadam back for anb (sob!), and use late picks to pick up two nga kids (riak andrew, ricky mentha) and one father-son (noah yze) i think we can kiss our 2025 first round pick goodbye cos we won't want to hold it - not with a highly ranked nga (tairon ah-mu) and father-son (kalani white) coming thru in the 2025 draft in the last game of the year we had the following unavailable for selection: may petracca windsor lever spargo brayshaw hunter oliver smith sparrow ben brown four of those are likely to be off the list, and two more - at least - could go too it's an open bid on trac, which is very sad, but if he doesn't see himself as part of our future, so be it; we'll get value for his departure i'd be open to trading: petracca laurie bowey fritsch sparrow woewodin i think three of those have value, both incoming and outgoing, and two are depth for us and would be the same for other teams too; there's no real incentive for anyone to target laurie, sparrow, or woewodin as they're fairly meat n potatoes, or just potatoes if yr being cruel retired: brayshaw ben brown i'd delist: hunter schache tomlinson (or he leaves as a free agent) smith kyah farris-white that's seven players off the list + rookie list, and at least one - neal-bullen - certain to be traded for, probably, a second round pick (incredible value for him imo), so eight changes already we've got pick 5/6, that 2nd rounder for nibbs, a bunch of middling 2nd / 3rd round picks that we already hold (about three in total) plus later selections possible automatic ins as late picks / rookie listings: riak andrew ricky mentha noah yze i really hope we target some midfielders who can move with a bit of pace and use the ball by foot; harvey langford would seem ideal reading the scouting reports for pick 5, but i'm not sure if he will last that long? houston would be perfect, but that seems doa... i'm disappointed we're not in the conversations for any of the gw$ or gc17 wantaway players like cumming, peatling, lukosious, although apparently we were keen on angwin...that seems to have gone quiet going to be a busy off-season that's for sure

yes i believe so; he's playing as an 'overage' player this year i'm presuming we will look to add him, ricky mentha, and noah yze as late / rookie selections if they warrant selection

they've achieved nothing in their entire existence when they have had gifts bestowed upon them from head office the likes of which they have squandered through their own ineptitude i'll back us to finish above them in 2025

or the fringe players - yr tholstrup's, spargo's, laurie's, pup's of the world - need to develop into those roles

thank goodness gc17 have pulled their finger out in the last 5 minutes they really are a pathetic franchise

take it and run thought it was going to be more

on these... leppitsh - not leaving, moving into a senior football administration role, will be groomed as a future football ceo bruce, gia, stevie j - worth a conversation simpson - will he want to move his family back straight away? how old are the kids etc.? grimes, hawkins, cotchin - have any expressed any interest in coaching? bolton - is he leaving the filth? the one i'm keen to speak to from a back office perspective is simon mathews, who was 2nd choice as tigs' new ceo replacing gale, is incredibly highly regarded, and would seem to be a logical fit within a club such as ours

no fear i want a higher pick now

great graphic

listening to caro on 3aw, she thinks the communication issue is as much on trac as it is with the club; he needs to communicate what the issues that he's had actually are, which haven't appeared to be outlined no one player is bigger than the club and if he doesn't want to be part of the future then so be it i would like to know what issues he actually has with the club

i hope we do pluck some gems mids. mids, and more mids! langford looks a likely sort to me - tall left footer who hits packs hard - but ovbs i ain't an expert

he is HUGE hawkins-alike in that he looks so much bigger than his oppo and teammates

we're going to have pick 5-7 before nga and academy i'm loathe to trade it if we can split it into two and trade one first rounder for him, fine i think our 2025 1st rounder is 100% on the table with tairon ah-mu and kalani white set to come in

it would seem to be a fait accompli that he's going to the crom for the 2nd round pick that we gave up for mcadam absolute bargain for them

it really does sound increasingly like he's completely disenfranchised with the club if that's the case, there's no point in retaining him

max king is uncompetitive if he doesn't mark the ball

how we seem to have accepted that anb is leaving to go 'home' without the deal being done is absolutely infuriating he has requested a trade; it has not happened yet he's got two years to go on a very healthy contract is he going to retire if crom / pear can't satisfy us in a trade? how we've handled his trade request has been acquiescent

would be nice if things went our way for the first time this season... we need both gc17 and the aints to win by more than 2 goals so that they go above us on the ladder on percentage that would leave us with pick 5 at the start of the draft; if things don't go our way we will have pick 7 but that could potentially be pushed our three spots to pick 10 after the two bids for ashcroft and lombard plus the compo pick for battle either way, would love a player who can run thru the midfield with speed and skill anyone who can hit a target by foot would be nice

ignore the game, it was irrelevant what would you accept as a suitable trade for petracca? or oliver? or fritch? or bowey? what are our glaring weaknesses and do we have the players to currently fix them on our list or do we need to recruit to bring in to fill holes / plug gaps / create competition for roles? which of our youngsters do you expect to get better in 2025? which of our fringe players do you expect to cement a role in the afl side in 2025?
