Kings got some work to do on the defensive side of our game it seems… Hopefully the loss tonight doesn’t ruin our percentage. Let’s fight for something positive here.

We look alright when we get the ball moving, but contest is a concern. Very much in this game right now though. Some good moments from our kids already.

For those without Foxtel

He never nominated us. He never requested a trade. He met with four Victorian clubs in a hastily pushed trade exploration back to Victoria. We were the only ones with currency to potentially get a deal done quickly. It didn’t work out and now we’ve likely missed our chance as other clubs with more to offer now have time to put into courting him.

Mostly irrelevant if he nominates them. That said, probably first this year, first next year, and a player like Cam McKenzie.

Had a hot start with a few gimme goals last night. Was largely unsighted as the game went on. He’s still a work in progress with consistency and proving he could become a midfielder. Paying for potential. Regardless, he’ll be at the Hawks next year from what I’ve heard.

Can we poach the Suns skills coach? Clearly doing a good job with the players up there!

Raffle between the Suns, Lions, and Swans for the flag this year. All three have incredible lists.

3 votes, C Petracca. Superstar. What a joy he is to watch. Sucks it’s not in red and blue anymore. Still for the best to move him on, but jeez it sucks.

Some weird views and hatred on here. He rightfully called out our poor culture and poor standards. I hold no grudge towards him. He’s still a gun. People here want to downplay him to make themselves feel better. Fact is he was our best player until he went down injured halfway through 2024. He was still amongst the top few players in the league at that point, and had been for years. Anyone claiming otherwise is outright lying. Last year was not his best as he returned from a very serious injury. It’s his only season this decade that hasn’t been elite. Even still, he was second in our BnF. It’s not surprising to see him fitter, healthier, and dominating like the star he is. Even knowing all that, he’s 30 years old, so what we got for him was good compensation. Multiple first rounders helps us get more high end talent in to drive our rebuild.

He’s probably right. Likely to be 1-5 or 2-4. Anything more than that and we’re flying and will be giving finals a shake.

Excellent news. Future superstar. Great to lock him away out of Tassies reach. Looking forward to watching him continue to grow this year!

Leon Cameron was the GWS coach tearing strips off the players. That clip was enough to know he was a terrible coach and would waste an extremely talented list with no success. Coniglio was already having form and confidence issues at the time, so Cameron ripping him apart publicly was basically the end of his senior coaching career. It showed man with no empathy, no emotional control, no awareness and no vision. Pathetic. On Kingy, he seems very positive so far. Be interesting to see how he handles the group when the pressure comes and the whips are cracking. Seems a good choice on limited exposure thus far though. Pretty happy with how he seems to have got the group enjoying footy and playing with freedom again!

Probably the best tall defender I’ve ever seen in red and blue. For a few years there he was the best full back in the whole league. That 2022 final against the Swans playing on Buddy was the best defensive game I’ve ever seen by any player ever. It was super human watching it live. Congrats on a brilliant career Maysie. We’ll miss you!

My understanding is technology and software is included in the soft cap. That said, AI is extremely cheap in those terms. The highest tier ChatGPT license is $300 a month. That's a couple of grand a year to have unlimited AI use where you could train bots with opposition analysis from videos, descriptions etc. At those sorts of costs, any club not using AI is being negligent.
