Does anyone know Rowell's odds beforehand? -
On paper JUH sorting out his off field problems and getting back to 40 plus goal seasons (43 goals last year) is a better long-term option but his chances of getting back to that are probably less than 10 per cent.

The chicken man Colonel Sanders?

Accurate kicking makes such a big difference

You called it

They should have kept the grand final bye after the 2021 grand final, it worked fine then (for different reasons, COVID related)
-
Is there any chance of us ever picking up a decent free agent? (So we don't have to give up draft capital). We got nothing after 2021 (except for Dunstan!) yet after Brisbane's recent flag they're about to get Allen and Draper (after they previously got Daniher for nada). After 11 years of free agency it seems the best we've ever bought in is Tomlinson, who was only a decent role player.

Can come to Melbourne if he gets a better haircut :)

Me too. I was surrounded by many arrogant Hawks supporters in the 80s growing up. I can't believe they're back in the hunt so quickly. I know it's been 10 years since their last flag but they haven't been down the bottom for long enough. I wish they were in an Essendon situation and not winning finals for 21 years...
-
Seems a fair chance that it will be a Cats-Pies grand final or a Hawks-Pies grand final. Gross.
-
If we sign up Buckley and have some good PR over Summer how much of a bounce will we get? Maybe back to 2023s figure (65000)
-
Sure, coaches don't make the overall call on list decisions like they would have done back in the day but surely they have some say?
-
Pick 49 would have been fine on its own but for some reason even though he was uncontracted and had only played 16 games we also swapped this year's third round pick with Brisbane's third round. I know that'll blow out this year but every little bit makes a difference in the draft (e.g hypothetically could be the difference between getting Sam Davidson in last year's draft at pick 51, compared with Aiden Johnson at pick 68)
-
Exactly. We already wasted a good pick in the Sharp trade (last year and this year)
-
He hung on too long (just)
-
Why did they get him from the Saints again?!
-
Surely he's our first ever Jed?
-
Nice, always exciting with another debut. (And more exciting than it would have been with the break glass emergency Campbell, no offense) Whose spot will Adams take though?
-
How the hell are we $1.11 favourites?
-
-
What's Bassett's role at the club/which players does he look after?
-
Wow, only 6 marks all season for JVR!?
-
Why isn't JVR making any progress? Seems to have trouble with clunking marks.
-
Surely the expectations would have been finals? I know we had a shocker last year but we still won 11 matches and were getting Trac back, plus a fit Oliver and 2 high draft picks.
