Agree Monoccular. Not Sure we know for a fact he wants out. It would be fair to say he wants the best deal he can get & he likes the idea of being able to live in SA where he grew up. Seems reasonable.

We're in a strong position. The club played this really well last year. Particularly with them knowing full well 2024 will be Brown and TMacs last year. At the end of 2024, with a year to run, we should seek to re-sign Harry long term or trade him to the Crows for the best deal possible. Dragging it into his final contract year before FA wouldn't be ideal. We should be be in a strong position financially so can either make a good long term offer to Harry or go shopping with a swag od picks and money in the bank.

"We want to be like Collingwood"
Irrespective of her point it's a very strange comparison from Roffey. I can't imagine Tiger Woods wishing to be more like John Daly ... (ok maybe a bad example). Would Rory McIlroy wish to be like John Daly? Would the Yankees ever publicly wish to be like the Mets? The Celtics like the Lakers? Man U like Man City? Ricky Steamboat like Ric Flair?

TRAINING: Monday 11th March 2024
Good point DJ. Hopefully he was just behind some good talls at the Lions and like other talls needed a little while to mature 🤞

TRAINING: Monday 11th March 2024
We had 4 A grade mids until Angus' retirement so our depth looked pretty good. His loss exposes Sparrow & Laurie, and Hunters injury exposes Windsor. Salem was a good solution until Bowey's selflessness but us on the backside. Windsor will make it, but IMV not ideal he's having to own a wing after 3 months of training. I'd wonder if Woey is not a better option? Knows the system, KMs in the legs and a man's body. Caleb's speed and kicking is tantalising but is he ready?

Agree Salem will return to the backline. Unfortunate, but sensible. Knows the role and solves a problem. Pickett will take some midfield minutes & Laurie will have to step up. Pickett for Bowey Fullarton for Schache Billings for Spargo Maybe a tall as sub? Cupboard feeling a bit bare though

Don't think we'll see Billings in the backline. Thankfully

Its a part of doing business. When you lose one you get unders, when one chooses to come your way you do better. If you work free agency to your advantage (in and out) you'll end up in front.

Ahhh. I thought you meant around the pill 👍

JVR did get into the game more when shifted up the ground. Seemed to spend a lot of time in the goal square not getting the footy until it was too late.

Bigger than Jack, Clayton, Sparrow and Trac?

POSTGAME: Opening Round vs Sydney
We knew already, but Grundy's performance last night is a severe dagger in the heart for us. SG and football department should be hurting over their failure to make something out of the Max and Brody partnership. It seems they only had one plan for that partnership. It was one or both of Max and Brody spend ~50% of their game time I50 and they kick goals. As soon as they became convinced that wasn't working they threw it away completely and discarded a quality player to a competing contender. Surely there were other options and a combination of which could be applied? Don't play them both every week. Surely there would be benefit in giving them a rest from time to time. 3 - 4 games off each throughout the season would have some merit (horses for f'n courses) If the forward option isn't working have one of them drop behind the ball for 20% of their game time. This could even allow a defender to swing forward as a shock option! Reduce each of their own overall game time. Max had 82% TOG last night, Brodie 78%. Why not target each of them around 70%? Sub one of them off from time to time for a running player

POSTGAME: Opening Round vs Sydney
The debate regarding conditions last night is interesting, particularly when those in the stands are suggesting it was dry but I am sure I heard the commentators and Jude B clearly state more than once it was humid, sticky and dewy. ...& the players looked completely drenched, particularly the dees darker colours. Brings a question to my mind. Did we do any night time training in Jan or Feb? Suspect not (do they even have suitable lighting at Casey or Gosch's to make it possible?).

Also for those marking JVR harshly it's worth considering that Amartey and Logan McD also had very little influence. McD kicked his first goal in the last qtr. McLean was the only tall to clunk a couple of marks I50, also later in the game and one was thanks to a mix up between May and Max
