Famous last words. No deal for me.

Yep, unfortunately.

Wow, I've been wrong before about Calrton, but Cripps, Walsh, Jagga Smith and Cody Walker could be avery good midfield in 2-3 years time. Hopefully Cripps is just a little too old by then. But they might be able to reset and build quickly around these new mids and become less predictable minus Curnow (and McKay?).

But you're making the assumption that this is our only move. Again, I'm not for or against Daniher, just trying to understand the decision making given we don't have all the facts.

Potentially. I guess they're thinking that our results against the top 3-4 are very competitive and it's our pathetic and inconsistent results against the weaker sides in the competition that is the gap between being a top 4-6 side and being a bottom 4-6 side. On evidence, this is rational. But is it the younger players creating the inconsistency in performance or is it the inability of the older players to execute consistently that is driving inconsistent results? If it's the latter, trading in older guys like Daniher, who I'd also consider a bit flakey, will only exacerbate the problem. But if it's the former, then there is a world where increasing the experience in the forwardline increases our chance of performing more consistently. It's difficult to gauge at this point. I'd suggest it could even be a combination of both, in which case it's hard to know when things could click (if at all).

Trac is brilliant around the arcs. His ball use from stoppage is heinous. His little kick to JVR, which didn't look touched to me, was a perfect example of his cleverness and ability to execute inside 50.

Cranky, this is a thread to celebrate Clarry's 200th. There are plenty of threads to critique his performance and the club's. Show a little bit of respect.

My favourite Demon of all time. Well done, Clarry. 200 games thoroughly deserved. 💙❤️

According to this SEN article, the Brisbane Lions were the fastest Ball movement side last year. I've no idea what Jnrmac is on about.

You're kidding right? Roffey went because of one interview? The less said about Pert's off field reign, the better.

I think there's a difference between the culture of the football team and the culture of the wider club. Our admin has been highly suspect, hence Roffey and Pert going.

💯

I reckon in that second quarter we saw glimpses of our future midfield. We had Clarry's hands back to his best again, releasing to Langford, Lindsay and Kozzy on the outside. We pushed Bison and XL up for a number of stoppages in the first half of the 2nd, and we really dominated. I loved it.

24 touches, 6th most on the ground, at 75% DE, 3 goal assists, 9 score involvements, and always in the right place to receive on the outside of the contest. Kid is a jet.

A JT gem, as is XL.
