Adam The God

There's always one. Well done, Cranks. 12 months is a long time in footy. So is 36 months, and over the last 36 months, we've finished top 4 three times. There are always those that need something to complain about.

I'd rather us go Rozee or Butters, but I understand we're interested. Depends what we give up.

I want North winning and us getting pick 5. Won't happen though.

Clearly being pushed by him. On the plus side, it frees up some cap space to go after someone like Naughton who we were allegedly after last year. We'll have the picks to satisfy as well...

Oh well, Melksham has someone to play on now. 😄

At the moment? COLA... 😉

Yep, incredible. From a two game ban to nothing. The tribunal system is broken, as is McAdam's cheekbone. The AFL is a court jester.

Any chance we could get Rozee now? Certainly taken his game to a new level this year. Then there was that peanut Cornes saying if Hinkley hadn't signed his last contract, Butters was on his way to us. Would love either/both of them. As for Georgiades, I'm not the biggest fan, but acknowledge our club seems to have rated him since his draft year.

Maybe the Suns game, but the Adelaide game was a complete slog, where we banged on late goals to get it out to 7. Fritta went berserk. And haha love the multi tasking.

Agreed, I don't particularly rate Saad, let's go with Nick Daicos instead. Imagine not tracking him from every kick out and allowing him to handball receive. He'd cut you apart and does. Again, Rivers plays a different role, but strange. Having said all that, I do think the Oliver tag makes sense.

But surely you'd make sure someone tracks Rivers. It'd be like allowing Saad to run free, except Rivers is far more damaging because he intercept marks.

Sure, but he didn't even seem to have a 1v1 let alone a tag in the first 3 quarters. Odd.

Maybe that first Bulldogs game in 2021.

So it took them three quarters to make the move? Pretty poor coaching if that's the case.

And yet he let Rivers run around by himself...? Strange comments from Mitchell given what he allowed Riv to do.

Andy, I just heard you say that we haven't put four quarters together in 2023, where in 2021 we did. I'd love to know which game we played four quarters in. We didn't even manage 3 great quarters in the GF. Maybe the prelim against Geelong and the Brisbane QF. Prior to finals though, I don't recall us putting together 4 quarters.

We lost not only CP but UP. Incredible...

Would certainly fit our midfield, but is 29 now... Suppose it depends on the cost.

Perfect. Thanks mate. That's a huge win in the turnover game.

Very good call mate. I still think we'll use next week to experiment with the squad.

Exactly, @Nascent. I hope we can land a key forward in the right age bracket 22-25 age range.

It's about synergy and giving the forwards at least one game to understand whether they'll work together and how. There's every chance we play JVR, Melksham and Fritta in the same forwardline, with either Smith or TMac. Either alternative, they've never played together as a group before. Sydney in a tough game away from home, where they've got their backs up, is a very good dress rehearsal for the finals series.

Okay, thanks mate. Not sure why you're replying to what I said. The way they moved the ball is not Jai Newcombe or even Lewis dependent.

What are our list needs / holes right now?

I reckon the draft pool could be moot for us and we'll try and trade for experienced needs in the right age bracket.
