I'd be surprised if he isn't sub.

And allows us to manage Trac or Clarry at some stage in the back end. 👍

An underperforming defender or two. It's going to be a tough cultural balance if we do...

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
He'll be worth more, but I'd be less inclined to trade him as one of our three consistent goalkickers, alongside a 438 year old Melksham and Kozzy.

Very true, but that because tougher now too that he seems to have turned a corner...

Have a chat to the boss. I don't use the app, just access via Google Chrome on my phone.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
It's been mentioned multiple times on Demonland that starting with this off season, clubs will be able to trade two future firsts. So 2026 and 2027 could be traded.

Snapping all over the place. 😂

I know. I'm a fan too. I guess I'm hypothetically thinking about list balance and what could land LJ, that solves not just the ruck/forward problem, but the Max succession.

Interesting. I wonder if they'll rest Lindsay and play Sharp instead.

Stats File - 2025 edition
@binman , thoughts on this given your comments on the podders last night about our failure to convert our stoppage dominance to scores. I think we did a good job, because despite not probably scoring enough from centre stoppage, we gained territory, which meant it wasn't inside their 50. And we only won around the ground stoppages by 1. We also had the same amount of scoring shots from turnover as Collingwood. They were just more accurate. Turnover 4.6 30 7.3 45 -15 I think scores per inside 50 show that we actually moved the ball well and our field kicking was good, it was that our goalkicking mostly let us down. As I mentioned in the chat room, Collingwood's DE was padded by a lot of uncontested possession at the back. Something we rarely reverted to ourselves this week. They only beat us by 3 intercepts, which given the Daicos', Sidebottom, Houston and Pendlebury had 76 kicks between them, tells me their team field kicking was not that much better than ours. IMO, it was lost by our goalkicking, not our field kicking.

Me too 🤣

I think we'd have to look at it, but I'd rather keep JVR and give him rhe second forward role with no Rick responsibility, play him next to LJ and Petty/Turner.

Is that Jesse Hogan trying to get LJ over the line? That'd be nice. Fritta Petty Chandler Kozzy Hogan LJ @george_on_the_outer gets his three tall forwards and we have some genuine goal scorers inside 50. We can dream.

KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!
I think you really went out on a limb. Well done. We'll expect some more inside gossip as it comes to light.

KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!
My view on this stuff is fans just have to get used to these big, long term contracts. From a list management perspective, nothing can ever be fully locked in unless player movement changes (which it won't). So this gives the club some assurance over the short to mid term. And if we never want to trade him, we could well hold him to contract ala Clarry and Trac. It does have some other flow on effects for us. 1) it stops the external noise that could become a distraction for the club. 2) it shows potential trade targets that we can keep our best players and that they want to stay here for the long haul. 3) it allows us to know exactly what we can do this year and next with our TPP heading into likely compromised drafts. It's clear to me that we still have the list to challenge for the flag (not this year necessarily, but next), but we do need to get creative and nail some trades and recruits to plug those holes on our list. Namely a tall forward, an x factor small forward and a different type of mid with zip and ball use to complement the new brigade. Signing Kozzy allows us to be more aggressive in the player market ASAP.

Trade Targets
I think his salary will be too high if they're only covering 20%. We'd need them to cover upward of 50%+, I reckon.

His wage is the sticking point. Depends how much the Dogs would be willing to pay.

I think so too. We've been crying out for a gun KPF. Well, here's our shot.

I think it's a false hope unfortunately. He'd be brilliant.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
I agree with you Steve in terms of midfield balance and Viney and Clarry in the same midfield. It's why I'd play Viney forward or as a tagger. And what happens if Jack retires early with concussion symptoms?
