If you don't win contested possessions, post clearance pressure is essential to cause enough turnovers/intercepts to go back the other way. Clarkson and Chris Scott played this game for years. And this was part of our plan obviously in 2021-2023.

Tyson, yes. He went to Chelt Sec with Bowser,but a few years ahead.

Smith, Schache and BB will be done after this year. TMac may hang up the boots too, but given his year, I'd love him to play on. This'll leave 3 or 4 spots. I think we'd prefer 3 list spots.

Which end of the ground does Petty want to play at? Forward or back? Because if we see him as a forward and the Crows see him as a back, that may have a say in things. I think he'll move back next year whoever he plays for and JVR, Turner and Jefferson will be our KPFs.

You little ripper! Now for Sydney to beat Brisbane.

This is like Groundhog Day...

Only problem is one of the guys in it is playing against us.

Adding Kalani White to that back half in 2026 or 2027 post May will be handy too.

Perhaps they'd take Howes' role in the back half, but I'd like to see him play wing and then we can push Windsor into the midfield. Probably not next year but in 2-3 years. And Bowey's current role. I really think we should look at Bowey as a mid.

This is the go. I hope we're sniffing around Butters. If Hinkley goes, he may well ask to be traded. Allegedly, he waited for Hinkley to re-sign before he recommitted most recently, so it might be time. If Port miss again, surely Hinkley gets the boot...

That's what I thought, just like Watts.

That's fair.

A bloke called Jesse Hogan...

No, I'm saying the opposite. We need to stop whinging about every little thing that doesn't go our way, stop playing the victims and get on with it. Fortunately, Goody doesn't play victim, he gets on with it, and tries to plan as best as possible. I think we're a good travelling side, and extra money is extra money. That said, the way our club tries to fundraise is pretty poor.

The last two times we've played them at the G, they've beaten us.

He's also been clearly playing a different role in many games he's played this year. He often sacrifices his game so that someone can get off the leash. For a guy that had pretty much no pre season and has been hampered by his busted finger, he's been pretty damn solid, just not to elite heights. But good luck without a full pre season. Elite Clarry will be back.

Given the Hunter experience, I think we'll steer clear of any other troubled former Bulldogs. 😉

Dazzle has some enemies. 🤣

Righto, maybe that can be my new display name when I'm allowed to change it again...

No, Petty is a premiership winning key defender and is 24. Houston is a 27 hear old half back flanker. AA maybe, but half backs are a dime a dozen. JT picks them for fun. Key position players are always worth more than half backs.

Interesting that we're interested in another half back. If Petty was set on returning to SA and we got Houston and their first rounder, we could make the best of a bad situation. Would rather keep Petty though.

Yesterday's Demonland podders ❤️

And Geelong...

So Levi Ashcroft is on the bench of the AA team and yet is expected to go #1?

Curnow is fair too. If Cripps or Curnow go down, they're not winning the flag IMO.
