Thanks @red and blue forever. Typo on Trac's name btw.

It's not good enough. It's a short video. Give it a watch after you've uploaded. It's going out on your socials and impacts on the overall football club's brand.

Give the YouTube link a watch...

I never like to let this thread go too cold. Okay, figured I'd go the early crow and do a best 22+1 pre draft and trade period, which is a bit dangerous. The task here for no particular reason is to build a side that I think could contend, by only utilising those on the list currently, so no new players. (obviously, we will bring in talent and this side will change and get even stronger) With a fresh pre season, I think this team could go places, and score more, but probably concede a little more too. Here goes... AMW May Lever McVee TMac Salem Langdon Oliver Windsor Fritta Turner Melksham Koz JVR Trac Max Viney Rivers Bowey Spargo Kolt Petty Sub. between Billings, Sparrow and Howes. Playing Fritta and Melksham as high half forwards would certainly lessen our defensive set up, but I think have an astronomical effect on the efficiency of our inside 50 entries. I'd be playing Spargo as the more defensive high half forward in that group, but his ball use by foot is also elite. Trac would rotate between high half forward and deep forward too. Midfield rotations are: Oliver (as the anchor with most CBAs), Viney (also spending time as a pressure forward), Rivers (also playing half back attacking role), McVee (also playing half back attacking role with Rivers - occasionally will be out of rotation to play lockdown defensive role), Trac (40% mid, 60% forward, rotating forward high and deep), Koz (25-30% mid burst play, keep building on his 2024 output in midfield), Kolt (mostly forward, but some around the ground stoppages to use his explosiveness and bash and crash physicality) and if necessary, Salem (mostly half back anchor though). If Sparrow plays as sub, he plays his usual defensive role, which frees someone else up. Petty plays forward for 2025, but is to be utilised as a swingman if injuries occur down the other end. JVR plays second ruck again, not ideal, but it is what it is. I'd be playing +1 or even +2 at contest next year, be really aggressive at stoppages, back our defenders to win 1v1s behind the ball, and get it to the likes of Trac, Melky, Fritta, Koz, Spargo across half forward, and Salem, McVee and Windsor across half back.

Maybe I've gone the early crow then...?

This video is a downright disgrace. Get the sound right FFS, media department. I'm a film producer and I tell you, if this was delivered to me, I'd be on the phone and demanding someone do better. Come on, this is an important media package and you've [censored] stuffed it. Not [censored] good enough, Gary Pert. This is what happens when you cut budgets.

I would have been able to tell you, but since becoming a God, I've lost all user access for binners. Sorry about that.

He knew my sister, who said he was always the nicest guy. Just a real tragedy.

Really knocked about by this. Horrible news. RIP Sam.

You don't know the structure of the deal. How do you know it's not heavily front loaded on an already veteran salary?

What are you talking about? Jack is 30. Tom Hawkins is 36... Dangerfield 34, Duncan 33 and Selwood played until he was 35. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that Jack will get another deal after this one...

We're following the Geelong model. Great to have Jack re-signed until 2028.

Another great presser from Goody. Now that wad a sermon on the mount.

No way Hunter gets another year. Not quite sure if people have been paying attention...

I just watched it on Kayo. It was good, but jeepers, a few of you made it sound like the sermon on the mount. If you want a sermon, come to me.

SWYL posed the question of Goody's offensive capabilities. In 2018 we were the most attacking side in the comp.

Because, BAM BAM, Goodwin!

What's this BS? Have you forgotten that we were the highest scoring team in 2018? Over 150 points more than the minor premiers and over 200 points more than the next highest club. It's just patronising and disrespectful.

He was in the Ben Brown speech video. So he hasn't gone yet.

I wouldn't completely rule this out yet. Bit of water to flow under the bridge before trade period.

Straight into coaching our forwards next year. ;) Thanks BBB. What a ride 2021 was.

You feel for more McRae do you? I feel for Jetts, but McRae is one of, if not the most, arrogant coaches going around.

Dazzle stepping up to become Binners' PA would be delicious. Make it happen please.

100% @layzie.

Completely agree. I have Pert and Richo in the gun for all of this. Both likely need to fall on their swords. One probably will, the other will likely be carrying out the review and protected...
