The Brayshaw puzzle piece is obviously sorely missed by Goody. Linked to two similar profiles. He'd be great of course, it's just cost.

Can play, is an upgrade on a couple. sure.

genius will be seen next week against Fremantle! tougher ruck challenge. But huge credit- the defensive setup was outstanding, and the younger players are filling roles exceptionally. The ruck setup hit the nail on the head for the conditions.

Reckon it's got to be two-pronged to cover the ruck, around the grounds and his % game time. Fullerton and Jefferson. Schache a chance for games experience over debutant.

If there ever was a time for a test for Fullerton as a ruck chop out/big this would be it.

A feel a couple of months ago the comment's here were swinging towards Jeffo unlikely to make it in AFL, now we're begging to get him in. Love it. Never seen him play, would love to see him have a run though. I feel the posts about Melksham are keeping the door open for him to come straight in, which seems a bit odd. have I missed any confirmation either way on this? Otherwise just based off the game, I felt Tomlinson stayed in as a mature head with the smaller defenders being a younger bunch. Wouldn't be shocked to see him out for Salem. Besides that, not much. Don't know if Bowie is straight back in.

I was genuinely concerned at the North game, purely for the inconsistency through the game. I watched it back, and just felt like it so up and down for both teams (though of course I was more aware of the Dees ones). I didn't recognize the umpire list, but that doesn't mean too much. But I do wonder if there is enough depth in the umpire ranks.

Something like that

you know what, screw it. All aboard the Kenter-train. I'm sick of tearing hair out trying to work out what on earth we're doing on-field. Pick him this week, he'll kick 6. It'll be fun. Nothing more familiar to a dees fan than getting a whopping and pouring all hope back into draft times. lean into familiarity.

I see this as a more fitting version of KF backup profile. Allow Turner to play def (we need backup the next couple of years), more promise than Schache and BBB, with more of a ruck string in the bow, and more ready to go than Jefferson. we’ll move BBB and Schache on at the end of the year, and instead of drafting a long limbed project they get someone with development already. Makes sense. The question is can he make a difference this year, and I wouldn’t rule it out. I don’t know what it says about fullarton though.

maybe left-field, but I would have him in our wing rotation. I feel we lack competition in the air between the arcs without Petty in form supporting Gawn. (Also feel that Windsor is an absolute jet but doesn't have the full nous of winging yet and we get caught out occasionally. that's not a sleight, the leagues best wingers are veterans for a reason.) Tomlinson was recruited for that role, he might not have the same tank now he's trained as a defender but I reckon he'd add a whole different dimension to the wing role that we don't have currently.

I can't be totally sure, but I think the two stark examples of ridiculous flying was with Petty injured, Gawn off and JVR rucking. I don't remember it being an all-game thing, more a late tactic. wouldn't stake my life on it, or even my left boot, but pretty sure.

I'm on McAdam watch, and I'm super curious on the job description he was brought across from. Got quite a few Frisch-qualities, but there's obviously a reason we've grabbed him. He's definitely short of confidence and maybe some fitness, but we've brought him in for a purpose so we'll definitely persist with him.

So Windsor is fun and all on the wing, and obviously the future. But I have wondered if we’ve lacked that experienced professional ability to end up in the right place at the right time to defend f50 rebounds and enter well. Potentially something the more wily hunter or billing’s could add. I still think windsors assets are best 23 but with a higher % rotation to an experienced player.

Had him say the same thing to me. The mid-foot injuries affect you with accelerating out of changes of direction. I've wondered how Petty is going with it.
