yep agree. i just hope we pick wisely with pick 4 and 23 or whatever it is!!

i just think he doesnt have that natural footballer c...t in him, hes not that guy, hes a surfer lad that loves to play a bit of sport, and is athletically gifted. Hes got the attributes to be a star of the game, but i dont think he wants to be that guy, or could push himself to get to that level.

I hope on a personal level for him it does, not when he plays us tho. I think he will be a very good player however, just not 2 first rounders worth ( I hope) Pick 4 this year is going to taste so good

he was brilliant, that was the best game hes played. I still dont think he will become elite

Why would you drop Smith? Makes no sense he's been fantastic

I've said it to plenty of people and got shot down in flames, Jackson is only going to be a mid tier player and never anything else. He's a basketballer. He has some talent but not necessarily footy talent. Athletically gifted as well but it doesn't fully translate on game day. I think his form will plateau. Hope for his sake it doesn't but I reckon we will win in a landslide with the trade

I reckon

No I def agree if we give gawn a rest. I think from a conditioning perspective though as it's a grinding role we would want him to keep playing. It's a hard one!

Ah that makes sense if we give gawn a rest

Grundy isn't coming in to the side. He did nothing to justify his spot.

What did Grundy do at vfl level to demand a spot? Literally nothing

It was very windy at Casey today which didn't help Grundys chances. He didn't do much at all though

your right in a sense that we had our [censored] together in 2021, whereas we are a bit all over the place due to injuries this year. I think however the formula is there bar our tall forwards, mind you our tall forwards werent much chop in 2021 either, we relied on the Fritsch and spargo/kozzies to get us by, with cameos from McDonald and BBB in spurts. You can see throughout various games this year that Goodwin has let the shackles off our defensive gameplay and then locked down games as well, this will give us versatility in finals with different styles of play, not just for a qtr, but for a whole game. Agreed it will be harder than 2021 purely from a personel on the field point of view, if we can settle on a best 22 barring injuries in the next 3 weeks then we will be ok. Not saying we will win but azs mentioned before, the formula is there, we just need fit players to execute it.

oh lol

why?

he looks good!

100% and has matured imo

it would suit him perfetly imo that backline.

maattttee id love Hogan back :)

i didnt think it was on a huge amount of $$ was it? If hes a local boy then that dream is over. Id look at Ben King from GC Logan McDonald ( This would be hard) Aaron Naughton

We need to pull out all stops for Oscar Allen imo. I’m sure he’s gettable

I’ve apologised and taken my poison. It was over reactive. anyway it’s a big Achilles heel for us that position, a wild guess would be schache or Grundy in this week. We need someone like you said that can create space for other fwds but also have the ability or body to compete in the air and win 1 on 1s. I’ve heard good things about Jefferson but he’s 12 months away minimum

To be fair I’d rather petty stay back when he’s fully fit. He’s fantastic there. Id just like to see Tomlinson down forward even if it’s 2 week stint to see how he operates. More just if he has a fwd mindset or goes into defender mode

🤞🤞he’s back in the next 2-3 weeks. Hope he’s not pushing himself too hard

He deserves a shot. Hopefully he gets his opportunity
