Little Richard

Bit of an inconsistent year and looks to be a confidence player. I thought he played a few good games though and can find the ball. Decent depth player at least, but maybe it will click for him in 2025.

Developing nicely so far, hopefully he continues to come on!

How quickly people have forgotten Spargo's value when fit. He was arguably our most important and effective link up player going inside 50 when we were at our peak.

Wow, I thought he was like 24. No idea what they were thinking with that trade. Start from zero next year and please Shane, give us something.

Jackson was an anomaly. How many other rucks over the past 10-20 years were virtually ready to go like he was? It's no secret the majority take much longer to develop.

Enjoyed his work at the Dees and he'd certainly have played more games if it wasn't for Maxy's dominance. Where did you find his weight? I thought they didn't publish that info anymore.

The importance this year lies in maximising our draft position so that Lamb's impact is limited and Taylor has the best opportunity of unearthing more great youngsters. I don't think this thread is going to cause any disruption within the club mate.

This system is an absolute farce, what a joke.

I don't see why there would be any confidence in McAdam from what we've seen so far. Jeffo probably to play a handful of games next year so Membrey would likely hold that spot for most of the year IMO. I agree that Petty really improved late in the year but I'd rather see him down back or playing high forward where his marking can help us link up.

I think Emperor has a nicer ring to it

Was inevitable after that interview IMO. Thanks for your service Kate.

Surprised how excited I am for tonight's game! Arguably the two most in-form teams going at it. Going to be an absolute ripper, really hope the Doggies can do it.

Sounds like he's a good size but is entirely untried at AFL level. Second round pick it is!

Getting worse and worse...

Does feel like an appearance for appearances sake (as expected), not getting anything new here.

Whately asking good questions, straight to the point. Roffey trying to play a straight bat and has said 'I've not talked to him about that so can't comment' a few times now.

Apart from Howe I can't really think of any I don't have a soft spot for.

So happy for him, he deserves it. Makes me a little sad to remember just how freaking good he was as a 19-year-old in the red and blue. But really glad he's fulfilling all of that potential.

He was a quality player at one point, these days not so much. Reminds me too much of Tim Lamb's work with Billings and Hunter.

Dodson or Whitlock if we end up with 25 for Nibbler and they're still available (assuming we're using two picks before that for midfielders)?

Not a student of history I see

Back to the doldrums we march

He showed some excellent form in the red and blue, especially before he did his knee in 2021. Could easily have been Tommo winning a premiership alongside Lever and May. Deserves more game time, thanks for everything Tommo!

Would take Burgess back in a heartbeat.

GWS would be my preferred but I think it's going to be the Doggies. They've hit form at the perfect time again - though the Hawks is going to be a tough game for them.
