Jaded No More

All of the above. Also Cyril was sort of the first of his type, which helped that overall hype. There is no doubt that Kosi will retire a better player statistically, and hopefully just as decorated in terms of premiership medals.

Pound for pound the most skilful player on our list. Some of the stuff he does is beyond ridiculous. His consistency is remarkable, not just for a player of his age, but considering how hard that small forward role can be, especially in our sometimes dysfunctional forwardline. He will be one of our all time greats, both as a forward and as a midfielder. There is not another small forward in the game I would trade him for, not even close. Love the pure joy and aggression he plays with. Long may it continue.

Honestly would be shocked if Allan was to leave. But I would also pay an arm and a leg for him. Allan and Roo up forward is a premiership combo right there, with Kosi and Fritta. Yes please x 100.

I am sure he is trying to get back for Saturday night too. The man is unhinged. Doubt they'll risk him.

Kosi’s is definitely the best, but Chin gets my votes for taking one over that cocky little kid 😂

Nobody has a 100% strike rate. For some of his earlier misses, he’s gotten absolute gems with later picks. He was also spot on with upgrading our draft position in critical years (eg 2019 when we managed to get Kosi by trading a future 1st). Weideman is the only top 10 pick that I think he stuffed up given McKay and Curnow were both available. But even watching a glimpse of Windsor this year, which many didn’t rate so highly, I can tell it’s another master stroke. A speedy wingman with endurance who wins contested ball? Unicorn stuff!

Amazing. Not like we play two top 4 teams in the next two weeks who happen to have really good ruck combos. 2024 is not it.

Don’t think Verral has the tank to play a full game in the ruck against two super experienced big bodies rucks. Why oh why did we recruit Fullerton if we don’t play him when Gawn is injured? He’s not on our list for any other reason.

Who takes the ruck?

Thanks for that What’s the timeframe for recovery after an appendectomy?

Any doctors in the house who can shed some light on whether the two medical events are related, or a completely unfortunate coincidence?

Imagine trading a sledgehammer for a feather duster. Ridiculous. I think Max King is going to be a good player, and is clearly talented, but Roo is going to be just as good and is much more likely to stand up in a big final given how physical he is. Nothing better than watching him launch at a pack. Love his confidence and his maturity.

Yes, McGovern is a big sook

The ideal outcome is that he becomes a really good shut down small defender and it allows us to unleash McVee to play higher up the ground. McVee kicking inside 50 = winning

Please form an orderly line behind @WalkingCivilWar

They really are insufferable. Such a collection of punchable heads. They are the Port of Queensland. Forever doing nothing in finals.

If we manage to make the 8 and win a final, that would be a great season given the amount of young talent we’ve unearthed this season.

McGovern had no influence on the game either. By the way, why is McGovern allowed 3-5 business days to dispose of the football? 🤷‍♀️

It’s basically the only timeslot you can take younger kids to IMO. Left the house at 11:30 and home by 5:00. It’s ideal. I love a night game but it’s definitely a solo outing for me (with other family and friends but not the kids)

He’s playing like he’s aged backwards. I swear. I hope we can convince him to go another year.

Correction: he hasn’t won an argument since 2016 when he met me 😂

6- Rivers 5- Roo 4- Windsor 3- Viney 2- Melksham 1- McVee (Ryan was non existent and he’s a match winner)

Long may they rot under Simpson. I hate them. Except Hunt.
