No he isn’t, terrible journalist like Caro, report doom and gloom, with nil footy intellect

Contrary to what many on here think, he’s a good footballer with smarts, skill and good vision

It’s actually the better end of the ground to watch from, you won’t be looking into the sun. Last time I was seated at that end of Optus was 25/Sep/2021 what a day/night that was

It’s Easter Sunday, so don’t be surprised if they do actually release seats

Exactly 33 degrees 1st hit out for the season different set ups and tempo etc

Reading the game day thread, clearly others haven’t lost their’s absolutely some gob****e comments, but mostly by the usual suspects

Agreed, injury breeds opportunity for others

Thanks for all the updates, looking forward to the real stuff starting. Not long to go now

They are fitter and will start the season well, however they lack depth in the midfield and whilst they have some good kids coming through they will tire IMO along with the older players like Yeo, Shuey, McGovern and Darling who struggle to get through seasons without wear and tear injury

Thanks Picket for the report, although I had to pick myself up off the floor upon reading positive commentary directed towards Spargo

Just happy we managed to get to 9 wins in 2020 and Goody kept his job for 2021

Nothing helps them, they only see the negative

I actually think Sparrow has a big future with us because he will leave no stone unturned to improve and get the most out of himself. Coaches love players with those traits at any level

Cheers to all the track watchers on the reports

Thanks Daisy for your service onfield and off whilst at the club. You’re a legend of the game and no doubt will be deservedly inducted into the HOF. You have been a breath of fresh air in the commentary box and I wish you and your family all the best in the next chapter of your life

Plenty of talls in this draft, be interesting to see if we go with a tall defender with 1 of those first 4 picks, which I think we will to allow for development over a few seasons

Haven’t heard anything Red, but I have only just returned from a month overseas. I could be mistaken but last I heard Rivers had a partner in Melbourne

Yes, they have the lifestyle draw card specifically for Vic country boys. However I was more referring to the comment of them holding onto their players

Cox was an absolute gun and need to consider a few things with him a) From 2011-14 Natanui was their main ruckman, which effects Coxy’s stats b) We have a really good midfield, but it’s nowhere near what Cox had till 2007 with Judd, Cousins and Kerr, whilst they were absolutely A graders Coxy gave them first use most times with his tapwork. c) I don’t think for his hit out dominance that Max gives us as many first looks Just my opinion

They have the same issues as everyone else, Tim Kelly and Clarke two WA boys who they lost

Aiden O’Driscoll has pace, endurance, skills, awareness and impacts the scoreboard. My only concern is potential flight risk, very close knit family

No surprise because he can play

I reckon with Jones and Darcy their defence improves, issue for them is they don’t defend well enough in their forward half

We get them early enough when they will be up and about, they will be better than last season and certainly better when they put a line through Nic Nat and move on. I expect them to win between 5-8 games and be competitive for the first half of the season but fall away as the younger players tire and the older bodies get sore
