It's a tough one both have plenty of upside and years ahead of them, Brayshaw is so much of what we already have in abundance, whilst Cerra is a good user and decision maker Interesting times ahead

possibly, but I think Freo are keen

No! a troll and not a very good one

Yes chief WA scout was a regular attendee at the family home

Elijah Taylor, Cody Weightman if we trade down pick 2/3 for 2 picks and pick up one of the Tigers overflows or Sam Gray on the cheap

FFS if you're relying on him/her to provide any valuable input don't hold your breath. This is the same poster who wanted us to use pick #2 on Liam Henry

He may well do and I expect it to drag on but pick 21 is fair Suns are in salary cap strain having been forced to pay overs to keep young talent so pick 2 in PSD is always there if Bell wishes to posture

I actually don't mind this DD, this season exposed our depth issues and just like Crossy, Bernie and Lewy Chunks time is coming and it would be good to have him as depth which I expect he will be if the majority of our list remains fit

I live in WA mate, they are fickle lot over here and turn very quickly on players who decide they are moving. Eagles supporters turned very quickly on Judd, when he said he was going home. They fail to acknowledge he looked after them when he could have walked through the PSD, which Carlton wanted him to do I agree with you about not paying overs, pick 21 is about right

Yeah my brother is a member and is gutted, whilst he's not the most damaging by foot absolute gut runner, who he believes is only going to get better

I don't mind trading down for 2 picks, still some good players available who I have seen and been impressed with Jeremy Sharp good run and carry player who uses the ball well could be played off a HBF Elijah Taylor small/medium forward who IMO is better than Liam Henry with more upside

All the best drunkn to Dec and all the family. Cheers for the insight over the years and whilst it may not have been the glamorous career he'd hoped for it was longer than ours

Yeah sure,

Can't believe it took 38 responses for this

Really well articulated and pretty much sums up a lot of my thoughts. Some will accuse us of having low standards, but each to their own

6.Gawny - take a bow, dominant BOG performance 3 Chas votes, AA 22 sewn up and Bluey all sealed today 5. Fritsch- good 4 quarter performance, good leading patterns, good link up ball use and forward threat all day 4.Viney - toss of the coin here between he and Frost who both won their battles against 2 of Norths best 3 players and by taking Cunnington out of the game helped us win the clearances and limit opportunities for Brown 3. Frost see above, did the job on dangerous forward and cost him the Coleman 2. Trac - set game up early, made good decisions and was good around midfield in bursts 1.Clarry - I didn't like his defensive running which marks him down but finds the ball, important at the clearances and just so important to our midfield dominance today

Another master class by Clarko tonight nullified the Eagles at home shutting down their rebound on turnovers by forcing them to not be able to control tempo, controlling the ball, bringing good intensity and tackling pressure. Worpoel doing a job on Yeo and all forward 50 entries either a)over Mcgovern's head to Mcevoy/OBrien bringing it to ground and forcing Barrass and Hurn to be accountable b)low and quick to space to take McGovern out of the game c)All forwards only marking when free in space or being hit up lace out in front. d) Continually spoiling inside 50 entries instead of trying to take a contested grab(except as c) above) and either winning the ground ball or applying pressure to lock it in or force a hurried clearing kick All of the above also prevents quick rebound from defence and Hawks were setting up defensive press from halfback to the wings Simpson and brains trust will know all teams will employ these tactics and will spend 2 weeks working on it, but tonight's loss may leave no room for error

Team played with more freedom, bit like the caretaker coach who just tells the players to take the game on and have a crack, without being consumed by defensive structures as a premium. Happens in a lot of end of season games when caution is thrown to the wind. Max Gawn gave Goldstein an absolute bath, dominant player on the ground, 3 Chas votes Fritsch really good game and starting to haveca bit of Brad Green about him, good leading patterns going to make it difficult for defenders by playing in front Frosty did a job on Brown, whose 2 goals came from a downfield free and a mark on the lead from a turnover when Salem, Harmes and Brayshaw didn't get back quickly enough to fill the hole in front of Brown Viney tagged Cunnington winning the battle and reducing his influence- this is where Viney needs to be used Nibbler, JKH and Stretch weren't to bad but Nibblers skills let him down and should have nailed a goal on the run to level the game but these 3 are VFL/Depth and you don't want to many of them Jones for the most part was ok forward but a player ofchis experience should be kicking down the line and not trying to hit someone up through the corridor with under 2 minutes to go with the lead, basic stuff down the line and start again with a throw in or ball up at worst Lever and Frost intercepted well but Levers turnovers were very costly Trac very good early but still a burst player, makes very good decisions Salem poor 1% player and something has happened with his kicking last month or so, not sure whether he's carrying a niggle or not, along with Brayshaw, Harmes and Clarrie needs to work harder to run with/find his opponent or fill holes when we turn the ball over Hore has had a good first year but skills need a lot of work, but good depth to have if our defenders are all fit Overall better performance than some predicted with some decent chains of ball movement and handballs with depth to break congestion but poor delivery inside 50 was still there. Turnovers/general decision making, accountability for your opponent(eg 2 way running), 1%ers and groundball improvement inside 50 the weaknesses to be worked on and the focus, which along with a decent pre season and improved confidence should see improvement next season

Agree There's some on here who seem to think Mahoney and others in the FD wouldn't have been doing all he/they could from early in the season change things up to get the club back on course for 2020+

Sorry to disappoint Swyl, I have just flown back in from Italy arrived home 3hrs ago having been overseas at a family wedding, (which I eluded to in other posts). Nothing changes the rumour mongers are still playing Chinese whispers adding little bits here and there. Interesting to see the so called Dud in Mahoney has managed to get Burgess and Richardson on board, imagine 2 sort after footy people chosing to come to this basket case

why we're all adults

To anyone involved in Clubs, committees this is a year to show strength, I'm not a n apologist for the club, the FD or the board but this is a time to show strength as a club and grow. Reading demonland over the years through good and bad times tells you a lot about postets, especially those who appear frequently or infrequently in the good and bad times. To anyone I offend in my post I don't apologise whilst you may have the clubs best intentions at heart you have risen with arrogance this season dismissed the 3 year gradual rise and selectively chsosen stats and articles to prove your point. Am I equally guilty possibly but I look at the list, the demographic and the expectations. This season has been a disgrace no other way to describe it and I'm hoping we learn from our complacency. I do not see Mahoney as a problem what I see in this thread and other threads is <Removed pot shots at other posters> The old board and FD would have reacted to the above, thrown staff to the wolves sacked coaches based on discontent. They would also be the first to call talkback or at future club functions complain of the clubs lack of stability Remember before you decide on Mahoney and Bartlett that this club no longer leaks , we have seen significant improvement under PJ and Roos who both endorsed Goody and Mahoney, the season 2019 is a disgrace and seeing how we react will tell you whether these people are worthy of their role. I love this club and want success/contention over a sustained period, it takes time and we are still a year or 2 away from that. Things are never as good as they seem and never as bad as they seem

Congratulations Drunk to you and your family we've all lived Dec's dream through you over the last few years. I t wasn't the AFL outcome I'm sure you hoped for but we'll done to Dec on playing 2 more AFL games than most of us. Best of luck to you and your family should Declan not continue with MFC or Casey

Steve I'm against them receiving a PP but not because of our benefit, my view is further access to young players will do little they need older bigger bodies, C.O.L.A and no limit on FD spending to become anything resembling a football club
