Random Task

Suns really need to change their jumper design if they want to be taken seriously. Hideous.

Both Lever and Langdon we were reportedly keen on during their draft year. We obviously kept tabs on them and got into their ear for the better part of a season, if not longer, to bring them across. It's also widely known that tried to trade our future first to target Butters I the draft but had no takers. Just hoping that he's one we're tracking and having a quiet word to lure him back across whether it be in a season or twos time or later. Have no idea on his contract status and Port are stubbornly efficient at keeping vic kids the don't want to lose so it's more wishful thinking than anything.

I'm hoping Butters is our new slow burn recruit ala Lever and Langdon.

You're weird. I like it.

Unless he was injured it seems the MFC earmarked Ben Brown to come into the team with his limited game time. Bowey is in great form and would love to see him in the side but hard to displace someone in the back half. Unlikely to debut in a high pressure 8 point game against Port either. Wouldn't be surprised to see Melksham given another run. He may not be the player he was in 2018 but he is just about the best person we've got to deliver into forward 50.

6. Lever 5. Salem 4. May 3. Fritsch 2. McDonald 1. Gawn

Not going to throw the baby out but geez that was an ordinary performance with selective intensity. Lever May and Fritsch and Gawn about the only ones that can hold their heads high, T-Mac as well save for his shots on goal. Just about everyone [censored] the bed when it came to goal kicking today. How many snaps skewed off the boot that should have been routine kicks? Midfield needs some serious work. It's been an issue for a while now and our defence has limited the damage but its going to cost us finals if we don't work it out.

How does the saying go? Relax, we've got this?

Think we're all hoping for a freo win then

Tiger players having a sook to the umpires after the siren and fans booing the result sum up the class of that club. Think all non-richmond fans are celebrating that result. As an aside, Gold Coast should strongly consider redesigning their jumper.

Yep, time for someone to take him camping with some co-eds.

Largely injury related with BB was it not? Had knee issues all throughout last season then had surgery or a procedure done during our pre-season in Feb.

You're still going far too early on this Dr. D. The draft is 5 months away. For reference, in Cals 2020 September form update he had Errol guldon at 15, Jack Carrol at 18 and Zane Trew at 21. They ended up at 32, 41 and 12 in the rookie draft respectively. In his December update just a few weeks from the draft, he had Zavier Maher at 25, he missed out completely.

Looked a great size and composed. Has a great opportunity to learn off May and Lever to give himself the best chance at making it.

When are the team line-ups for this game announced? 5pm tonight?

Not to mention them giving up pick 2 for Lachie Weller and 41. Surely they have smarter trade operators now though.

It's a shame but I don't think we had the salary cap space to seriously be in the conversation anyway. I expect we'll be fairly low key this trade period before some money frees up after T-mac and Brayshaws deal expires next year. Even then we'll have to keep some up our sleeve to satisfy Oliver on a long term deal.

I assume they will, they apparently did that last weekend.

VFL games are back on this weekend. Unfortunately for our boys the AFL bye means Casey will also have a bye. Shame for our fringe and young players that need some game conditioning and experience.

I wonder if we need to give consideration to trade in, or perhaps draft, a young(ish) key position forward. Many on here are crying out for Weideman to be traded while Ben Brown and T-mac both have well known form and injury issues over the last couple years and nearing 30. Jackson isn't really a forward and our only other kpf option that I wouldn't mind seeing (although not this year) is Petty. Georgiades would be fantastic and I can see why Taylor was keen on him during his draft year. Unfortunately Port rarely lose players they want to keep and are also in finals contention so I can't see this happening. Any other suggestions?

Would happily have him on the list and he would fit in beautifully, but reckon a first rounder is steep for a half back flanker that can torch it by foot occasionally. I would put a trade on par with the cost for Hibberd i.e. a 2nd round pick.

You know you're having a bad season when a draw increases your percentage by 3%.

Thanks Jaded, now I'm picturing Jon Ralph giving us live tweets of the time of ruptured membranes and dilation progress.

Wow North, just wow.
