Random Task

Apologies, a crude joke

I don't really want to beat them off anyway

Its starting to get some attention now, but their list outside of their top half dozen or so is only average. With all due respect to these players, it's no wonder they're not a certified top 8 team when you have Williams, Baker, Khamis, O'Donnell, Vandermeer, Johannisan, Duryea playing regularly with a young Sanders and Gallagher. Macrae is out of form and probably past his best and Daniels not preferred in the side and has significant limitations, his skills by foot have deserted him over recent years and are inconsistent at best. Smith obviously out injured doesn't help their shallow midfield beyond their core 3. Bevos been there a while now and done quite well with the list he has in my opinion. It will be interesting to see if the heat ramps up on him though. They're trapped in that mid-tier level currently.

Kid will be fine

At the very least it will be in Kozzie out Salem. Will have to seen who plays well at Casey. Depth is real thin. I don't think Tholstrup and Woewodin are ready or at the level yet. Petty, Brown, JvR and Fritsch hardly got near it but you have to perist with that group unless you want to substitute one of the talls for Fullarton (surely not Schache). We need to work out what we're doing with Oliver. Get his hand right and stick him in the middle. If he's not fit, give him 6 weeks off and make him do a mini pre-season. If not that, play him through the middle for 60% and work his way up.

It was

6. Gawn 5. Lever 4. Langdon 3. Viney 2. Chandler 1. T-mac

I know Oliver isn't at full fitness but at least give him some centre bounce attendance. Absolutely wasted at half-back.

We should have lost this by 70

Players are cooked

Haven't seen our midfield be so inept in years.

We get to stew on this all weekend. [censored] Thursday night footy.

Can't help but feel we have a lot of arrogance in playing unfit or underdone players. Oliver, Brown and Chandler all look shot.

Unfortunately I think we can

There's our Kingsley

Getting absolutely smashed in clearances. Done well to limit the Lions to 4 goals with how much pressure the backlines been under.

How could that possibly be insufficient intent?

Hopefully he's available. Kolt said he was the reason he wanted the #39 jumper.

My first thought was that the club could have concerns about McAdams ability to get on the park.

Fair call, probably why he's not playing regularly. Good thing we couldn't trade up for him is it would have cost us Rivers.

Hayward, Florent, McCluggage, Cumming, Henry all worthy of consideration as free agents. Do we look at Dev Robertson as midfield depth? Can't get a regular spot in the Lions side and with possible disunity among the group perhaps wants to get out? We liked him in his draft year. Edit: and of course Max Holmes if there's any chance of landing him.

Adelaide may have to cough up a top 5 pick for him. They may not be willing. Good chance for us to put forward a 4-5 year contract and show our commitment and belief in him.

Sounds good, you get his signature and I'll get Max's.

Nope, we should be offering him 5 years +. Would be an excellent point of difference in our midfield.

Geelong...
