Return to Glory

I'd take Viney out of the midfield, probably permanently. Release Windsor and/or Lindsay further up the ground by placing him across the half back line if we think he's a good enough distributor of the ball. Otherwise, he plays a defensive forward role.

How'd it be to be a Suns supporter? Club getting flogged. Never mind, we've got three players in the Academy who are ranked as top 10.

It's funny how that works. I'm probably the same but would also like Jessie Hogan to do well

I still love ANB

Is there a reason Ricky Mentha can't be a sub and maybe give Kolt a rest?

Honestly, this umpiring is criminal.

How is that a free kick?? He dived forward after being caught in possession

Are commentators now terrified to criticize Collingwood? And that includes Garry Lyon. I've just watched a Collingwood player clearly late to a marking contest, clutter into a Freo player. 50 metres was awarded and, for mine, it was a no-brainer. Garry banged on about it like it was the worst decision of the year.

SWYL, I think you're spot on here. I remember when Hawthorn moved players on, there was a real fear for them as to how far they'd gone. I've come around to thinking that we have to be every bit as ruthless. It should feel uncomfortable. It should be daunting. What we're doing now is not the answer.

And that was probably as a consequence of being so starved of success, that it then became to harder to let go. It was perhaps all a bit new.

Praha, Viney is a problem as I can't think of a club who'd want him. Sydney got in fast and sent them Luke Parker.

And in a perfect world, I'd get Corey Enright in and have a Longmire or even a Hinkley beside him. Others may differ.

Have just come back from picking up my 17 year old daughter from a party....as part of the uber service I seem to provide. Turned on the radio as I travelled from one side of the Peninsula to the other. Generally don't listen to SEN Talk back but a bloke got on and basically said that we were crazy if we thought Goodwin, Oliver, Petracca, Richardson, Viney were going to take us back to the success of 2021. He's right. As unpalatable as it seems, we now have to be ruthless. Delusional to think we can compete in the next 4 years so it's time to move some big players, thank them for their service and stop pretending. Other clubs have bitten the bullet and are coming out the other side. Hawthorn springs to mind. New President, new CFO, and a major clean out.

Like this BTF. I think Viney is now a major concern. I really don't know, but could you play him down back? It'd perhaps give more opportunities to our outside mids.

Feel a little for Tholstrup. Not sure if he's up to it, but doesn't appear to have a clear role. Maybe play him as an out and out tagger.
