Thanks 'bin'...I found that whole press conference entertaining. He really seems to enjoy poking fun at the pundits...what was his line about Carragher?, you can name him. Or the Roy Keane not being a good guy one. I really enjoy some of the stuff from Keane, Neville, Wright, Carragher and Scott on the overlap. Very entertaining but some of them struggle to get Ange.

Love Ang...he's very much his own man. The problem is the Brit pundits (and some of the Spurs stick in the mud fans) can't understand how an Aussie can come from out of nowhere and turn the competition on it's head with a different style of play. As he asked one of them the other night "was it entertaining?"...

I thin by the end of the season we might be hearing 'How did Lindsay get to pick 11', what a steal.

Godwin's honesty is about a point in time, season 2024...last season where we finished 14th. Now 'BBP', you are a renowned glass half empty type but I doubt Goodwin sees us performing the same way in season 2025. If we get a clear run at it there is no reason for us not to finish top 4 and be in the running for another flag.

Mindfulness is good, I'm a bit wary of guru's in this space though.

Can you tell us anything about him?

I thin she's a better kick 'Dees', not a great one but a bit better and she's both left and right.

Thought that too 'norm', Westy but a better kick.

It's going to be a long summer... When does the footy start? Please!

Maybe May, Petty, Tommy or Ricks spot...

I haven't seen any of these girls but hope we go with O"Hehir as we need a big, classy mid... It's the one area where we get beaten up.

If he's to make it, I think it will be as a key position player. He's not a ruckman. Seems to have good hands and a bit of agility, just no ruck craft.

You would sure hope so...

There is no arrangement with Scopus and the MFC...and no reason for one. As 'Red' says above our arrangement would be with the Trust.

It's why I would like to see her go back... I think we have the forward half covered now but have need of another tall back. Her athleticism and intercept marking would be good coming off half back I would think. The Hawks didn't even want to give up pick 14 so we can forget overs.

Love to see her stay on 'norm'...could imagine her running off CHB, what an intercept mark she would be and blasting the ball forward.

Yep, it's creating separation in those first few steps...

Why do you feel the need to attack other posters? Surely you can express an opinion without lowering yourself to this.

I like Sherriff a lot but I think Fitzy really stepped up in her absence this year.

I've always thought she has been a big part of the culture of the team and it's why I tread carefully with her and her performance on ground. It just appears she's really struggling with the bigger and faster opponents now in the system I'm not sure what position she plays. I don't think she can hold her own as a mid anymore so where does she play? Would love to see Lil come out and have a big 2025...

Absolutely not a cop out...you obviously don't watch games or understand footy if you think roles have nothing to do with it.

I think he will be 'bin'...1st year player, his kicking was a bit inconsistent. You would expect that with the increase of pressure in the game.

Different roles, both great players. 2 AFL Coaches awards says he hurts sides, obviously not with his goal kicking.

Are you advocating Duke playing in the centre this season?

Your initial statement was wrong...but whether players pass him by or not is another thing all together. His field kicking is a strength but will it be enough? He is no guarantee of a game and still being in the rehab group does not set him up well for the season ahead.
