We need to bring another wingman in to pair with Langdon. Polec seems an obvious choice... I would also look at Phillips but as '@DeeSpencer' tells me Phillips may be too similar to Langdon and we could do with something a bit different. I can see that he has a point there. ...be that as it may Baker is still developing and whether he has any more to give time will tell. I don't see Hannan filling the spot and we don't have another season to waste trying to find out. We need to bring someone in.

If we can get a good deal for Preuss I would take it. I'm not convinced in him as a good ruck option anyway...nor of his trade value. Surprising many on here seem to overvalue him substantially as the 2nd coming of Grundy or the like. ...but if someone is willing to pay the price we can use the pick or trade for a player we need. Then look to picking up a back up ruck from the state leagues.

So the real question is...who choses the selectors? That's a really average committee. Darcy, Ling & Richardson display their total lack of knowledge of the game on a regular basis into our lounge rooms... Jakovich & Tredrea are dills. KB??? I guess you should have one ex coach, but.... Gill (lol)... Hocking (lol) ...and I'm not sure why Johnson is there??? seems the odd man out.

He's really not...

I think the Eagles 1 year deal is about right. If anyone wants to offer more good luck to them. It wouldn't be a smart move.

This is Geelong's last dance...it's now or never for Danger and he knows it.

My understanding at North is that Shaw doesn't listen... ...even though it's Polec's 3rd club, he may not be fully to blame for being on the outer. He is the type of player we could do with...leg speed, foot skills.

If that's true, good for them. They were 100% right. Look what a similar camp did for Adelaide. You don't leave a valuable commodity, your players in the charge of unqualified people.

I thought BT excelled himself tonight, in great form coming into finals. I honestly didn't think he could get any worse than he has been this season. I was obviously wrong.

The positive for C/Wood is at least Bucks and Sando can get in a game of tennis.

I mentioned something a while ago on this as a possible trade for one of our mids, not Oliver or Petracca... ...but they need what we have too much of and we need what they have too much of.

Rumours can be fun but we've had some posters go above & beyond. Misleading would be a kind word. That's where it's no longer fun.

I'm still for moving Sparrow back, I know you're not keen on his disposal but he seems to have tidied up a bit. Good size, strength and reasonable leg speed. I just don't see him as a mid, doesn't find the ball. The obvious replacement for Jetta, another who couldn't find the ball further up the ground.

Eddie would go into convulsions...not a bad thing though. Daicos has certainly come on a bit this year, thought at first he was name value only but can play.

Petty could take that tall defender spot. Will add that Tomlinson has been ok...an upgrade on Oscar. Spending on a KPF would be a waste, agree. As you posted before Weid has been pretty good in his games back but missed Jackson toward the end...all the KPF's have struggled this season so expectations on Weid have been too high. He's done his job.

Agree 'Dee'...another running wingman who can work hard up and down the ground. We need to get into someone like we did with Langdon, Phillips at the Pies (yes has a contract but rumours they might offload because of cap issues) has been my suggestion but happy to hear others.

I would swap Goody with Demonlanders...have to be crazy to support Melbourne.

Could someone please explain how the hub rules work... I was listening to SEN the last week and one of the players was out at a coffee shop getting his regular fix. Wish I could remember who it was....coffee or beer, either way you're not in a hub. Regularly frequents the coffee shop. Surely this is not how it works?

Exhibit A: Luke Hodge saying he doesn't like the shortened game, he just doesn't like the 90 minute game. Much prefers the old hour and a half game...

He's got something special this kid.... Again he stood up when the pressure was on. His contest then tackle in the last stopped their run on & helped turn the game back in our favour. He lifted when we needed him.

Rivers - saved our bacon...

To be fair I thought you started this thread...but there you go, at least you got in there with something kinda dumb.

Nothing would surprise but touch wood, we have gotten better at these games. No excuses, we've had a reasonable break.

Cheer up 'dazz'...I reckon we should take EFC. ...and at least then we're in it for another day.

He's been out injured...hamstring. It's really as simple as that.
