On these highlights he really is...the best all round package I can remember seeing.

Yep, it's why I think we play Goldie in the middle against these teams in particular. She has the strength to go with them. Lil is most definitely not the answer. I wouldn't also be against the idea of running Harris in short bursts as a mid to break things up a bit. We keep giving teams the same look. Mick talks about the teams flexibility, it's time to really show it. On another note, I hope Makin is back this week..she adds real X factor to the forward half that's been missing.

Love Goldie, she is very underrated...having a great season.

Well, I guess we'll either look like geniuses or just plain stupid...

No ...and no

I think Mick is fantastic, he and Daisy set up this team and are a big part of the culture. The team themselves, what a great bunch they are. Peter Jackson again had the foresight to get on board way back when others couldn't see it. It mustn't also be forgotten that one of the people 'Robbo' has been taking pot shots at...the Prez, Kate Roffey has been very proactive. ...and I will also say a big part of the success of the women's team are the cheer squad who are the envy of the competition and an absolute credit to themselves and the club.

Love it 'Dees'... If the girls can now make it back to back it will cap off a great season for the club.

With Joel's injury history it wouldn't surprise...

I might be wrong but I think it then went to the AFL minor premiers until it's rejuvenation in the current format.

You wouldn't be taking him at pick 6 on that performance.

Pity about Chaka, I don't feel so bad missing her. Probably always going to be hit or miss. Nile is always great, a great catalog to draw from. ...and speaking of catalogs to draw from, I guess McCartney has the ultimate. A 3 hour show and still missed some classics that others would have as their show stopper at the end of a show. At 81 or 2...whatever age he is now, his voice is not so strong but to his credit he does it live and really knows how to put a show together. The band are great, have been with him for a long time now and have it totally nailed. A great experience. Like you I got home late & watched the game (I wonder if the big shows in town drew some of the crowd away), I thought the team played well. Heath is a legend the way she just gets in the way, must be a total pain to play against and she does hurt going the other way. Your summation of Hanks is spot on, I wish we could find a male version for the mens team. She doesn't have the size of some of the big names in the competition but I think she's the classiest mid going around. Her Skipper is up there in the class ranks, such a wonderful player and leader. ...and hasn't Zanker really come on. Always had it but now realising her ability. Of course, I have a soft spot for the Irish girls. ...and mustn't forget McNamara, her game has come on in leaps and bounds. When she started her kicking was very average but now is a strength, she's always been a great runner.

How were Chaka and Nile?

I think it's a good chance that we take pick 3 to the draft. If it's 6 & 11 well it's still a good hand.

I'm off to McCartney... I've seen Nile before and he's great but when I found out Chaka was on the same night as the Beatle I did a Terry Wallace. Enjoy! Looking forward to the replay of the game, hopefully with the right result..

She's a ripper... My comment re her and Garner is not meant as a put down, I just think Goldie might be the better match on pure defensive terms. Shelley might get the job and it wouldn't surprise me, she will be a real pain in the a... for Garner and may hurt more going the other way.

I think we might go with Goldie...Heath is a tenacious tagger but may be a bit too small for Garner.

You would have to think we have a plan in place. If we can see it from the outside then surely the club can. ...because as you say at the moment it looks very thin on paper. It will be more than interesting to see how the list stands after the trade and draft period.

If she ever got her ground ball game together she would be unstoppable.

Thanks '@Macca' one of the few voices of reason.

I heard Petty's sister is moving to Melbourne to be closer to her brother.

Yes, we do need to strengthen our list but I'm not sure any of these players are a realistic option to do it. Tommy Hawkins is only one step behind TMac & BBB, and this step is quite likely to be in 2024. We don't need another crippled KPF. Isaac has retired...he made it pretty clear that the country lifestyle & Cats coaching philosophy was a big part of him playing on there. Sure, ask the question but I don't think he sees city life in his future plans. Sam Reid is an interesting call. I really rate Sam as a player & a fit Sam Reid would be a huge asset. He would have been for Sydney in the 2022 GF & that's the problem. You very rarely get a fit Sam Reid. As for Ginnivan, I just don't think he's very good. He is a very lucky premiership player who offered nothing on the big stage. A fit Adams would have played ahead of him.

I'm of that persuasion too 'Jimmy', was always a fan of the Allan Jeans give them nothing boring press conference. ...but having said that, I'm not overly fussed by the whole thing. Players cop it for the old one week at a time, the boys played well boring cliches... When someones steps out of the box everyones lining up to whack them.

...but does he want to sign with them. Let him be their Jackson.

Loved Cornes this morning...got stuck into May but really winding up the C/wood faithful then got stuck into the Tiges. ...if you're going to be a click bait junkie you can't do much better than that. I hope he sent a nice gift to Steven for services rendered.

Hawkins has been a great player and despite all the don't like hims on here is probably a good bloke. Never met him so wouldn't know... Anyway, I think he's shot. Do we really want to carry Tmac, BBB and Tommy Hawkins on the list.
