48 Year Now

What do you think we would get for him.

Yes, or is playing to a ridiculous game plan. I’m thinking is weighing up offers from a few clubs.

Realistically the games not winnable. I had us between 8-14 this year. Time to try and lock down position going forward. Windsor is a wingman Jefferson stays for at least 5 more games Laurie at least 4 games in the middle. Play Thorstrup , Langford and Lindsay for remainder of the year but monitor their bodies and give breaks based on fitness, energy , not so much week to week performance.

Logic says the players need a new voice, game plan. The rest is just sentiment and paying out a contract.

Thx, We are crying out for leadership so i would give him a very extended time in seniors in midfield. Gawn guarantees a midfielders 10 or more touches so I’ve always suspected our stars were overrated to that degree.

Excuse my ignorance. Who is Bill?

The dream is over. Time to look ahead. Trade Table Oliver Lever Salem Trac? If good offer.

I have virtually no interaction with the club but bumped into Pert one day, and told him how happy and appreciative I was to see a premiership after 57 years of support. He said , yeah and how good were the girls winning too.

Bergman is the player to get.

Ok, I didn’t understand the statement

Um? Try again when sober PF

I’ll call it Bailey Smith is not fit for whatever reason when the pressure is on. He jogs back, avoids any contact in backline, sprints forward for an easy possession, up and under kick with no strength, then hunched over hands on hips like an under 15 year old. Media hasn’t picked it up, just looks at possessions and kilometres run.

Sadly i agree. Oliver has a battle to get mentally well, get supervisor the role and then improve his disposal. That’s a big task.

And it wasn’t always the toughest kid who won British Bulldog. Skill and smarts came into it.

Love it, yes British Bulldog

Interesting on Laurie. Most of us remember coaches favourites in teams who got the ball a lot but butchered it and always got in best players. I feel to be a midfielder with Gawn guarantees x amount of kicks so you had better make them count.

Outs as importance as ins now Look to 2026. Salem, Melksham at the end now. Sparrow, just a battler, find new home Petty, competing but can’t turn down to injury or wear and tear. find new home. Ins to be given a good go. Laurie, see if he’s up to it. Tholstrup, get games into him Verall, Max needs support. Mentha, give him a look Jefferson , an obvious one who will be better again with another pre season strength building.

It’s starting to feel a lot like 1968. The similarity being four years past a Premiership, still lots of Premiership players but the vast majority fading. Need some big decisions from the club on coaches and a few players.

In Jefferson, McDonald, Verall, Laurie Thorstrup. Our Petty, May, Salem, Rivers, Chandler

Agree

Spot on. Need to go and watch a basketball player practice shooting, cricket player perfecting a stroke. And get rid of the bloody soccer ball.

Time to have a real talk about Viney. Calmly look at all his disposals and rethink his role.

Id keep Campbell if we can’t find a ruck forward . Billing’s yes delist I’d have a look at Culley? Trade Spargo Laurie, yes but don’t think we’d get much Be open to trade JVR. Be open to trade Salem

For mine, the most pressing need is to find support for Max to extend the career of the greatest ruckman the game has seen. Campbell was good recruiting as an injury back up but we need a ruck forward .
