Frost is getting a game in a team playing much better than us at the moment. He'd be well ahead of Lever this year.

Oh dear - Happy hour is it ? I only bag the players & coaches when they deserve it. Maybe if our supporters demanded ex more instead of cheering mediocrity we might have had the success that other clubs have had.

I'm retired but I can imagine us working together at the Human Rights Commission or the ABC where we could be Care Bears together & sort out the evil doers.

Imagine what the Collingwood players cop when they lose.

Has anyone else noticed that we have lost almost all the real speedsters off our list in recent years ? This has happened when genuine leg speed is a very valuable commodity. Jeff Garlett was probably cooked so no great loss. Sam Frost would probably get a game with us today. Oskar Baker - probably Casey material. Toby Bedford- would be very, very useful. Jayden Hunt would also be very handy as a line breaker. Maybe the BT doesn't value speed.

It's called resilience. You can either learn to cope with the difficulties life throws at you or maybe complain about whoever is being mean to you & how unfair the world is. I know what I've found to be more useful.

I'm not suggesting it is right I am simply being practical & realistic. On line comments are a fact of life & are not going away so you either learn to deal with it or let it destroy you.

Welcome to the world of elite sports. These kids are making what - $200,000 a year+ Footy forums are full of frustrated supporters some of whom vent and/or overstep the mark on criticism at times. It can be tough on players but that’s just how it is so they need to learn to deal with it or find something else to do.

Hardly surprising. No player likes to read that they are playing poorly.

Did the same thing as Ginnivan & has been destroyed while Ginnivn got a slap on the wrist.

You are a dill RJ. SWYL is not the recruiting department. Goodie & his assistants are paid good $ to make sure we have a balanced list. To go into 2024 with only one 32 y old ruckman who is up to standard is a woeful performance. Shame on them.

Petty is playing without confidence & has been no better than Tomlinson this year.

You must be kidding. Petty mostly fell over & fumbled. He seems totally bereft of confidence & form & has barely contributed this year.

Doubt he is going anywhere next year but he would want to improve his form drastically in 2025. Clayton is getting $1m a year + and delivering a $500,000 a year performance on the field so far.

Anyone among the acolytes disagree that he's has the best defence, best midfield & best ruck going round between 2018 & 2023.
