    I hope I’m wrong too but the club has also shown faith in players before that just haven’t made it. Its not an easy competition to break into and be successful and the position he has been recruited for is not an easy one Let’s all hope he continues to improve and evolves more in the JUH style than those the other guys I’ve mentioned. JUH can mark the ball and is learning to compete physically - his kicking is still a bit hit and miss but he clearly has a lot of upside. He is the type of player that I think the club believes Jefferson could be - fingers crossed šŸ¤ž

    Jefferson was just ok and nothing more - I made the effort to actually watch that game on replay as I’d read the comments in the match day thread about him performing well His direct opponent was a very raw defender who frankly looks like he might struggle to make it Jefferson’s kicking for goal was bordering on embarrassing and he constantly kept running too close to the man on the mark (such a basic and fundamental mistake). I saw little from him in terms of intensity and physicality to give me any more than a glimmer of hope. For me he still sits in the category of talented junior that performed well at times against kids but may never transition to an AFL player We have seen this type of player before - Weed and Schache two recent examples on our list - hopefully I’m wrong but I do have serious doubts that he has what it takes

    Potential to cause injury šŸ˜‚ Is that anything like jumping with your knees into someone? I wonder šŸ’­ Nobody is getting injured from a glancing blow which was all this was - ridiculous imo

    Hope he finds the level that doesn’t involve him on TV asap
  5. Maybe some people have suggested Billings Is teetering on the edge for all the reasons you’ve listed low possession count soft as on tackling efforts terrible attrmpts at kicking goals I’m not advocating for him to be dropped but those who are do have valid reasons to question his continued selection
  6. Brisbane have been far from impressive so far this season - they will probably get an easy kill against a young North side and a boost of confidence but they are not in great form imo

    I try to look at these things as if one of our guys was on the receiving end In this case it just seemed quite innocuous and relatively speaking had less impact on the player contacted than a hard tackle that is allowed dozens of times each game Fine maybe but anything beyond that seems excessive to me - if it was one of ours coping that I’m confident I wouldn’t be calling for a suspension

    Yep and the free against him for insufficient intent on the Wing was comical He is clearly out of favour with the umpires
  9. Probably realises he has a pretty poor team to coach Apart from a few good players they drop off very quickly
  10. Gotta say I was really doubtful Howes was ready but he is really performing way beyond my expectations Great work Blake and keep up the good work McVee, Howes and Windsor 3 very impressive young players
  11. Good win without playing all that well - Adelaide are a very ordinary footy team imo
  12. 4 weeks for that umpire
  13. 4 weeks for that umpire
  14. Clear free to May not paid
  15. More silly post
  16. I’ve been paying attention and it looked ok to me If one of their duffers did that I wouldn’t be howling for a suspension
  17. Playing with one hand
  18. McVee BOG imo
  19. Windsor is an absolute beauty Apparently fine holding both of Maxs arms in ruck contests šŸ˜’
  20. Wow they get a lot of time to get rid of it
  21. David Wojcinski
  22. Yep - so we have all the motivation we need to win imo
  23. Good thing none of our starting 22 are over 70 šŸ˜‚
  24. Hard to believe there’d be any breeding going on amongst that lot

    I’m not whinging just stating the obvious - the deal we got for LJ was not ā€œthe best value everā€ - simple was it all that was on the table - maybe - but best value ever is laughable - in value terms we are miles behind on that trade atm
