Hopefully our list management guys are on the same page

Tom De Koning at blues - his contract expires end of this year I believe - would probably prefer him than pay big bucks for Grundy

Mate just told me its confirmed

Agree I watched the Casey game and he copped a lot of physical pressure and it was a complete slog

And it’s going to be lovely and sunny this coming weekend in Sydney 😀 anyway

I watched Collingwood v Sydney yesterday and can tell you based on what I saw Carlton will win next week Fremantle are no certainty to beat GWS on the road either Irrespective of all that we have beaten the Lions in our last 3 encounters - granted not at the Gabba but two were on neutral grounds Our players know what needs to happen We need to shut Neale down and our back six need to play well - if we do that we are a very good chance

Maybe Ed said they were all Souv and no laki - who knows, they generally are a pretty dim lot

Big fan of the Frittata but he was very poor on sat night - has plenty of credits but would not want to repeat that effort again IMO Didn't see the Casey game yet but J Smith in the F50 still has appeal to me - had Melk not performed well he would be a chance

A Cripps bump in their captains run perhaps ?

Impressed you managed girls and not Sheilas BBO - nice work

Well to the best of my knowledge he has yet to make a decision - at least officially

The ladies start at 4.40 BBO 😀

No we wouldn't - if he is in the best 22 players - he plays

Thanks IB13 - agree that Kerr looks to have some ability

I was thinking Harmes to play the defensive forward role in place of Melksham not a midfield role

His inconsistency is infuriating ? He has (per game vs Melksham) Consistently had more disposals Consistently more tackles Consistently more inside 50s Consistently more contested and uncontested possessions Consistently more effective disposals Consistently higher disposal efficiency Consistently higher 1%ers Consistently higher tackles inside F50 Seems a bit inconsistent that he isn't in the team when Jake is if you ask me - yes I get they may have played different positions but James Harmes can hit the scoreboard. He has proven to be our best negating player over and over again when asked to do a job. He is the same height and weight as Melksham and personally I'd like to see a direct swap I think Goodwin is a Melksham fan so what we think matters not

The Grundy / Gawn combination is not the answer to our F50 big man deficiency IMO If LJ does decide to leave and I still hope he doesn't I really hope we don't waste whatever picks we get to secure Grundy - we must use that to get a genuine KPF even one that may take a couple of years to develop - such as Aaron Cadman Next season we must find a better combination of marking talls inside F50

The AFL are a complete and utter farce I really hope we [censored] these upstarts

I’d be asking our playing group their thoughts before I did anything

Bye rounds in the VFL aren't helping any of these guys earn a call up - same applies to JVR too FWIW I thought Jake played very well in his last VFL game but that was 2 weeks ago Don't mind the idea of including him in the team because his disposal is usually good but not sure who he replaces (love what ANB brings but he has been a little out of sorts lately - a couple of other small forwards are also under scrutiny)

I think you need to ask why things didn't work out at Freo - I have no idea and I am not going to speculate but clearly there is more to the JH story than meets the eye

I thought we were happy to let Jessie go - for reasons I am not sure However, if we were keen to let him fly why would we now want him back ?

Yes we would it’s called understanding what all our options are to optimise the outcome whether he stays or goes A meeting with Grundy doesn’t confirm anything at this stage
