  1. wow - sounds like one that we can all get very excited about in 2024 😲 I for one think you might be being a touch harsh - but if he does join us let's all get behind him and hope he surprises you
  2. Well, that seems a little bit inconsistent with him requesting a trade to us.
  3. Swans are smart list managers I wouldn’t call them scrooges if they can get deals done
  4. Last year we got Jed Adams with pick 38 - seems like unders for a multiple AA Ruckman but what would I know.
  5. No way if it means Petty goes
  6. Funny you say Watson I thought he looked like a faster version of Mark Harvey
  7. It is beyond ridiculous - before the AFL decided that it was essential that Carlton play and win finals the umpires call was irreversible unless there was clear evidence to the contrary Well that went flying out the door quick and remarkably it always seems to favour CFC Hopefully there will be a system next season that is not so easily manipulated
  8. Ok clearly you don't rate him Against the Blues He had more disposals and less game time than the following. McVee Fritta Bowey Jordon Smith Chandler TMac He chases hard, can tackle and when he gets the ball he is creative and does hit targets consistently. If you don't think that's correct, I'd suggest you don't watch too many games. I'd be sending Chandler packing well before Spargo - Chandler did SFA during that game and the same can be said of Jordon. You find out a lot about individual players when it really matters (finals)
  9. So we get rid of the only bloke that consistently hits targets inside 50 - our biggest weakness Strange if true
  10. I feel our biggest Achilles heel is both field kicking and goal kicking - a 10% improvement in both and we are probably playing this weekend Easy in theory but not sure it's possible to achieve without some different playing personnel - unfortunately some of our best players are actually also the worst offenders. It's going to be quite fascinating to see what the club does over the off season.
  11. I have a mate who is friends with Levi - his knees are about as good as BBB - look elsewhere is my suggestion
  12. He is a suited to a pocket or flank - he doesn't have the size for KPB imo
  13. Would be a big risk to try Disco forward but he is mobile and can take a grab - can see him adding more as a forward than Grundy tbh
  14. Nah sorry nobody deserves to lose on a crappy score review system After our loss to Carlton we all said it’s going to cost someone a final - well here we are it has Its a farce
  15. So Carlton only have to get close and it’s a touched ball on the goal line unbelievable
  16. Comedy gold from the score review again Swans goal called no obvious touch - called behind what a joke
  17. Mentally is Grundy still a Demon or has he already checked out of the building? I suspect he has at least one foot out the door as he is meeting other clubs while we ae still playing finals. We saw how effective Jackson was after his mind left to go west. Tomlinson can't compete with any big forward that has a) speed or b) can jump more than 5 cm off the ground so not sure he gets a game unless there is a specific match up that suits - I can't think of one in either Carlton or Sydney (which is the reason Turner played in Sydney) JVR shouldn't be suspended but we always seem to be on the wrong side of the Tribunal Laurie isn't ready for the heat of finals - I'd also say Chandler would be very lucky to retain his spot - personally prefer Spargo who while not a big possession getter is one of our best and most creative users inside F50 - something we are poor at atm. We lost this game because despite having almost double the number of F50 entries we continue to hack the ball in high and slow - unless we wake up and address that we are going to lose most games, particularly finals. Our efficiency inside F50 of 33% last night is really embarrassing and some real soul searching needs to happen very quickly.
  18. Oh - a bit like the Petracca goal that the Carlton player clipped the ball on the goal line Sorry I forgot there seems to be different rules / standards applicable to whoever is the AFL darlings JVR had his elbow tucked when he contacted McFlop - nothing to it - if it was a Daicos or Cripps it wouldn't even get a mention
  19. I don’t get why people think JVR will get suspended that sort of clash happens dozens of times in a final like this - no malice , elbow not high, don’t think he even hit him directly in the head , no injury Compare that with Maynard who according to some people has no case to answer Strange
  20. Interesting Dees now favourite on Sportsbet
  21. Really annoying that Jeremy Howe feels the need to chip in with [censored] commentary about how we have mistreated his mate Brodie I would love nothing more than someone running through him (in a fair but brutal fashion) during the QF
  22. If we have a forward in mind we may need a decent pick from a Grundy trade to help make that work
  23. Probably would have run back home to Perth at the first opportunity
  24. What’s the go with the fingernails ???
