Need a good midfielder Good luck to these guys but other than AMW who is tracking okay I would be surprised if they make it. Nothing to be ashamed of. They are still at an elite level relative to most

Floating... the VFL very similar to the Titanic

If so that's where they need to practice shooting from. I agree it would be better to be in front but if you can improve the pocket shot by 20% you win most games Headphones.... screaming distracting noises.... practice

Don't tell me Lions to replace us on percentage perhaps?

If Saints win the night before against Brisbane... Carlton will be fighting to stay in the 8 Should be a good win for us but.................

I see my trade as does yours values Jackson at more than Naughton so perhaps WCE would need to throw in a pot sweetener ( a mid level defender perhaps) or perhaps even the WCE second round pick

Does this make general sense... Naughton to WCE for pick 1/2 Lobb plus Freo first pick (16) to Dogs for pick 1/2 to Freo Freo's pick 1/2 plus Meek to MFC for Jackson

Multiple combinations but I suppose we are hoping for Carlton to beat Brisbane but not by so much that they get say a 5 point percentage boost. Life would be so much easier had we beaten the Dogs and the Pies Swans looking good to move into top 4

He's had one game in around 16 weeks and that was against the near bottom VFL side. In that game he got a few touches in the last third none of which were meaningful. Add to that he's never played forward in an AFL match. We're desperate but not that desperate yet

Sarcasm aside your points are valid which is why his position will be as a defensive forward which does not involve the skills you mention. Mind you with his luck an injury is almost certain. His real problem is that he has missed so many matches it's hard to see him being match fit during the last 2 weeks of the AFL season. Do the VFL play finals in the bye week. If so that could be useful

Freo kicking the important goals to maintain their buffer that quarter. Not over but they are looking okay

A lot of water has passed under that bridge from what one hears. Due diligence can confirm if correct

We lead the Dogs by 27 points or thereabouts and gave up the lead. Let's see how Freo go

I can see the role. Defensive forward to spoil the opposition intercept marker and to bring the small forwards into play. Goal kicking will be secondary Will it work...perhaps.. it's very similar to the role he played in the backline

Is he a free agent? Must be a restricted free agent at least

He's out of contract having signed a one year extension with GWS in 2021

In another thread posters are calling for Petty to play forward. Hogan makes a lot more sense if the fit is right. He's reported as saying he wished he never left the MFC

28 this coming February Late second rounder and a highly conditional contract with KPI's Bottom line is whether he will put the work in Not as silly as it sounds

And we're unlikely to have an almost 2-1 ratio of inside 50's

That's team orders. Turning it over on 50 in the corridor is a non negotiable thus the pocket. On the other hand if Goodwin said "back your judgement"............

careful you'll upset the loading gurus

There's little at VFL level to excite We have great team wins whereas what you want at that level is individual dominance Time for a new VFL strategy next year

Should perhaps have discussed how his gameplan failed

coaching failure at so many levels

Not this year The time to try some other players was against WCE and NM but no.......
