Ted Lasso

He could not play again this year and still win the bluey

Would be silly to knock back the offer from north imo, especially considering I think he'll be a premiership player by the end of this year

Paddy will be a very good player but he is going to take some time, I fully expect the saints will just let him develop as best they can to take over when roo calls time. Im very happy with petracca but they're probably to different to compare

The biggest question I have around track is does he end up being a better mid or forward? I personally like him being 70% forward with midfield bursts

What's impressive is that despite gawn being out, getting smashed in the hit outs and increased attention he is not slowing down. If you could pick between Oliver, Bont, Cripps and heeney who would you take??

Considering what we'd have to give up to get him I see little value in the idea

Dom is almost symbolic of our team, he's winning the ball and doing a lot right but is just wasting it far to often his decision making needs work

The most impressive thing about Oliver was how clean he was, even in the wet! Kid is the best of that draft class by a mile so far including mills and wietering

I am 99.9% sure mr dank has the records and knows very well what they would reveal if they ever became public. I mean imagine the stink Essendon would have kicked up if they thought someone had records proving they were innocent.

That's all based on the assumption that he did anything illegal at the Gold Coast, given he was also involved at the cats I think bomber knew all he needed to know. If you have some evidence bomber please come forwards otherwise stfu

Karma.

I find it amazing for a bloke in his second year performing the way he is and he has to find the one even slight negative. Jesus he did the same thing with Jesse and his goal kicking

He is Oliver wines 2.0 hes wines but cleaner, better skills and has speed

I suspect crows will want Gibbs again so maybe a three way deal would be possible, first rounder and bugg to Carlton ( they love gws rejects)

We need a genuine outside midfielder I think, but I also think hunt will eventually move into that role

he's a ten year key back capable of being around the mark of all Australian for most of that time. Mid personally be happy to over a very good salary and see if we can lure him home. If we can pay melksham 400k surely we could put 600-650 on the table for lever

I expect clarry to fade as the year drags on but I reckon right now he's way out in front of the bluey

If all of our players were as professional and had the work habits of billy stretch we would be flag favourites. It's a big part of why he's loved by all his coaches

Don't worry, saty is just so keen to defend players that he often misses what a poster is really saying, to your point I think yes track is good enough to be a match winner right now! I think his performance in JLT2 showed that

When I look at the best 3 up and coming key forwards in the comp lynch, Jesse and joe they have cover the ground so well and run their opposition off their feet, I've never seen anything to suggest paddy can do this, I think he's a Charlie Dixon style full forward who might be good but not reach the level of the three above. Petracca to me the only real concern I have with him is I am not sure if he's either a genuine forward or mid, I think he may well only ever be a burst midfield player which is fine if the others come on as expected

I think gus plays less midfield minutes which doesn't help his possession count but he still clearly has the same class, very confident he's tracking along well

I won't measure it in goals personally but I think track will have a decent influence for us this year, he is going to be a star

I think petracca is already as good as jake stringer and we will see this very clearly as the year plays out.

Interestingly hawthorn people who had track training there in his under age year said his attitude was the best of all the young players they've seen and they were shocked he didn't go pick 1. I remember asking at the time if they were aware of any attitude issues, and they said outside of him being quite cocky/arrogant there wasn't so maybe it's a rumour we spread to get him at pick 2

I think paddy will become a good player in time, probably not elite but a good player. Petracca is already a good player and looks well on the way to being elite. But they needed a key forward at the Time and we needed mids.
