Ted Lasso

That was the best individual game I've seen from a demon in a long time. Without his injury he could have had 45 touches and 30 contested possessions

The one I'd be looking at is Kelly. I still think pace and skills on the outside would be a huge boost. I'd be happy to offer 5-6 years on big money and say if you come to us you'll get money and consistent finals

Crows would pay him good dollars to keep him, so we'd have to pay overs to get him to consider us, how much is he worth?

He has extremes at both ends of the scale some brilliant and some cringe worthy. The good tonight shows why we persist with him

Not sure joe is any chance to leave Essendon even if they offered him $40.00 and a jolly good flogging with bitters every year

I suspect the suns could match anything that we could offer so it's really about his confidence in the suns future, if he wants to leave id go very hard at him

Swans are ultra confident he'll stay.

Ultimately it comes down to the confidence in oscar to develop quickly enough to reach that level. Im not sold on the idea he will even be as good as his brother let along Steven may but the club would know better

Brown would not have been able to mark everything in the air if may were playing! May is 5 times the player oscar is and oscar will be lucky to ever be as good as may is now around the mark of all Aus for the next 8 years, leader

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

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

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 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

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
