Change for the sake of change seems silly, i see no reason to think it would be an obvious improvement.

I think the interchange cap is going to really test the young guys, probably good to know who's going to embrace the challenge and who's gunna sulk

There are a lot of players now who have no reason not to fess up, that haven't, I really don't understand why those players haven't taken deals and blown this wide open yet?

Seems like a situation based around deliberate plausible deniability, no one can say what they took because no one knows but Mr Dank who refuses to even let them talk to him, Don't say anything.. cmon, clearly the only reason they can't say anything is because it may result in someone asking the question.

" Keep quiet about the injections so we can maintain a competitive advantage" if that's not cheating i'm not sure what is.

It begins..

Who cares if he was offered up for trade, i'm sure a bunch of players were bought up during trade week, but Jack is still on our list so fingers crossed for a strong 2016

I think right at this moment these two and probably Michie are on their last legs as AFL players and know it, having said that it's a great sign on where the club is at, 3 seasons ago they were third and fourth in our best and fairest... now they're probably the last two on the list..

they're going up and down the ladder a bit, i just think he probably wants to see if they're going to stay up the top end before commiting, i think the big Vic offers are on their way now though!

I reckon Port see him as their next captain, i think he is just reluctant to sign an extension a couple of years out, much like Jesse.

The thing that excites me most about 2016 is just the upside in some of the players that weren't at their best or missed last year Dom Tyson, imo at his best is a genuine A grader, if he gets back to his best next year it is a huge asset for us. Jack Trengove, if he gets anywhere near his best it's another Angus Brayshaw, and the way he's moving at the moment, i'm optimistic Dean Kent, missed a good chunk, but i seriously rate this bloke, hard and tough, line breaker with genuine speed and knows how to sniff out a goal, genuine point of difference. Christian Petracca, could have a Hogan-like influence if his training form is anything to go off Jack Watts, i know alot won't agree with this, but i thought he had an extremely good patch of footy for a about 7 rounds in 2015 where he was hard, tackling, running hard and looked very much a player, i really think we can see that consistently this year and justify re-signing him. Christian Salem, Kids a gun, a strong pre season and some midfield time and i think this is his year. and then the newbies who all show good signs.

I reckon we will win 10 this year, probably just miss the finals but be right in the mix for the 8 at the pointy end of the year.

Crossy is still in great shape, kind of wish we picked up him as a rookie at least for one more year.

I think Frost is a CHB,

Massive call but... I think petracca could have as big or an even bigger impact than Jesse Hogan did last year! He's our Jake Stringer 2.0

Cross, Dawes, Lumumba, Grimes out Viney, TMAC, Jetta, Vince in sounds handy to me.

The kid can seriously play.

I often wonder where the club would be right now had we sacked CS and not bails after 186, i get that a 186 point loss is impossible to ignore, and he was already under review but i thought we were good for finals the next year, perhaps it's a measure of just how bad Neeld was, or just how broken the club was.

I think after the recruits we've bought into the club, we're definitely a top 18 team.

I'd be stoked if between Hogan, Garlett and Dawes we get 100 goals, i see no reason Hogan and Garlett couldn't both get 50 and Dawes 25-30 if he can stay fit

certainly not suggesting we make him captain anytime soon, but i think the race for next captain after chunk is wide open with the favourites imo being TMAC, Hogan Viney and Brayshaw after Hogan signs his 8 year deal we will have all the time in the world to make him skipper

Given the way the cats attacked the off season top 4 is a par imo, a midfield of Selwood, Danger, Selwood, Duncan, Motlop, Caddy and co kicking to Hawkins and Clark should be hard to stop, especially if Zac Smith gets on the park. I think the dogs fall to between 8-12th Port Rise to between 6-10 Freo fall to between 3-8 MFC anywhere from 8-18 top 4 imo will be Hawks Eagles Swans Cats

I see jake as a flash player, every now and then he does something incredible, and then he's very average the rest of the time, he's got some ability, hopefully we can help him reach his potential.

He's going to cop 2-3 opponents per game until either Dawes starts taking marks or Weiderman comes on.

Let's be honest, if this were Jayden Hunt and not Dustin Martin he's already be cut from the list, Violence against a woman cannot be tolerated and i see a 12 month ban as the minimum punishment for this.
