Exactly. Dumb footballers. Dumb coach

Bombers goals from turnovers oliver ? OVERHANDBALLING ???? Frittta ??and Spargo ?misses We are shizzzzzzzn and dumb get it right and we win !!!

Fritsch. Miss from 15 metres!!!

I think Jonesy wants to play on. ? I think Goody probably thinks he should retire!!

Great work. Great news.

This is their little image for the week They reckon they will beat us - like many clubs, they think we are weak and easybeats -they are stinking it up over Hooker being out - they want to win it for woosha bunch of morons Dees have to win this one no natter what happens with Dogs Really hate the f&$$)(!?!$&(*^*%n bummers

Dees Brayshaw ? Jones ? Bombers Mcgrath ? Fantasia ? Heppell ? Apart from these blokes, both teams have probably best part of best 22 available. I think we left Sparrow Harmes Jackson out due to maintaining winning team

Sunny and windy here on the GC. Light shower last night but should be ok for today. Dees will have to learn how to play in the wind. Dogs and Swans games showed we play dumb footy in windy conditions. ?

He played last night v the Saints although tough night for the giants. 16 possessions. Looked comfortable and his pace and skills were certainly up to it. I’m still looking at Cumming as an option for the small defender role. It appears Lockhart must have scratched Goodys car because he’s seemingly out of favour with the coach.

Sorry no luck with this

Wtf. Need to nail those

Tipungwati - he seems to be our danger man. I’d preferred Lockhart in but we will have to use Hibberd or Salem. Maybe even Hunt could be an option.

Yes we need the Weid and Pickett to nail 3 or more each this week. They need to fire.

Marley Williams. There must be some issue. He looks okay and fits one of our needs. Small defender. Tough player. Good pace and long left foot kick. He was very good at the Pies and shifted to North. He was supposedly in a good space with Rhys Shaw as coach as he had a good bond from the Filthy pies connection.

He signed with the Suns through to the end of 2023. Had an excellent 2019. I’m not sure why he would be out of the Suns line up. I think Anderson may have taken his wing role. When I’ve seen him play, he has had good run and skills and good composure. I’d be willing to talk if the Suns were putting him up.

Agree

Maybe they should have 28 teams and have a random draw with the top 8 teams competing via two conferences. Simples. ?

I think I am struggling to see where he fits in. I definitely don’t think Spargo can be a small defender. He is too slight and his tackling is below average. Midfield? No to a slight maybe. His footy IQ is good but generally his output is not great. That’s why he also slipped down in the draft year and his shoulder issue. I can’t see him being a rover and in the centre clearances action. So he’s a small forward. He is not a Pickett type intensity forward but does have the smarts. His kicking for goal has improved (he now can kick over 35 metres). Whether we can play him and Pickett together is a puzzle. Unfortunately Charlie’s very best is just AFL standard and he’s another who may be destined to be stuck, as not quite AFL standard but better than a next level down.

Jack Gunston. 207 games. 394 goals. 3x Premiership player. 2018 All Australian. 27 goals this year in a team placed 16th. He would walk into our side as the best forward option. No argument. Will be 29 at start of 2021. I’d offer him a 4-year deal no question. He would easily be a 40+ goalkicker in a regular season. I can’t see why offering Hawks a future 2nd rounder 2021 pick is paying overs. I think they might be insulted. He is a very very good player.

Giants: Isaac Cumming 21yo. Running small defender 184cm. 84 kgs. 4 years at Giants but stuck behind Williams and Heath Shaw. With the sun setting on Jetta and Lockhart seemingly not in favour, Dees could grab Cumming. He’d fit really well into our defence. Could even get a shot as a running mid. Good pace. How to get it done ? - Offer a 3 year deal. Giants won’t offer that. Trade options. Swap for Preuss or Swap for Joel Smith. Or trade 3rd round (hopefully acquired for ANB back to Crows).

Saad for Tom McDonald, future 2nd round and ... I’ll even throw in Oscar “steak knives” McDonald

Yes is it so the coaches don’t cheat a little and sneak in a vote for their man !

Clearly not as agile as 2018. He’s slower and turns like the titanic. Marking not quite one grab. He might have a big preseason but we need to consider other options for 2021 and beyond.

Aim for Gunston in exchange for a future 2nd round. He would add a lot to our firepower.
