Assume we now are highly unlikely to play the Dockers on the GC. MOVE TO THE NT - games hosted in Alice Springs and Darwin

And promoting coal mining through Adani and big Clive. Ridiculously supporting burning fossil fuels !! They just need to have Vic team fly in and fly out same day with compulsory testing for each day for 3 days and prior to game

Quarantine clubs in NT. now !!!! AFL needs to keep the game alive

Ok. Just got the news and threads updates

Who are we playing? When ? Why? How? It’s crazy.

Let’s move to the NT. Let’s get a crowd. Come on Gil. I know you love Danger, Sel, Dusty and Nat, but show some love to the Dees. Round 8 Dees v Kangas (Darwin) Round 9 Dees v Saints (Alice Springs)

Cats - they were terrible Demons - we were worse

In. “Connection forward of centre”, “Connection inside our forward 50”. every week now, Goodwin laments this as our key problem. Simply adding this will shoot out game back to 2018 apparently!! forget the individual moves of Anb, Lockhart, Hunt, McDonald etc etc btw Weideman needs to play. Is he or could he be ? That’s would we need answered

Whilst patience with Vandenburg is stretching, he needs this year to get his body right. He was ok today and needs a few more matches. Though agree he’s only the last chance saloon. Fingers crossed.

I’m still struggling to give votes. I feel like there was plenty of poor efforts and disappointing day once again. Gawn, Viney, Hibberd, Brayshaw and May were okay.

Agree. Need a forward coach. NOT GREG STAFFORD. FFS. FFS. FFS.

Yes agree. He is a good player and I think can be used more across half back.

Joel Smith amongst the 18 passengers today. I can only see 3 or 4 blokes who care about the game and the club. The rest are plodders today.

Tomlinson is no wingman. Never was or will be. Try him at CHB imo. Free up lever

No idea. He’s been poor again today

Yes. It was a risk at the time and now looks like a poor decision

Again. He’s struggling ! Anyone got Roos phone number

Ok. He’s an option. Good aggression too.

Welcome aboard.

I watched the Crows match earlier. Himmelberg needs a lot of development. Still not agile enough. Big but inactive type.

It’s so obvious. You need two marking targets at least !!!

About all his done all year

Yes and yes

With the covid 19 tight financial impact, I think AFL lists would be cut to 40 by start of 2021 (37 + 3 rookies) Gawn (c) Viney (VC) Oliver. Petracca. May. Harmes. Brayshaw. Melksham. Fritsch. Jetta. Lever. Langdon. Tomlinson. Salem. Tmcd. Preuss Hannan Hore Hunt Lockhart Injury queries - 2020 a must year - J.Smith# Vandenburg# Bennell# Developing - Petty Sparrow Bedford Jackson Pickett Rivers Jordan Nietschke (r) Hold onto (but need to show more) - Weideman omcd Hibberd Brown (35) trade - ANB likely retire - Jones Likely delist. KK. Dunkley Spargo. Cwagner. Baker JWagner. Chandler. Bradtke Add 5 more (3 main list + 2 rookies)

Apologies to all. I was only raising this thread to highlight Darcy Tucker as the type of player we need. Tough. Elite skills. Good pace. Salem hasn’t quite developed into a midfielder nor the Birchall-Houli-type quarterback halfback. I really do hope Salem steps up as our half back this year as he is reaching 24 now (25 soon) and should be at his prime years. By the way, I’m keeping Brayshaw,Harmes, Viney, Preuss. Etc.
