I was at a function and sitting near both Roffey and Pert during both finals matches. I was amazed on how calm they remained during both matches. Me on the other hand….. 😡🤦🏻

I agree with this. My nephew is also hoping to be drafted. So, I know his family are probably watching Duursma’s performances with a glass half full lense. However, I’d hate for us to pick him with our first rounder and it turns out that they’re right and he isn’t that good.

Interesting you say this, I caught up with my family yesterday - my nephew plays with Duursma at Gippsland Power. I asked them what they think of him and where he should land. They said the same thing. They said he can take great marks and can do amazing passages of play, but he can butcher it and goes missing. They are a little shocked that he is in consideration for a top 5 pick.

I don’t know if he is a member, but he is a VERY keen supporter.

I haven’t posted for a long time, and mostly read for news. Particularly, trade news. But this, I can categorically say he is. In my view, the fact that he heard this matter makes me as sick as the actual incident.

I love Jack and would want nothing more than to see him back in the team. However, I was at Port for the Casey game. He played off the half back line and was ordinary. Admittedly, it was a bad day for the whole team. But, his pace and skills resulted in many turnovers. I think Maynard will get a run before Trenners. He is tough, and did not look out of place at all.

I like the team. However, I am somewhat worried about the disposals of 3 of our backline under pressure - Mc brothers and Smith. The game at Etihad and against the Saints is so quick, a turnover results in a goal very quickly. I'd prefer if Smith had more of a run in the VFL beforehand. Unfortunately, given our injuries, I don't think we have too many options than to give Smith a run. I just hope his disposals are better than they were against the Dogs.

Doesn't matter, Saints won't get it past our mids!

Thanks for posting GT. Interesting read and comparisons. I still remember Terry Wallace around 3 years ago on SEN comparing Melbourne and Doggies list. He said that we had better team depth and that we'd win a flag before them.....

"I'm sorry mate, it's not you, it's me"

This is exactly what I heard also....it's sad given he was the VC the season beforehand.

Hahahahaha, you're funny!

Obviously Hawks are extremely confident on his knee. The kid will be a gun, if he can get it right. I agree with you, I wish no pain on the kid, but for Hawks......completely different.

Sooo bad! I know I tell bad dad jokes, but that's a shocker

No
