Yep, that was the only good thing about it - the extra bye. -
Here's The Age's out-of-contract players list with a bit of trade speculation thrown in: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/who-s-going-who-s-staying-a-club-by-club-guide-to-the-afl-trade-period-20240902-p5k78h.html Looking through the list, I wouldn't mind a look at Tom Emmett (Freo) - high-pressure small fwd and Lachie MacAndrew to fill the glaring hole in our list. James Peatling is at the top of my list.

It's not 'likely' - it's your opinion. The two are very different

I thought the council had bugger all say in this, which is why they've cracked it. I don't think it's specifically directed at us, rather that they aren't part of the process and calling the shots.

I'd love PJ to do an external review. He's one of only two at the Dee's (admin) that I've had full faith in. He's so strong on good governance - it's exactly what we need. But, keep in mind he's retired, so you can put a line through him for Pert's job. I'm more than happy for him to replace Roffey though if he didn't do the review!

It would be the same as signing up Ben Brown for another year. No thanks

I imagine it'll be high-impact and careless, even though Kozzie wasn't careless - Moore was!

Peatling would be a great get for the club. In all the games I've seen him (not too many), he's shown speed and Viney-esque levels of intensity and desperation (IMO) amongst other qualities, but they both stood out and it's what we lack.

Fixed!

That's wrong - we have a 1st, a 2nd, two 3rds and a 4th

That's a new one for me (bolded) and an entirely appropriate response to the Lynch suggestion.

If it prolongs his career, I'm all for it when the time comes, which I suspect will be at the end of this year or next. While I think he loves the captaincy and suspect it's less of a burden on him than other AFL captains, I'd enjoy him playing without having to toe the line quite so much as Little Goffy mentions above. He certainly is a ripping individual. I agree with @Pirlo in choosing the captain and I suspect if the players vote for the less favoured candidate, the results might be massaged (eg. coaches get ten votes each).

FFS would people stop giving Tom Morris a jot of airtime? The guy just makes up [censored] and is unethical.

Unless Verrall's grown, I don't think we have another 200cm+ player other than KFW. I think he's 198 or 199cm which may be splitting hairs but IMO, Verrall's not particularly mobile for his height. He seems to lumber around a lot so unless he becomes more agile/mobile, he's probably not a KPP.

I'm not averse to giving Jeffo a go. He's a very smart player and, with a lift in intensity and fitness, could be a very good player in time. The other bonus would be shutting up Fence and his Jeffo fixation for a week. Having said that, while Port's defence might be better suited to him, they're still going to take one look at Jeffo vision and ragdoll him then run off him all game. It's just a matter of how much he would gain from the experience this year versus next. I'd also like to see Sestan at this level. He certainly has the skillset but his fitness is way off so it would have to be as sub, (with a prayer he wouldn't be required for more than half a game). He's had two seasons to get his fitness up but still goes missing at Casey more often than not, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it if that's where he stays.
