Re: Zaine Cordy? Really?
Good move by the club. Lack of a functioning spine - particularly up forward - cost us dearly last season. Cordy will be able to play a role, at least structurally. We cannot let Max King be mauled by three defenders every time we go forward ever again. If that means Hayes plays forward or Battle, ...

Re: Zaine Cordy? Really?
My issue as always. What does our next Premiership team look like? The cost is in opportunity for salary and position on the list. At 25 he is at his best. It is unlikely there is much upside and he would have had plenty of opportunity at Bulldogs. Hopefully the Saints have worked out who they are ...

Re: Zaine Cordy? Really?
4 cm taller than Wilkie - 4 cm shorter than Howard We cried blue murder when we did not have Howard to stop the taller players - who do you suggest we pick up for no draft picks? Great point. I was hoping we could have lured Ratagulia as a defender but dealing with Geelong and weakening our hand at...

Re: Looking forward to 2023?
Total lacks of forensics here:
King & Higgins get goal-kicking right? we win 2 extra games in 2021 - play finals, and 2022 - play finals.
Next step is younger player improvement:
Clark, Coffield, Windhager, NWM, Owens, Connolly, Hayes, Sharman
Add pick 9/10
We're a top 8 team in waiting, easy

Re: Bowes
To me
The salary price is too high just to get a top 10 draft pick.
And this absurd 'smoothing' idea to spread his salary over a longer period time, means he's actually been screwed for $$ he was owed in his first two yrs.
We don't wanna go down this path.

Re: Quiet as a mouse...
The fact that everything from inside the club is not being run out in the media is a good thing. It suggests that the club are not leaking news like they have in the past. We will have 5 list spots vacant before the trade period so we should expect movement. We are not going to fill all the list sp...

Re: Long Wants Out
GC have pick 7 & 25 currently They will get alot for Rankine when he goes, maybe a first and second? I think we should demand their lowest 2nd rounder as a minimum. If Clark is going too, and hopefully he isn't, we'd probably do better to trade him to GC than North and get one of their FRDPs an...

Bench/midfield... same thing. 3 mids on the bench + 1 ruck 2 rucks are Campbell & Marshall. I think we wont and should go for any more prized recruits. Keep with the draft and bring picks under 30 - I'll be happy with that. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A POSAITIBVE POST: NWM, Bytel, Windhager, Owens ...

RATAGULIA
Anyone one keeping an eye on this?\
Big body, playing in defence in the two's. can pinch hit in the ruck.
I reckon we go for him as a big defender.
Thoughts?

Re: Leo Connolly
Ratten values foot skills, so it was odd that Connolly didn't get a run. Jake Batchelor's input into selection was surely a factor. I agree. If players have elite capabilities, in this case foot skills, then those qualities should be exploited rather than focussing on the negatives. The coach was h...

Rumblings that Gallagher might not survive the review. Surprised me but rumour is the players don’t like him. Targeting NWM who wants to go home in his first year and Brad Hill recruiting doesn’t help. Must be useless..??? Anyone else shed some light..? I doubt very much the "rumblings" a...
