[B.M]

He is just a slightly better version of Howard

He was outstanding a few years back, but has been really ordinary the last two seasons

Sags off his man like Dougs

[SunnyErnie]

It’s obvious to me when Dougal gets injured we are in a lot of strife. If Andrews ever becomes available I would ask our top 10 paid players to take a 10% pay cut and the next 10 highest paid players to take a 7.5% pay cut. Then I would make Andrews an offer to good to refuse.

Any chance we could make this happen?

No, not what is needed. As for your ridiculous notion of pay cuts, I’m a bit speechless. How to sew division in a club. Mind numbing stuff Ernie.

You are a fool and a trouble maker HF. Instead of just blindly saying 'not needed' and 'ridiculous notion', how about you tell us why. Actually forget I asked you. I will just place you on my FOE list. All good.

[WellardSaint]

Pros:
Andrews diesn't yell at team-mates
Andrews doesn't usually kick out to opponents
Andrews doesn't lumber like a baby giraffe


Ticks all the boxes for me

You didn’t ask me Ernie, you threw it out there and are now sooking that you don’t get the response you were seeking.

You have no idea how to discuss issues on a fan forum. All you do is shoot people down instead of giving your reasons why you disagree.

How about you apply the same reasoning to yourself Ernie. You gave zero justification as to why we should try to recruit Andrew’s. Did you quote any player statistics, did you make any comment on why he would be better than other players already at the Club? No, not a single justification to this latest thought bubble, but then you have the hide to come at me and criticize me for not providing you any justification for my comments. Perhaps if you applied your own rules to yourself, you would not post so much garbage on here. Think before you type Ernie. As for the name calling, go you hardest, I have dealt with narcissistic people all my life and they are very easy to expose.

[The Fireman]

You’ve already been banned Ernie.

And happy feet is right. You continually post inane crap Stay in the animal enclosure and give us all a break

[saintbob]

Jack Payne is the one I’d be targeting from the Lions, he just seems to be getting better with every game.

[Impatient Sainter]

We need a strong intercepting full back, not another Howard clone. Unfortunately there is not an abundance of them about.

Good point…how about we draft a young key back and develop him!

Doubt young Adams will be a key defender, more a third tall…as impatient sainter alluded to, a physically strong defender is needed, Oscar is very lean with narrow shoulders so doubt he’ll fill out a lot..happy to be proven wrong!!

[Vortex]

We have Joyce, he needs to be given games at AFL level to develop.

Needs to be selected this week and left in the side.

[The_Dud]

No more talls.

We need mids mids mids mids.

Wrong, wrong and wrong.

Mids coming through include Bytel, Byrnes, Owens, Windhager. That's enough for now. This offseason we need another 198+cm key back. Harris Andrews or Ben McKay would be perfect for us. The $64Mill question is though, will they be available?

To be successful in this league you need multiple A-grade mids, and we only have one at the moment, and IMO Bytel and Byrnes aren't looking like they'll reach that level, Owens and Windhager have shown flashes but who knows.

We need to bring in a player/s who's already proved how good they are.

A gun midfield makes the talls at either end look much better. To improve our backline we need to get a better midfield.

Sorry Dud, I don't agree. Now that Howard is injured, if Joyce gets injured as well we will be in a world of hurt. I would not be writing off Bytel and Byrnes just yet. They have both been impacted by Covid and Bytel has also been impacted by injuries. We have enough midfielders already (for the time being). This off season we would be derelict in our duty if we didn't enquire about Harris Andrews and or Ben McKay.

Note. If we didn't have Joyce to come in this week, who would you play on Lobb (207cms)? Battle (193cms), Lienert (195cms), Highmore (193cms) or Wilkie (191cms). And remember, the game against Freo is under the roof at Marvel so no wind and no rain.

I'm glad I'm not part of the selection committee.

Great idea but he has a surname for a first name so no good.

Suggest we ring up Weitering and ask him to come to us for nothing.

He has a surname I can’t support

We are dictated by who is on the market, hence I think you will find this year it will be mids given the amount of free agents & OOC midfielders eg Amon & Taranto. Perhaps like last year we can look at another key position defender later in the draft? I doubt very much Andrews leaves Brisbane & McKay if he was to leave it would be to play with his twin brother.

Plus at some stage we are going to have to look at bringing in another AFL ready ruckman?

I reckon we will be ok with our rucks. Ryder is playing on next year and Heath will be ready to play next year. Plus Hayes will be back as well and Campbell is there also

Did that with Oscar Adams who is injured right now was playing ok at sandy

[B.M]

Saw Oscar Adams a few times

He is the player furtherest away from VFL standard (let alone AFL) and that includes Allison and Heath.

He is built like a twig and can’t really run.

Gets two years on the list to show a bit.

Allison was a mistake - he is poor
