Can't come back soon enough. The young guys are performing admirably but we're at a disadvantage every week - they're pretty easily dealt with in marking contests too often.

We can cover the loss of an inside mid. Windy comes into the starting 22, Gresh can play a little more in the middle. Marshall, Wilkie and Howard are the ones we really can't afford to lose.

How often would an early draft pick who is getting plenty of senior opportunity not re-sign this far into their contract if they intend to stay? I'd be surprised if he's at the saints next year

Solid defensively, clean user of the footy and has a real physical presence. Not gifted athletically but his spot is safe for now

The Pou was youngest in his draft year A few cms of growth and another 10kg of muscle :shock: :twisted: I was a bit worried that he'd be pushed around by AFL level opposition but then seeing him tower over Dal Santo post-match put it into perspective. He's a long way off being the finished product ...

Looked like an absolute gun in the juniors but for whatever reason it hasn't worked out for him at Carlton. Would give him a one year contract to see what a fresh environment could do for him.

As many others have said it was his best game by far. Great run and endeavour. Some bad clangers but the good outweighed the bad. He's never played with that kind of purpose and drive which seems like a product of Lyon's clear game plan along with his willingness to forgive skill errors as long as t...

Don't want to play anymore who's injured or underdone. So that leaves this team B: Webster, Howard, Wilkie HB: Wangmil, Battle, Sinclair C: Hill, Steele, Wood HF: Higgins, Sharman, Owens F: Butler, Caminiti, Phillipou Foll: Marshall, Crouch, Gresham Int: Bytel, Clark, Cordy, Paton, Stocker (sub) Def...

With Billings out the Poo seems like a lock for round one. Unavailable: King, Hayes, Jones, Billings, McKenzie, Allison, Hotton, Keeler, McLennan B: Paton, Howard, Wilkie HB: Sinclair, Battle, NWM C: Hill, Steele, Wood HF: Gresham, Membrey, Owens F: Higgins, Sharman, Butler Foll: Marshall, Crouch, ...

Why does he need bulk? He plays as a running back/winger I think he has ability, but he’s clearly not there yet Needs to be able to hold his own in defensive situations even if his primary objective is to provide run from half back. I agree that he was quite a long way off last season but by all re...

Most of the injuries above are not soft tissue. There is an element of luck to it. I dont think we have major injury concerns, the only real issue is they all play the same position. Back stress fractures, foot stress fractures and achilles inflammation/flaring up are signs of a workload being too ...

It's a pretty significant concern at this point. Especially since it seems like he's set to become a fixture at half back this season. Has to be a top priority

Seems like a few of the players coming back from injury are picking up different injuries - perhaps being pushed too hard and other parts of the body are compensating for the old injury? Marshall is undoubtedly our most important player for season 2023. Campbell, Hayes and Keeler all with interrupte...

Looks great. Glad that we've moved past horrid designs like the faded apron.

Why are we looking at more mids, we should be searching for a Key Forward, i don't know which tree they grow on but that's the recruiters job. It sucks that King and Hayes will miss the start of the season but overall the stocks on the list are pretty deep Dedicated key forwards: King Membrey Hayes...

NWM in defence is an interesting move. Probably seen as a wingman long term but learning some accountability and defensive skills at half back might be good for his development. That would make room for Hill on a wing for a couple of years. I think NWM can be pretty decent overhead at well - he's fa...

On raw talent alone he could've gone first round. Let's hope he thrives in a professional environment and fulfills his potential, because his highlight reel is absolutely nuts.

I have no idea personally, but an acquaintance in the industry rates these three as follows: 1. TSATAS - said he's top 5 and wont be there for Saints pick, if he was you'd be laughing. Has great pace and does some freakish things. 2. MACKENZIE - said he is a safe bet and has solid 200 game AFL play...

Should be a forward who has occasional bursts through the middle when we want to mix things up. Has the ability to be an AA small forward or a solid midfielder. My preferred round one lineup B: Paton, Howard, Wilkie HB: Coffield, Battle, Sinclair C: Hill, Steele, Billings HF: Higgins, Hayes, Owens F...

When I look at the list I can only identify 7 or 8 players that would be likely to get a game with any of the top 4 sides, which imho suggests the list is poor, others may think differently. (potentially)....in a top 4 side Definite...: Crouch Gresham King Marshall Membrey Sinclair Steele Wilkie Ab...

He improved out of sight during his time with Essendon. Would happily take him for free

When I look at the list I can only identify 7 or 8 players that would be likely to get a game with any of the top 4 sides, which imho suggests the list is poor, others may think differently. That's a fair point but we have a lot of players who certainly have the ability to lift to a point where the...
