The problem with the concussion argument is the English non decision. Unless paddy absolutely hit day in the head and English absolutely didn’t then you can’t give one player 2 weeks and clear another.

How did the concussion occur, from the hit on the chin or the whiplash of the head!

Agree, why would we make one of our best defenders a mid? Baffling, smacks of trying to fit too many HBF in our team. We keep recruiting too much of the same player. Even Sinclair who can play mid, at least in rotations is an excellent running defender with elite disposal and decision making and goo...

Gawn- Ryder

Jackson - Marshall

McDonald - Hayes

Brown - King

Fritsch - Membrey

Perfect analogy

Dropping hill is like dropping Howard. You can’t, there is no one else to replace them. On occasions they both make mistakes, sometimes they need to be carried but they are the only ones that can give the team I. Hills case, line breaking run and Howard big body defence. Finding the right matchup an...

I saw Joyce differently
For me he was terrible in the first half, way too loose
My thoughts were papers stamped
Maybe I missed something

Drop butler (for bludging out the back) and Higgins (for breaking team rules) Give Owens and Byrnes another game - we have to blood youngsters bring wanganeen-milera in and either Ryder or Sharman. We need forwards. Long has to be cleaner before he gets a game Big risk playing Roma, Ryder and hayes ...

not so bad. a wins a win. good for the youngsters. a couple of injuries. just gives an opportunity for someone else. neither player is crucial to our success. So you think both Billings and Hunter are not crucial. Seriously no idea. Both easily in our top 12 players No way billings top 12 Sorry

What a terrible time to do this, and to make it some sort of member event is even more ridiculous.

A 4pm start you can’t even get school kids to.

They have lost touch.
They could of started it at 5:30 or 6pm and still had plenty of light and the girls could still have trained afterwards.

Pathetic

Good luck to her
Great person and a gun player

Brander is available at 196cm
He could also help up forward

Any no brainer comments on getting talia was associated with his earlier comments that the foot was fine and he was ready to go Of course a medical would have been done To quote I told you so based on medical info now is ridiculous Other than 1 or 2 no one has addressed the issue of Howard relief Ir...

Battle is too small
Basically the same size as highmore and Wilkie who are also too small for the big guys

Rucks always cost more
What did we get for Hickey to west coast?
Stanley to Geelong?

Who else then?
Sam Reid
Jarred Brander
Levi casbolt
All potentially big enough??

Would we accept
2022 st kilda 2nd rounder and 2022 3rd rounder for
Xerri and 2022 north 3rd rounder

Give them a 3rd rounder next year and get their 4th rounder this year? We need more points this year don’t we?

Lucky Hawthorn didn’t jump at shadows when recruiting a 29yo mid from Port with knee injury issues. He went on the play a further 200 games and play in 3 flags and retire as an all time great! Now I’m not saying Talia will be a Shaun Burgoyne Point I’m making is every case is different. You don’t s...

as a Key Defender.

So who then?
I don’t see anyone?

I am fascinated Are there people on here that don’t think we should recruit talia? He would be a no brainer If he doesn’t want to leave Adelaide (find that extremely hard to believe give his comments when first delisted) or has failed a medical then fine Otherwise ask yourselves this, if Howard goe...

Agree with BM it’s a no brainer
Unless he has failed a medical he is exactly what we need
He won’t cost much, we don’t have a stopper in the wings, our back line is unbalanced on key forwards, we need another big
We have list spots, get it done

Get him
No brainer

Ben’s manager really does not like us
Going to make any trade much harder
We should be doing this now at virtually any cost

Our backline was pretty good. The guy can coach. Must have been watching a different team I thought our backline was a dogs breakfast and save for some individual performances from a few it saved our arse too many times The team work was abysmal, the system kicking out atrocious, match ups puzzling...

If he wants to come, you take him. Yes there will be a massive price but we will then have a huge selling point to any potential FA out there. I think they'll use Bing as a swing KPP. He'll start back and only go forward as required. We will potentially have the best forward line in the comp over t...
