Very accurate post, we seem to have made an art form out of mediocrity

The premiers are a destination club and a bit smarter than us which explains their earlier pick. I’ll be more pissed off if or when they get an easier fixture than us for 2023.

Doubt Narkle would be a good pick up Saint Bob, in any case I think he is a delisted free agent and would not cost a draft pick

Your correct Banger Gags and his moterly crew will do nothing and attempt to justify that.

Most likely his mother has realised what a Mickey Mouse organisation the Saints are and advised him to go elsewhere

Think we will slip down a few places on the ladder. Not that our on field performance will change much but the teams that finished below us will improve. It’s hard to see us improving as we have missed out on De Goey, Amon and pulled out of the race for the Bowes deal. Appears our recruiting people ...

Probably at least the equal on Daniher but maybe shaded by Lynch, Hawkins, Franklin, Cameron, brother Ben, Wright and Naughton, if he could learn to lead and kick he could round a few of them up

Head may punchable but probably not as empty as that of Gags and the rest of our administration

It’s all a bit academic, even if we took the Bowes deal our clowns would only have one more first round draft pick to stuff up.

Hill put in the short steps at the finish, Jack Peris would have been a better option

Probably not but he comes with pick 7 which may get someone that is

We have got to have a win on any deals, forget De Goey, take Bose and pick 7 from GCS picking up his payments, Long to GCS for a second round pick in separate deal, Hill to North for late 1st or early 2nd round pick but no ongoing payments. If Hill deal stalls only then look at moving Clark out on a...

Currently our best option at CHB, Lion’s Darcy Gardiner is free agent and a little taller and may want to come back to Victoria. Adams does not look all that promising so we really need to find a tall defender as Battle is not tall enough for the monster forwards. I believe we would have taken Gibus...

Bigger worry than Long wanting out is that as yet nobody wants in

Fact is B.M we don’t have many good players to get rid of, the names being bandied around like Hill, Clark, Bytel, Long and Gresham are all average players that play the occasional good game.

At present it appears that going to the draft might be are only chance to find quality players as we appear to be at the bottom of the heap as a destination club with hapless North and that rabble Essendon more likely to be nominated. Not even Amon’s mother could sway him to nominate the Saints but ...

Doubt we would get a FRDP, overrated by a lot of supporters, does have much needed pace and certainly has a dip but decision making and disposal are below standard in a side that already has its share of ball butchers

Bytel probably will make it but most likely at the injectors, especially if Jimmy the jabber comes back the syringes will certainly be out

Any chance he can play at full forward

Injuries have taken a toll on him his decision making and skills are good but with never have any pace. Windy and Owens are probably ahead of him and Coffield is potentially a better defender.

Think we might have found the tall key defender we need in King certainly never likely to be a good forward can start at CHB next week preferably at Sandy. Sharman to full forward might not get as many shots but will kick more goals

King will cost us this game, others giving their all and him wasting it. Time to play him down back as he 8s a liability up forward

Most of them having a crack with the exception of a couple of faint hearts but really just not in the same class on the field or coaches box.

Always a risk recruiting an interstate youngster especially an indigenous boy. Shame because he looks like a player of the future but if we do lose him hopefully it is a valuable lesson for our recruiting staff.

Brings pace but nothing else, poor disposal and decision making that is unlikely to improve actually a poor man’s Gresham
