Okay, that's interesting in regards to Van Es. Certainly is a large unit. Hopefully we get a good look at him during the practice matches.

Thanks for the info everyone. Much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all doing well. Thanks for these updates. Bloody great stuff.

Has anyone seen much of Van Es yet? Keen to hear how he's progressing, given our neverending need for another key back.

Happy new year to you all

We have a B grade list. Workmanlike. 1 elite player in Steele I doubt any coach takes us to finals in the first year. And the holy grail is to be at least 4 years away and that requires everything going right from a draft, trade and development perspective This is nowhere near the list Lyon got in ...

Not completely sold on Ross' return but one thing he will bring is some defined clarity for a lot of our players. We've got so many blokes who don't even know where their best position is yet. Clark, Coffield, Sharman, Billings, Hill, Gresham. They'll all benefit from a coach who can give them some ...

Fairly solid article apart from where he says Nathan Brown was a successful recruit. Yikes.

How do you make a correct decision look so wrong? It's almost art, this mess.

That was a shambolic press conference. So many mixed messages. Lethlean saying our list should be achieving more but Gags saying recently that we don't have the cattle. And why would they make Ratts virtually reapply for the job this week when he was already coach? An absolute mess. Lethlean and Bas...

Even the Higgins trade in 2020, yes Jack could still be a player, but the pick we traded landed Max Holmes. I know who I'd rather. right. Interesting point. Saints: Higgins & Allison 2020 Points toward academy players in 2021 Traded picks: Max Holes & Judson Clarke drafted It all gets down ...

Yep, ludicrous that we're not putting ourselves forward for this. Fringe player or not, Bowes and Pick 7 for Long and a later pick is solid gold trading.

Fuming.

It's definitely nuffy season but I do find it strange that Horne-Francis hasn't nominated the Crows or Port yet. Also, the fact we're letting Hunter go while still under contract is pretty bizarre. Something is afoot, though it could just be our famous incompetence.

Ok. Look at the Cats back six. Look at our fwd line. Tell me honestly you really think anyone could coach us to more than 10 goals. You could do a similar comparison on every line. Add in home game and minor premiership on offer that's an expected result. Name calling the President and denigrating ...

The side we put out last night wasn't 45 points worse than Geelong's. I'm not buying any talk that says they had a classier team playing last night. This comes down to leadership, pure and simple. As soon as any side begins shifting out defence from side to side, we leak goals like a sieve. Not enou...

Haha, posted the same Wilkie response at the same time. Great minds think alike

Cal Wilkie tracking to be one of the great value recruits

Painful to watch, on so many levels. Far out

Spot on. Good call.

Love having a player like Tommy in the team. Hope he get's more opportunities. Well done to the midfield for doing all they could to prevent clean delivery to the Carlton forwards Just on another subject...Hope they don't treat Highmore like Long (or like Ryder). Both would have been crucified for ...

Thought he was great when he got his chance. Composed, threw himself at the contest. Happy for the kid.

I see this pattern so often Young player X comes in and looks promising Easily dropped, erratic opportunity Gets selected in a big game - onus for them to perform or they will be dropped Entire team plays poor and he along with others crumble under pressure Dropped and written off One can’t make go...

Freo did what we did in the second half against the dees, only they did it better. Use your legs and get run from behind. Use the corridor whenever possible and make their defenders defend one on one. Crucial thing was to get on top around the stoppages. Petracca had an absolute stinker. So that def...

The way North is in the media at the moment, we'd wanna be on our game. That's all I know. No easy kills in league footy, especially when the opposition has its back against the wall.
