Let’s just wait and see how he goes at Melbourne

My guess, injury free he does well, and I’m predicting they finish top 4

Melbourne will not make finals this year.

Nah, he is hopeless. He can't bowl a wrong'un.

Have we not learned from the fiasco a decade ago

Just because we stuffed it up a decade ago means nothing.

B.M wrote: ↑Thu 04 Jan 2024 10:12am That’s not great reading

Actually that is great reading IMHO. It just proves that our strength is playing as a team and not individual brilliance.

A champion team will always beat a team of champions.

I doubt that RL will be tell us anything that is useful as it'll get into the media and therefore get back to the playing group and the opposition, but it's a good topic and I image what has already been stated in this thread so far are on the minds of us all, besides although there will already be...

The biggest question is will our midfield be able to match it consistently with others. Let's face it, it's been our biggest issue for a decade. In 2023 it was the reason we lost games. There were quarters in games where we were obliterated at the stoppages and the opposition scored heavily from th...

2021 - 27 goals 2022 - 30 goals +10% 2023 - 36 goals + 20% 2024 - 48 goals + 30% I'd be impressed if he can continue his current projection. Like to see his conversion of opportunities %. Seems a bit wasteful to me, just observing, and his opponents get plenty of clearances. But this could be my bi...

Such a great response on so many levels...

It’s a lack of cattle imho . How many of our forward line would get a starting gig at a top 4 team ? King , and perhaps Mitchito ? We desperately need a 2nd tall. Jack Hayes is all heart and will keep presenting but he is a short term solution at best. Membrey our 3rd tall who plays as the 2nd tall...

Caminiti in defence Why? We are actually lighter on up forward Howard Wilkie Battle Cordy Van Es Schoenmaker Howard, Wilkie and Battle I will give a tick. Cordy is not good enough. Van Es and Schoenmaker haven't even played 1 game of VFL let alone AFL so we have no idea whether they are good enough.

So if we don't manufacture extra FRDP's then how do we catch up to GWS? We could nail all our draft picks for the next 3 years but still not catch GWS. They have a plethora of FRDP's compared to us. We should be converting one oldie every year into top 15 DRP's plus change. Next year I would use Ste...

Hi everyone, As it’s a bit of a slow time in the year as far as football talk goes, it’s a good opportunity now for a bit of a retrospective. I’ve been a mod for about 3-4 months and there’s a general developing style to how I’m going about this and it has been a really interesting learning curve. ...

No offence BR but you are taking the pi55 surely?

Very. Check out my "Electric Dreams" post. Hopefully that gets the juices flowing...

Both, but Innovation is good Invention is great I think both options applied to the off field side of building the club is where we could most benefit and turn towards becoming a power club. The few percent difference between top 4 and bottom 8 is bridged with cash. The boards performance in this a...

This year we got one by allowing Greh to leave via FA. I want another one again in 2024 so we can keep adding young guns to our core group. Should we trade out a player that has currency or do we bring a future pick into the equation? A star FA would be good too but whoever that was would be 26 yea...

Probably best to wait, so other teams can have a look at him?!

I wouldn't mind that. If he did decide to leave then we would demand one pick in the top 5 and a another pick in the top 10. No player is bigger than the club!
