Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
You can't throw 23 players under 50 games at the same time in the AFL. They will flounder, fail to develop, and you will need another rebuild. What you need is a group of senior players who are good enough at the game, but more importantly can mentor the young players on the field. "Those who c...

Re: Liam Henry
NWM is at half back.
Henry will be an outside mid who sometimes plays on the wing.

Re: Changes for Dees game
With our injury list at a minimum we need to be rotating the kids through.
Keeler, Hotton, Allison, McLennan, Heath - should each get a block of 3 games over the next 10.
Collard and Hastie 2 games over the next 10
Pou a block in the VFL, potentially Wilson pending form.

Re: Pick 3 in the draft
Not a bad outcome.
If we're not fighting for premierships we should be fighting for draft picks.

Re: Bonner to Hill, Freo goal
Can't build a premiership side around a 30+ year old.
Hill's benefit is his mentorship and on field coaching.

Hope is not a strategy. We need change in action to turn this bus around.

Re: Ye old Cordy
Adds an offensive side to his game when Howard is there and he can trust him to defend. When Cordy is FB then he needs to play more defensively.
Might just be chemistry but the difference at the start of this year was very visible.

Re: Ye old Cordy
Feels like I'm a broken record but Wilkie plays AA standard with Howard in the team, and a fringe player with Cordy.

Re: The Blame game
It's a bit of the chicken or egg scenario with Sharman. He's been no good up forward so we've moved him up the ground to work defensively, so he's been no good up forward. IMO his best work this year has been behind the ball. Expected to step up when King was absent (3 games this year) and didn't. T...

Re: Sack Lyon
The 'reasoning' for the list going backwards this year was partially explained. Last year was "have our best crack with what we've got, see what our ceiling is". This is year is "play the way we want to win our next premiership, even if we don't have the skill level for it. Prioritise...

Re: Zebras v Tigers
Does Allison get a game ahead of Sharman on that effort?
You'd think we want to give him a chance this season to earn himself a contract extension.
Hotton in a similar boat.

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
If it's a hard rebuid then we must delist players like Membrey, Ross, Cordy, Webster and Jones at years end.

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
Devils Advocate again Maybe we win 2-3 more games for the year. Worst case scenario sees us finish 16th. More probable is 15th. Yes...that gets us pick 4 or pick 5...but Instead of the talk about who St Kilda might bring in, could our poor performances herald an exodus of our best players? Suppose ...

Re: The Blame game
The same list didn't have these talent issues sitting top 4 last year.
Building a premiership side is often like turning the titanic, but poor Ross seems to be steering it towards a bigger iceberg.

Re: Are happy with Euro-Yuroke name change
I'm more worried about an inept performance than a token temporary name change. It's along the same lines as those precious about jumpers. Prison bars anyone?
