James Jorden did get a rising sun nomination I think as well and he is still only 23 with potential more opportunity at the saints he could really thrive.

If he is out of contract why not lets be positive he would fit in well and could be a real swing man if needed. He has games under his belt and in our program I really think he would thrive. Lets also look at Chol he wonts out of GC now that Hardwick is back not best of mates he knows what he is lik...

Keep Coffield if we start to either delist our youth and trade some other young guys we will not have a core of players coming through we have plenty of 27+
But not that many 18-23 especially after we delisted Adams,Connolly,Peris,Bytel

If they were really invested in Youth why did they delist Adams,2 year first year injured, Peris had a good season in 2s got positive write up and even played more games the Allison, Mackenzie, Cofield, and same as Hayes. Bytel, was a bit disappointed with he has good hands and was unlucky not to ge...

Trading picks for players didn't work for us 2018-2022 and it won't work now. The Hill and Crouch trades were short term options. We need to go to the draft, trade out players for picks, and put out soft cap into player development. I agree with you about spending more money on player development b...

How about fixing up the academy's for the Vic teams so that we don't have to wait to pick 40 before we can get one of our own players we have developed that would be a start the interstate teams get enough leg up its about time we stood up to the AFL about this.

Bytel, Peris, Adams and Connolly gone. We keep guys like Highmore the turnover king in the VFL McKenzie, hasn't played in over a year, 4 young guys I thought Peris, Adams were doing well in the VFL by all reports from the coaches really hope we get 4 more young guys in and get rid of some of the sp...

chol wonts out of GC he was under Hardwick at Richmond and hardly played reason why he went to GC I here he is desperate to get out so would get him cheap if that's the case why not.

Chol would be handy as a forward to help out king and Sharman with Membery maybe playing more as a high half forward. Chol also can ruck and even play as a KD which he has been doing in the GC seconds. Hollands would be also a good pick up at 21 and only 12 games at GC with there very strong midfiel...

Its not a argument Cordy is so much better in reading the play less turnovers and has a good mark on him. But lets just change the narrative Cordy and Dougal as KPD with battle as a floating defender taking intercept marks could work and would be better against the bigger forwards. Take more pressur...

Source? FWIW, here is my opinion: Gresham - yes, let him go and hope we get a 2nd round pick via free agency. Clark - must keep him. fits our young core profile. Billings- keep him. has no trade value, would be cheap to keep, good depth, let him finish as a 1 club player. Coffield - must keep him. ...

Why do we have a restriction on a NGA when the interstate clubs don't no incentive another situation were we get screwed.
Is the club addressing the problem with the AFL really hope they are.
We get no father sons so this is the only way we can look to get a even break.

I like cooper and has a lot of potential but he needs to know about working hard in AFL He is soft when it comes to tackles we was watching as Caminiti and Poo were all over players and they are kids, Sharman was a spectator he wasn't the only one but talk about bruise free footy. Well he is still i...

How is Sharman still in after last week every time he got close to a contest he would not tackle and couldn't hold his marks.
At least caminiti will tackle and puts in and do some ruck work Sharman is a passenger.

Adams doesn't really have the physique to play as a key back. He's built similarly to Nick Blakey. In fact, he reminds me a lot of a guy who used to play for us in the early 1990s called Tim Elliot, who was a kind of defender/back up ruck. He does some good things, but he has his fair share of howl...

Check out the big O Oscar Adams he has been getting a great write up from batch each week exciting prospect still only 19 and big unit at 198cm Still has a bit to go but will be pushing for a sport next season especially if like I hear clubs are looking at Dougal or a cheaper Battle next season if w...

Call out the big-noters that can't spell!

Ray is big on speling

Ray who?

IMHO, whatever his faults, Howard is very important for our structure down back and until we have an alternative 200cm defender he is always going to play. I thought Battle didn't have a great game (defensively) and I attribute that to us being 1 tall defender short. Jimmy had a nightmare game agai...

well if he does not play who do we have to take Charlie Curnow? Not a great match up for either Battle or Wilkie. Cordy he has played as KPD for over 100 games and this is the exact reason we got him if Dougal or battle go down like last season. He has more size then Battle and is able to read the ...

Nope. Webster was found out a bit by Breust...He was the only forward looking remotely dangerous for them. That would have been Wilkie and Howard would have played on Lewis. Surprised that Cordy didn't go to Lewis and move Wilkie on to Breust. Yes I was think ng the same about Cordy he will have to...

Do we know if Sharman will be ok for next week due to his hammy problem.
If king is back next week with Sharman king will get the no1 defender witch would really help Sharman and Caminiti

Love the hammer he is just such a hard worker with a pre season under his belt he could be anything. Any news On Sharman and if he is ok with the hammy we really need him next week especially if king is back. Also I would move Cordy to his rightful position of KPD now that Dougal is out with Carlton...

If they get Hardwick we might find it hard to lure Bing away but with his form the way it is he might actually get dropped this week

I would trade Battle we have other players who can play his role in Cordy and a few young guys like Adams who is doing well at sandy and is 198cm,and Sharman who I rate more as a forward but can go back. Battle really struggles against the bigger taller players if gets isolated and does not have the...
