I'd play him as a midfielder

That is the Long we wanted to see, that we need to see. Too often he spoils his game by being a loose cannon. Tonight he was disciplined, while still be hard at it. Also to his disposal tally one can add a number of deft taps to team mates. Long was a "thinker" tonight, and that bodes wel...

Also... was Ben Long not outstanding today?

Webster has lost his mojo, and his time is up.

B Paton is a gun

Sinclair should be part of the midfield rotations

And we MUST play Leo Connolly

LEO CONNOLLY...

Feel for Clav, so many injury setbacks, but was nowhere near the level required to be a defender in a top 6 AFL team. Wish him all the best, but I'll be amazed if he ends up at another AFL club. Seems just another draftee that has to produce his very best to get a game at AFL level, but that's as f...

WAIT.... STK has offered Ross a contract? Bad move, really bad move. We need to move him on, with no comparable contract to stay... let the dude go and have a great career with GCS withy Luke Dunstan, and just take the compensation Why are we offering these guys contracts at all - why do we want him...

Well... someone has to go big....


16 weeks

Must be wondering what he has to do to get a senior coaching gig... all past evidence suggests those who make those decisions don't rate him. Who'd like to see him back at the club coaching the VFL side or in a development role? I personally rate him in development: teaching work ethic and skill to ...

Yeah... I kinda agree. He remains a player with a lot of unfulfilled potential... personally, I like him down back.

I'd recruit Parker in a heartbeat... but not for good money

They keep topping their list up with free agents every year. I think that we'll may run dry for them and they have 10 players who are 30+. Surely it's coming to an end. Yep. They're finished. Had a good run though I don't think there finished just yet but in 2 years it will be a massive rebuild if ...

He's just a kid who had an awful year. He's not alone in that, but his and H Clark's form in 2020 was part of the reason for our 2020 ascendancy. I think he's a potential gun in the making who had an awful year. Where does he play? To me he is potentially a revolutionary defender. Not quite Lever, n...

I don’t think there’s much wrong with the list, if you want to be a 6th to 10 team High as sixth if a good run with injuries, down to tenth if not To be a contender, there needs to be some turn over We need to be aggressive Would love is to go hard at B King, McAsey, Chol, Narkle and M Crouch Let g...

Standing in the hole and getting smashed into week after week has him second guessing.
He is not a player that thrives on the physical stuff.

I hope he can respond

That's quite a good insight. Perhaps that's been his problem in 2021.

Clark would be arguably our best player if he got 30 touches a week. But he doesn't. And he needs to if we're to challenge. Agreed on Coffield. I wonder if this year his role was confused. There are times it seemed he didn't really know what his place was in the side this year, and perhaps he lost c...

How old is Gresh?

Disappointing year but if the goal is a premiership in the next 3 years , what are the positives we can take from 2021? My half dozen are: 1. Sinclair has stepped up and plays that superfit Caleb Daniels role well. 2. Crouch has slotted in and is a ball magnet, clearance and tackling mid we needed ...

I think you use at least your first pick in the draft for best available talent; and try trading players for those players of need. Worth remembering though that we do have those players of need on our list, if they can stand up to the rigours: Carlisle/Frawley, Marshall (as a permanent forward) and...
