100% agree. That's why Hamling was so critical. I'm a big Pearce fan, and thrilled he's strung 2 seasons together, but after him the cupboard is bare for Key Defenders. Draper and Davies are a long way off yet. Dont want to throw those poor kids to the wolves.
Get Bell out first. Hard for JL to do s**t when his list keeps getting gutted.
Your hate boner for Bell, based on some nightime sunglasses, is a sight to behold.
No actually my hate boner for Bell, you know, the guy who handles all player contracts and negotiations, is based on us losing 8 players in the last two seasons.
Doesn't David Walls handle all player contracts and negotiations?
No. Peter Bell is in charge of playing contracts and negotiations. He's the one who decides how much each player is worth. Hence why when every player was asked about their contracts on OBYB or the likes, they would all joke about asking Peter Bell.
Tbh that sounds like it should come under the List Managers role.
Losing players is not great look for a coach.
If we beat those three teams in the first three rounds, there's no way we go on to miss finals
Common Bell is in charge of Walls and would have the final say Hope he goes back to the ABC as he is a dud
Can’t disagree more, our coach is conservative but by the end of the year we were playing some good football, Young moving to the midfield, the emergence of Johnson, Wagner playing the creative HB role while Clark played lockdown (with far more offensive threat than Walker) Amiss and Treacy starting to click, Sturt starting to deliver on all that potential. We literally lost to Brisbane by 3 points while playing Corbett instead of Darcy.
Mate, these types of lists are created by media personalities to get the people talking. I wouldn’t pay attention to it.
He's not right, typical moron Victorian basically making a list of his favourite Victorians with a few token non vics.
Ya hard to imagine Andy Brayshaw is not a top 50 player next year.
Well it's the dead straight opposite of 2012-15. We had quality and depth in the tall defender stocks in McPharlin, Zac Dawson, Michael Johnson and Silvagni.
Yep, true, though i'm not sure I agree about a "good list of tall forwards" more a list with potential. I wouldnt call Jackson a forward - yet, although he may play a lot there. He's not a natural forward and has very hard hands. Lots to learn. I'm a Treacy fan, but still lots of improvement in him too. I'm a Sam Sturt fan as he's a natural forward, but he's only 190cm, so not a hulking tall. Tabs when fit is great but I think he's past it now, can't get his body right, he'll be good depth for us though. I think we have a forward line with potential, but we need to improve a lot. Amiss and Sturt are our only 2 really natural and dependable forwards.
