And one premiership in your history is a fact. Swans will pump you in the GF.

Enjoy using that one for the next 3 days.

I'd place Brownlow votes marginally ahead of CD ranking points then super coach points. But interesting for looking at midfielders potential to be in the best three on the ground.

Interesting Koby's Brownlow votes has him 5th for our club out of the 14* players who polled. People might be underselling Koby's value IMO.

*not sure if Jong polled any votes...

Everyone has said that Koby has a pretty high ceiling, the thing is that he's way too inconsistent and his bad games are absolutely dreadful and hurt us more than a bad Jong game does.

 

[go you pups]

Polled 6 Brownlow votes and was 2nd best in the VFL GF so teams know Koby is talented enough.

If rumours are true and there are multiple teams after him, perhaps that gets him up to a late 2nd rounder.

Koby was awful imo in the VFL GF

Turnover merchant, just blazes away time and time again

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Stevens only worth a 3rd rounder surely.

6 Brownlow votes!
Somebody just remember to tell Jason McCartney that when the wheeling and dealing is on.

I agree Koby is inconsistent. However nothing Koby has served up has matched Jong's St Kilda game for shite IMO.

If we could get better than P30 for either or both I'd be pumped.

Both are clearly fringe imo with next year Wallis, Murphy and Adams and possibly Williams and Redpath/Cloke ahead of them.

I'd try and keep Jong, I don't see koby, honeychurch or hrovat being in our best 22 best year, Jongy is on the cusp.

See Lobbe wants out of Port now. A bullet dodged last year.

It's actually not. We've won ten (hopefully 11) senior flags. If you can count your premierships from the 1900s so can we.
Now **** off with your petty bullshit.

That's cruel and unusual punishment to send someone off to the Norfies, no one deserves that

Do you thinks it's better working with Macca at Casey OR joining North?

In the words of Libba on This or That, "[long pause] uh [another pause] I'll say Macca."

Koby has already reached his peak. Jong's best is still well ahead of him. Hrovat just needs a clean run at it.

Stewart from GWS - can he play football?

Would be a good pick up I reckon, but appears to be in demand.

All we need now is a specialist kicking coach.

So disappointing watching tory dickson and Chris maple spending 15 minutes with dunkley working on his goal kicking.

Hawks have a specialist kicking coach/bio mechanist, and no wonder their goal kicking is the best.

They did go out to recruit good kicks though, while we dont particularly.

Agree we are well placed. But since you asked for a cold shower....IMO much of our success this year is based on incredible intensity and running. Should that drop off we could fall back to the pack as our list is possible underweight in good talls and skilled kicks. Especially compared to teams like GWS, GC, crows, Sydney,and WC.

 

[BrunswickDog]

I get that, but imo our players shouldn't be the ones doing the skills teaching on the fly at training, particularly something as important and technical as kicking. Get a specialist.

Imagine how much more dangerous we would be if we raised our conversion % but 10%.

No thanks
