Shaun Higgins is the player I was hoping Bryce Gibbs would be for us. 32 years old and still performing to an elite standard

 

[Ozzie]

It is a really good interview... can't believe he'd let Barrett interview him to be honest.

Tex was auditioning for a job with Purple after his playing days are done.

ATM a DMac level will be an improvement.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I'd go Josh Kelly. We haven't had a mid who can hit a ******* target since McLeod and Edwards.

Smith provided some nice assists.

Seed goes ok too.

But agree we need to reduce the bombing forward without looking we witnessed far too often last season.

You overrate Taranto. Like Brad he has the veneer of a contest oriented player but actually gets more of his ball uncontested. And he isn’t a great user of the ball. He is a good player but you can definitely find better.

Hopper for instance is comfortably more influential than Taranto. Wins more contests and uses it better.

Taranto was their best and fairest winner in a grand final year

Does make a good movie too that Quentim Taranto.

Matt Crouch was our best and fairest winner in a grand final year. If you could have taken one 22 year old at that time, would you have picked him?

Taranto is a good player but not going to be the next Dusty.

Not one team captain is tipping us to play finals, along with Carlton, Fremantle and Gold Coast

Sounds about right

 

[Scorpus]

Sounds about right

Yeah it does. Was pretty surprised one captain tipped Sydney and North to make finals, they're no chance IMO

Hope I'm wrong but we will finish bottom 4 and I think Nicks will be on shaky ground at the end of the year. The last trial game was wasted.eg Walker in ruck.

 

[Mego Red]

Yeah, I'd think Adelaide, Essendon, North, Carlton, Freo, Sydney and GCS are all no chance of playing finals.

 

[cleanhands]

Yeah, I'd think Adelaide, Essendon, North, Carlton, Freo, Sydney and GCS are all no chance of playing finals.

Probably only disagree with Essendon

15/17 picked us to make the finals last year...

Unless we get repeat floggings & the wheels completely fall off, Nicks will be coaching next year.

Need to be patient playing the younger guys.

Taranto is a good player but not going to be the next Dusty.

he's certainly a lot better than you described him, including Hopper.

Would a bottom four finish be enough to see Chapman's time come to an end? Or would he see it as justification to stay on and steady the ship?

Whatever works

Top 8 - then he is steering the right course

Bottom 8 - now is not the time to desert the ship

 

[Dudersaurus]

Whatever works

Top 8 - then he is steering the right course

Bottom 8 - now is not the time to desert the ship

So aiming for 9th or 10th then...

nothing to do with him

That's no surprise to anyone is it? And newsflash.... TEN teams won't make the finals.

 

[ams4crows]

Does that mean Rory Sloane himself doesn't believe we're going to make finals or is it besides your own club name 7 other clubs that will make the finals type of deal?

 

[GrommoT]

Question was:

Which seven other clubs do you think can make this year's top eight?
