Why?

We’ve got PC, Zurhaar and now Spargo. I believe we need to keep playing Trembath and Harvey. We’re trying to develop Duursma and Whitlock. We already have Darling.. Larkey goes without saying.

In what f******* universe do we need to give a 32 year old Mihocek a 3 year deal when our defence is a smouldering wreck? Wtf is wrong with this club?

Not condoning giving him a 3 year deal, but Mihocek doesn’t play like he is 32. I know his career started late, but when I heard how old he was during a game this year, I was actually surprised he was that old. Plays more like he is 28 or so. If that makes sense.

But he isn’t. And as we know, the form cliff can come quickly. Like as a player, but not for us where we are at.

In and of himself, I don’t dislike Mihocek. But someone like that is the last of our needs right now. I’d really like to see Cooper and Trembath get some synergy in that forward line with PC and Bull.
How many small forwards and midfielders do we need? We need to bolster our defence.
 
I’m out. I’m done
I doubt you will be.

I am not sure why you throw out threats like this.

Anyone who is still here after the metric shit tonne of crap we've waded through is incredibly unlikely to leave.

Someone who periodically offers this up even less so IMO.

we are looking at fixing the defence too... not heard! Been sniffing around Sarce, Budarick, Young, Butts to name a few...

Spargo acquisition has zero impact on PC and Bull.... more impact on Harvey, JK, Payne and Branch, the last few games we had to play all 4 as simply ran out of depth, should be playing 2 of these max. Trembath has played a couple of games and whilst impressive still alot of development needed as with Duurs and Whitlock, you can develop through training and VFL aswell! Competitive for places helps development too...

here's a thought, maybe we are still looking at small forwards as not happy with all that we have... they had plenty of exposure over the last mth
 
Small forwards with contracts -
Konstanty
Hansen
Spargo

Small forwards without contracts -
Harvey
Banch
Payne

I’d rather keep the bottom 3 than the top 3, more upside. And it would be lunacy to keep 5 or 6 of them.

They are all fighting for the one spot aren’t they?

Forward locks -
1. Larkey
2. Zurhaar
3. Curtis
4. Darling/Trembath
5. Sheezel/Parker/Powell (resting mids)

Leaves 1 spot? Not to mention Duursma and George are hopefully in the mix too.

I just don’t get the Spargo addition.
 
There's even a school of thought which says that adding a few dickheads to our team might give them a bit more edge and intensity.
Whilst that is true, I think we're aligned on exactly how that looks like in the 2020s and beyond.

In the 90s dickhead could be a bloke who pinches women on the arse at clubs but can play footy.

In more recent times maybe it's the bloke who gets in a few fights or drinks too much in public.

If Fahey is a bloke who says or does a bit too much that contravenes the respect and responsibility type programs the league would run, we're the last club who needs the potential blowback of his actions. Even if some of it is 'victimless'.

Yes, Geelong or Collingwood players could run a side hussle organising sex tours of 3rd world villages and still be celebrated but that's the world we live in.
 
just imagine the fury if we traded for him?
And rightly so coming off the back of the Daniel trade, that's why I'm not losing my shit, he takes up a list spot for 3 years that's it. Hopefully he comes good and contributes us to us winning more games next year, if not he's just another player on the list.

I've posted this before but it bears repeating, it's a very shallow pool we're swimming in we're not going to attract much more than fringe best 22 players until we improve, people need to make peace with that.

personally think there are 2 spots... and the mid rests on the bench...

they will have seen Banch, Payne and Harvey much more than we have, and id say at least one of the 3 will go

I agree with you, Mihocek is a poor mans Zurhaar. He still kicked 36 goals this year and statistically is very similar to Zurhaar, albeit in a much stronger team. I think he plays a lot more physical though, he is more of a battering ram, will hit packs and pressure.

I think we can only afford to play 2 KPFs with Zurhaar being a pseudo third tall, that would be Larkey and Trembath. Darling is kind of in the way now.

Our three smaller forwards are Curtis and Konstanty... plus the Bermuda triangle position where you have Simpkin, Parker, Sheezel, etc rotate through there.

You can't really fill the rotation position without it impacting midfield rotations. Would Miho be better than Konstanty, on the scoreboard absolutely but do we want him being manned up by rebounding defenders.

We just can't front up and play Larkey, Trembath, Zurhaar, Darling and Mihocek, this would be glacial slow. If I was going to pinch a gettable Collingwood forward it would be McCreedy due to his speed and versatility to play different roles.

Brody Mihocek 6'4" tall, kicks goals and applies defensive pressure. Sure he's 32 but still would be a player to have and if 3 years it is then l would do it but l would like to offer 2 years first. However l think he'll stay at the Pies..

If these fringe players are not better (significantly) than what we already have, I’d rather draft kids.

We are just stockpiling dead wood on 3 & 4 year deals.
 
Take it you know this as fact?

It's Kingston Council, definitely not Bayside Council.
What does Council have to do with it? You can live in Bayside (Hampton, Brighton, Black Rock etc) and be 5-10 minutes drive to the St Kilda training centre
