Exactly. Hes lethal up on the wings pushing back forward. Always think of that Carlton run where he burnt off 2 opponents and then sold candy to another and hit Checkers lace out. Was elite
That was unadulterated brilliance.

But, but, but our exploding salary cap 🥴

How can it be so tight, if we're underpaying everyone?

They seriously apply no critical thinking before tweeting & speaking.
but it gets the clicks, it gets the readers... revenue

id be more critical of the 'readers', as the prior achieve their objectives (cash/employment/relevance)

Pies are a big fan base... and hated by most
 
I can't think of a more disappointing top 5 pick in recent memory. He has not fired a shot. Has played 20 odd games in 2 years as a midfielder/ HF and averages 4 kicks per game, 2.7 HB and .5 tackles. Has struggled to get his own ball
Starting sub in 5 out of 23 games. Gotta put it into context.

Regardless of all this click business being used as an excuse. It's becoming a bit tiresome.

Journo's still do have a responsibility to have some facts & accuracy in their reporting. And when they get it wrong, they should be called out for it.

Currently the father is the best in the family.
The daughter is seeing H Reid I think so she’s probably tracking nicely also..

Re Checkers, I'm not too concerned now that we have retained Elliott and seemingly Hill too.

Checkers has been a magnificent warrior for us, usually drawing the opposition's best defender and still delivering the goods more often than not. But his body is now very banged-up and if its true that the Dees have really offered him a three year deal then he'd be mad to not take it (and I'm glad we seem to be resisting the urge to match).

I'll miss Brody but, realistically, at least one of this year's MMM trio were going to have to be phased out in 2026 for the development of West and Buller. It looks like the Dees may have helped make that decision for us.
Agree with everything you’ve said.
Sad that it’s Checkers who goes. Of the MMMs, he’s the one I would most like to keep.
