    Preview R5: Changes vs. Carlton

    Against Freo he had 32 ruck contests and a grand total of ZERO hitouts to advantage. We are 100% better off keeping Maley (or Turray when fit) and going with an extra runner as the 5th bench option.

    Preview R5: Changes vs. Carlton

    Has Kelly ever had an interview where he HASN'T come off as woefully out of his depth. Legit question.

    Unfortunately the same people that just gave him a 1yr extension for no reason.

    Yep my bad, had forgotten about that. Would make the trade again for what it’s worth.

    How we getting anything close to the draft haul Gold Coast gave them? Meanwhile we gave up zero draft collateral for ANB and Ah Chee.

    Review R3: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Geelong Cats

    Keays runs all day but he's not up there with the league leaders for tackles inside 50 (or close really, despite being our best), nor does he have the explosive type speed to really put defenders under pressure.

    Review R3: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Geelong Cats

    We could really use a small forward with elite speed and defensive pressure. We had 4 tackles inside 50 tonight compared to 25 for Geelong. Whilst this was partly down to the inside 50 disparity (-22), it's a consistent theme across the 3 games so far (we avg 7 tackles inside 50 while our oppo...

    Player Watch Oscar Ryan - Signed to End of 2026

    All fair comments, I just think we make our kids jump through too many hoops before giving them a crack. So is it on the recruiters for picking duds or the coaches for not developing them?

    Player Watch Oscar Ryan - Signed to End of 2026

    Of the top 40 picks in the 2023 draft, only 6 have yet to debut, and we have 2 of them in Edwards (pick 21) and Ryan (27). The others include 2 project rucks in Will Green (16) and Taylor Goad (20), plus Will McCabe (19) and Harry Demattia (25). Why is it seemingly so much harder for our kids...

    Do you think the change in ruck rules could open the door for either Maley or T Murray as an athletic but undersized first ruck option? I haven't seen enough ruck work from either but am unconvinced McAndrew is the answer for a side with flag aspirations.

    Player Watch Charlie Edwards - Signed to End of 2026

    Last year he had 20 disposals in only 4 games. It was against West Coast (18th), Richmond (17th), North (16th) and Port (13th). Seems like a good bloke and gives his all, but he simply cannot be one of our main mids if we want to achieve anything.

    Player Watch Charlie Edwards - Signed to End of 2026

    Have we though? Remove his sub games and he averaged only 16 touches (including a combined 24 across the 2 finals), kicked only 6 goals, has hardly any marks, and is not nearly the ferocious tackler he once was. All this while attending the 4th most centre bounces. Time to move on.

    Game Day Crows V Doctors pre-season

    Laird now gives us absolutely nothing that Bond couldn’t, and with far superior defensive work.
