    Training Pre-Season 2026 chat

    Obviously I agree given I am a long term fan - the only hesitation I have is that is isn’t in the inside mold in terms of attacking the contest. He does seem to pick and choose but maybe I am old fashioned and underestimate the “smartness” of not getting sucked into congestion? I am not being...

    Training Pre-Season 2026 chat

    Not much of an update from, trackwatcher. Basic view is that right into holiday mode. Yesterday was a “fun day” and tomorrow is open training so very light for the fans. Injuries and niggles have been reported above. Nothing to add other than real concern over Kolo as he has missed every...

    Training Pre-Season 2026 chat

    I reckon we might see some glimpses this year - but only sparingly and only if some pre season experiments show promise. The alternative of just consolidating his wing position (ie. be at AA level for full year) isn’t bad for his development either and then look to move more midfield from...

    Rumour GFC 2025 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 3

    I am hoping you are wrong with first sentence but that is how it currently looks…Again I am hopeful confidence will mean take a few more risks in terms of disposal (ie. that the “slowness in brain” is more caution)…IF (a big if) he did become a bit quicker in decision making then I do think the...

    You still have time to come up with a more appropriate term than the Doritos train (!) but maybe not much given he showed something yesterday (too early but let’s embrace it). So have a think about what bandwagon we are jumping on and be ready to gp

    I don’t know sorry. I haven’t done too much in terms of enquiries. So don’t know who is coming back from knee other than the new boy

    Going to dominate in 2026. I can feel it

    Rumour GFC 2025 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 3

    I am worried that you are correct. But hopeful you are not! I am not as worried though about intensity. I actually think that is how it comes across rather than a desire for the contest. What I am concerned about has been his seemingly lack of ability to get the ball out of the contest. Ie...

    Rumour GFC 2025 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 3

    That is what I am hoping for with Mitch. I admit that I am bias but...if he takes that path and can play a dozen (good) games this year, he could explode at some point. As others have said he might just be lacking something but I remain hopefully given what he can offer

    Strategy Best 23 for Season 2026

    yep...all makes sense and of course I can't imagine we have such a clean sheet in terms of injuries. hope we do but expect we will need to test our depth. better next year than last as I think we have depth. The trick of course is to not wear out our first choice midfield. and to also be...

    ha. I haven't got over jinxing everything coming back for the finals. will disappear at some point if I think we need to string some important wins together! Can't believe footy is back...very keen I don't think I will make it down to training myself pre Christmas so I will rely on some...

    Training Pre-Season 2026 chat

    In terms of anything unexpected I suppose by definition it is difficult to predict! Often these things aren't really planned and just evolve I think (Holmes from wing to defence sort of happened in experiment pre season, Dempsey from forward to wing was due to last minute injury in Adelaide...

    Strategy Best 23 for Season 2026

    Your comment about 6-7 midfielders with mid 60% is interesting as I noticed it too last year that our mids went more to the 80% type. Maybe that was because Atkins was alone for his “type” (with tanner not there and danger playing forward) and also maybe given the taggers being in there? I am...

    Training Pre-Season 2026 chat

    Only a minor trackwatcher update… Time trial was more of the same from past few years with Dempsey again winning (“smashing his PB”) followed by Gryan and then Knevitt. On Mitch I am so hopeful (this is not from trackwatcher just my own personal wish!!) that he turns his running and size into...

    Strategy Best 23 for Season 2026

    Ok…so true to BF I need to change my best 23 and put Knevitte in now given he “wowed his teammates” and “looked stronger” day 1 of pre season. He is therefore a lock for best 23! (Seriously though I do hold real hope for him. He is a point of difference with his size. I can’t figure out why...
