Don’t know if I’d rest him but I’d put a blanket ban on Peatling tackling, bumping or so much as scowling at the oppo given how he’s been treated by the MRO this year
Dream big, let's reprise the Hawthorn 2008 model
Snag one next year with a young, raw team in a comp that's relatively weak across the board
A couple of wilderness years after a shock flag that happens to coincide with compromised drafts from expansion clubs
Players mature + top end draft...
Cross-town rival leaks to a journo that they are confident of landing a player in a two-horse race if that player leaves
Player agent who has to have good working relationships with 18 clubs immediately pours cold water on any speculation that his in-demand client has any prior opinion or...
We're building a good core of trustworthy players on every line. Worrall and Michalanney, Neal-Bullen and Peatling, Thilthorpe and Keays. They just refuse to let themselves get beaten. It's such a stark difference between the usual cast of scrappers and honest battlers, there's so much safety in...
As someone who watched him enough to know he was good but not enough to know how good, I can imagine Dees supports rolling their eyes for a decade over how criminally underrated he is. He doesn't give 1 percenters, those were 0.001 percenters
Also I 1000000% believe that the Ah Chee score review was a goal but the goal umpire was never going to pay it after 2023. That Keays score review was all part of our larger schemes. Our plans are measured in centuries :crystalball:
Quick entries to a mobile Georgiadis would be a concern but I would trust Butts to take the match up as a more suitable one-on-one
I'm not really convinced Port can rely on a massive score out of their tall forwards. I think JHF/SPP type players have been more of a concern when trying to defend
I can't imagine any of their forwards getting off the leash, but I could imagine JHF/Rozee/SPP combining for 10
Port's only path to victory is to trounce us in the midfield imo. I don't think their forwards or backs are good enough to kick a score or to hold our offense if it breaks even in the...
I'm not a big SANFL watcher. Would anyone be able to tell me how Charlie Edwards is tracking?
Could he be eased into the senior side in the Nank role? (not necessarily this week, but it seems like the most obvious switch to blood a debutant without making too many adjustments to team structure)
