I hope the AFL have some common sense when they look the academy rules at year-end. Father-son should just prevail the academies if they’re eligible for both. I feel like it’s a contradiction to the romanticism of the father-son rule if you have players choosing academy over their dad’s old...

He’s technically a coach already that doesn’t fall in the soft cap. Made a lot of sense bringing him back

Would love to see Moore get some more time in the guts. Whatever is currently going on with our current midfield mix is not working

I don't think DGB is ready to be thrown in the deep end as a genuine key defender yet. Two alternatives in my opinion: 1. Play Frost in place of Blanck 2. Sicily plays on the number 1 forward again and we play DGB in the intercept role Unfortunate as Sicily free roaming is lethal, but I'd...

Don't know if anyone saw Air by Ben Affleck last year, but Roughy seems like he could be the type of person whose role aligns with Matt Damon's Sonny Vaccaro. Will be easy to see if he can help us land some big fish in the next few years or not

Wiz for 23. Let’s break the mould of key forwards in the jumper

The thought of a couple childhood hawks wearing the 23 (Baz) and 33 (Ginni) are what kids who grew up in the golden era dream of. Would be unreal.

To weddle or park it for a year I reckon. Or was kind of hoping to see Baz in it with the photos of him and Buddy as a kid, but that doesn’t seem like it happens this year

What is the purpose of the PSD these days? Can’t believe that it’s a tool that clubs can use as leverage in the trade period, it’s wrong

Geez I’m excited to see what Mitch Lewis could do next year with a bit less heat on him with Gunner and Mabior in.

There is a role for Kosi to play in a better forward line structure, where he I think he can be a legitimate number 3 forward who pinch hits in the ruck. I don’t think it’s fair to judge him on games like today where he is being asked to do more than he can handle. It just remains to be seen...

If he requests us, I reckon a trade gets done. If not though then we walk him to the PSD. And if North pick him up, it is what it is really.

I appreciate the work Twomey does but the Essendon side of him shows with the pessimism in that last sentence. Seems that he does not want us getting him cheap

Would love a bag of 5 against the Dockers this weekend to get to 50 goals for the year. It'd be the 4th time he has achieved that feat
