We hang on to those guys for way too long. It’d be what, 5-6 years for McNeil and a few more for Gards and VDM?
Every club has guys like that on a list, but they also recycle them. We’ve known their ceilings now for a while and they’ve got no upside, even over a new recruit.
Just move them on...
- Play Geelong once and it be a home game at Marvel.
- No Darwin…surely we’re due for a Suns game at the Gold Coast (seems like we haven’t played there in ages).
- Also due for a softer gather round opponent and/or not going there off a Perth trip or whatever.
- I’d prefer less night games...
Actually thought he was going good this year until that last injury (Cats game?). Body really let him down last few years and always copped an injury just as he was finding form, which would’ve been so frustrating for him.
Could see he was gone last round vs Freo. There was 3-4 times in that...
I can see Bailey Smith’s story playing out like Akermanis but with a sooner demise. Very similar vibes.
In a club that’s isolated with alphas getting about, they’ll just put up with all the nonsense enough while they’re winning. That’s all that matters.
Give it a few years and let’s see if...
Spot on. A lot of the responses have been embarrassing.
You don’t have to like Snoop Dogg (he ain’t one of my favourite rappers - still good but) but denying his popularity says more about your own ignorance than anything else.
I hate KISS. Imo, they’re one of the cringiest and cheesiest bands...
What’s with all these 20-30m floaters into dangerous areas? We’re mainly kicking them off one of two steps without pressure. Even Libba did one in the last quarter.
Take the four points and move on. That Melbourne group will never stink it up against us.
Heath Shaw’s finger pointing used to really annoy me. Some unaccountable moron that would constantly spray his own team-mates.
What a loser.
But his antics may have got us home in the 2016 Prelim.
Thank you Heath.
Logue is Zaine Cordy with less mongrel.
Somehow undersized (looks taller on the field than he’s actual size), slow and poor skills.
North just banked on a top 10 pick eventually coming good.
He’s never shown anything imo. Even looked bad in what was a pretty handy Dockers backline then tried...
We have much less reliance on old blokes than the main contenders. Libba about our only important one who is close to the end, but that’s probably the one area we have depth in.
Secure Butters, get a key back and work on defence.
Frustrating season, but I think we’re a year away irrespective.
You’ve got to sit someone on Dawson. He’s the orchestrator in so many of those attacking plays and I’m not sure there’s much else there that can have anywhere his influence.
I know we’re not a tagging side, but there needs to exceptions. Negating his game would be a lot easier than trying to...
Swans pulled plenty of goals out of their arse…just looked like they got really lucky with a lot of those entries.
Guys just throwing it on their boots from a fortuitous bounce and getting the right breaks.
It was annoying, but we bank the points and that could’ve easily been a slip up match...
When there’s traffic 20-50m out, he doesn’t really have the forward nous to create a lot of scoring opportunities for himself, although he makes a lot of those for teammates. His goals either off the back of elite work rate or contested marks, which he hasn’t been completing.
Live at the game...
