    Still believe he is more a natural ruckman than a key forward we will see over the course of the season.

    Derksen was behind some real quality defenders at GWS, with a genuine opportunity whilst Dean & O'Farrell are developing he may be a geninue acquisition for the next 2-3 years. Hopefully common sense prevails and Motlop is put on the LTI, very few have a 6month recovery not worth the risk at...

    Agree the new ruck rules are going to favour more mobile ruckman, having two one dimensional ruckman is not ideal, once we get our list back to challenging in 1-2 years time, some of the names mentioned should be on our list.

    Brisbane won a grand final with Darcy Fort & Geelong Rhys Stanley, having a elite midfield & solid defence & even spread of goalkickers is more important.

    Really many successful teams are winning premierships without a gun ruckman eg Geelong & Brisbane in recent years. I believe aside from bringing in Cody Walker key need would be a young forward, whilst Harry has some good years left this will be a key need .

    Injury Blue Healers Medical Room 2026

    Absolutely spot on O'Farrell is back running 6months into his recovery, probably still won't play till July. Motlop won't be ready to play this season, Docherty was very much a exception, standard recovery time for ACL would still be 10-12 months. Effectively means we are two players down a...

    Injury Blue Healers Medical Room 2026

    The season is earlier than ever now with Round zero, season needs to go back to third week of March, to allow players a longer preparation rather than rushing the conditional post Christmas. The number of injuries across the competition in pre season must be a major concern.

    Injury Blue Healers Medical Room 2026

    The season starts too early should revert back to third week in March, the Afl are obsessed with the commercial aspect, so many players injured in pre season as they are rushing the preparation due to the early start.

    I am not certain on the rationale for not bringing in two players, Motlop is gone for the season & O'Farrell won't be available till probably the last month of the season. Hopefully we will take a young tall to develop as we are very exposed if injuries occur in this area.

    Charlie in the 3 years prior to last season, kicked 64 & 81 and 57 so there is a significant shortfall to make up, Hayward will make up part of that gap.

    l would be banking on Hayward & Ainsworth kicking 25-35, not so sure on Moir & Frankie unless they can consistently put it together. Kemp potentially can be a good contributor.

    l suspect Kemp will be given 1st crack as the 2nd tall forward behind Harry with Okeefe on the bench, who can provide ruck & forward coverage. Hayward is a much more dynamic forward who can mark and is quick, we will be looking for him to kick 30-40 goals to make up some of the Shortfall...

    Hayward is a proven 30-40 goal forward, we were very keen to get him, highly doubt he is fighting with Moir & Kemp both yet to prove themselves. More likely Kemp or O'Keeffe as the 2nd tall target.

    Training 2026 Pre-Season Training - reports, pics etc

    Kemp is capable of kicking 30-35 goals in a season we need multiple players doing this not being dependent on 1-2 players is a step forward.

    We already have Motlop out for the season & O'Farrell for the major part before a game has been played, it makes little sense not to add Hollands and a young key position player, who knows what other injuries may arise once the season starts.
