Im actually quite proud of this post but im going to ignore a certain nuffy rather than get into a slanging match. All i can say is i hope all supporters just don't blindly follow and continue to ask questions. Just on Clarke since he has been in charge of recruiting at the club It includes ND...

Lynchy won't be getting any quicker thats for sure and the problem is there are plenty in the same boat. Surely there is a realistic expectation that our older blokes will be in some form of decline. No one will argue that Taranto 23, Martin 20, Bolton 23, Prestia 20, and Hopper 16 are our best...

Pretty simple formula to play wing. Pace, Good motor an ability to take the game on and break lines and importantly very good footskills. Our incumbents in Ross and McIntosh lack in several of these areas. Also i think if Marlion is to play it should be as a onballer leaving the wings and flanks...

Not sure about the Young love. While acknowledging he did well primarily as a stopper he just did not do enough in other areas. In a sentence too one dimensional. Yes it was his first season and with that he should have some improvement left in him. Imo that is offset a bit with him being...

If all are fit i see it differently to most. Balta - Rance. Very similar players even with their weaknesses. Gibcus - Astbury. Gibcus a massive upgrade on Astbury and for that matter Young who is a one trick pony. Why have just a player who only spoils when you have potentially a star who can...

Long way behind weitering in all areas including one v one wins. It comes down to basically effecting a spoil of which Young did very well in but gave us little else in any other area. Lets not fall into the trap of taking just one stat or looking at just aspect of the game and ignore...

Went to Subiaco from kalgoorlie where he was playing seniors at full forward against men. At subiaco he may well have played in the ruck on occasions like an awful lot of kpp's but he primarily played kpf. We tried him as a forward when he first came to us but we quickly decided to play him in...

Boy talk about a total misunderstanding of a players worth. Peter Hudson at 188cm was as tall or taller than Dunstall Wade and a few others. Fmd Lockett was only 191cm He was fantastic on the lead and he was a terrific one on one marking player. The only thing unconventional about him was his...

Im happy to be corrected but Miller was very much drafted as a key forward. That aside he is just not ruckman size, and even if he is played there as a short ruckman he does not have the attributes to dominate.

I do like the honesty.

Lots of debate about him I think people do question his inability to lets say win one v ones consistently enough. Too many lapses in concentration and he still probably makes a few too many simple mistakes as well. Thing is based on pure potential He and Gibcus with patience should be the...

Just not a spot for him imo and we have to be aiming for better. As people have mentioned Balta, Gibcus Young are all in front of him as key defenders. Young may or may not allow us to develop Balta as a fwd who knows.Atm for me Balta, Gibcus and Bauer would be my three tall options in defense...

As a key fwd he is actually tracking backwards. Last year with Lewis on one leg he could not cement a game in the Hawks team. He was offered a contract by the Hawks relative to his output. We need Tall forwards so he is a good fit he is just one, we could do with another two or three. To expect...

This post is spot on. He like most recruits has some good attributes its what gets them drafted. Ben is the epitome of a list clogger though. Our tall stocks are in such disarray because we hang onto players who show some good traits but never go on with it. He has been there since 2017 and...

B: Vlastuin - Balta - Bauer HB: Broad - Gibcus - Brown C: D Rioli - Taranto - Banks R: Nankervis - Martin - Bolton HF: Clarke - Koschitzke - Coulthard F: Ryan - Lynch - Campbell Int: Hopper - Prestia - Sonsie - Baker - Short. Just think Bauer is a logical replacement for Grimes and he is a...
