It was pretty silly to play Buku forward last year. We were crying out for intercept marking in the backline and he was an undersized lead/mark forward/ruck who benefitted from being our main target at vfl level. He never had a legit chance at playing afl in that position and was stitched up in...

I’ve thought this for a bit. He’s kind of like Tim but without the weaknesses - has a much more aggressive edge to his game. The real unicorn.

There is way too much smoke with Baz. Seems to me we lowballed, he may have felt insulted or whatever, hasn't even responded to the offer (Per Bains) and other clubs have pounced. He vanishes from the club for a bit, Collingwood players start getting a bit loose-lipped about their belief in him...

I really like Clarke and Spicer. Handy to have smalls who can apply pressure but also nail kicks going inside 50. Clarke has to be so close. I assume we have been waiting for him to display the capacity to bring defensive efforts for four quarters and he's looking good there. We have a couple...

Solid effort in the VFL but nobody really demanding selection, particularly after a big win against the saints. Give Sanders a run in the VFL, Libba in. Bramble, Harmes or Gallagher sub. Very much sounded like Marra would be unavailable from Bevo's post match presser. If VDM is out, Clarke...

Bit of a shocking miss from McNeil. Had a lot of time and space. Has a habit of doing that.

Gardner is unlikely to feature in our backline unless we get probably 3 injuries. Jones, JoD, Buku look like locks. If one of Buku or JoD gets hurt we don't even necessarily have to replace them with a tall. Keath seems to be preferred. Busslinger and Croft are investments that need consistent...

I don’t think the real question is whether or not Lobb constitutes good depth. It’s more if Lobb is happy being designated as depth. His history would suggest no. Additionally there are at least a couple of Melbourne based teams that would happily give him a starting gig. That we didn’t get...

I like that our social media game has ramped up. Not just with content but whoever is running the account has a bit of cheek - even if it means antagonising our very own social media nuffs. It’s not quite Giants level utter cringe but there’s genuine engagement. It’s character. Something like...

We all needed that. I don’t think there’s much to read into because we have mostly always shown we are capable of beating fellow mid table sides. Legit teams are what we struggle to get over the top against. Tonight is as good a bounce back as any, to be enjoyed, knock off Freo in Perth…now...

Wouldn’t blame Bont. He may not leave but he should be using his contract status to heap pressure on the club. Team success has cost him Brownlows. His prime has mostly seen him miss finals or get bounced in week one. I know some will get riled by that notion pointing to a flag (when he was...

I have accepted that the club has no aspirations and is happy making up the numbers, finishing 8th or 9th and no higher. They will take members money but have no real desire to make the decisions required to contend for another premiership. Nobody wants to admit there’s a problem because that...

Well that interview is highly concerning if what was reported is true. The club doesn't want to say the word 'rebuild' but essentially it's what they want. They believe in Bevo's coaching and it's the players at fault. If that's what they want, go for it. Trade Macrae, Caleb, Treloar, Dale...

Yeah, it was in reference to round 1. He went to Lade to know why he was subbed and what to do better. If it was a pre-determined tactical sub, Sanders wasn't aware of it.

No better way to start a rebuild than to not even own your own first round pick. Wonder if Bont is on board for a teardown?
