    Player Watch #30: Charlie Comben - signed til end '27

    Huge statement. Would be profoundly impactful if he did. I'd be happy if he plays 15+ games and kicks 25+. Anything more is a bonus and I'd absolutely love to see it!

    Past #23: Ben McKay - gone to * as RFA - NMFC awarded Band 1 pick #3 compo

    Is in a very small group of players we simply must retain to build a Top 4 team in the initial Clarkson contract: LDU, Larkey & McKay, maybe also Simpkin. These are the four.

    Opinion 2023 captain

    McDonald for me. Also seems to fit Clarkson's mould - very Hodge like operator on the field. Simpkin certainly appears to have the attributes, and would make a sound Vice-Captain, but McDonald just feels like the type you'd run through a brick wall for. Also, when fit, in our Best 5 players...

    Our best 5 players since 1990

    Some seriously short memories re: Boomer in this thread. Putting him second behind Carey was an absolute no brainer.

    Our best 5 players since 1990

    1. Carey 2. Harvey 3. Stevens I think after that it gets very subjective, and subject to nostalgia or recency bias, as well as position bias. Rucks - McKernan or Goldstein? Or neither? Backs - Does Archer or Martyn make it? Forwards - Longmire or Petrie? Mids - Schwass, Grant and Bell or...

    Past #6: Jason Horne-Francis - NM have been informed by JHF's management that he will seek a trade to SA [contracted for 2023]

    Wasn't uncommon for LDU either in the earlier years. Fitness and strength to come with a couple pre-seasons.

    MVP Round 17 votes v pies

    3. Davies-Uniacke 2. McKay 1. Larkey Pretty straight forward for mine.

    MVP Round 2: Votes vs WCE

    3. Larkey 2. Greenwood 1. Hall Xerri unlucky - liking his 60/40 ruck rotation with Goldstein.

    Autopsy Round 1 - Deja Vu

    Yep - fair call. McKay is the answer for FB (not a great start on Lewis today, but he has many credits in the bank). McDonald is a very, very good half back. Jury is out on Corr (big year for him), and Turner is okay as a BP stopper. Definitely unclear what the back six will look like in 18...

    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke - signs until end 2025! Runner up in the 2022 Syd Barker Medal Award

    Man this lad loves the first 20 minutes of a game. Has come out of the blocks a few times now.

    Autopsy Round 1 - Deja Vu

    Just finished watching the game, immediate thoughts; Ruck/Forward line It'll be said many times this week - but we can't play Goldstein, Xerri and Coleman-Jones. I'd drop CCJ on that performance, and rotate Xerri/Goldstein ruck/forward. Where was Larkey's work rate today? Unless it wasn't...

    MVP Round 1: Votes vs Hawks

    3. McDonald 2. Davies-Uniacke 1. Simpkin Hall got plenty of it but his ball use was an issue, too many kicks went to ground & Goldstein was good late.

    Prediction Best 22 in 2022

    Ziebell (31) McKay (24) Turner (26) McDonald (27) Corr (27) Hall (31) Powell (20) Davies-Uniacke (22) Polec (29) Thomas (22) Comben (20) Horne-Francis (18) Zurhaar (23) Larkey (23) Stephenson (23) Goldstein (33) Cunnington (30) Simpkin (24) IC: Scott (21) Taylor (21) Phillips (19) Coleman-Jones...

    Past #25: Robbie Tarrant - traded to RFC for CCJ&picks - 2yr deal at RFC - 174 NM games/44 NM goals - retires 13/7/23 effective immediately

    Didn't expect this one. We know what entity McKay already is, but this puts a lot of pressure on Corr.

    List Mgmt. Trade & Free Agency talk Pt 4

    We're all a little heartbroken about this one, but he's earned our blessings. Treat him well Tiges. A good chance of giving you a really strong season in 2022.
