Stephenson was a good choice. In his first year he averaged just under 20 touches and a goal a game. Then he did his hip ****ing around and was never the same. Atu was steak knives in that deal and was never played in the position he was recruited. Meh but worth a shot at the time. Corr was...

To answer regarding how I assess the results as a fellow headhunter, it would be a bit wanky of me to give him an overall mark. This year in particular, I felt he did his job. No doubt about it. Reasons based on my previous post. Previous years, I am by no means saying he was great. However...

Rawling is a Twit. Yet he remains employed by our club. Staggering. :stern look

Don't agree that you just use 1st round picks on needs. But if the talent level is close or depth in that position already, then sure positional needs/character/location/medical may be more decisive factors than just taking best talent. You can take the best talent and trade some players on the...

You have to remember that none of those were his fault and the fact we have finished in either 17th or 18th since 2020 has nothing to do with him.

Laz and Watkins are big losses to the midfield. Sellers can be covered as he did nothing after his afl debut.

I think we’ll improve significantly this year, to the tune of about 4 goals a game. Not sure how that would come in terms of more goals for and less goals against, but if it’s split evenly it would be: 23 games x 4 goals x 6 pts pg = 552 / 2 = 276 up / down 2024 For + 276 = 1,895 2024 Against...

Wow can't believe you posted something like this because a few weeks ago I had a similar thought. So similar infact that I wrote down the following list in the Notes app on my phone back in early December (wasn't going to post it when I tabled it up, but now I've got a use for it thanks to your...

Not even sure I'll post this but I'll do some research and see if it's got legs. I'm having a look at scoring and a moneyball approach to our rise up the ladder in '25. A separate post could look at lowering our Points Against to under 2000. But looking at Points Scored we sat in the bottom...

He certainly can!!! :p Backline (B, HB) B: Joel Jeffrey, Alex Pearce (VC), Josh Sinn Alex Pearce (VC) leads a formidable defensive unit with elite intercepting and leadership skills. He's capable of shutting down the competition's best forwards. Joel Jeffrey adds flair and versatility as a...

Hope so.....have only heard he's good, yet to see it.

I think Liam Shiels nominated him as the surprise packet/smokie?

Interesting, what makes you say Hoare is slow? For a big man he’s bloody quick imo. He’s also 24 I’m pretty sure? Best VFL defender. Also like the Zach Reid take.

Early thoughts on OOC players: 2. Sam Draper: Will either get a monster contract or go via FA. Right now I think FA would be better for us. 8. Ben Hobbs: Tough one, Shiel seemingly playing off half back will give him more opportunities inside but needs to take his chance. I can see Geelong...

I can see Powell playing th same type of role that Liam Shiels played at Hawthorn. Will need to learn to play his role, as he is never going to be the main man in this midfield. If he can play some half back, some run with and some wing, he will keep his spot. If he is under the impression...

I loved that hype video they did last year, but you might be raising fair points. We did pump it up a lot.

...were putting out videos of parents and families sending special wishes, male NM players with the same number providing video tributes. Liam Shiels streamed speech to them all etc. And to cap it off was the Sonia Hood (who I'm a huge fan of) video reminding them all of the weight of NM history...

For me, our current situation reminds me so much of the 70’s. We got Barassi, we got Davis, Rantall and Wade. We saw a light! The Clarkson effect is real. Hopefully our 3 new recruits can have the same impact to our players and club through their leadership, experience and performance.

Ignore age, we've struggled to attract quality players at the time of the trade for 15 years. Our only recruitment wins based on the player's standing at the time imo were Higgins and Anderson. While NDS was high quality he was being actively pushed out for a compo pick. Waite was proven elite...
