We really are. Darcy is too important up forward, especially with JUH out, and Lobb is too important down back, especially with Jones out. Locksmith is just too young. Gardner's currently next in line.

A CHAUFFEUR ready in your van
Will take you to your entry gate
Say the word, off you go
A second lost, is a second late
THE 41 players on the camp don't know it yet, but...
I think we'll be a lot better this year.
Last year our defense was a complete mess, they had no idea what they were doing or who to cover... It also didn't help that Ash Johnson was a literal training cone out there.
I think this game is a 50/50, worse if we don't have De Goey.
Larkey is one of the most overrated players in the comp. His 1v1 win % is an atrocious 23%. His goal assists are almost non-existent. His contested marking is below average. He kicks goals mostly from easy lead-ups, ‘out the back jacks’ and soft free kicks. He’s a very good converter so he does...
...about how we match up on a GWS forward likely comprising a rotation of Hogan, Cadman, Callum Brown, Stringer, Riccardi, Brent Daniels, DarcyJones and of course Toby Greene. So much firepower in the air and at ground level.
We really need to convincingly win through the midfield, to starve...
Larkey 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The most overhyped KPF there is, bar none. Unless it hits him lace out, forget it.
And before you say it, Darcy Byrne-Jones was an all Australian. And that says all you need to know about selectors.
Flippy flopping all the way to the first game - will get excited by the preseason games and want to change the team again but that’s part of the fun. Reckon everyone other than * are a lock.
Assuming JUH plays.
FF: Weightman JUH Darcy
HF: West Naughton Kennedy*
R: English Bont Libba
C...
Jedwab and Toma are the only ones we desperately want to keep. Bailey Scott is a loss, he's a good solid player.
Give it a rest dude. He's retired. It's not even remotely relevant, you just look pathetic.
STAYING: VFL: Ryan Brodie, Jared Eckersley, Matt Foley, Jackson Hately, Will Hoare, Solly McKay, Lachie Monteith, Ricky Monti, Cam Nyko, Xavier O’Neill, Jack Peris, Oskar Smartt, Mahmoud Taha, Dayten Uerata; AFL: Nick Bryan, Nate Caddy, Jye Caldwell, Nik Cox, Alwyn Davey, Sam Draper, Sam Durham...
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...
They are variations, but if the “last” list spot has any real value imo it’s picking a break glass in an area of need or a long shot project with athletic attributes.
Prior to Marra going MIA I would have been happy to see Darcy rucking but it sounds like we have no choice but to chain Darcy...
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...
Fortunately the AFL also has a draft system which allows the weakest clubs access to the best young kids. So while perceptions of our club may make it harder to headhunt players from other clubs we can still get quality players in through the draft. This obviously makes it more important for us...
My team for round 1
Hoping English will be fit and Sanders can emerge
Think Odonnell is ahead of Busslinger by a country mile
Backing Khamis in as a backman and possible swingman
Wish-list - Arty Jones to cement a spot or at least be a regular sub
FB: Khamis O'Donnell Bramble
HB: Dale Lobb...
If Naughton, Darcy or English go down - with Jones already out for the first 4 games, we will be definitely a big man short.
Remember Naughton is also having calf issues- similar to Treloar.
Having an extra ruck is definitely a bigger need than an extra mid/ wing/ small forward.
They're in a bit of trouble too, really. Lucky for them they are playing us.
B: Bramble, Jones, Busslinger
FF: Curtis Larkey Darling
HB: Dale, Lobb, Freijah
HF: Zurhaar Comben Simpkin
C: Williams, Liberatore, Richards
C: Powell LDU Scott
HF: Davidson Naughton, West
HB: Daniel Corr...
Gardiner probably the most likely scenario considering his work in that role over the pre season.
What’s the likelihood of English not being ready? We’re still 7 weeks away from Rd 1.
