That was against West Coast in the pits.
Also don’t think our midfield picture was rosy at all.
The loss of Crouch was huge
And SebRoss factor gone - the younger version - kind of legacy cost.
It got so bad that some small differences seemed a great improvement. Even Jones etc and Pou...
...position that he may have played in.
Riley Bonner (delisted),
Jack Hayes (delisted),
Old
Tom Campbell (free agent, Melbourne),
Brad Crouch (retired), Knee is stuffed, with a good knee would have been kept.
Tim Membrey (delisted), = Would have been ok this year, but only just.
SebRoss...
Battle is the only one of those outs who can honestly be considered to have had a good to excellent season. Membrey was very in and out and whilst we will miss him, Sharman is capable of filling that 3rd tall role and average similar numbers.
Its funny though, my active dislike for other clubs...
...Travaglia
Outs – Matthew Allison, Josh Battle, Riley Bonner, Tom Campbell, Brad Crouch, Jack Hayes, Olli Hotton, Tim Membrey, Ben Paton, SebRoss, James Van E
Key point I am telling myself, That IS a lot of talent that went through the EXIT. but they are not going to be much good, retired...
As you say, fitness is the key. I feel like in 2024 we actually lost both Crouch and Ross.
Seb wasn't even getting selected in the end and was a shadow of his former self when he did. The end came quick for him, otherwise Jones would have copped the bullet instead.
Between the 2 of them it was...
after watching sebross zac gilbert barrass and mcgovern for years,i dont mind the long bomb,if it gets intercepted ok,its a long bomb,but i wanna throw the remote through the screen when i witness barrass mcgovern and sicily eat intercept marks from supposed pinpoint passes

You made finals with the 12th hardest draw. I’ve already pointed this out to you.
No, you've had it shown to you that Sydney won 1 game(against the Roos) from 7 and you're clamoring onto your win against them in this period like it means you're going somewhere, ontop of making out like Carlton...
...is not tanking.
As above but add in that this year we 6 kids in the draft. Including 2 in the 3rd round. Id also note that we shedded SebRoss, Brad Crouch, Jack Hayes, Riley Bonnar, Tim Membrey. Turning over the list and playing alot of kids. Additionally your magic solution to this was...
Sounds like he's referring to the 2024 season. We would have loved to have him out there (in 2024) but we lost him.
But if it is a degenerative knee, you would assume it's only going to get WORSE... So then yeah, weird quote in the context of putting him on the rookie list for another year.
...of being taken again in the rookie draft on Friday but Lyon said “we lost him” as the club freed up salary cap space.
Tim Membrey and SebRoss, along with Battle, were other experienced players to leave the club in the off-season.
“We have made some hard decisions and there have been some...
Not that it matters, but why do we exclude Hunter Clark from this narrative? Every pre-draft profile refers to him as a midfielder.

I'm being a little tongue in cheek here but doesn't that kind argue against the idea of drafting mids at all cost?
Outside of Sheezel have any of those guys really been standout players?
McKercher gets a heap of the ball but he's playing half back and taking kickouts. Travaglia can do that...
...we don't have good midfielders.
The last 4 midfielders we've drafted in the first round are:
Luke Dunstan (last pick of first round)
SebRoss (Last pick of first round)
David Armitage
Nick Dal Santo
We've taken less midfielders in the first round over 20 years, than North have taken top...
Bo Allen does look good when he busts out of packs, but geez his disposal gives some serious SebRoss vibes...
Both turn on to that left and can get penetration but rarely a good option or a kick to advantage
