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...

Thank you so much for all the updates and final report on a work day. Makes it more real for us interstaters.
Really pleased by the Konstanty and Ford reports. Feel like there is room for Konstanty, Ford and RHJ.
Konstanty pre trade vids looked everything we needed, hope that's what we get.
Keen to know more about BGZ from you both.....he appears to have put on some size, how was he moving.
My thoughts on today.
Was on the ground but didn't play: BGeorge, WDawson, CCJ, Corr.
Did not see: Zurhaar, Darling.
Injured: Wardlaw :-( (early on, I didn't see it).
Will Phillips - was everywhere in the first quarter, and tapered off a bit after that but still stayed involved throughout...
Martin didn't cost us a thing, and we got Bowes for the cost of...them giving us Jhye Clark, lol. Rohan cost us Pick 63...Scott Selwood and Zac Smith cost us nothing. Zach Tuohy cost us next to nothing. Ablett returning cost us next to nothing. Dahlhaus cost us nothing. Higgins cost us Fogarty...

Just some positional type stuff mate.
Did JD do any relief rucking? I think this will determine whether Brynn gets a run early.
Would you say Colby played more wing or half back? Who would be next in line after Scott for the other wing position?
My thoughts on today:
Tom Powell: stand out mid for the day. Clean, fast, and got plenty of it. Will take the next step this year.
Will Phillips: see Tom Powell. Very close second. Surprisingly good, clean, and competitive. He is a clearance mid. He is not a tagger. Really had the hunger...
Looking at the market theres only a handful of quality HFFs coming OOC in the next couple of years.
ZacBailey (2026)
Kai Lohmann (Heard the Tigers are throwing enormous cash at him) (2025)
Bobby Hill (2025)
Brad Close (2025)
Gryan Miers (2026)
Callum Ah Chee (2025)
Darcy Jones (2026)

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...
I think Brisbane/GCS would be seriously strong. Just off the top of my head
Starcevic - Collins - M.Andrew
Rioli - H.Andrews - Coleman
McCluggage - Neale - Anderson
Rayner - Hipwood - Bailey
Cameron - King - Lohmann
Witts - Rowell - W.Ashcroft
Dunkley - Zorko - Flanders - Ah Chee
Probably...
...receiving strong support from the bullish Sam Powell-Pepper beside him. The pace and x factor comes from Tom Papley, premiership star ZacBailey, and the pacy, tenacious Darcy Byrne-Jones.
The bench consists of the aforementioned Blicavs, who is possibly the most professional athlete in the...
