Walker should come in to replace Worner, Voss/Tabs in for Cox playing forward, and a bit of a toss up to replace OMac, maybe Draper or Davies get their debut.
Thought we responded really well after conceding the first 4 goals and the midfield looked the best it’s been in years.
I don’t think the AFL realise how much of an advantage teams that played Opening Round get when they play a team that haven’t played anything but scratchies for the entire preseason. Brisbane essentially get a free game to dust off the cobwebs and iron out deficiencies in their game early -...
I know it’s convenient timing but have always rated Sharp higher than Henry.
The bloke can actually kick >40 metres and he’s kicked snags from outside 50 in the VFL.
Won’t slot straight into the side and will have to earn his spot but can definitely see this working out long term if he’s a...
Give the Pies fans who think they got fleeced a year to admit they were wrong.
Just like the Lions with Neale. And Melbourne with Langdon... And Carlton with Cerra
Would be filthy if we pass on Sharp, have him walk to West Coast and become a decent Gaff replacement. Think its a no brainer to take a punt on him given our wing stocks. The guy has a massive tank and is a decent kick, especially outside 50 for goal.
Some here flabbergasted by the fact that a 25 year old that has only been offered 1-2 year deals on crap money interstate is requesting a trade back HOME to the premiers who are offering him a 5 year deal on most likely much better money.
Like, yeah, no s**t he’s going to accept that.
If we...
Hamling would be good for Sydney, although we’ll be leaving ourselves open if Cox or Pearce come down with an injury, Davies needs more time in the 2’s. Also shutting the door of playing all 3 and swinging Cox forward if we cop any injuries to our tall forwards.
Reminds me of Alex Silvagni a...
Erasmus is still 19 and Johnson turned 20 before the season even started, Neil might as well be thought of as a 2022 draftee.
I know 9 months isn’t a significant amount of time for a lot of us on here but for a developing athlete it can be a huge difference when you’re in your late teens/early...
Say what you want about Hase but credit where credit is due, he was spot on with this prediction:

Jackson will tear multiple big games apart in the 10+ years that we have him and this discussion will be put to bed.
The people complaining about the draft capitol we gave up for him are the same people complaining that we aren’t contending. Who’s to say we don’t just bring in another Cerra who...
Since before the Suns game when JOM acknowledged he was being too careful to not make any mistakes at his new club he’s been massive and deserves the recognition, he really led the midfield yesterday and if had nailed that goal on the run in the 2nd(?) he’d be close to BOG for mine.
A lot of positives to list them all but overall genuinely thrilled we weren’t pushed by a bottom 3 side at home and put them to the sword.
Biggest issue was we got killed out of the middle again - especially in the first half. Once we threw Fyfe in there he made a MASSIVE different, just like...
The forwards are a bi-product of our midfield and our midfield is getting absolutely pantsed every single game. I have no doubt if Sturt was playing last year he’d have had a great season, he’s a lead up forward with speed to burn his direct opponent not a contested marking beast, if we’re...
Regarding Acres, you know it’s a shocking list decision when a player you’ve traded out the year before could easily be a trade target for our list the year after… incompetency at it’s finest.
Raz looks the closest to a call up, has great hands and his kicking has been good, winning all the free kicks he should have been receiving last week. He’ll be a player for us.
NoD also looking good just needs some match fitness, has set up some scores for Peel.
Wilson been the most damaging...
Got smashed in contested possessions and ground ball gets (again). We haven’t won the contested possession category in any of our 6 games yet this season. We just can’t seem to win our own ball, and then when we do, we play safe to keep possession so we don’t lose it again.
It starts with the...
Worth noting we were the 3rd youngest side for the round and had the least average amount of games played - even less games played than Hawthorn.
Supporters and opposition supporters alike have expectations for us to perform and be a top 8 side again using last year as a benchmark, truth is we...
What struck me differently while watching that game compared the game against Adelaide is that even while we were down 4 goals there was a sense of reassurance purely by knowing guys like Amiss, Sturt and Freddy CAN bob up and kick 2 quick goals alongside Shultz and Sonny. We didn’t see that...
