4 for Roberts, 1+1 for Lloyd.

I know opinion is divided about Hayward on this board but I hope he stays. I'm not convinced at all about Zurhaar. Though there are others who would be good replacements I can't see them as gettable. We don't have a reasonable replacement unless we use Campbell partially in that role (maybe) or...

2012 vs Hawks

Not bad at 23! Will turn 24 during finals.

True enough but I'd lay odds on both. Chicken and egg. Happy once he gets his way. I admire the way Reid has gone about it so far. Very mature in a cheeky kind of way.

Blunts go in top pockets, not back.

Certainly seems a lot more grounded than JHF. Committed to the team and his teammates. Can't ask much more.

Pretty sure we would never have signed Tippett if we'd dreamed of Buddy. It was a pity they came in that order. Neither was individually a mistake. Who could have expected the dummy spit?

Just think of some of the talent that North and Essington have burnt. Or that have run away from Freo or the Crows.

No argument here. Been a fan since NEAFL days.

When he attacks the ball or the contest he looks terrific. He's not at all afraid of the contest. But he does seem a bit unsure when to press the "go" button. A bit the opposite of Gulden or Blakey, who are always on the lookout for opportunities to impose themselves on the game.

I think after two years of being a "burden" at his clubs and maybe not having the greatest life outside footy (guessing here) that being so welcomed and enjoying his role both as a player but also as a senior player and his life outside footy must be such an enormous pleasure. It must roll...

By now he would have gone elsewhere.

Pretty much what I said but prettier.

Uncle, those things can all be true (they are!) and what I fear (that he doesn't know how to impose himself on a game) can also be true. No-one hopes more than me that every player on our list finds success and fulfilment. Of course, they won't, that's the nature of competition, but hopefully...

Agree about Jordon's best game. Asked to do something different, minding a really good mid, he neutralised him most of the game. Not his usual shtick and with Rowbottom running with Rowell crucial to keeping their bulls quiet. My guess is neither will go out. Agree about Lloyd long term, but not...

Reckon it's a decent take. Maybe not 100% but close enough.

Possible but Grundy?

And yet our best footy is based on remorseless pressure. 🤔🤔🤔

Plenty on the internet, don't need her on big footy, nice as she is.

I think that Roberts is performing to the level in his position that warrants serious consideration but Reid will be getting all the media attention given that Sanders, McKercher and many of the other early picks aren't doing much at all. Windsor maybe is going OK. Wardlaw from last year but in...

Nope, the kick followed his eyes perfectly. He lost some of that ferocity as he tired a bit but played a huge role in gaining mental ascendancy over the GC mids. Coaches and teammates know.

I'm amazed and delighted at what Roberts has shown. I'm certain that the coaches and his teammates are too. Reminds of when Tommy went back - it was like he'd played there all his life. Incredible confidence right from the start. Kicks everything from a chip to a moon-launcher. I think you're...

What a wonderful idea!

Rozee won't have polled this weekend and I wouldn't be surprised if Heeney got 2 as backmen are invisible to umps.

When Lloyd is running, say after kicking, to take a handball receive then kick or handball again, he is very effective. Runs into space and already sizing up options. Where things can go wrong is if he takes a mark and props if there isn't a good target immediately obvious. Then the pattern gets...

Definitely a possible scenario. Love to bring in Sheldrick but would use Francis for Blakey. Give Campbell a full game in VFL and use CoWarner or Mitchell as sub, probably Warner for his pace.

Rozee has had a number of very good games but I reckon Heeney will have polled in every game and maximum in at least 3. The scales might mean that Rozee's 3 good games plus a 1 pointer give him say 10 and Heeney's 6 (3x3, 1x2, 2x1) say 13. It's a feature of the system. The other thing is that...

Really interesting. Doesn't LOOK terrifically athletic but has great skills, anticipation and hits targets, evasive, doesn't flinch. I imagine in a professional or even semi-professional program she would come on a treat. Hope we see a lot more of her.

An opportunity to build %. Not to be taken lightly. Don't kick it to Sicily!
