He was pretty poor tbh, disposals doesn’t equal a good game, made a lot of poor decisions. He is gone come the end of the year regardless.

Seeing a lot of Francis ins?
He played forward in the VFL last week, so if he does come in it won’t be in defence.
Also, defence was good last week, kept a team under 10 goals.
It was the other end that killed us and is killing us.
Not enough competing in the forward half.
Outs - Tippa...
Thoughts on this team
FB: Ridley Francis Redman
HB: Heppell Laverde Hind
C: Ham Parish Cox
HF: Smith Jones Waterman
FF: Stringer Hooker Walla
R: Wright Merrett McGrath
Int - Guelfi Perkins Snelling Bryan
Med - Gleeson
Just wanna see us show up with the attitude that we can win!! If we...
At the end of the day we lost by 1 point.
Yeah we blew a lead, but they also gave us a 40 PT lead.
I loved how Rutten stuck with his plan, and allowed our young team to learn in the moment.
This week is just a totally different beast.... no one including myself is giving us a chance.
I...
Because it’s counter Intuitive to where we are as a team. All that was required was someone to take ownership over the moment and stop the spread. Unfortunately our senior players (the few of them that there were didn’t do that). Shiel the king of going missing when it gets tough.

Jake won’t be rushed back, and he will need to
Build up game loads. Round 3-4, can’t keep rushing him back when he isn’t 100%.

Personally I’m excited for the chance to play a a smaller back 6, I’ve often thought we are too slow down back. Relying on Saad and Mckenna for all pace and ball movement out of half back.
We need to defend more as a group and not rely on 1 v 1s.
Sounds like Reid will get the nod, which is...
It 100% will.
If Daniher goes, it will be above 600k which is what our deal is offering. Which will put him the top 25% at earners from both clubs. Therefore resulting in a first round compensation pick.
Personally if it’s Sydney we will match and attempt to take their pick 3. If he doesn’t...
It’s not just about trading players, and making sure we get something in return, salary cap plays a huge role, that’s why we need to move on Hurley, Hooker, Bellchambers and Zaharakis, those 4 take up about 2 mill salary cap.
I’d also be will to trade on of our “star” (lose term) midfielders...
What I want to see....
Heppell on a wing/ halfback. Yeah there will be times when he can go in, but i think Parish is becoming an absolute weapon for us. I’d say he has gone past Heppell as that inside mid.
McGovern doesn’t take an uncontested Mark. Hooker, keeps him honest and doesn’t let him...
If you match the offer he is still our player. RFA is different to being out of contract. You can’t walk to drafts etc, he would have to sit out his whole contract. He won’t do that, I think Sydney really ****ed up last season in my opinion. Should have coughed up.
He will stay or we get two...
We are in a pretty win win situation with big Joey, if he stays then great if he chooses to leave, we will be matching any offers. Forcing through a trade. Sydney will have to cough up two first rounders.
And the way Sydney are going it will be two top 5 picks.
Giving us 4 first rounders over...
I’m not saying we need a full rebuild, but we need to attack this draft in a smart manner.
Cody Brand will join us in the late 2nd early 3rd round - Key Defender.
Clearly need an inside midfielder and Tall Forward.
There are some quality kids that fill that need in this years draft.
We...
can’t see us trading for a key defender, Cody Brand will join the club in around the 2nd-3rd round of this years draft. Hooker and Hurley will play at least another 12-24 months, we won’t bring in a key defender until they move on.

I’ve heard some whispers about chasing Rory Atkins.
I for one think he would be a good addition.
RFA - is say a future second should get the job done.
What does every one think?
Local boy as well, very good mates with Joe Daniher.

It’s a cop out among fans and journos. That haven’t played much footy (or at least half decent senior footy, since 2007 [emoji23])
It’s 100% game plan.
If the coaches wanted to they could tell a player his job is literally to jump on the ball and turn it into a scrap (that’s the extreme), but...
The size of midfielders is one of the biggest myths in footy. Dion Prestia isn’t tall, he’ll Lachie Neale isn’t tall.
The cripps, Bontempelli, Dangerfields of the world don’t grow on trees. Also, they weren’t poached from other clubs.
You just need to find someone that can play the role of a...
Just for the record, I love all the passion from every single one of our supporters.
We might not agree. We will argue, and go hammer and tong.
Love it.
I wish our boys would show the passion we do.

Hahaha. Nothing better then making up stats to support your argument.
Absolutely kidding yourself.
Your argument is flawed if you think he played on just one player in any of those games let alone all of them. Go back and watch Lonies goal. He is the direct opponent. So that proves that...
I wouldn’t say awesome...
I would say he was tracking to be a handy role player, which you need.
But on top of any injuries, several others have gone past, him.
I am convinced he is only on the list because of the drug saga. One of the ‘good bloke boys’.

Gleeson is the single most dumbest footballer I’ve ever seen. He makes the same mistakes repeatedly.
Never impacts the contest.
Loses his 50/50s. Doesn’t impact the contest either.
He gets all of his touches from 20 meter switches.
Doesn’t chase, doesn’t tackle. Doesn’t attack the footy...
I’ve never been so flat to be a bomber, but I’ll stick fat, and hope that all the focus being put on the Dons this week, from a united supporter base, Club greats and (this is a first) the media.
Spark a reaction from the whole footy department.
I’d be making wholesale changes. Dropping a...
Not sure on the matchups, but is it just me or have St Kilda come in very light with the tall defenders.
Howard, Wilkie, Battle vs Mckernan, Stewart, Townsend..... yes please!
