Could we try Hipwood in the ruck for short stints?

Any chance we could get David Noble back? Also why are we wasting McCluggage in the wing? He needs to be our rolls royce mid

Buckley coming back to Brisbane to win an elusive flag as coach would definitely be an ironic and also a full-circle moment

Yeah, that’s why I have a * next to most of Glenn McGrath’s wickets when the ICC found out that he was chucking and changed the rules to allow him to keep chucking https://amp.smh.com.au/sport/icc-on-right-course-by-attacking-chucking-problem-by-degrees-20141030-11e57q.html

Agree with this. Just plant Big O in the goal square and ruck relief for Fort as primary ruck. Allow Hipwood to roam more. I remember someone said Hipwood’s field kicking is elite.

Interesting that the forward line was supposed to be the Magpies weakness yet they generated 30 shots at goal

I hope you are right!

sorry poor wording, tough couple of years as in we will go backwards relative to other contenders (Port, Melbourne, Carlton and GWS) and we may struggle for top 4 let alone top 2 (which is what we need to have a genuine crack on GF day) - will need a mini rebuild of sorts slotting a few younger...

Feel like we are in for a tough couple of years. Lester and Zorko are on verge of retirement and we don’t have ready made replacements Unsure if Hipwood, Berry or Rayner will get better GWS and Carlton will be better and we may struggle to finish top 2 which is basically what we need to make...

Pies deserved to win Could Wilmot have gone with Bobby Hill?

Could Charlie play on Bobby Hill or is it conceding too much from our end?

is there any chance Lohmann could become like a Ginnivan type impact player for us?

Has Dizzy been playing well in the Ressies?

How good was it seeing Charlie Cameron go back and help out in defence

Has 3 genuine talls ever worked for us against the more competitive teams? I can’t recall a game against top of the table teams where it has. Feels like we just have to utilise Rayner in that “3rd tall” role because he can take a grab overhead but theoretically also provides the bonus of...

We need to persist with Dev in the midfield - can't judge him off one game - needs games to work into it and gel with rest of the midfield group

Fair point about the gutsy win. And fair point about Dev being told there are aspects of his game that he needs to work on in the reserves But can anyone provide a rational explanation why a bloke like Dev is told to work on his game in the reserves - and when he is selected, barely given a...

what did he say?

yeah it's like Fages wants Dev to fail (EDIT: to add I'm sure Fages doesn't actually want him to fail, Fages is not that type of bloke, but just what it looks like from the outside...) - just threw him in with 5 minutes to go when we were getting smashed in the centre clearances the whole...

We look better with Daniher in the ruck - maybe it's an experience thing

We have basically ruined the careers of 2 players - Rayner by not dropping him when he's deserved to be dropped and Dev Robertson who's never got a fair go even when he's deserved it

surely Dev gets a run in the middle to stop it being waltzed out of there

Rayner was supposed to be that guy for us - we invested a lot into him and the most consistent thing we've got in return is a podcast...

Fort has never got a proper go in the ones to work on his ruck craft Regardless I think we should just pull the trigger and trade Rayner for Grundy (with a few picks thrown in either side to sort out how much salary is paid by us)

Yep - spot on. Also we finally start to click as a group and show some cohesion after dropping Gunston/Rich after the Hawks debacle but then we pick Gunston AGAINST WEST COAST AT HOME (a mulligan game if there ever was on) and of course Gunston kicks 6 and it suddenly justifies his selection...

just thinking back - has Cam Rayner EVER been dropped since he was drafted? (aside from ACL year of course) or another way to put it - has he ever played a VFL/Ressies game? He has put in plenty of performances worse than where others have been dropped but I don't think Rayner has been dropped...

Looking ahead, and with Dev’s strengths as a gut running defensive mid, is there any chance he could utilised to run with and shut down Nick Daicos?

might be wishful thinking but could Starcevich go with Naicos? I know he was being worked up for a midfield role a few years ago

Maybe we should have gone after Jamie Elliott all those years ago when he was linked to us, he is absolute clutch

don't mind Maynard, tough as nails, wears his heart on his sleeve
