All of those might not make our round 1 team. On match day replace Cotters and Lob with Acres/Walsh on wing. Owies to give way to Motlop, Durdin, Fisher and cunners. Newman the most likely to keep his spot but would also be at risk from a back 6 of: Docherty, Saad, Williams, Weitering, Young and...

I’ve been a big fan of needs over best available within the span of a couple of picks. It’s ‘the opportunity‘ to get a best 22 spot that is the best development route for a young player. Setterfield is a decent player with no opportunity killing his career. So needs picking within reason offers...

I think Pitto is ahead as well but that is based on TDK not improving over the off season. He is a highlights reel with mostly little substance but that can change in one off season. Im going to wait for round 1.

I’m personally not sold on Young yet. Was very good but when he lost his confidence for a few games I was like…where has this dude gone. Want to see him back it up then I’m on board. I think he has got the body/ability but personality wise just seems like he would be better off at a magic the...

At least when we went for all GWS players they had some hype about them Before they failed. All these doggy players don’t even have hype. If anyone of them were worth going for then Geelong would pick them up as Wells is a genius. Austin could do worse than hire a private investigator to trail...

Doggies crying out for forwards and contemplating Lobb from Freo. So they have had Schache at their club. They have been dying for a second forward and they are willing to let him go. That is enough for me. If his on field persona and actions were more forceful, then maybe, but they aren’t...

Agree. I feel also if LoB survives another two years he will be a hunter Type.

It’s def worth a shot and it may be our best combo. I haven’t minded JSoS either. Young is polarising me from very good to scared/fumble version of Young. Windows is a good judge and is bullish on him. Where do you stand on him Arrow? Is he locked and good from your perspective at AFL Level...

This battle is still alive. The race is on. Can Pitto develop similarly into a Nankervis type (serviceable to good at times). Will TDK learn how to service our mids (currently chaotic at centre bounces) or even up his mark average which is woeful. Or will it be the giraffe (Mirkov) who comes...

I’ll start losing faith in Austin if he brings in Schache. The doggies used Schache as a decoy lamp post to free up their other forwards. And Schache put up with it. Would have like Schache to go * you and gone for the ball a few times. I’m worried it’s getting like ….we can only afford a...

Taking into account Acres and Stocker. Marchbank Weiters Williams Docherty Young Saad Walsh Cripps Acres TDK/Pitto Cerra Hewett Fisher McKay Martin JSoS Curnow Durdin McGovern, Kennedy, Motlop, Runner/winger ( no preference) Midfield rotations to include Docherty and Kennedy aside from...

It looks like it is fine now with a least a story published on a website. I thought the deal might be at risk because 1) Freo could easily up their lowball offer along with inertia of staying put being easier. 2) In 2022 Acres is in the top 8 wingers so Freo and others should fight for him. 3)...

Acres will probably fall over leaving us with Cotts and Lob. would like to hear something in the next 24 to 48 hours. Looking through Acres key stats he looked like he fitted easily into the top 8 wingers in the league in 2022. Our wingers don’t fit into the top 20…so a massive upgrade. Love...

I do accept your third line and maybe there are other issues at play here too. If stocker has the natural ability then to some degree there is an onus on the club to get the best out of him. Use their capabilities to get a player fired up and performing. Id accept also that they feel they have...

Really good example to my point I was trying to make which Arrow completely missed. Using Jack Martin as the example, do you feel the GC list manager did a stirling job with losing Martin for nothing.

I tend to think of SoS in this situation as he was good on the trades front. I don’t think SoS let’s this happens the way it has panned out. If, he ends up On another list then Austi; has missed a trick In playing the game of list mgmt.

I think his poor start to the year and fitness means those stats were poor as you rightly point out. I also checked out certain stats before i posted and he comes off worse in 2022 than Boyd and Boyd is terrible in a league wide comparison. His 2022 year doesn’t mean he is poor in those areas...

I can only surmise that Stocker is a non football related issue. I think he easily showed enough to stay on the list given who else we have on it and his age profile. I felt he looked over weight and from my own personal opinion didn’t look in great mental shape on media bits that he was...

It’s a very good question. Xavier Ellis? But I take your point, he would never be stupid enough to trade for someone. But then I think he is drinking in his own bath water by taking on the Norf job. So just maybe it’s still a chance.

What about Norf for Dow. Clarko might do a crazy Vossy.

Docherty to do a Laird and just go straight into the midfield. He has high IQ compared to the others in there on defence.

I remember you saying stats are useless to me bigfrizz. Good to see you quoting some sources to back your view. And you are entitled to it. I feel I back in my opinion particularly on Weitering. But also on Cerra being ok over the entire season. I’m very surprised Weitering made the shortlist...

I think Cerra and Weitering are two players who will kill it in 2023. Both just ok in 2022 given their pedigree.

Good analysis. I think come 2023 is that ‘we hope’ in some way that TDK has a massive preseason and comes out a force to be reckoned with. If not, I don’t know what we should do with him. On this season Pitto is much more reliable for stoppages. I’m just not sure he has any upside but maybe I’m...

Then you dismiss that significant injuries had any part to play in 2022 with ‘the list’ this year and you dismiss anything to do with Voss being in his first year and only being able to give ‘the list’ stoppage plays. This is not a shot at Voss as he needs more time to put in place transition...

I find this post completely lacks understanding and is reactionary of us finishing 9th. It is not our list that is not anywhere near a prem window. It is our transition plan from defence to attack that is not up to scratch. It is our coaching group not coaching final minutes pressure that is...

Boyd is getting a bit of love. For mine, if he can’t defend which on exposed form he can’t then I can’t see him in front of the other creative defenders in Saad, Docherty and Williams. Maybe has Newman covered going forward. I see Boyd as squad depth In 2023. Also Prefer Stocker for physicality...

In the wash up of this season we are talking about small specifics. Our list IMO is chock full of talent from a player perspective. Those last two games show that vs top 4 opposition. We had control before a lack of experience told. From a player perspective we need to uncover a ruck, wingers...

I think people are missing the point with Collingwood. Everyone is looking at 12 wins by a goal and calling luck. Reality is, their style made them competitive for those 12 games. Forget Pies winning every game for a second. Their style meant they were in the mix In all of those games. In the...

You are right. It is so funny he is in the all Australian squad. He has been much much better in the last two seasons. This season he has been average at best. What has helped his cause is that no one has stood out so much this year. Only May. Having said that, I expect next season he returns...
