I think we should double dip with KPPs, and potentially trade up from pick 40 if necessary. Archer Reid and either Murphy/ZZ would be a great complement to JTR as high potential prospects at either end. Better we take them earlier in the rebuild so that they have time to develop and fill out...

I’d be more open to the possibility of trading the F1 for Curtin if we understood what the plan with him is. In better times I might have faith in the coaching/development staff to work with him as a blank canvas but I don’t really have that confidence at the moment. The Brander scars are too...

Imagine going through nine months of pregnancy only to name your child Jaspa.

Lmao Ginbey surely would have been there at 13 if we got Pou. Clearly just don't rate The Pou.

SLIDE POU SLIDE

Swap Ginbey for Phillipou and Allan for Jefferson and that would be a hell of a draft.

Likewise! It has certainly been a while! I mostly just lurk now. The team’s performance no longer fills me with the righteous indignation that I need to get into arguments with strangers, nor the optimism to contribute to discussion about the future - it just makes me sad. I tend to become...

I spotted someone logged into BF and browsing this forum on a flight from Singapore today of all places. Reveal yourself, seat 49D!

Johnson sliding like this is pretty curious. He has prototypical size for a midfielder, good production and is known for his composure and class with the ball in hand. His combine results should have dispelled any notion that he is unathletic. He might not have been a prolific clearance winner...

Trying to be a bit cute there. The ideal prospect sitting right in front of us. Watch Freo pick him in the second round and laugh at us for the next decade.

No votes for Naita in round 23 for his 24 touches, 53 hitouts and million clearances. BOG by a country mile. 5? votes in total for comfortably our best player. Joke of a medal.

+ Nicholas Giovanni Naitanui. The rest of that squad should be buying him drinks for the rest of his life. Just consistently puts the team on his back. + Yeo and Shuey likewise willed the team forward. Felt like it was those three vs the world. - Brisbane absolutely kissed on the d*** by the...

Imagine watching that game, reviewing it through the week, having days to think about the selections and STILL picking Nathan Vardy. Brander's card is sadly marked. I wouldn't be surprised if a swap for Jordan Clark has already been discussed by the two clubs. Geelong would be a good club for...

This is the worst iteration of our team that I can remember. We’ve had much less talented and poorer performing squads, but no other team has shaken my faith and interest quite as much as this one. Not the Ken Judge era. Not the 2008-10 or 2013 teams either. We’re boring. By and large we play...

Clown car stuff. O'Neill the scapegoat while every underperforming senior player gets by on their ~ c r e d i t s i n t h e b a n k ~ Brander can't get a look-in after an excellent showing in the WAFL. Allen clearly underdone but isn't given the opportunity to rest. But you know who...

- Entire team looked flat and disinterested in an important fixture. Won’t bother singling our individuals - they’ve wasted enough of my time today. - 32 tackles. I believe this may be the lowest total of any team this year. - Total inability or unwillingness to respond. No noticeable increase...

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with the way that large numbers of posters on this board have seemingly just forgotten that Brander was playing good, comfortably first 22 footy for us earlier in the season and that he had established himself on the wing. Go back and look at the votes threads...

I don’t think he was shocking but he was definitely timid and conservative with the ball. Not the only one guilty of that in the second half, to be fair. As much as he was poor in that respect, you yourself have posted before “Branders got that knack of kicking it in a way that creates...

I was responding to the other poster who said that West had gone past Brander. Ultimately they’re both going to be competing (along with Hutch, Edwards and O’Neill) for that seventh mid/wing role so some comparison is inevitable. I agree that Brander does sometimes play timidly. Sometimes he...

I don’t know how he’s “really struggling”. He had a poor game - his first game in the seniors in eight weeks. West was also ineffectual this week for what it’s worth. I disagree with your assessment of him and I think that as wingman he offers quite a bit. He’s athletic (certainly more athletic...

OUT: Ryan, Hutchings IN: Winder, Brander Nelson to sub. Winder may be a bit raw but I in Ryan’s absence we will desperately need pace and pressure in the forward line. Some harsh criticisms of Brander in here. He was clearly AFL standard and worthy of a spot in the 22 earlier in the season...

+ Ball movement in the first half. Bold and decisive. + Willingness to try new things, namely Gov and Darling in the ruck, Naita tracking into defence + Kelly’s dominance in the second quarter. + Waterman working hard and finding pockets of space (but failing to convert). + Sheed with two great...

OUT: Gov, Darling, Sheed, Cripps IN: HEdwards, Waterman, West, LEdwards It pains me to leave Langdon in as he's just not quite up to it, but I'd rather see Cripps be dropped for catharsis as much as anything. If we're in the mood to send a message, I'd like a message to be sent to Sheed for...

Yep I'm done with Simmo. We're in a three-year backward slide that is bordering on free-fall now. Each of these losses is worse than the last because you think we'd learn or change a thing or two after each of them. The cavalry arriving has somehow made us worse, not better, and we can no...

+ I thought Darling played well after a few weeks of terrible footy. Took some decent marks and created well at ground level for on the wings. Did what he could with crap supply. + Naita and Yeo tried. + Duggan did some nice things. - Beaten comprehensively in every area. Each position group...

Disappointed with the changes. Rotham was one of our better players last week and didn't deserve to be dropped. He offers versatility and is a good matchup for their mid-sized forwards in Heeney and Blakey. Langdon and Vardy are known quantities who consistently offer SFA. Petch was bad last...

OUT: Waterman, LEdwards, Ryan (susp) IN: Jones, Witherden, Ah Chee Petch only gets a reprieve because of Ryan’s likely suspension. His effort was pathetic today.

+ Naita was great. + Duggan impressed. + McGovern’s kicking was generally very impressive. - We are married to playing one particular brand of football and it is totally to our detriment. This was evident in the way that we played in the first half and the team that we selected. - Bad...

OUTS: Foley, HEdwards, O'Neill INS: Kelly, Shuey, McGovern, Sheppard, Petch, Vardy Extended bench of Waterman Langdon LEdwards Vardy Petch Nelson Jones Rotham Foley a bit stiff there. Hoping that LEdwards, Petch, Jones and Rotham get the nod.

I don’t envy the match committee this week. OUT: H.Edwards, Langdon, Nelson, Cole, Waterman IN: McGovern, Shuey, Sheppard, Petch, Kelly Team: F: Ryan, Kennedy, Allen HF: Cripps, Darling, Petch C: Gaff, Shuey, Kelly HB: Hurn, Gov, Duggan B: Shep, Barrass, Rotham R: Naitanui, Yeo, Redden INT...
