Hes a 100 mil player. Honestly we should sell him and then reinvest in 6 players. Stack the squad.

Well done to SD and the boys. Hes rallied at every set back throughout the year. Looking forward to see what next season can bring.

Once the trade has played out and hasn't eventuated in positivity for the list, you have to view the trade with a critical eye in regards to the missed opportunity. Reality is bad but it didn't have to be, therefore they did a poor job. If there wasn't very good talent around those picks then it...

Could have been Zak Butters and Sam De Koning. That's Jindabyne farmland.

Have we played Caddy in the middle at all yet?

There's nothing wrong with using hindsight to analyze something. It's the job of the experts and professional to use foresight. When Pendlebury was taken at 5, a lot of the professionals laughed thinking it was too early. That's what separates good list builders from bad ones. Moloney, Green...

Which had nothing to do with tanking and everything to do with taking the wrong players. If Melbourne hadn't tanked and ended up with the exact same players, their position would not have changed. How did they end up getting out of that rut? By nailing 3 top 4 draft picks. They don't take...

He shouldn't have, but either way he was feeding Reid and getting fed by him. It causes a distribution of defensive resources in the opposition.

Hawthorn, Melbourne, Richmond. https://thewest.com.au/news/tigers-reject-tank-talk-ng-ya-252243 The teams that failed didn't fail because they tanked, they failed because they drafted the wrong players. If Dustin Martin goes to Melbourne are they in this conversation? No. They aren't. Just...

I disagree, teams haven't tanked and haven't won flags and teams have and have won flags. There is no cause and effect. All that matters is talent, sometimes you tank and the talent isn't good, other times like in this case, it absolutely would have been and Reid moves a teams culture far more...

Spot on. All that tanking leads to losing culture stuff is horseshit. The only thing that fixes culture is drafting the right players with the right attributes and tanking provides greater opportunity to draft those players. If you had drafted Martin instead of Trengove, Carlton drafted...

AFL fans macabrely celebrated Watts not handling the pressure of being number 1. If a healthy dose of arrogance is required to survive the pressures of the braying mob of tall poppy criers, more power to the kid.

He's got time. Dad was 23 or 24 in that pic.

Amazingly horrendous coaching to push numbers behind the ball at 8 points up and we win the centre clearance.

This is a mess. Foot and hand skills in the midfield nonexistant. Positives are Hayes, Roberts and Caddy.

Draper call was right. He dove on it, it came out without anyone tackling him. Hes not in possession anymore. Tex tucked it back in. Draper can laugh all he wants, and its lucky the ump didnt incorrectly pay it as they often do but it was the right call.

Thought he was excellent. Played his role, clean disposal, excellent decision making under pressure, took key marks and won contests outnumbered. Not a single cheap possession. Certainly didnt rack up the ball but I far prefer this version of him, than the one that runs around getting 25 touches...

Soligo is very hard to stop in close. Very strong and clean hands over the ball and has some of the best footwork in the phone box.

He has one of the most well rounded games in the comp. If he can mesh the games hes good in the air and on the ground, he'll have a bag soon. Probably should have had 4 goals last night.

First half he was holding his position a bit more, trusting his team mates to win possess/pressure so we wouldnt leave spares and reading the opposition handball receiver, rather than dog hunting the ball. Third quarter he fell away as the team did and went back to his old ways, but Ill take the...

I thought Parish was pretty ineffective. I will say, it like looks like he is making a concerted effort to improve the physical side of his game.

Big contest in the last, spoiled from being out of position under the ball to prevent a repeat inside 50 for them late. A few nice overhead marks where he's stopped pulling the head in expecting contact. Improving every week.

The odds this round were ****ed. Port, GWS and Geelong as underdogs.

I think Setterfield is overkill. Lacks the mobility of the others, was absolutely ineffective vs Port. If he doesn't catch you at the ball they are out. I don't think he should play midfield minutes ahead of Durham or Caldwell, which is a struggle because he can't play elsewhere. Should be depth...

3. Caldwell 2. McGrath 1. Heppell HM: Durham, Jones, Martin.

Kinda disgusting but we'll take it.

Cox competing from under the ball :cool:

Davey that was hot

McGraths tackling and defensive decision making has been so ******* good tonight.

Gotta kick it.
