C Scott is contacted till 2026. Gives us a few years to throw the kitchen sink. Wouldn’t surprise to see him do a Cats 2011 and first year premiership.

The gameplan, players picked and positioning suggest they are at odds with each other. Players leaving regularly, and the fact that Mundy in 2022 averaged more than JOM in 2023. Brodie also averaged more. So instead of rotating Young HB and mid, at times, Brodie and Erasmus have been Non...

Starcevich, both would be an upgrade on Hughes though. Was a mis-match on Hill in the GF, and Bobby showed exactly what is missing here, Dees are still contending for a flag? Lions have self destructed.

It’s what the Cats have done before. Do we need McDonald or would Shannon Neale be a better mix?

We could probably look at the Lions list too. That Vegas trip is sure to upset a few players, interesting that Starcevich only signed a one year deal till 2025. Doubt they make top 4, and Who takes over from Fagan?

What’s worse is when you see Port kick 6 goals in the first quarter against the Pies. Did the Pies go back into their shells? Try to just limit the damage to the scoreboard. No they go on the offensive. They take them on from half back with run and carry, they know they can lose a quarter but...

We were not expecting an ambush. But you can guarantee Shuey had a hand in our demise. We gave them little credit but I think they have had this game penciled in for awhile. Take out about 4 goals from dubious free kicks, it’s closer than expected. But they still would have won a close one...

I wouldn’t be too worried about his size. Bobby Hill is 175cm and was around 60 kg when drafted. He was pick 24, so in hindsight we should have taken him. He won’t last after 40, WC NGA, but has the X factor that we seem to be missing. There are a few options though, I just hope we can get one...

Absolutely, he needs to play as a forward/mid. Not the sub. Not as only a mid. Maybe send Emmett back to Peel Bringing Neil into the mid rotations isn’t working or there is no spot for him. Instruct him to play defensive forward, and tell him does he really want an AFL career? Get him to watch...

Hard to believe that a few on the list haven’t debuted. Let alone the guys who are standouts.

We need people in power who actually have a voice? I’d have to google our board to see who is on it. Someone needs to stand up for the club. No wonder we are a minnow.

Says he could go up the ground like Henry. Walters was exactly this player. Champion is nothing like Henry. He’s been playing against men since he was 15. Seeks out physical altercations, and as long as he can kick over 40m, I don’t see how we could not take him if a available?

Yeo and Kelly have 2-3 good years left. By then their midfield is full of contested Bulls. You can add Hall into that bracket. Also you only have to see what they can do with both the Williams and even Waterman to see they can turn late talls into serviceable players. That’s before O Allen is...

Williams as a mentor would be better than the tripe we are serving up now. Flagmantle is Lucy and Charlie Brown.

Then we will target trades to try and fix what is fundamentally wrong. We are playing a style of game pre 2019. Only way to fix it properly is with an injection of talent, ideas in the box on how to exploit the rules. Only once in our history have we been so ruthless, then it was back to normal...

Play our future midfield/forwards now. Problem is they don’t know who is? Brodie deserves a chance. Offers more than JOM. Waterman leading straight, out in front. That’s how your forwards should play and get the ball down there direct.

It’s pretty obvious that our mids, besides Young are not elite kicks. It’s why I have wanted Fyfe in Hughes position, rotated with Young. Johnson, Simpson, have skills but need game time. I think we have had a reality check and we are in that 8-10 bracket of clubs. Erasmus needs Ryan Crowley to...

Yep it was an ambush, and we just thought we would turn up and take the points. Unfortunately we are slow and a soft underb Was that Hilter youth guy officiating? Margett’s live child is a blatant cheat.

Simpson defending Barrass, then saying he is a good guy. Similar to the Gaff story. I hope we turn the tables on them later in the year. Funny how our guys get accidentally hurt.

Yep, big game players who can stand up under fire. Freo are a nice club though. Maybe new age where everyone gets a participation award. Maybe get Crowley down to the club and run some drills.

It’s pretty bloody obvious that we lack the talent in the box. We either fix it like the Tigers and add the resolve, teaching skills from hardened renowned people. Or we target an experienced coach? Had the perfect chance last year to throw the kitchen sink at C Scott. The first coach sacked...

Yep, it’s why not replacing Carr is a big mistake. WC turned back the clock, I think they have found their Mitchell replacement in Shuey. They hunted us, knew exactly how we would line up. Lost NN in 018, yet their 2 rucks took out Gawn and Grundy with aggression and tagged teamed them. Yeo...

If we were bottom 4, you could see games given to Simpson, Delean, Stanley. Which is fair enough, but we are a work in progress and you’d like to see these kids blooded, at least played as the sub. Fast track the next gen, and played before all the flair is drained from them. You can even look...

You can’t rely on the old boys to turn back the clock regularly. If the coach backs Walters, Fyfe and JOM it will cost him his job. Playing safe, conservative footy only sets us up for long term failure. Midfield forward connection is still an issue after how many years? How anyone can think we...

He needs a rest, or just play him at home if his form warrants it. I’m really worried when Walters, Fyfe, JOM run out of time. We have no one ready to come in. It appears our fortunes are aligned with JLo saving his job, rather than looking at the bigger picture.

Absolutely, we need more in the coaches box. Guaranteed that Shuey at WC has been licking his lips in anticipation to take on a slow Freo. We lack that type of campaigner to do what is required to win at all costs. Instead we trust in our system, etc, with little passion and moderate aggression.

Side definitely lacked speed, and it was noticeable that in pack marks we had no one out the back. That’s selection and coaching, not surprised when you kick 9, 9 and 10 goals in 3 weeks. Can’t wait for winter conditions. This side can play finals, but are we a serious threat? Walters, Fyfe...

Yeah not Today, but you can also add Hall to that list. Dont forget that campaigner Shuey is teaching this young group so id expect some grubbiy tactics too. Yeo and Fyfe to go head to head.

That long an injury list looks similar to when Ross was here for the rebuild.
