Has to be a midfielder with our first couple picks IMO. Pure mids as well, not flankers.

The annoying thing about the Cameron thins is that if you watch the minutes preceding his tackling, he was clearly robbed of 2 free kicks he should have been awarded. Not only was his tackle but it was an intentional release of frustration. The weeks penalty should have remained.

Hugo was immense, as enjoyable a debut as I can remember for some time. Had a big part in us almost snatching the win. As others have said, must start next week.

Really hope he becomes something special and I think he'll be a really handy player. I just think comparing him to legends of the game is premature and may lead to disappointment. Thought he was handy on Saturday.

Why not? Similar size, build and athletic profile. Don't see Darcy having the same game sense as some of the elite youngsters we've seen in early years like Daicos and Sheezel. His disposal is iffy and he makes some poor decisions but you can't deny the effort is there. Dmacs best was very...

If we score over 50 and lose by less than 30 ill be pleasantly surprised. Can't see us getting close tbh. GWS midfield and forwardline are connecting beautifully and I just don't see us having any answers. RTB our most important piece today, if we're to have any chance of being competitive it...

Seeing him compared to Whitfield, Black, Fyfe, Dusty, Harvey, Robbie Flower etc. Are we possibly going a bit early? When I see him the first player that comes to mind is Dan McKenzie.

Yet here you are deciding who is a woke sjw and who is a "thinker" pmsl. I know a hell of a lot of boomers with the same attitude, they have gay or black friends therefore they can't be racist or homophobic, but the second somebody faces any sort of consequence for explicit homophobia or racism...

I thought Battle signed a 6 year deal, was that just a rumour?

Why wouldn't we want Rachele? Would be our best small forward and could go in and play bursts in the midfield (no idea why Nicks stopped doing this). I'd probably rather Philipou, but Rachele has more runs on the board to date.

It is a "name" with a history that has been used to dehumanise an entire subsection of society. If you cant go three hours on a weekend without calling someone that, chances are you're the problem, not wokism or cancel culture or whatever term you're using to imagine your own persecution this...

In: Butler, Caminiti, Hastie Out: King, Henry, Wood Surprised to see the draftee was the one that none of us predicted. Looks likely that all 5 of our 2023 draftees will see some gametime this year, good effort even if we are injury depleted.

Had the same problem myself, I swear it wasn't there before.

I'd have super mixed feelings about it, but Tarryn Thomas would make our side a hell of a lot better. Can rotate through the centre, has pace and skill, can kick goals. If it weren't for his obvious issues he'd be a dream addition. FB: Stocker Howard Wilkie HB: Sinclair Battle NAS C: Wood...

Tom Mitchell yeah? That was just a cordial dropping IMO, he's past his best and will likely be dropped again this season. Writing was on the wall for him last year when he was subbed multiple times, even though he ended up having a good grand final performance. It will be interesting next time...

The other issue that's that come into play are federal funding and gambling partnerships. AFLs funding is linked to being WADA compliant. Whilst there may not be any actual doping going on, it's clearly not in the spirit of the testing regime. I would think that the government would be pretty...

McLuggage as a free agent would be the biggest target surely. I don't see it happening but if we can promise him an onball position and keep him off the wing / half forward lines he might be tempted. Can't see him wanting to leave a contender though so hopefully we can show some form and make...

Don't think many people have mentioned St Kilda after the game tbh. The big story is Collingwoods downfall, not another vulture getting in on the scraps so I get it.

5. NWM 4. Windhager 3. Higgins 1. Battle 1. Steele 1. King

Anybody who thinks Wright's hit was worse than Webster's needs to take the blinkers off. Webster wasn't playing footy when he cleaned up Simpkin, he was just looking to hurt the bloke in retribution for Simpkins high fend off. Wright will cop 4 weeks, nowhere near as malicious.

I wouldn't mind McInerny, he looks a class act whenever I watch him and he's a bit down the pecking order there due to the amount of quality they have. Can't see him leaving, but I think he'd be a good fit for us.

Not optimistic at all about this one, can't help but feel we're going to get smashed out of the middle and we'll be on the back foot for the whole game. Webster is a big loss with Collingwoods dangerous smalls, especially with Stocker potentially still sore. Our small backs are great...

Didn't see that coming tbh

Henry to Garcia, beautiful

Reckon Bonner will be playing round 1

He grabbed at it right away after attempting a tackle and then was with the trainer on the boundary, didn't come back on from what I saw.

Did Windhager just go off with a sore hand? Hopefully nothing in it.

As great as it is that Collard was close ti BOG in the match sim, can't help but get a sense of deja vu with him hitting a couple posters. Really hope he can be a player whose damage on the scoreboard is more than just applying pressure.

VFL players are amateurs by definition... they're not professionals, most of them have full time jobs. Weird hill to die on.

He's been sent down to train with amateurs to "bridge professional standards". When was the last time this happened? If it was purely about a lack of tank we would have seen the same for Keeler and Heath. This is clearly a disciplinary manoeuvre. Now I'm not not saying it's a career ender by...
