why are we playing hamil over him lol

Shameful post, he deserves some respect for what hes done in the past. Laird's been a champion of the club, been one of the most consistent players in the past decade. 2xAA and was very close to a 3rd 2 years ago. He's 30 now and players have gone passed him as he's regressed. His time in...

comes back to the list. jones, mchenry, sholl, cook, gollant, mchenry, hamil. is there a worse bottom 6 in the league?

foot injury of some sort

Gollant is not up to it. What is Hamils role? He can run and carry but we rarely see it. I don't see it with him but he had a few good defensive efforts Laird looks done. Doesn't really add anything anymore. I'm sick of McHenry. His tag on Merrett was him tugging his jumper off the ball...

Just ditch whatever picks it takes to get Luko. He has been vocal about wanting to play forward. I'd even move Fog on if it mean getting him.

A bit annoyed Crouch got done but 1 week is fine, could have been 2. He essentially elected to bump which got him in trouble. It was more in the side but close enough for the MRO to say head on. Butters actually clipped the players head and flew past the ball but they still said he contested...

Laird probably feels entitled to play midfield, he’s carried our midfield for 3 years. He was on SEN in preseason saying the kids will just pinch hit. We need to play this guys to their strengths. Laird at HB has been retired, he should take McHenrys role where he can still win the footy...

Great win. Took Dawson out the middle more which helped. Berry was unreal in the last 10 minutes. Only negative tonight if there is one is we need a healthy 34 year old Walker to win

AFC still refuse to make hard calls, only chance it happens is when sh hits the fan like 18/19 where the whole joint implodes. Hardwick has made more tough selection calls in 4 weeks than Nicks has made in 4 years. Tell Rory he’s not required Send Smith to the sanfl See what we’ve got with Nank...

The positives are Soligo finally looks great, we have no youth stepping up in the midfield bar him. Keane is a great pick up, has his moments but hes so far ahead of Butts and Borlase. Nank was solid and need to persist with him. Walker didnt look cooked like last week. Thats about it for...

Are you serious? Peldar midfield? He has no right to be in the team let alone a midfield spot. Earn it or f*** off.

Rankine was the most special talent to come out of the state in a long time, we hadn't seen a prospect like this since Wingard. 2022 was quite open after Wardlaw went. We could have gone Philipou but I have no issue with the club taking Rankine.

Rankine was well worth pick 5. He isn't even playing well and he's still our best forward.

I can't believe he is in the leadership group. He signed that long term deal and his conditioning looked poor when he came back, was injured 2 years straight. Not only that he refused to play anywhere other than down back.

He looked good in preseason. Give him a chance at least. Whats the point of persisting with Murphy and McHenry.

Wasn’t his best game but was the scapegoat when the heat was on the midfield

Might pull some receipts in this thread

Milera out for Nank Murphy out for Dowling Pedlar out for anyone Curtin in as soon as he’s ready I know this board is bearish on Berry but I’m not opposed to giving him a stretch of games to properly see what we’ve got.

Call Dean Cox ASAP

Everyone is upset by this year? We're going to get a top 3 pick and a new coach. As much as Nicks is to blame, this is largely a product of s**t recruiting. drafting 0 elite mids, 5+ first round busts, drafting poorly skilled players. Our recruiters are massive frauds. Our forward line isnt...

One arm in the air Walker is back. Either cooked or injured

please stop putting pedlar in this bracket, he sucks as a midfielder

Is it the midfielders fault we sat the ball on Tom Stewarts head all night? We have zero outside class right now aside from Soligo coming back from injury. The game is all about ball movement now, everyone knows this. We don't have anyone who can reliably kick inside 50 or reliably move it from...

Everyone seems to be blaming the midfield. We have severely failed at drafting top end mids in this 6 year rebuild. Laird/Dawson/Crouch worked late last year and its not the entire reason the team is failing at the moment. Yes we need to lower Laird's time and put someone else in there more (It...

I don't blame him for playing Crouch/Dawson/Laird midfield. Rachele hasn't looked up to it as a midfielder this preseason and Pedlar looks a mile off. We need Rankine forward more than midfield. At least Nicks is trying him in spurts. Berry struggled tonight. I think its possible he comes good...

Wow what a braindead extension. There was no rush. He might be the man, he might not. But there was no reason to extend, the football will do the talking. We are so poorly skilled. Dropped marks all night, fumbles constantly. Ironically the guy Nicks gave up (Crouch) was the only one who had...

Seriously? He's in our top 3 tonight and he's been on off the ground for a 3rd of the game.

Midfield not really the main issue. GC midfield is better than ours, the AFL gifted them Flanders and Anderson for free. Our outside ball use is dogshit. All best teams now have strong outside/rebounders. Jones, Hinge, Smith, Sholl, Milera are all capped at being soldiers.

All facts.
