Was solid today, slotted right back into the lineup really well.

Ross went at 80% disposal efficiency and had 500 meters gained. I do still feel he’s better suited to playing inside though. With our inside midfield and clearance/stoppage work something that has being exploited over the last twelve months I do think it’s important we give Ross and RCD the...

Ross went at 80% disposal efficiency from his 20 touches, 14 of those were kick. Not sure where the narrative that he had all these turnovers is coming from? I would like to see both Ross and RCD given a run of games playing inside and attending stoppages together.

A really clubman and seems a really wonderful person, you could tell how popular he was throughout the club. Would always gives his all, thanks for your time at the club Garth. Good luck with the future!

You’re absolutely right mate, I acknowledged that in my post. I was referring to a comment saying Riewoldt should’ve already been replaced and we’d already half onto him for to long.

Turn it up mate, Riewoldt just came fifth in the Jack Dyer Medal, third in the Coleman medal and continues to be one of our better players. I completely accept the club needs to have a Riewoldt replacement ready but Jack has continued to perform to high standard. CCJ would’ve of course played...

Lets just wait and see whether he goes first. Remember when Balme has “signed” with Adelaide?

You’ve got to remember that because multiple picks are used so clubs can move up on the order is usually evens it self out by the end of the second round/early third round. For example, Collingwood will need to use at least two or three picks to get Daicos. Yes their first pick will move...

Absolutely right mate, I also think we have a heap of other picks we could already be doing so with too though. My ideal trade given the circumstances would be trading pick 44 and CCJ for pick 20 but I’m not overly sure the Roos would do it.

The tricky part for us is our fantastic draft hand makes another third round pick not overly valuable. We won’t need seven picks in the top 50. I think we’d be best to attempt to upgrade a pick or get a future draft pick. North finishing last and getting the first PSD pick really hurts us...

That’d be a dreadful outcome to lose him for nothing. I think a lot of posters in here aren’t realistic with their proposed trades. If we were able to trade CCJ and 44 for pick 20 it wouldn’t be bad in the circumstances. However, I still really hope he stays, we need him to replace Riewoldt at...

I really hope he stays, in all honesty I cannot remember the last player I wanted to see stay this bad. However, if he was to leave the worst possible club for him to nominate is North Melbourne. They have the first pick in the preseason draft, if we don’t agree to a deal he can walk there for...

There’s absolutely zero chance of this happening mate, it’s good to dream but there’s no way we’re getting Noah Anderson in a deal for CCJ.

I think this is a real shame, I understand he was yet to have a significant impact on an AFL game but not a lot of players in his age have been able to do so for the club yet. A victim of the clubs success, just five or six years ago we seen far less talented players get given far more...

I’d be happy to give him another twelve months, especially if it was just on the rookie list. Whether or not he’s a long term option I think the jury’s still out but I do believe he’s done enough to show he can do a job and hold his own at the level. As much as we all want to have a squad full...

I never said Garth has to stay on the senior list mate, I’m not sure whether the rule has stayed from last year but the AFL introduced the ability clubs have to move a player straight from the senior list to the rookie list without needing to redraft them. As I said in my earlier post I...

For the record I’d like to see Garth stay on for another year as depth, especially with Astbury retiring today. I can completely respect this point of view on the size of the squad and the number of list spots we’ll need to have available with our draft hand. I do however believe that a lot of...

The contract news is really exciting, his talent is unquestionable. We’ve got to ensure he has the appropriate support around him and really get around him of course!

I don’t think he’s have that big of a price on his head just yet, he’s still very young and inexperienced. With the time GWS have put into Briggs/Flynn and what they’ve both shown this year I don’t think they’d need another young ruck. It appears the Suns still have a reasonably tight cap and...

We cannot afford to lost him!!

We simply cannot afford to lose him, I understand the debate that Lynch, Riewoldt and CCJ may make us a little top heavy but with a genuine lack of young talls at the club what are we going to do when Jack retires??

He had 90% disposal efficiency yesterday mate. I can appreciate his kicking technique isn’t the most attractive but it usually has the desired outcome. He of course had the two bad handballs during the Lions game but there hasn’t been any other turnovers. Garth obviously isn’t a rebounding...

I’m not a fan of the Chol and CCJ comparison. I understand they’re both ruck/forwards but I think they’re completely different styled players. For example, I personally believe CCJ is much more of a Tom Lynch than he is Toby Nankervis. I think CCJ is a genuine KPF who can pinch hit in the ruck...

Had a tough last quarter but the least of our problems. I think the mindset around his best role needs to change a bit, he’s not an Astbury or Balta. He just doesn’t have the size to play on those monsters, he’s more of a Grimes/Broad size and better suited to play as a third call. I still...

I was getting at him not covering or running the ground as sexy or graciously as Balta or Rance. Nothing about his efforts or work rates mate, I was positive and singing the praises about him and his performances.

I can understand and appreciate that Garth may not be a future All Australian FB, he's not going to go on and play 300 games or become a superstar of our club. However I've been really impressed by the effort and intent shown from Garth over the last two weeks. His work rate is absolutely...

How have we already seen the best from a 200cm player in six games of AFL? I haven't read this thread for a couple of weeks and some of the comments are absolutely mind boggling, in a season that's yet to see a lot of players perform on previous seasons I've really enjoyed watching CCJ work his...

He’s been in the system for three and a half years, last year was a really tough year for developing players without the VFL. Had he of being playing for a side like North and had a run of games and was able to prove himself then a call could certainly be made on him but we drafted him at the...

He had one more tap than a bloke 9cm shorter than him, that’s far from “dominated”.

I really hate pointing out individual players but he played on Burgess last night, who’s really not a ruckman and only 191cm. Yet he only just broke even with him, he’s now 24 and been in the system got over five years. With all due respect to Burgess, Chol should have absolutely dominated...
