Doesn’t play tall, not particularly fast, can be questionable defensively. WAFL is his level, he’ll look good there, but kicking some goals in the worst state league of the big 3 isn’t going to make recruiters come knocking at his door.

Kicking 3 goals for a few weeks in the WAFL is nothing particularly special. He won’t find a new home and we won’t regret letting him go.

Dawes had a knee reco as a junior, can’t remember if it was his draft year or the year before. Either way it didn’t stop us drafting him.

Not neccessarily. In fact I’d argue we recruited Eyre specifically because we knew this might happen. You need to remember that we still have Frampton, Dean and Eyre (who will be back in a matter of weeks) competing for that second key defence spot. Adding Sof, who performed more poorly during...

Thanks for everything Murph. Big loss for the club, he had become such an important part of our defensive unit.

Yes I’m sure Tom Lynch is regretting those two premiership medals he has. I’m sure Lippa wishes he stayed at the Dogs because loyalty. 🙄

They also have 2 forwards in Naughton and Darcy who are very good defenders. Given they still will be eventually trying to get Croft in to that forward line too, it would make some sense for one or even both of those guys to swing to defence for team balance. I honestly don’t think they’ve got a...

Ease up Dougie, we need you to go outside the top 20 (assuming they lower the cut off again)

Offering him a contract is one thing, him signing it is another. With the Dogs glut of talls it wouldn’t surprise me if he decides it would be best for him to look elsewhere.

Just because he’s at playing weight doesn’t mean he automatically has the neccessary core strength to compete as an inside mid. Not a lot of 19 year olds do.

Dunno what game you were watching, but Allan was solid all game I thought. and no he didn’t get half of them in the last quarter, he had 8 disposals in the first quarter alone.

He was ok, but nothing about him screams AFL level KPP.

She didn’t at any point say never. And her assessment was likely on the mark, no matter how badly you want it to not be.

Jeez even our VFL boys are getting in to the heart attack finish game.

Stop it.

That was *ing high!

How is driving a bloke in to the behind post not rough conduct.

Doesn’t help that they’ve got a bunch of blokes in fluro playing for them

How the * was that a late bump? It literally affected the kick

He looks a ripper doesn’t he?

Based on this admittedly extremely short sample, I’m struggling to understand why we took Bytel ahead of Long in the preseason.

Those are the kind of numbers Witts was putting up in the VFL in his final year with us. Whoever gets Moyle will be getting a quality ruckman, likely on the cheap.

There will be plenty of players putting their hands up to leave the dogs this year if Bevo remains imo. Bloke is cooked, some of the decisions he’s making, both in regards to selection and on field moves are bizarre.

You really enjoy being dramatic, huh?

Your minimum wouldn’t even get the dogs to pick up the phone lol

I find it weird that everyone is taking the guesswork (yes, they basically said they were guessing) of a couple of journos as gospel in terms of what our trade plans are.

I hope so, it would somewhat make up for the loss of this years first rounder in the Schultz trade

To be clear, I haven’t currently got a definitive stance on our coaching setup. I’m just saying that it’s not unreasonable to suggest that the changes from last year might have had an adverse effect on how our playing group is currently performing.

Lots of coaches have been around for years. That doesn’t necessarily make them good. Leppitsch and Bolton were both regarded as two of the best assistant in the business when they came to Collingwood. There’s a reason for that. Will our new line coaches find a way to bring our boys back to the...

There’s only so much influence you can have from the background. At the end of the day the new line coaches will have their own style and will connect with the playing group in their own way, which may not necessarily be as effective as another coach despite trying to send the same message.
