What constitutes a rebuild in your eyes?
Hes right. Lethers has been doing a substantial rebuild. He basically publicly announced it as such shortly after joining saying he was as in love with the list as others.

Since then he's been churning it hard. With the short term in mind. Now that the list is somewhat stable in terms of seniority I think they're going to hit the youth very hard.
 
I for one never thought that and never wanted those 2 to go.
It was a matter of salary cap pressure and we couldn’t afford them.

I know we have a low amount u21 compared to some clubs but just because you have kids doesn’t mean they are good..
Eg I know the pies and tigers have a lot of youth but a lot of those kids are rubbish.
Our talent in the u25 bracket would be up there with the best.
Steele, Marshall and Billings are only 25.
Our list demo quality gap is still in the older group that’s why we have been bringing in older guys.

its starting to balance out now, need to be going for both experience and youth this year.

I would take RCD from the Tigers though...
 
Do you think our list is better than it was 5 years ago?
I think it has a stable base now of seniority. You have a say a 25 to 28 of players than can push for finals.

Can it challenge for a flag. Probably not.

But there's potential in the under 25s that if we add more to it could do some damage.

That allows us the churn the failings of trout. Which was utterly abysmal.
 
Firstly, looking at my ******* avatar. Front and centre. JB.

Secondly, Because potential is the worst word in football.

so judging Billings on his last 2 years of his big fat deal and he hasn’t performed anywhere near acceptable.

the club has offered him a deal relevant to his output which would be around a similar level to those you think he has outperformed and HE HASN’T SIGNED.

make more excuses for him if you want. But again,he went missing late last year. It isn’t a once off. It isn’t because of injuries. It just is Billings. We have had 8 years of this.
People complain about Membrey not performing.. Billings is the biggest myth/non-performer in this team. Can’t hit targets/kick goals regularly and fumbles under even a little bit of pressure. A half forward’s job is either kicking goals, or assisting goals.. we’ve seen both Butler and Higgins do it, Billings just goes missing. When we need someone to be sure of himself, make something out of nothing, kicking/assisting goals.. he is not there.. He may need a fresh start, but expecting a miracle after 8 years of mediocrity is just unrealistic.

Brodie/Crouch with Bytel in the wings, Dunstan done.

DMAC/Connelly/Billings can cover Ross.

Sharman can take Billings forward role.

Minimal impact, actually better outcome
Can we take a moment to appreciate the growth Dmac has shown this year.

What a year!
 
Could care less if all of Ross, Billings, Dunstan leave. I've seen this movie before, it's boring as batshit at this point. Even if their replacements are worse, at least I'll have some variety in my life.

Reece Conca is available now, is he worth a punt? Would prefer him to Talia personally, but I'm not against Talia. This is only on the presumption that Carlisle and Frawley are gone.
The Herald Sun has an article about Jake, but I can't read it. I gather he's been told he won't get a contract for next year.
God no to conca
 
I hope you dont mean contending for the flag. We are a fair bit off that, if we can get into the 8 for a couple of years running and win a game or two, then we can pick up 1 or 2 top players and our younger guys come on then is the time to start talking top 4 which basically means win 16 games- thats a lot
The thing is how many so called “ “ top players go just as well at their new clubs? So instead of paying top $ for GOPlayers we breed them from within & then yes we can contend for premierships.

His game vs Brisbane last year was enough for me. How many disposals did he have to 3 qtr time.

Since each player lost to Free Agency receives their own, individual compensation pick, then what happens in the event of acquiring a Free Agent, ourselves? For example, if Ross and Dunstan left for two 3rd round picks, and we obtained a player valued at a 2nd round pick, then would that eliminate only one of our 3rd round picks or (nearly) both?

Yep.

So if for example we lost Billings (end of 1st round compo) and Dunstan (end of 3rd round- UFA compo) but picked up Chol (Rich receive end of 3rd round UFA compo) then Dunstan & Chol cancel each other out.

We still walk away with the Billings compo pick.

At least that's the way it was... the AFL are always messing around with that sort of stuff.
 
I don’t reckon he has shown much. He’d be behind bytel.

I know tiger fans have said he is the dusty replacement and graham is Cotchins...
But I think they are flying high and in for a rude awakening over the next few years.

He's been given next to no chances unfortunately. Even when he plays he gets minimal TOG. He'd be my pick of fringe players at the Tigers along with CCJ and Chol.

Should have been cut last year.

just topped up a pension fund and gave him first class health care.

more ruthlessness please.
he would have been on minimum wage of $150k. time you take off tax...
 
Feel for Jake. A few years ago he was playing great footy but was surrounded by players who couldn't cut it. Injuries have robbed him, plus i don't know what was going on between him and Ratts

Wish him well.
His best years were at the bombers , i think his back was stuffed when he came to us , i think he wanted a nice long contract
