Like Simon Black, he doesn't rely on pace. His game is built around reading the play and being clean. I think he will be able to perform to a high level at 33. Might even play a year or two after that.
Another Schache situation you reckon?Doesn't mean anything. He's probably still going back to W.A at the end of this year, he's just looking after the club trying to make sure we can drive a better deal![]()
To be fair the whole team was below average in those last years Black was still one of our best playersBlacky was pretty average in his last couple of years

Do we though, like I always encompassed Robertson as our long-term replacement for Lyons in the future, so maybe if he has a excellent pre-season next year and Lyons has an interrupted one, maybe it might just be a like for like replacement in the AFL team come 2023, with Ashcroft coming in as that additional player in our pure midfield heading into the future.
Oh wow, that's massive.

Depends on how the club feels our best midfield would be, especially with Robinson most likely retiring at the end of the year as well, meaning multiple voids would need to be filled.
In regards to who would fill Robertson’s spot now in the future, most likely it would be Ashcroft given how highly rated he is but I personally don’t think we need another pure midfielder to replace that spot and maybe it might be Lohmann could be one that might help our F50 or Prior/Ah Chee if we need to improve our D50 work.
Maybe we could use the dollars we save on McStay to make a play for Jacob Hopper.Great news about Neale. Now we just need to pick up Ashcroft. You would have to think having Neale resigning helps. McStay leaving saves us a few dollars too.
Oops sorry my badHow did I get get quoted for something I didn't say???

Neale is our next Captain.It's less about how he is playing in 2026 and more about committing to the club, both in terms of influencing Ashcroft but also other potential draftees/trades.
I don't think that is much of an issue, Lachie is the ultimate professional when it comes to preparation and recovery, David Mundy still going pretty well at 36 years of age.
At work. Remind me tonight.Have you watched much of Jaspa Fletcher briz, wondering if you think he would be an upgrade on those wings you mentioned... then there is always Harry Sharp if he develops well. Do you know much about the academy boy S.Brain, I can't find much about him online.
Agreed - if anything his trouble was getting on the park, not the standard of his game.More than serviceable (and occasionally still polled Brownlow votes) in a very bad team and continued to set standards.
