I need a break from watching us

100%. I'm just going to keep living vicariously through GWS' ball movement for (hopefully) the next two weeks, then enjoy six months of not watching men's footy.

 

[Scythe]

Don’t we have pick 5?

Will be likely be Pick 7 after McKay compo and GC matching Walter bid.

 

[MarcMaverick]

I'd rather just spend the next six months pretending we've learnt something

I need a break from watching us

Just pissed off is all. Nothing personal.

I was about to say that. Plus maybe some F/S noms.

I like that instead of a playing in a prelim that we’re debating how many first rounders our best players are worth and having anxiety over whether or not Mabior Chol

Coach sacking threads, trade and draft debates, suggesting players shave their heads to 'toughen up'. It's all very comforting

in totally off Ryley Sanders. I just saw a highlights clip of him from the weekend. Fumbly, sloppy disposals, handballs have too much air time putting team mates under pressure and doesn't really thrive on the inside like you'd hope for an inside mid. Speed is ok, nothing special and his foot skills are ok, not good or bad. I don't see it.

Might not be fair to judge him solely off the highlights of one game. Ball use is definitely an issue, but I imagine he'll be an elite accumulator at AFL level, as he is at junior level. Very good on the inside and has a nice burst of pace coming out of stoppages, though his speed over distance isn't great.

Probably not the type of player I'd be targeting as his issues mirror those of our current midfield, but he'll be a good AFL player.

 

[SugarHealey]

I don't think the Grundy situation was a mistake, they believed it could work, it didn't and now he'll get traded out for a similar pick. The way I look at it is if he had him on a loan for a year, thanks for the service but see you later. It's also business for him, he wants first ruck so fair enough, good luck.

I don't think the issue was with Grundy fails.

I think the idea was to get Maxy playing a mix of deep forward, which didn't turn around. Later in this season Max started to look better in the air, generally. Clunking some marks...

But max was very average following his knee scare. I think this was between the ears with Max. And he got back to his marking best after some talk of this.

We tried to fill two holes with one transaction. It didn't come off.

 

[SugarHealey]

He was one of our best players against carlton. He stood up when it counted.

He has been one of our best, at connecting from midfield to our forwards in free play.
This is the area we have struggled with.

The other is getting the ball forward quickly enough from half-backline, to the spargo hot-spot.

Going long and high down the line, is just dumping the ball in, and allowing opposition numbers to work against us.

 

[SugarHealey]

He's better than Chandler who was fn useless since Round 5. We should have swapped those two much earlier. We don't have enough smart ball users. Spargo is a smart ball user we'd be silly to let him go imo.

When he has enough space and time to get to work. our transition this and last year has been shyte. Again, long, high and slow is foolish.

 

[SugarHealey]

I’m hoping we can get Tom Lynch and Charlie Dixon. With Petty, T McDonald and Brown we’d almost have the full set of KPFs who are cooked/held together with sticky tape.

We don't need Tom.

 

[SugarHealey]

I don't think anybody is suggesting trading pick 5 for a 31-year-old Tom Lynch

No, but thats what it would take, to get it done Scy. That is my issue with it.

Plus I think he's overrated, since I've seen him at the tiges.

 

[The Dr]

We don't need Tom.

We don't need Lynch but we do need Dixon?? [emoji848]

Well moreso, we need to keep our picks for this draft.

If they want to trade Lynch to us for 3rd Rnd pick, then lets dance.

 

[dazzledavey36]

JJ leaving the Dees.

 

[Topkent]

JJ leaving the Dees.

Wouldn't have even given him the satisfaction. Should have terminated he's contract out of spite then left his premiership medallion at the front for Nathan Jones and Neville Jetta to pick up

 

[PerfectFooty]

So, you want to give up on getting some of Duursma, Sanders, O'Sullivan, et al, for someone who is next to over the hill.

Lynch would require our 1st Rnd pick, plus a heap of salary cap we gain from losing TMC, BBB, Grundy etc. A backward step we will feel in about 3 - 4 years, on-field. When we fall off the cliff.

I don't even want Lynch either

 

[Bluelegs]

JJ leaving the Dees.

Surely band one for such a highly sought Premiership superstar

 

[CWaffles]

Thank god JJ is gone.

 

[Topkent]

Thank god JJ is gone.

I know they aren't really related but sums up how shit and boring our coaching is that we let Bedford go and kept this clown. One of the worst MFC players ever

 

[Bluelegs]

Also why on earth would Carlton be after Jordon would be in the exact same situation as us over there.

 

[Bluelegs]

I know they aren't really related but sums up how s**t and boring our coaching is that we let Bedford go and kept this clown. One of the worst MFC players ever

In fairness I'm pretty sure we tried to keep both of them and they have both left for the same reason.

I was never a Bedford fan with us but the way he's come on for the Giants shows we weren't using him properly.

I was happy to let him go at the time but Jordan has played a shit load more games than Bedford. Had Bedford played as many we would still have him

Dunno. I reckon being a half forward and watching Clarry and co roof the ball over your head 50 times a game would be pretty special.
