The fact Chandler finished 8th in the BnF suggests his role is more than kicking goals.

I don't rate him that highly but he's doing a lot right from the coaches POV.

Would rather play 1 of our mascots chuck or checker.

Oh please. I've had my frustrations with him but a pressure forward in a team that can't even break 40 inside 50's some games and when the do it is slow, down the line, all just to setup a long, high bomb into the fwd pocket.

Most of the time it is him and Pickett chasing about 6 blokes because we have a combination of too many talls and slow mid sizers who don't lay tackle.

High & long a good small forward would be front & center 23 games 18 goals time to find a new roll with in the team.

Front and centre with 20 other players because we go soooo slow and predictability down the line that opposition has time for a toilet break and snack before camping in our forward line.
 
A strong performance from Sam Lalor who like many others was forced to embrace a change in role for the balance of his team. He played the first half in defense and looked comfortable back there, able to use his physicality to out muscle opponents and picking his moments to leave his opponent and attack the game. In the second half he played his more customary midfield role, dominating at stoppage with his tough tackling and winning four clearances for the half.

 
Pickett manages to get to the right spots.
Pickett is in a different league compared to most small fwds and he has still gone completely missing for whole quarters and even entire games this year because of how we play.

Role players like Chandler are also often tasked with trying to free up guys like Pickett by putting on blocks, running through to create space behind and other sacrificial plays.
 
Trade period needs to be a week max, so deals actually get done and there is some sense of urgency to move things along.

Think this may be the slowest trade period ever. Other than Richmond trades and Houston there is absolutely **** all happening across the board.

Clubs signing players to long contracts more and more will do this, less coming out of contract each year.

Create space behind you said we just go long to the pocket. He’s not up to AFL standard maybe a good rover at VFL.

Nothings changed since it used to be a single week. 90% of the deals still get done in the last couple of hours.

Trade radio smashing Ginnivin and Watson for cancelling a kids clinic at the last minute the morning after their B&F.

They should be smashing whomever organised it. Early morning after the B&F and you pick 2 young guys? Poor planning and surely players can go enjoy that night without commitments the next morning in the longest AFL year ever.
Wasn't through the club apparently. Smooth cash on the side then woke up hungover.

I have no facts to back up the second statement.
