coming to us in 2026, the tea leaves seems pretty clear.

 

[Not a Psycho]

I know I’ll probably get shot down but what I have seen from Logan’s general field play I reckon he could roll thru the midfield in the coming years. He has exceptional vision, skill and hardness. This could allow Ty to also play in the same team with timed rotations.

Could happen in a weaker side, but if you've already got Wash starting on the bench most games I doubt there's much benefit to us.

Morris in the midfield is up there as one of the most bizarre calls in footy history.

Carlton looks like they're about to blow up their team Mckay might be available.

I wouldn't mind trialling hipwood as a winger.

We've got wingers who are doing well and only one CHF.

Beats me.

I meant next year when we sign OA and Daniher comes back.

Daniher ain't coming back.

 

[Viceregal]

Daniher ain't coming back.

Nods but even as an hypothetical what would be the mechanism that would even get him onto our list?

Center half back !

Probably just sign him during the SSP right?

Fages confirmed on Agender Setters that big O has a degenerative back issue, I think this is his last year. Sounds like the medicos are just trying to manage him to play short term

Did Fagan say it could be his last year or just your take on it.

Just my take. The fact we are going after no.1 rucks is telling though. Hard to come to any other conclusion

 

[morsie]

No doubt he might be able to, but I remember we rolled Jono Brown through the centre in about 2005. He was quite effective but if I recall he picked up some injuries which put an end to it to preserve his career long term.

It’s a lot of bash and crash and I’d prefer to play someone with his skill set in the front half where his impact is maximised.

Brownie was unstoppable but osteitis pubis

I was keen on it early in his career. Certainly not anymore !

Most people above 30 have some kind of degenerative back issue. So that wasn't much of a revelation and I interpreted it as a bit of spin from Fages to end the line of questioning. I think there is more going on behind the scenes with O than what is publicly being said. That's my take.

If O had a potentially career ending back issue, Fages wouldn't be confirming or even hinting at that publicly mid-season, IMO.

 

[p4p1]

I think Hipwood likes to be involved in the play more and the more he touches the footy the better we play.

I don’t actually see Gardiner as a swingman. He is not a great forward. Yes he can be thrown each end but he is a backman.

I would almost say hippy is a better back than Dizzy is as a forward. Definitely would have a higher ceiling as a backman than Dizzy as a forward.

Pav did it and played 350 games. So it can be done. Probably best to use when either you need to bring a forward into the game or give the oppo a different look in the middle because the current setup isn’t working.

Fages also said that Oscar was unable to play footy for the weeks that he was injured. Will be catching up wih him this week to see how he's pulled up after the VFL.

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Just my take. The fact we are going after no.1 rucks is telling though. Hard to come to any other conclusion

Considering he's been playing reserves and has a year left on a contract I think it's easy to come to other conclusions, like both our ruckman are over 30 so need to look at other options.

 

[Sproj]

It would be so sad if we win it again but Oscar just couldn’t get back because of his ailments.

 

[Sanchez365]

Morris field kicking has been so impressive, I have also questioned if he could be a tall midfielder that rested forward, similar to Bont. His tank doesn't seem insanely impressive right now but it's still early days for him I suppose. We are pretty stacked midfield wise but he would bring an interesting point of difference with his height. Would also fit our game plan where we like to use Dunkley / Berry as a bail out kick on the wing from defense alot.
