Well Charlie is about to find out how much the Cats actually rate and desire to get him.
It’s going to be very humbling
Greedy Buggers!

So on the rumoured ins our 2026 line up looking something like this?

Harry Dean - Jacob Weitering - Lachie Cowan
Nic Newman - Nick Haynes - Ollie Florent

Sam Walsh - Patrick Cripps - Campbell Chesser
Marc Pittonet - Jagga Smith - George Hewett

Ben Ainsworth - Hudson O'Keefe - Zac Williams
Ashton Moir - Harry Mckay - Will Hayward

Adam Cerra - Matthew Carroll - Sullivan Robey - Matthew Cottrell - Francis Evans


Not bad but certainly can't see us competing for a flag with that team as it is. Certainly a lot more balanced in terms of outside run and class.
In a few years time however, a lot of those pieces would compliment some of the young talent we've got coming through like Jagga, HOF, Ison, Cody etc.
Pretty confident Kemp and Saad would be in that team ahead of Evans, and one of Carroll or Cottrell. Newman or Dean might be struggling ahead of Carroll at that stage. Moir also not a lock (but we're obviously hoping for the best).

I'd probably boot Pittonet and just graft in the ruck, then keep extra run in the team.

Saad's probably not in these positions if Newman is fit but I get people's point, his decision making when it comes to playing off and connecting back onto his man was poor but then again I pointed out numerous times where Weitering was making the same decisions over and over again. Disconnected when they should have been connected. Perhaps a new defensive coach will be a blessing.
 
Fingers crossed we can get 2 or 3 good picks for Charlie as we have without doubt the worst list of below 25 year olds of teams not contending. We simply have to hit the draft hard prior to Tassie.

Our list has very few players who can run and kick, I am not sure anyone below 26 would get a game for the Lions or most top 8 sides.

Let us hope the blues know they are miles off and don't kid themselves into thinking we are close.

Charlie is a poor big game player and worst of all has terrible body language, the sooner we move him on the better.
 
Saad will be 5th on the bench or sub if they still have one
We will not move forward as a footy club until Saad is no longer in the best 22. His deficiencies were brought forward in the back half of this year and the occasional highlight does not get around his lack of defensive pressure and poor decision making and the constant hoof to no one that puts the entire defence under unnecessary pressure. I am not sure if champion data do a stat on scores caused from turnovers but if they did I would think Saady would be in the top few in the league.

His early re-signing and retention surprised me. Must be a big positive in the locker room. Still has a little to offer, but we can bank on this being his final year.

I don’t have him in front of the emerging kids or Newy. Will be an interesting watch.

None of what i said was a slant on Adam the person, everything I have seen, read and heard suggests he is a great bloke and will go down as a very good footballer who has an All Australia jacket.. however the fact we are still reliant on him as our main playmaker, runner and distributer out of defence is a knock on the list management and coaches that they have not identified anyone better. There is no chance Saad gets a game in any of the sides who played finals in 2025 and we need to move past him as well.

Doesn't matter if we think Aleer is better. We have committed to Buku. Terrible look what Saints have done. I think it hurts them long term.

If Im Aleers management stable I am steering any clients away from them going forward.

Also, Aleer would cost more then Buku in terms of both picks and salary, plus can play forward (Buku provides depth at both ends)

I don't know whether we've told Buku we've got him pencilled in as a defender or not, but believe he can also play forwards.
