So good to have him back out there.

We are so privileged to see these…..and by golly l really want this kid to succeed.

 

[Hojuman]

Please God, l could rattle off some names here ( Smith, Harper, Garner, Perez, Vickers-Willis, Walker and more )
But for once in your omnipotent eternal universal existence, can you give North a break ?

What one did we call on for Robbie Tarrant…..better get Saul to put in a to the same one…
But yes agree….sick of seeing talent ruined by reoccurring problems

19 disposals at 78% and 4 marks yesterday.

Let him cook

Such good news. Tested the Achilles a few times with some cuts and turns. Desperately need him healthy.

 

[muttley45]

Seemed to get through the whole game unscathed, one more solid hitout in the VFL v Geelong next week, and he would be a good chance to return to senior's

No problem, that is what we're very good at, almost say it's our natural bias.

Would be a good inclusion in the seniors. We have been crying out for a player like him (ala Miles Bergman - PAFC). A smoky for the last 2-3 games perhaps. Depending on form and fitness, glad that the club made the decision to extend his contract beyond this year. Hope Goater can stay injury free from now on

We really need Goater and a few others to kick on and do well. I don’t want to say ‘repay our faith after injury’, because that sounds transactional, but would be really nice….

If Goater and Archer can stay on the park consistently next year it completely transforms our defence.

I hope the club is looking across the 4 corners of the world at every available treatment and rehabilitation options for these two blokes. Obviously whatever we are doing here is not working.

Sometimes bodies are just not cut out for it no matter what you do.

Here's hoping Josh is more Robbie Tarrant than he is Taylor Garner, by this time next year we'll know the answer.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Love for him to get back to the level but doubts abound in his ability to stay injury free are still there.

His athleticism doesn't look to have been overly impacted. Do you think it's worth having a look at him at AFL level this year if he can string a couple of games together at VFL level?

 

[speedy]

I wouldn’t subject him to seniors until they gut the footy department. Or Wardlaw for that matter. FOS, Kerch, Hardeman, WDawson & Sheezel could all do with having early ends to the season too. It’s doing them no good playing in this shit full team.

In fact they should strike. Force the clubs hand, sack this footy department before they ruin their careers.

At this point Chom has done it (so far). Goatboy and the other George doing the same would change alot about where we are at.

Has to be a minumum of a month in the VFL before he's considered for senior selection, needs a really solid block. So maybe the last couple of games in the seniors?

We should bring the bloke in from the Bombers who just got the ar*e

Goater, Archer, FOS, McKercher. All rotating through half back and the wings

As long as wee Daniel nee Dinkers GTFO I'm happy.
Fancy playing that ****ing dwarf every ****ing week. He's like 2 metres of Peter. I assume Peter kicks the ball 2 metres as well.

 

[shinboner magic]

Two more weeks of building his match fitness

[DuckYeah]

By product of achilles injuries.. hopefully right for pre season.
