B: Reef McInness ~ Billy Frampton ~ Brayden Maynard
HB: Josh Daicos ~ Darcy Moore ~ Isaac Quaynor

M: Roan Steele ~ Harry Perryman ~ Jack Crisp
R: Darcy Cameron ~ Nick Daicos ~ Ned Long

HF: Jordan De Goey ~ Dan McStay ~ Lachie Schultz
F: Bobby Hill ~ Charlie West ~ Jamie Elliott

I/C: Beau McCreery ~ Scott Pendlebury ~ Wil Parker ~ Oscar Steene
Sub: Dan Houston

Without taking in any list changes into consideration.

I would have an ****** for
McInnes
Long
McStsy
Crisp

Those spots should be up for grabs imo.

Without taking in any list changes into consideration.

Hopefully Harvey Harrison can pop up somewhere inside that 23 before we're too far into 2026.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Crisp should be replaced by Allen
Mihocek should be replaced by West
Reef should replace Howe
Harvey Harrison replace Hill (I still assume Bobby is leaving)
Buller can replace either Cox or McStay since we clearly have no interest in playing McStay

Time to start getting gams into these kids

After the turnover festival that was Ned long yesterday I don’t want to see him anywhere near the team again

 

[JLC]

After the turnover festival that was Ned long yesterday I don’t want to see him anywhere near the team again

Someone was telling me Fly went nuts after Lond did the blind handball?

Long needs to develop into a tagger. He should not be kicking the ball.

 

[Chronz]

Someone was telling me Fly went nuts after Lond did the blind handball?

Long needs to develop into a tagger. He should not be kicking the ball.

I think we all went into a blond rage when he did it for the 5th time.

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

Not a bad attempt. I've got Houston ahead of Steele though. Long is a depth player and titch is past it. Looking at that team above reminds me how low our insider stocks are.

 

[doofdoof]

Long would be the ideal tagger. Huge body, great engine and non stop tackling.

We just need Fly to actively deploy that type of player regularly

 

[SwanBet]

Harvey Harrison, Will Parker, Charlie West and Roan Steele are the four guys I can see really breaking into the starting side next year on a permanent basis, and we desperately need that. Jack Buller will be the other one if he joins via trade.

 

[Kes1984]

I’m no “play the kids” person
But I’m now a “don’t play this many old farts in the same side” person

We need a happy balance. We’ve been far too veteran centric and have ignored some younger talent only giving them limited and sporadic opportunities.

The Howe selection last night is a classic example. He’s not played a full game in nearly as long as Bobby Hill. There is no world in which he was the better option to bring into a Prelim, than Wil Parker who had performed well in his absence.

Another is Ed Allan, who was actually given a run of games earlier this year. He got sick and was out. Then couldn’t get back in. Yet he was building in that block.

 

[Jelly Bean]

We can play the kids, but we all have to accept that we will need to drop down the ladder for a few years as a consequence as they develop themselves in the AFL. I think that will happen anyway to be honest.

 

[MoreMoore]

If worst case scenario and Bobby, Brody and Jaimie all go, then I would look at turning Bobby and Reef into Petracca
We have midfield issues and forward issues
Trac and Degoey swapping mid and forward would help a lot
Could go full beast mode and have Trac, Jordy and Beau in center bounce for a burst

FB. IQ. Frampton. Maynard
HB. Parker. Moore. Jaicos
C. Houston. Perryman. Steele
HF. Shultz. McStay. HH
FF. Buller. DeGoey. West

R. Cameron. Naicos. Petracca .

Int. Allan. Mcreery. Crisp Howe. Long

Pendles and Sidey and Cox to play limited games

Still a very solid side using Degoey and Trac to play forward

Allan Mcreery Crisp and Long to play mid with pace and bigger defensive bodies

 

[cfc19902010]

Long is a tease because he’s big and strong ,Tackles well tries hard but he turns the ball over and continuously makes dumb decisions
You can’t carry these guys .. Brisbane showed yesterday how clean you have to be to win these big games

 

[VinnieB]

Why don’t we ever play Houston as a midfielder? He is tough and can play.

I’d be focusing on making him a midfielder over summer.

 

[VinnieB]

Harvey Harrison, Will Parker, Charlie West and Roan Steele are the four guys I can see really breaking into the starting side next year on a permanent basis, and we desperately need that. Jack Buller will be the other one if he joins via trade.

They guys who need to make room for them are the older guys.

Howe, Mihocek and Pendlebury.

I would let Mihocek go, and think we should have let Howe go. Pendlebury on the bench for his final season.

 

[Run n Spread]

From yesterday and at this point trade's draft permitting

In Allen Mcrae West Demattia Jiath Harrison Ryan
Out Cox Miochek Howe Frampton Lipinski Membrey Long

 

[stormskye]

From yesterday and at this point trade's draft permitting

In Allen Mcrae West Demattia Jiath Harrison Ryan
Out Cox Miochek Howe Frampton Lipinski Membrey Long

for the VFL?

 

[Run n Spread]

for the VFL?

Is the 23 that played yesterday going to be there and get it done next PF?
If not you have to be brutal if you don't want to bottom out

 

[stormskye]

We can be brutal without playing vfl players in the afl

 

[Run n Spread]

We can be brutal without playing vfl players in the afl

What's your suggestion?

 

[stormskye]

What's your suggestion?

I’d be playing HH, west, Steele, Parker more.

Outside of them the others aren’t anywhere near ready yet. There’s no quick fix. But we aren’t going to just “play the kids”. We can transition and likely will. Add the young forward from syd.

Thats 5 changes already

 

[Peters_Nuts]

This is on the basis of those who have signed, so unfortunately not including Elliott and Mihocek.

I suspect this is what we’ll plan to roll out with:

Howe Frampton Maynard
Daicos Moore Quaynor
Steele Perryman Houston
Schultz West McCreery
Hill McStay Membrey
Cameron Daicos Long

Pendles, Jordy, Crisp, Sidey, Parker

What I want to see:

• Reef win Howe’s spot
• Harrison become best 23
• Steene get some games
• Allan solidifies a a spot

 

[manicpie]

Unless I'm allowed to include Hobbs, Flanders, caminiti, Curnow and one other, then it will just be the same old. I'm not comfortable relying on HH and Reef coming off recos.

 

[satty]

Following need to become full time starters.

HH
Charlie West
will parker
Ed allan
Reef/Ryan for that 3rd defender spot.
