Toast No. 7 Heaven: Wanganeen-Milera inks new extension

[Joffaboy]

On a serious note, amidst all the euphoria of him resigning, he is the type of player a club of our size and relative unimportance just has to sign.

For us to compete we need to nail our high draft picks and then keep them. To lose Nas after 2 years would have been disasterous for us as a club.

There is talk we pocketed 750k from Saturday night. Great stuff, until you remember the big 4 in Melbourne the Adelaide and the Perth clubs get that at least once if not twice each and every year with their annually gifted blockbusters. The likes of us and North and Bulldogs get left behind or the twilight spot on Sunday against Fold Coast to make you know 10 grand from gate receipts.

For us to become successful, we need to keep these players, then we get others maybe attracted to us and not the big clubs all the time. We are fortunate we have put the place back together. Finnis has done a great job with Moorabbin, the current admin is getting the books back in order, the President and the CEO seems switched on, we have revamped the whole coaching department led by favourite sons and a premiership winning Cats player and topped off by RTB.

Things are looking up, but the fact is we will always struggle and be at a disadvantage. Most of our squad had not even played at the G or in front of 70,000, the likes of Brad Hill and Zaine Cordy

needed to talk to the players about how to handle it. We have had 14 games at the G in something like 10 years, some interstate sides play there more than us.

So we need to sign Pou next. Keep these kids together, we have the basis of youth under RTB that can take us places.

Keeping these players and improving as a list and club will net us more games at the MCG, I’ve always thought we play the MCG well, we have another game this year their vs Richmond which could end up being a massive game given who we should have back by then.

The better we get, the bigger the crowds, the bigger the games it’s really that simple! Re-Signing these young studs goes a long way to making all this a reality.

We’ve also got an abundance of SA boys in the side, one is our VC, Highmore, Pou, Keeler, Hayes like there’s no real reason to leave?! Great young nucleus, great coaching staff, club seems in a really good spot at the moment

100%, but the only way to improve on this way in a sustainable fashion is to win games of football, to play finals, to win finals, and ultimately to win premierships. There is no doubt we have a large but dormant supporter base which could realistically be tapped into if we give them something to get excited about.

How did King look? Lethers said on RSN that he'll be back mid year... something's not lining up, was slated to return round 6...

Seems very likely that they've decided to make sure he's got super-solid conditioning by the time he runs out for an AFL game, just like the rest of them.

Think about our gameplan at the moment. It's based on running and effort and pressure. We've really benefited from Pou and Mitch and Hammer pushing up all game. If Max was underdone and couldn't get out of the 50 in the second half of games then that would hurt us a bit.

Cool but it's a one-off, clearly not repeatable so can't be budgeted for in the future. We have a slight bump this year (~1.7% of revenue) but after this it reverts back to baseline.

Also, thank * the South Australian clubs are both currently shithouse.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

let’s hope we can get him to extend his stay beyond 2025. Offer him whatever

 

[hayes]

Don’t care who PM’d who this is awesome news. I’d just accepted that the last two years of development would be wasted and we’d have to start again with another draftee which would just delay everything. Massive win on so many levels.

 

[tomjoad]

Glad Nas was able to see beyond his homesickness.
Good things are happening.

 

[Ekomaira]

that's a bottle of champagne right

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Never ever in doubt

I think Adelaide could turn their situation around soon. Rachele, Rankine, Dawson, Thilthorpe, McAdams, Fogarty, Doedee are all quality. Other young players that may yet come on. A few of their older players are really just there to help their younger players get up to 50 odd games experience. If they nail an off season trade and draft wise they could be a good team again soon.

Port did the Rozee, Duursma, Butters draft, has set them up nicely. Not saying our lads have shown as much but we have the Nas, Mitchi and Windhager draft with a dollop of cheap Higgins trade thrown in.

Adelaide are coming
They have some good youth.

Pains me to say it

 

[stavro#4]

Interesting title to select for those that doubted Mowman

 

[CursingFijian]

This all suggests that we are playing the long game with the injuries and not rushing players back for a quick result. Not an approach we've tended to adopt in previous years.

It's great for the players involved, and it shows the maturity of the decision-makers. And it means that all going well, we may just be cherry ripe and full strength for a serious assault on the back end of the season.

It not only speaks to the depth on our list, but that the new coaching panel is absolutely prepared to back it in.

Building a killer forward line. #1 in the comp for converting inside 50’s into scores or goals. Midfield needs a lot of work though.
