I thought this briefly yesterday, then gave myself an uppercut.

There was a video out there yesterday of him ignoring his captain's post game speech and distracting other players during it. Seems like such a major flog. Not sure he'd pass the "no dickheads" policy, but also, maybe that's a good thing?!
We don’t have a no dickheads policy. We’ve had more walk through our doors than any other club.

I truly don't get people's happiness with Jones's 1 year contract. He offers nothing at any level.

AFL:
4.5 disp
1.3 Tackles
7.3 pressure acts
3 defensive pressure acts

VFL:
5 Goals 5 behinds from 8 games
15 disp
2.4 Tackles.

I can't see him making it.

Compare it to Dahlhaus' season 1 - 3.
Season 1:
11 games
11 goals 7
15 disp
4 Tackles a game

Season 2:
17 games
13 goals 18
17.5 disp
4 Tackles

Season 3:
22 games
28 goals 18
16.7 disp
4 Tackles
He was sub or subbed most if not all of the games he played in this year,

He came on half way through the 3rd had 6 touches and kicked 2 goals

Dahlhaus had no class was a hard running small forward
 
I see that VDM has resumed his role as this boards villain de jour.

People seem to forget that he was playing some pretty good football until he tapered off over the last third of the season.

The biggest knock on him around these parts is his lack of composure.

Well I see your VDM. And raise you a RILEY GARCIA.
Both and throw in a Mc Neil
 
We’re already linked (via opinion) to May today on herald Sun.

Dear God, he'll be 34 years old at the start of next season. Let's get Lachlan Keeffe and Pendles too. All gettable. Better still, let's bring Charlie Dixon out of retirement and turn him into a KPD.
 
Steven May.

Shit bloke, good footballer but can barely bend down and pick up a football.

Got taught a lesson by Isaac Keeler this year who took a dozen contested marks on him and kicked 3. Not the only time he was soundly beaten this year.

I'm happy for the club to trade him away but I don't see him as a fit for your club culturally and also just how over cooked he is.

Butts
Borlase
Weitering (pipe dream)
Silvagni
Blanck
Serong
Ballard
Aleer
Derksen
Lever
Petty
Balta
Blight
Wilkie (pipe dream)

There are plenty of options for us to chase
 
The problem with Balta is that he's so incredibly low IQ. If anyone watched how he defended Darcy earlier this year, it was beyond belief.

He's still only 25 but you don't magically improve your IQ.
everyone has low IQ when defending Darce! When he is on and we actually kick the ball to his advantage he is virtually unstoppable

If we can’t winkle a decent KPD out of the off season meat market maybe we have to get creative.

Croft to defence?
Smith to defence?
Smith to ruck and English to defence?
Naughton to … naah just joking! 🤣
 
We may as well extend Jones for 12 months, same outcome both look cooked
Exactly

Part of the reason we're in this mess as a club is because we relied on the key defenders (Jones, Keath) from other clubs to maintain their form into their early-mid 30s.

Next year could be the year that May drops off at his age, at the Dogs or otherwise.
