Talented winger in space, but small frame means he can't land a tackle when it gets gritty. Would suit a bottom team who needs some class for cheap, but not a contender

Cheers for the info mate

Ripper username too.

Lohmann sub for the lions. Any chance of prying him out?

 

[bullish23]

I’d be all in butters. Could transform us like Neale did the Lions.

Rest is noise.

Seems like a rest thing more than an out of favour thing

Making an assumption that Port keeps Butters to his contract and they refuse to trade him this year...

Sometimes when there's a coach change, things initially get worse (eg transition from Longmire to Cox).

If Port finishes bottom four next year, are they possibly not matching offers and accepting a top 5 compo pick rather than negotiating for an offer of three firsts from us, which could be, say, 14, 15 and 18, or worse?

I think that's a very safe assumption. Id say it's highly unlikely they match if they finish bottom 5, they'd much prefer a top 5 pick than what we could offer them, likely a pick around 14 in 2026 before first rounders in 27and 28 that'll effectively worthless given the Tassie concessions.

I'm confident Sanders will keep developing.

But what I really like is how invested he looks with his team-mates, always a hand on the shoulder at huddles or pre-game warm up, looks genuinely pleased when they kick goals, also at training and club videos transiting through airports, etc. May mean nothing, but our most recent wantaway departure rarely in his past few seasons displayed as much connection and affection with team mates.

We need more high pressure small forwards rather than the flashy Weightman types.

 

[BrisDog]

Lol. Mitch Cleary reporting that Geelong have cap space for two more big players

Cleary drives a Ford Wild track FYI,

 

[BrisDog]

On Geelong read something yesterday about them being in the hunt for Luke Jackson. Apparently his partner has family down that way

The bloke just loves agriculture

 

[geoffjennings79]

Cleary drives a Ford Wild track FYI,

And sleeps on blue and white bed sheets from a well known local brand...

On a separate(! ) note, interesting name for a "loyalty" program...



Apparently 2.3 million of them all have the same address... 370 Moorabool St, South Geelong VIC 3220.

 

[NthBondiDoggies]

People have just been way too harsh on Sanders. He’s a 20yr old who is now pretty firmly entrenched in the best 22 of a likely top 8 team. That’s excellent development by any standard

If we don’t lose him to the cash….sorry go back to the thriving metropolis of Hobart - he will hit his straps and be the perfect replacement for Libba eventually - I hope we never lose Libba but Sanders has is a first possession player and still could be a star - we are too early to write people off. His improvement this year is professional and he is still a kid - more muscle and continued improvement and his trajectory along with JOD and Buss - also written off by some - is just fine.

By that do you mean bull shit?

I actually think this is way more important than people give it credit.

Could we mold Garcia into the Westy position?

I’ve noticed this as well - has a lot of care for those around him, great teammate & person. Reminds me of Treloar. No wonder they seem to get along very well.

wing version of Caleb?

Couldn't possibly be worse that McSteal.

 

[Ash1337]

Pretty sure he's more a VDM type. Pressure forward. He loves to tackle.

 

[immortalmike]

I still don't see it with Sanders if I'm being completely honest. I think his ceiling is basically "solid." A more inside version of Pat Lipinski.

An inside version of Pat Lipinski would be a ****ing superstar.

He lives with the Treloars. Couldn’t have a better role model.

We've already tried twice.
I can't see him leaving

He Re-signed with them for a few more seasons I wouldn’t even bother having a crack a 3rd time
