Maybe 3 with Battle, Perryman, and potentially Cumming at this stage, with probably another couple to come as well. It’s not that far off the mark unfortunately!

B:- Michaelanney. Murray. Worrell HB:- Hinge. Keane. Cumming C:- Dawson. Crouch. Sholl 1R:- O’Brien. Rankine. Soligo HF:- Rachelle. Fogarty. Keays F:- Walker. Thillthorpe. Neal-Bullen Int:- Curtin. Nankervis. Taylor. Pick 4 Sub:- Pedlar

Surely if they do miss out on Perryman, they won’t trade Houston just to bring in Lukoscious? Does not help their team try and compete again next season.

There shouldn’t be any compensation, its not free agency when every team then plays a price by having draft picks moved back.

This feel appropriate for where we’re at right now!

He looked disinterested being back there!

Good thing we start preseason in a few weeks then?

I would like them to develop him as a ruckman who can push forward, his size and aggression in the middle would be an asset.

I’m guessing ANB?

And if they can’t handle the noise of coming out of contract and think it’ll be too much of a distraction, how are these same people ever going to cope with the noise and pressure if we ever find ourselves going into big finals in the future??? It sums up our whole mentality to me……we are weak!

And the undeserved arrogance and self importance that apparently goes along with our mediocrity.

Our whole media team need to go along with everyone else, we are so bad at defending ourselves and portraying ourselves positively, we constantly allow outside media to take cheap shots at us and just take it, we conduct train wreck interviews that portray us as completely amateur and we have...

Please be Sam🙏

In 12 months time we’ll be probably dismissing Sharp and saying we need to position ourselves for the gun SA mid available in 2026.

With Soldo seemingly keen to get to STK, where does that leave Max Heath in the pecking order? Is he ready to play regular AFL football? Delist Strachan and pay him out - can’t run out a full game after 5 years!!! Bring in someone like Heath who is hopefully ready to put real pressure on ROB.

I feel like we hold our senior players in a reverence that they do not deserve and hang onto them for far too long. We treat Brodie Smith like he’s Pendlebury, Laird likes he’s Selwood etc, we can’t image a possible outcome that they were at best good solid players who have hit a cliff in their...

Potentially ends up as steak knives in the Barrass deal? Another reason you should think really really long and hard about taking a KPD in the top tier of the draft.

So it was done privately, not on tv and radio consistently bashing a young player?

Was it done publicly on a consistent basis? Was it done by senior players from his own side publicly (who have absolutely no right to question the performance of others) Or was it done completely behind closed doors, then spoken about years later?

I would have thought that delisting earlier could also give the player a chance to look at getting picked up as a DFA, which can be an attractive option for other teams as they don’t have to pay for them with any draft capital.

The evidence of this is…………. I see a coach who refuses to take responsibility for poor performances and decisions and constantly blames the players. Was he putting the team first when he consistently let Rachelle be humiliated, including by Rory Laird???? The best/only way to fix a club is...

How do you think our midfield went this year compared to the opposition midfield? Do you think it consistently won key metrics and helped us to win games?

Soo frustrating that our batsmen can’t build an innings in any meaningful way, we’ve got a really strong pace attack who always seem to keep us at least almost competitive. I saw an interview that Harris did about the season and he was talking up JFM as an opening option who could replace...

When we collapse we collapse hard!!!! Surprised that Sangha wasn’t selected for the first game.

Also Hunt has really lost all judgment on when to drive and when to leave!!! The amount of front foot swipes to deliveries that should have been played off the back foot was staggering, he’s made himself so vulnerable to any movement from the ball.

Yep we’ll be back here in 20 minutes and the scoreboard will be 8/120 or close to it.

4/37 Got to love the consistency of this team!

And the coach being welded to players who aren’t capable of helping the team to improve and don’t help with our structure, is also a massive issue.

I could see him playing a role with a coach like Hardwick given the success he had with the Costanga etc type during their premiership years, but that’s just wishful thinking now.

Luko on one wing and Curtin on the other with Sholl/Dawson rotating through as well. Next year Luko moves forward permanently to complement Fog and TT.
