I don't disagree with most of that. Your drafting would have to be absolutely on point though.
Would you have signed Stephens/Fisher for less years? Darling? Parker?
Likely Simpkin leaves to get that contract elsewhere, so likely a trade/FA situation in that alternative.
What domino effect...
Agree there will be a shuffle going on given Logue/Chom/Mattlock/Wawson down back. But I hope we're thinking about the replacement of Darling, Pink, Teakle and Kal Dawson soon enough. Add at least one key forward to develop at VFL level this draft imo and ideally add McCartney in 2026 if he...
The funny thing is he doesn't even care about using the pick in the "overrated" draft every year.
He wanted to trade for a mature key forward that isn't really on the market because most will end up re-signing with their existing clubs and none of them are worth pick 2 anyway. Basically he'll...
I think we'll have to draft it. The FA/Trade market is a bit thin as most will re-sign with their clubs imo.
It might be someone we have already (Chom, Mattlock, Goad, Maley) but given we tried to get Jack Whitlock as well suggests we are after a genuine key forward. The development this year...
Most of your criticism is fair. We haven't been flying given our results the last 5 years.
We'll likely still be bottom five even with 5-10 wins given the young age and experience profile of the group.
Obviously I'd like us to get as many wins as possible but we'll still be balancing giving the...
Must admit he didn't stand out to me a few weeks back at training, but it was tight spacing.
Goad stood out more with his movement, but both still a bit raw and still learning the footy IQ and craft.
But it wouldn't surprise me if one or both rapidly develop quicker than we think learning off...
Your general point is fair, but last I checked Viney is not the list manager responsible for player contracts.
And trading out the future 1st, only time will tell as to whether it was a good move, largely dependent on Mattlock's development and what we do with the Tigers 2025 R2. But yes easily...
Very true. This was the reaction to the Zurhaar, Larkey and Simpkin pressers last year. "You said we'd play finals" or "were sick of losing" blah blah blah. The media and membership department's would've copped the most abuse, perhaps staff resigned or it's under resourced. The club may have...
You've obviously forgotten who his first coach was. Bard didn't have any time for that rather strangely.
"Flying the flag is just crap," he said.
Scott suggested there was an easy way for fired-up players to prove their toughness on the field: rise above it.
"Push and shove is not tough. It's...
There's still some learning or growing pains when people take over as captain.
I'm sure Sheez will make some mistakes whenever he takes over whilst he's making his way.
That's all part of growing your leadership ability.
