Hearing that Joe would have retired had we won last year, and reflecting on how vital he was in helping get us there this year, make me even more appreciative of him, and happy to know he had no more (mentally) to give.
Certain we have the squad depth to give it a shake next year, and the team...
thanks that was embarrassing we really do, it would be hard to not resent a delisted 1 year contract player a spot in that team as it would be at the expense of someone really promising.
Maybe Oscar rucks only 50% and lurks in the square defenders would give away heaps of frees desperately chopping his arms, and O would give a whole hearted contest bringing plenty of ball to ground.
So tracked down the you tube podcast Broden Kelly the footy, previewing the grand final.
Max says Brisbane by far the best equipped to cover the loss of their ruckman, says Darcy Fort the best 2nd ruck in the AFL by a country mile, he immediately goes on to say we also have the best young...
Am told their is a podcast called the footy with Broden Kelly, courtesy of oppo supporter in our best 22 thread.
Max Gawn was on as a guest and unprompted gave young Henry Smith a massive rap - as a ruckman of course.
Reckon we have only scratched the surface there.
Ouch :) was crook as a dog during the 2023 Grand Final Day, watched it live, but recall little and to this day have never re-watched it, but guess I have to now !@#$$%& Ed.
I guess what really influenced me to make such a bad call was he was advocating the AFL putting up money to part own...
unsure if you guys are familiar with 'The Mongrel Punt' footy site, but I can't read enough Lions stuff at the moment and they sell for $6.60 an epub Season Review of our season. Just started it but it started with a very in-depth season preview and appears to have everything written about us...
Will be rapt if Joe decides he truly wants to play on but very much at peace with it if he doesn't, can you imagine the amount of scrutiny we will subject him through each time he doesn't chase or his body language seems off?
AFL is hard, pre-seasons brutal, it is not something you can be less...
That business about banking the million, like everyone want Joe to stay but if he does step away, hope he has a great life and am sure we would use that million next year re-arranging and maybe front loading contracts to ensure we have room in next year's cap in case we find someone.
absolutely loved that especially the Oscar bit, to think we used to call him 'Figjam' really decent person these days, and reckon he will be a great coach if he gets another crack.
Did you see the girl (sorry unsure of her name) make the O sign with her hands in a tribute to him after kicking...
