I agree Answerth and Starc play more defensive backs
Wilmott and Zorko where the attacking ones
Kiddy and Zorko still not sure we carry both as attacking players, unless as others said Wilmott moves up to wing.
Which then mean less rotations for Fletcher, Berry and Bailey
Linc be after that HF...
The AFL always does best for the game sorry Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon and Richmond game
Cannot have the big clubs ever fall down the ladder for too long.
Need to adjust the FIXture to make sure they rise
then adjust the Umpires to help that
I do find it interesting that they allow Eagles...
yes although where do we move him. Mids as said above Ashcroft and Hugh sort of sharing the third spot
Forward have Levi who will want a spot and Linc when back from ACL as well
I see eventually him becoming the Sub.
Zorko smarts and kicking was great.. Although I think Kiddy has him on...
The spot we have for sale now is Joe's
Even though Joe is great sometimes someone out is an opportunity for someone to shine.
We have a year of Day, Smith, Ryan and others to make that spot their own so we do not spend big on Allan, Lewis, Darcy etc etc
Like last year Kai and Morris took their...
might be a idea like pies done with Sidebottom/Pendles although we prob end up with Kiddy and Zorko playing of HB.
Not sure we carry another attacking HB with Motty as well.
Backline as said be interesting
Starc, Wilmott and Andrews are locks. Zorko was AA last year so you think he start there...
Problem with Clugga in the middle we always start with Neale and Dunkley and both play high 80% of game time..
Then Ashcroft and McCluggae shares the third spot.
We will have Levi wanting some time as well next year as well as Rayner and Bailey.
Before Ashcroft came back Berry played more middle...
From GF team
McKenna, Joe and Fort out
L Ashcroft, Oscar and Day probably in. Fletcher plays back more to cover McKenna.
Be interesting when Linc, Doedee and Kiddy get ready who drops out for them
You assume Linc comes in to free up Charlie to roam more as we lost Joe.. We need Dangerous Charlie...
I think 27 be easier to trade out on the night and we do not have the spots for picks
With Dev not going to WCE and we like to keep Prior
That leaves us not many spots
We need to use 26 + extras for Levi.
I did think if we wanted spots we move him on for a pick slide.
Also what about if we swapped for futures.
So do not need the spots although can swap 2025 into picks for 2024 for points for Levi plus Marshall.
What about Dev for WCE future 3rd?
Cannot just give players away for salary $ we are not Gold Coast :)
Although as I think I say every year players like Dev, Sharp and Prior might get better go elsewhere.
Here they waiting for a few injuries.
If Levi gets called out say #1 can we still then do a bid swap for #27 and then match.
You expect someone will try to get #27 for cheap if we under a barrel.
Honestly think he down on form also did a lot of defensive stuff I think after Linc went down
Scoring shots alone not much difference although he missed a lot more in 2024
2024 74 , 2023 86, 2022 75, 2021 88 and 2019 89
I do think Joe became our #1 target although we spread it around.
Even if...
Like Dev and Prior as well if they got a go in a side I think they could be ok.
Keays and Hinge done well once they got a go.
Great to have depth although you do feel for guys who 26-30 spot range.
Another Ashcroft and Marshall not going to help their cause.
interesting nothing said about...
happy to do 1 year deal.
Not sure why people always say you need 2 years for guys to join.
If Day or Player X does not get picked up by us they probably play local league at a lot less $.
So they have a choice and who knows Day or Player X might break into the 22 and get a medal
Just ask Fort...
Yes I thought she got some dream job.
Although does seem the way to get players some third party deal. Or they want to head home etc.
I say most big clubs have some grey stuff they do..
Cats must do something :)... People will Cotton On soon I say :)
100% he likes it on the outside without anyone near him.
Why I say the pies would look at Dev.
Mitchell did not play much with injury and so to DeGoey. They had no one who could get in dirty.
Interesting one as Lyons and Madden gone as well so a bit of mature depth.
If you look at our GF side
We have ins Coleman, McCarthy and Oscar you push into 22
Then Doodee you want to fit in and possibly Dizzy
Add to Levi and Marshall.
6-7 spots could change we only lost Joe.. So their be guys...
We all expect Eagles, North and Tigers to again struggle.
The problem always is who will be the real crap and good teams out of the middle field.
Always 2 teams drop out of the 8 Melb/Pies 2024, Cats, Tigers and Freo 2023
Also when you get teams in form and injury patches.
First few games Lions...
Honestly happy if Fagan says Smith you have until the bye to show what you have.
Or say the same to Fort go back to 2 ruck.
Otherwise we looking at broken down Lynch for too many overs or guys who retired/delisted or someone who not making a teams best 22 as our new #1 target
I think showing...
Still wonder if I was Ryan and you seen Joe go.. You be putting in some extra and say what about me coach.
Not sure injuries or what just seemed out of sorts in some VFL games this year.
Was not many AFL players. Only a few utes and half were Olympians and AFLW players. Which I thought was weird.
If I remember
Hawkins and Touhy, Jarod Lyons and about 4-5 others only.
Jessie Hogan was in one as Coleman winner.
And one with retiring umps which got booed :)
My mate who is a cats supporter said why not ask Tom Hawkins you want to go around. Bath him in the Brisbane river and get a year out of him.
Can Ruck forward not sure body cooked . Would take some pressure of morris with defenders
We use Dunkley a lot as our go to kick from defence. Same as Fletcher.
Although him and Berry could rotate.
Yes be interesting what we do with 2 Ashcrofts, Neale, Clugga.. Add Bailey and Rayner as well.
Bailey the interesting one I see he can be a spark and breaks lines. Although with all the...
