Have always thought Will Brodie will become a damn good player. If Broad is going to the suns maybe we could have Brodie as part of that deal.

Why would we be getting rid of a 22yo player who has just reached 50 games. There is only Bolton of the young mids Who has reached more than 20 games if you exclude Stack who may or may not become a competent AFL midfielder personally i think him a defender and hes played just 26 games anyway...

Remains the most over hyped player we have. Reasonable games being lauded as very good ones.

Lol i think he got an awful lot right as well as getting plenty wrong. Imo tiger supporters in the main want it both ways. The vast majority at the time were howling like lunatics for blood recruiting had been poor and list management was poor as well. It took an external review a challenge to...

This is spot on. Historically we have always played three talls two genuine KPP'S when fit !!!! and a third tall who can play tall or small. In 2017 we actually played four genuine talls in Astbury kpd 195cm, Rance kpd 194cm, Grimes third tall/sml 193cm. Broad third tall/sml 192cm. To my way of...

Dont see Broad as a kpp and there in lies the problem. For me with Astbury back in the team it becomes a choice between Broad and Grimes for that third tall spot, and Grimes wins that one hands down. Astbury and Balta are our KPD'S when fit. Grimes can play KPD out of neccesity but he is also...

Lots of bunkum in this thread. At Geelong in 2016 Caddy was in competition with Duncan, J Selwood, Dangerfield his first yr, S Selwood his first yr, and Menegola all big inside and out mids as well as Bartel as it turned out in his last yr.. He realised the squeeze was on he was not guaranteed...

Have said almost from the get go that the role he plays for us makes him one of the biggest disappointments we have at the club for me. What is so wrong with asking a big 186cm 87kg mid to play inside. He played that role well as a junior and had two pretty good yrs playing the role at Geelong...

Hmm an ideal team or a best 22 with a few spots open with an eye on the future. FB/ Vlastuin 187/87 - Astbury 195/95 - Grimes 193/90. If Astbury comes back he comes back for Broad and Grimes moves to third tall in Broads role. HB/ Pickett 184/84 - Balta - 194/100 - Houli 180/84.Will say again...

ah fumbles McIntosh still getting games.

LMFAO at the apologists for mediocrity. Castagna for his career goes at 1.0 goals a game fmd for a permanent small fwd that is and im being kind here very average at best. Rioli over the journey goes at a whopping 0.8 goals a game. Aarts with a very small sample size of 5 whole games for 6...

I love the head in the sand attitude of some. This yr has not been all that different to other yrs. Every yr for an awful lot the expectation has been he will take the next step and here we all are still waiting.

Geez we aim low. Personally i would preder an Eddie betts type or a toby Greene most weeks good for a couple of goals or more and they do the defensive stuff as well. Theres nothing that says your small fwd to apply pressure doesnt need to worry about doing his primary role of kicking goals...

Put money on it straight back in next week. favorite of dumma is Dan

When?

for me this week my outs would go Rioli - putrid McIntosh - just not up to the standard. Aarts - just a battler. Chol - what does he give us? answer usually very little. Naish - Harsh on the kid here he deserves a block of games but i have others id prefer see get a game. Team would go like...

What you mean the ten he would get out the back and the other ten he would get playing on from a kick in. Never mind the panic attacks that still happen when under real pressure. Give me the ball in DE-S hands every day of the week.5 freakin games in and people writing a kid off.Of course hes...

the EGG showed in just his 4th game how easy it is to play Houli,s role.

McIntosh has had 20 plus disposal games on 12 occasions. He has not changed for the entirety. here is the number of 20 plus games he has had each yr 2015 - 3 2016 - 2 2017 - 4 is that not when we changed 2018 - 3 2019 - 0 2020 - 1 so far. Wrong to imply he was ever a big possession getter...

Wow someone without the blinkers on.This yr He is down in every area bar one when compared to his career averages. A 7 possesion game and he played well !!!! makes it pretty hard to have a bad game id say.

If all you want is someone to run both ways then i reckon you could play the role. For most of his career he has been a liability and not a lot has changed over the journey. Low possesion getter very few contested possesions or clearances is not a high tackler most weeks has a case of the...

Didnt see the NM game but every time i have seen egg play i have liked what i see. Said at the start of the year Houli is now at a stage where he is stifling the development of younger players i really hope he retires at seasons end.

will be upfront and say i have not seen the game but if anyone thinks a 7 possesion game on the wing is a good game then they are kidding. If the stats are anything to go by he played his usual role of being where the ball aint. Role player or not part of all their roles is to get a bit of...

Huge huge need for quality bigger bodied inside out mids. In essence atm there is only Martin and Cotchin who are well rounded bigger mids. Theres Caddy but you would not give two bob for his inside game. In the wings there is only Ross and RC-D. Personally id like us to target a big inside out...

Has not been best 22 for some time now not just this season.

Understand that but his numbers are mostly down on what is aready a low base imo. People are saying he is having a worse yr than usual im not sure that is the case, imo this yr is not all that different to previous yrs and i think the numbers back that up. The question im asking myself is why...

Statistically he is down this yr but what has to be acknowledged is statistically his numbers are historically poor. To date he has not shown an ability to CONSISTENTLY go thru the midfield. He is in yr 5, he is 23 yrs of age and he is now getting close to 100 games with 85 ?. His averages for...

Hmm interesting the only team we have played this yr who is older and played more games than us is hawthorn who had a shedload of 30 yr olds play against us. Aarts is a 25 yr old mature recruit who should be playing why else recruit him. Chol is in yr 5 and is already 23 Egg is 22 in yr 3 and...

Heres hoping. They are bound to pay way over. On Maurice JNR If hes anything like Daniel i sure hope we dont pay anything more than a third rounder to get him.

Hallelujah hooray he had a decent game at last. One can expect a return an imminent return to abject mediocrity posthaste. He is just a battler and there is no justification for him getting games.Geez 24 disposals you could probably count on your fingers the number of times he has had more...
