Any chance we give Rory Lobb a go? Bit of a journeyman, prefers to play forward but can ruck Obviously behind Darcy, Naughton and English at the Dogs now

Add Will Ashcroft to that list - came from the junior Suns Academy ;)

Hipwood and Daniher to share ruck duties?

Have we had a significant onfield leader in finals since Hodgey? We're basically going to have to wait until Will is ready to be captain and start a rebuild now to build a team good enough to challenge for the flag when he is ready

Thought this was an interesting take on FoxFooty (I know, I know) that Chris Scott was so confident before the game because he knew Port only play one way (and look a million bucks if it comes off) but if they negated that then he was pretty confident that Cats would win and Cats smashed them...

Can add Sam Mitchell working with Nick Watson one on one to help him with his goal kicking. Just goes to show the value of a great coach - both in terms of getting the best out of players individually but getting them to play their roles in the overall match day strategy.

The sad thing is there are corrupt politicians and business men and women who have defrauded the public and r*ped and pillaged land that belonged to Indigenous people but don’t even have to face a day in court let alone have to face justice. Yet this bloke will have the book thrown at him and...

Are you Dan50 now?

Rayner and Bailey for Petracca? There’s no guarantee that Petracca will be back to his best after an injury loke that and the aftermath. Dusty was never the same player after his kidney injury.

also can't forget that the Pies had quite a few outs with injuries as well - Jordan De Goey alone was a bigger out for them than any players for us

yes - fair point - and I'm not actually as critical of the defenders - it's more that the defensive mindset/helping out the defenders needs to be a whole team thing - I've felt that all the teams that do well in finals and win premierships tend to have this - but it never seemed to have been a...

fair point. I'm more thinking about pressing home to some of the other mids and small forwards about the need to tackle and help out/run hard defensively - so many of our players have 0-1 tackles a game which is frankly embarrassing. Charlie is the only one who I've noticed in the past few...

I've never understood why we never addressed the defensive side of our game over the years - teams that do well in finals and win premierships have a strong defensive side - yet we've never developed it and apart from last year - we have been very poor in finals despite doing so well in the H+A...

also if he bothered actually trying to the hard yards - tackle and work hard defensively although TBF thought he played a cracker of a game in the GF

Nowhere to be sighted in 2 crunch games and to top it off misses an absolute sitter 15m in front of goal in a game where we lose by 1pt

probably not if Doedee and Coleman are good to go I suspect

is Stuey Dew in the coaches box for us for interstate games?

why not? feels like he has been working much harder the past few months - helping out a lot more in defence - he should be rewarded for his efforts

So happy he is flourishing and very happy to eat humble pie with this thread

I wonder how many times we have to lose to the Hawks to get enough learnings to actually win a game against them?

Feels a bit like older players need to either drop themselves or injure themselves for the youngsters to be given a go under Fages

Could we try Hipwood in the ruck for short stints?

Any chance we could get David Noble back? Also why are we wasting McCluggage in the wing? He needs to be our rolls royce mid

Buckley coming back to Brisbane to win an elusive flag as coach would definitely be an ironic and also a full-circle moment

Yeah, that’s why I have a * next to most of Glenn McGrath’s wickets when the ICC found out that he was chucking and changed the rules to allow him to keep chucking https://amp.smh.com.au/sport/icc-on-right-course-by-attacking-chucking-problem-by-degrees-20141030-11e57q.html

Agree with this. Just plant Big O in the goal square and ruck relief for Fort as primary ruck. Allow Hipwood to roam more. I remember someone said Hipwood’s field kicking is elite.

Interesting that the forward line was supposed to be the Magpies weakness yet they generated 30 shots at goal

I hope you are right!

sorry poor wording, tough couple of years as in we will go backwards relative to other contenders (Port, Melbourne, Carlton and GWS) and we may struggle for top 4 let alone top 2 (which is what we need to have a genuine crack on GF day) - will need a mini rebuild of sorts slotting a few younger...

Feel like we are in for a tough couple of years. Lester and Zorko are on verge of retirement and we don’t have ready made replacements Unsure if Hipwood, Berry or Rayner will get better GWS and Carlton will be better and we may struggle to finish top 2 which is basically what we need to make...
