Not to revise some painful thoughts but if you take yourself back to the Carlton game last 10 minutes, Draper faced those exact same moments getting caught out 1v1 against Curnow with the opposition coming hard and lost out. This time he stood up and asserted himself (be it against a lesser...

And you can bank that their first is off the table of the trade and there is no way tigers are happy with their 2nd round pick in the 20s. Just can't see them managing a deal while Freo sit there with the right picks and pressing for him as well.

Dont lose the passion for the death ride team! With some rounds under the belt we can close in the parameters on these teams and it still looks good! -Saints have shown they can play Ross/Freo 2012 footy and then Ross/Freo 2016-18 in the same game of footy, right in that 7-14 bracket. -Pies...

Wild suggestion but just hear me out... Our 3x First round picks for Pick 1 from West Coast. I don't even mind if it's our future 1st instead of our later pick (likely from port). They go through this year realising they have glaring holes and quantity vs quality wise 3 picks will do them...

Think Ras gets another week in the WAFL, no point playing him sub and missing out on experience he could be getting from a full four quarters in a tough game. Let him gather more confidence in his game so when he does sub or get a call up he is overflowing with it instead of showing the...

Cox on return takes Hughes because Draper just looks all class. He adds another really decisive and clean layer to the backline. It's scary how identical his style is to Johnson. Glad (not for the injuries) that he has a good amount of runway in the team with Cox and McDonald out. Should give...

Some absolute wild ideas first up here gang that I just have to put down to it’s the first changes thread of the year and everyone’s still a bit giddy from the great win. Banners back?? Are you people mad? Hard no to watching him and Hughes try and kick their way through a zone, and he’s a...

Absolutely here for this ride, really lets me tolerate a poorer year with something else to focus on not that I think it will be anything dire. Made last year much more painful that is for sure. Ready to bring the bad juju (not injuries) straight for all 3 teams. Clear ways this can happen for...

Look this could be a bit of fan fiction playing out in my mind and hey why not reality is what you make of it and all... I think our goal posts in developing young players as fans needs to shift and align with what I believe the club is beginning to do and bring to the club culture and...

This is my bet for our best 22, we have decent coverage across the pitch, great flexibility to shuffle spots, good height and speed throughout and a pretty dangerous forward set up. Depth for injuries and poor performance covering all spots as well, couple being unlucky to miss. Brodie: direct...

I don't think the coaches see them like for like in terms of replacement value, Switkowski is much more impact and pushing up to stoppages. As great as he is its why he is rated 'elite' for champion data because he gets into stoppages, gets more ball and tackle numbers then most small forwards...

I think yes he's going to be in the best 22 and rotate in that high half forward role pushing up to stoppage just like Shultz, I wouldn't be super confident he stays best 22 though. One or two off games though he will be out for Longmuir's safe card of Banfiled. Has great pressure and has looked...

If Henry becomes a proper inside mid for the saints I might just give up watching footy because apparently I have lost all ability to understand the game and player abilities (saying like I have that ability now...). I know Ross is a great coach, but surely no-one is great enough to turn Henry...

Also another mobile key forward in development if Corbett and Kuek go and Davies and Murphy show a bit at Peel. Swing key position players with great size and athleticism have there uses. Although I think Kuek will get another go if he gets on the park. Forward talent with plenty to work with...

800 over 3 years without even blinking, trigger option to extend and increase two more years at a mil if he keeps himself from trouble. Everything you want a small forward to be and completely transitions us forward from SonSons retirement, worth the risk. (Very very big caveat that it would...

That is the winning ticket for sure. Although I wouldn't be certain Treacy will want to spend his career in the 2's and i would expect he would start to look elsewhere. I don't think it would work but I definitely would still love to see if we could line up Treacy, Amiss, McDonald, Darcy and...

Going to offer up an alternative use (that's been mentioned a bit but not in depth) of our 3 first rounders next year other then getting Logan McDonald. The likeliest event is our 3 first rounders are about 10, 15 and 17. I am very much aware of the folly of trying to guess this far ahead but...

Between him and Gordon, gave us depressed Toffees something to cheer about! The 3rd goal though was an absolute pearler of a team goal especially with Newcastle pressing (although the game was close to wrapped up). Every player touching it in the build up.

As an Everton fan the deduction is so unbelievably unjust it’s wild. The biggest deduction in PL history for overspending the cap on new stadium costs only, nothing beneficial on field, that benefits the PL, due to market crashes from Covid and a war between Ukraine and Russia. Bigger deduction...

As i have hoped, Chapman is staying with backs which also just confirms to me that Young is spending more time in the middle, lose nothing down back and gain a heap in the middle [emoji1317]

Give it up mate, we get it you don't like Victorians, if he leaves high 5s for you, you are the oracle on body language and we will bend our knees for you on future calls. We will definitely be getting more then pick 41 in return for him considering the key back market and 8 teams in Vic for the...

100%, think he is a great pick up for us especially this late of a pick. I actually really rated Shiel when he went to the bombers, bit sad his game turned to mud but that’s more on the bombers then him. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

I don’t want to bring the vibes down on this guy at all so please carry on and I mean this in a good way, looks very Dylan Shiel how he runs and bursts. The Gws Shiel and definitely not the Bombers Shiel [emoji23] Great point of difference for our mids who all lack great burst.

I know you have written this as just a manner of speaking but sheeeeeeessshhhh..... pick a lane ;)

*assuming full fitness - true best 22 FB - Ryan, Pearce, Walker HB - Clark, Cox, Chapman C - Aish, Brayshaw, Johnson Foll - Darcy, Serong, Young HF - Frederick, Jackson, Switkowski FF - Walters, Amiss, Treacy B - Fyfe, Emmett, O'Meara, Sturt Sub - Erasmus Explanation of some of the ideas...

It's called patience and sticking to the plan, I know a lot of people can't get their head around that and think the strategic plan for 2025 was just a little media positive spin to make it look like were trying but all of our recent decisions have centered on that 2025 plan. That is the plan in...

Poor old duck is going to be in for a rough go of it when Ross drops him for squibbing 4 contests and hitting the opposition in the guts twice in a row, better jump off social media entirely for her own benefit :tearsofjoy:

Is it a waste if it helps build a winning culture and adds to a finals push, while still allowing for development for Emmett without having the pressure of having to perform on him, failing, and then we are stuck with Banfield playing instead? On top of that we still get rewarded fairly when he...

Do not let Shultz go. Age 26 end of next year, 5 year contract offer on the table now, a year playing for a contract and 10 vic clubs having all year to go toe to toe and trying to woo him over, band 1 surely is a chance? So if we perform as bad as we did this year we get pick 6 on top of our...
