Yet the emphasis has always been on drafting midfielders with early picks, with the occasional key position player here and there.

Duursma’s ceiling is higher than Watson’s imo. No.5 pick in the draft for a small forward, you’d want to be the best small forward in the game.

I would be content with a season where we are unbeaten against * and finish above them. Even if it’s only 6-7 wins. In fact I would be over the moon.

Goad wasn’t up to playing VFL last season. He’s an athletic profile and that’s about it atm. Don’t know how anyone can assess how good he could be at this point in time. Glad to hear he has put on some size, because Caleb Daniel could have pushed him under the ball last season. That’s his first...

Poort and the * filth are 2 peas in a pod. • would have been in his ear the minute he got drafted. Hopefully Zane has a good 2025 and becomes invested in the group.

I have plenty of expectations, you can keep the optimism… I want to see it. It’s time to demand improvement next year or heads should roll. No excuses left. 3 pre-seasons under the new regime, we have experience and games into the kids.

I think we need what he will bring to the midfield, hardness and 2 way running. Can’t just leave it all up to the warlord to bring the heat.

The off season is a great tonic…. For some.

Last year it was “sick of losing”, this year its “standards are being driven”. It’s all talk. It doesn’t matter how ripped they look in still photos, or how they play against each other in match sim. It means nothing until we show something against other teams. Long wait ahead until we can...

Oh, he would have been a massive favourite in these parts in this age. Favourite whipping boy that is….. by the length of the Flemington straight.

I hope we get back to the days when a Shane Clayton calibre player is the worst player in the 23. McHappy Luke not fit enough to tie Shane’s boot laces.

Any of these Irish gals got brothers? Might be the only way we score a decent Irish player for the men’s.

Lmac shouldn’t be captain because I believe the captain should be in the top 10 players at the club, top 6 really. But who here really knows what his captaincy skills are like? I think we just go off the fact the team keeps loosing.

Would love to give port the homesick player wants to leave treatment. Hope jack tells them their ice baths are not cold enough. Temp set at mamma’s boy’ level.

was it the same knee? Can’t remember

Lmac gets shat on even more these days because he is co-captain. Is it his fault there are no better options to captain the club atm? Jy is in the same boat. Lmac bleeds blue and white and gives it his all on the track and on weekends. A lot of people carry on, wanting him out of the team. He...

He is the epitome of a cool sophisticated dag. He would be one of those sneaky roosters.

Yeah, Darling’s experience and guile would be best used further up the field you would think?

Awesome, kids got some mongrel. Interesting that he’s playing back. WDawson looks more of a natural back too. Looks like the plan is to play chom forward?

He could fill out and become a massive unit, or his physique might not even matter in the long run, but I cringe every time I see his narrow shoulders.

I’m not a fan of all chips in, win as many premierships as possible now then fall off a cliff. We are in a strong position, our aim should be perennial contenders for decades to come. So 30-40 years from now we are the team with the most premierships. That’s how you build foundations for a club...

Ok, it keeps getting brought up by others too, but last time for me. 👍

If I was on a 20 game losing streak and my opponent laid down to let me win, I would forfeit the match. The GC laid down, there was no merit in the win, the result meant nothing “for the club”. It took a dead rubber against the GC in tassie to break a 20 game losing streak… embarrassing is what...

And they would have been able to enjoy their off-season holidays without a 21 game losing streak weighing on their minds.

Noooo!! Got to retain Vikki Wall.

People trying to justify that meaningless win are kidding themselves. The only way it would have meaning is if we never won another game again. And believing we would have got a different compo pick is a fanciful coping mechanism. But agree with the above. Move on and back OUR players in. I’m...

We need to supplant this guy asap. Can only see his form regressing. Oops sorry, forgot this is the off-season. Optimism and positivity abounds and reality is put in the corner. Hopefully one of our young key talls shoots up quicker than expected.

We need a forward/ruck in the 22. If Comben plays back, then it’s out of CCJ, Teakle and Maley.

Should have put him in the women’s rehab group.

Not according to the b&f count.
