I like the idea of getting Perryman if we lose Noble. Perryman costs no draft capital Through Nobel, we can gain approx pick 20. So effectively exchange players and gain a decent draft pick. Thats the cleverest way of using free agency to your advantage.

Mick would be in a tough position too. This team is likely to win the flag. A lot of good fringe players trying to get in, and you all know how heated the politics can get at footy clubs. And the top 15 players are used to playing 90%+ game time. On the other hand the sentimental value of a...

Its too tempting at 6 to pick an top end 18 year old

My thoughts only, based on here say media throughout the season. usually half turn to trades though. Nobel just turned out to be one as you probably just seen released. I reckon one of Richard or Hill turns to a trade. Its my thoughts only based on the increase of small forward stocks from the...

I think its possible to get 2nd rounders. If Port are willing to give Richards a 4 year contract. You could swap their 2nd rounder for our 3rd rounder. plus the other random rumours around that i threw in were the Hill/Nobel/Quaynor which would be even easier to achieve. But even if we...

I agree, thats why i think we only have a chance by doing the deal over two stages Get Another 2nd rounder. leaving us with 3 2nd rounders in total. Then package them up for Carltons first rounder so they get points and we have 2 first rounders to play with

To get Petracca, it will have to be similar currency to what we gave up for Beams, which is 2 mid to late first round picks. We can give up next years first round, and maybe offer Reef as they have poor key forward stocks. And if there is any truth to any of the rumours on...

Start the rebuild ASAP before Tassie compromise the draft. We are possibly in for a tough patch, 1995-1999 style. Naicos to be the Bucks of the era, but with a flag at least. And I prefer that to accumulate high end draft picks than sit in no man's land in the middle like essendon, saints, and...

We are a few goals worse than last year, mainly defensively than offensively. The main issue im seeing since the Dogs game is that we aimlessly sending a defensive mid or defender up the ground to unrealistically try put pressure on the ball carrier and opposition are looping over very easily...

Thats great by young Thomas The EDFL is a strong league that draws a lot of ex-AFL players. When I played, there were 4 in our team and our senior side still didnt make finals, and very difficult for under 18 year olds to get called up into the senior side Its the same league Dynden Dunn got...

We are in a good position. And have the form to be a flag contender and a clearing up injury list. We've also had to learn to adapt our game plan as we were figured out early in the year and play the boundary rather than down the guts, which is handy as we have a plan A and B that we can switch...

Out: Dean, MaCrae, Sullivan, Jiath, McInnes In: Mihocek, De Goey, Pendles, Marcov, Richards I know Dean might be stiff. But checkers coming back throws Frampton back to defence. And if Richards is not ready, I think Sullivan survives, but I wouldnt mind Ryan or DeMattia being sub for exposure.

I agree. And an Elliott and McStay return only puts more pressure on forward spots. We might find a Nobel 2023 finals story up forward this year come finals time.

If he holds up and maintains a couple goals a game, id love to see how team selection goes with Cox and McStays return. For the time being, itll be great if he holds up until McStays return

My ladder is similar. I have had us pencilled in for 6-7 losses since before the start of the season and 4-5 losses by the bye. Typical Premiers have 0-2 losses post bye. So a win will have us on track of a typical b2b pathway

Richards and Scott will miss, so their injury list is very comparable to ours. Probably why the betting market still has us as favourites

I did think last year, if we won the flag in 2023 then the 2018 loss was worth it. We would have a flag either way, but Bucks would have had the license for a rebuild now and we would have been sitting at no mans land between 6-12th at this stage. Then add the plethora of memories of the...

I looked up their announcement. My mistake, due late July. Thought I saw another poster say that was the reason.

Didn't he get called up because Marcov was unavailable for the birth of his baby. That's how I interpreted Dean's inclusion. But I don't mind him being in if it releases Howe forward.

Krueger for Cox Marcov for Allan MaCrae for Richards Howe for Dean McInnes for Checkers AJ for Parker as sub (Krueger insurance and late ruck relief) If McInnes doesn't get up, Dean stays and Howe up forward.

Dogs also have a mounting injury list. 7 best 23 players ruled out so far for our clash. We have more players as test/TBC, so around 7-9 will miss for us. So good timing to have them as an opponent at this point in the season.

He talks like a boundary commentator. His tone of voice is as if he's just spotted something continuously. Hes my least favourite commentator. I really miss the McAvaney, Commetti and Roberts days.

Effectively 1 loss in the past 8 games, so I'm happy from that perspective. Icing the games can be frustrating. But it's gotten us a flag and preliminary final the last 2 years so we have to trust the process. Checkers going down really hurt our structure, just like last week with reef and whe...

Where is Sofranidis at? I haven't seen him in the VFL for at least a month.

Was this the same guy that didn't hand the ball back to Langford in last year's Anzac day game. Then Langford slotted the goal to stick it up him. He looks familiar.

Reef in for the the feral chainsaw (McCreery, preseason nickname that dropped off) For Schulz, take your pick out of Richards, MaCrae and Bytel Id rather Sidey or WHE sub to see how shooters replacement goes, but they will likely be the sub

He was confused and thought he was watching basketball Gazey gets flustered quite easily

Fantastic win. Good to see fringe players Harrison and Sullivan put selection pressure. Great to see Nick have 7 tackles to demonstrate a complete attacking/defence domination. Schult and Elliotts 13 tackles were an elite contribution to our pressure game. Excellent to see Crisp, Lipinski...

We can't focus on single moments. A games about all the minutes. Although Checkers missed two shots. He played well kicking double his career average in goals to finsh with a strong contribution. And we would have lost without him. Elliott had a couple of missed chances too, but again...
