If there's one thing the history of football has taught us, it's that talent will not be contained. Talent breaks free, it is promoted to the senior team, and crashes through barriers painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh, well, there it is.

Jeff Goldblum replacing Hinkley is a win in my books.

Unless its guided by poor decisions like plonking Boak on the half forward line for some years because of reasons.

Talent, uh, finds a way

Any internal trial coming up?
There's one next Saturday 13th but I haven't seen any info about it other than the Club 1870 member invite to watch. Not sure that it's open though as the invite says it's a strict Club 1870 event only. Hopefully there's still a family day etc but unlike normal 1870 events there will be no coach or player interaction due to covid restrictions so I'd say family day very much at risk.

What's everyone's opinion on Bonner this season? I think he will fall behind alot of our young players and will struggle to get much AFL games.
Hopefully he has an Amon like improvement.

Expecting him to spend pretty much all of the season in the SANFL and be traded/delisted.

We really should've dealt him last year as part of the Fantasia trade. Port always hold onto players a year too long.
 
Perhaps no one wanted him

There were reports in the media that Essendon were interested. Only media reports I guess, but if they were true we should've dealt him. He'd walk into their 22 after they lost Saad and McKenna last year.
 
Bonner is best mates with Will Snelling so he would have fitted right in at Essendon

He and Lachie Jones - behind the bike sheds, let them sort it out like men.
 
Bonner had a good year last year, he’s excellent depth and should play a dozen games or so

I really don't understand the Bonner hate. I guess we need a whipping boy and the better the team gets, the higher the calibre of whipping boy we have.

His howlers seem to stick out in people's minds a bit more than other players.
I'm sure if you compared his blunders to that of say, Hartlett for example, he'd actually look fine.
