Just solidFirst final in mens footy , yep he was more than solid
Burgess will sort it!Just solid
That said, Dowling has a lot of gym-work to undertake B4 next season ......his body isn't strong enough, his legs are quite ....well, lets say "chicken legs"
Even better news !Just solid

Berry is the one I'm excited about for 2024Even better news !
He has upside
Is already an endurance beast which is the main issue with a few of our other younger mids , a bit of strength and fine tuning of his kicking and we have a proper inside / outside midfielder we lack
Taylor for me.Berry is the one I'm excited about for 2024
Unfortunately I was on him at the start of this seasonBerry is the one I'm excited about for 2024
Didn't look interested, lacked hunger, for most of the season ......but I liked Berry's game & attitude on the weekend !Unfortunately I was on him at the start of this season
I’m with Taylor if he turns up chiselled and fit to day 1 of pre seasonBerry is the one I'm excited about for 2024
Dowling has class written all over him..
He does ? .....I think it's been a normal 1st year for a draftee ....I wouldn't have said "class all over him"
You can't compare Dowling's season to that of Nankervis
Hately is worse now, than when he came to us 3 years agoDowling was very impressive all year, he has great footy smarts and can find the goals. Clam is 100%, he should've been given 2-3 senior games this year.
Hately is the one I feel sorry for, never got a real run of AFL time on the ball, shunted back to a wing then demoted back to SANFL last year. Has had a cracking year in the SANFL as a pure mid. Would hope another club will pick him up as Crouch's signature surely means he is gone from our list.
Nankervis was drafted as a long term project, club would be stoked to have him with senior footy under his belt this early on. Can still see a move into the midfield for him, think he is actually way more suited to a FWD/MID role, so the fact he has shown so much class as a DEF is very promising. Could be a real swingman.
Soligo for mine.Taylor for me.
Agreed. Much more defensively minded and balances out a midfield mix of Soligo, Pedlar, Rachele.Didn't look interested, lacked hunger, for most of the season ......but I liked Berry's game & attitude on the weekend !
Good call... I'm looking forward to him going next level.Soligo for mine.
He's the closest to being able to transition full time into the midfield, especially with Schoenberg sidelined long term.
Has the tank, the smarts and is tough.
the bloke I think can make the biggest difference to the side is ThilthorpeGood call... I'm looking forward to him going next level.
Taylor was the player I was most looking forward to debut this year, so hoping next season he has more luck with injuries.

No, it’s more judging who’s most likely to not be picked up by another club. Hamill first, then Bond’s probably next?You have already judged Bond though .....it's akin to the people who judged Pedlar last year ....no patience
We need more influence from Thilthorpe, Rachele, Soligo & Pedlar.the bloke I think can make the biggest difference to the side is Thilthorpe
I don’t reckon he would have debuted this yearGood call... I'm looking forward to him going next level.

Yep - he’s already had multiple games of > 20 disposals and some multiple goal gamesDowling has been superb. We forget how young these new guys are. What did Sloane, Croach and Laird do in their first senior year?
Sloane was crying in a toilet because he'd been drafted interstate. Now we can't get rid of him.Dowling has been superb. We forget how young these new guys are. What did Sloane, Croach and Laird do in their first senior year?
The Paul Connors interview on Gettable last week was very interesting. Although he seemed fairly certain that this was going to be a ultra low player movement trade period. Teams looking to hold players and maintain lists in the large part.
I have to admit. He looks to be on the money. Might be some pick shuffling, and minor list management decisions, but I'm not seeing any big fish out there for teams to chase. Trade week is looking like a massive fizzer this year.
