Clarko disciple KC.
Kid captained Caulfield last year so will get a full season next year under Clarko to show what he can do.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see him hang around on the VFL team if he doesn’t make the grade.

Drury Is more of a Caleb Daniel type. Was one of the better performers last preseason and stood out with ball use and composure under pressure. Not sure what happened towards the end of the preseason and start of the season, but suffered a setback and never really recaptured that early form. Was also trialled as a small forward in the VFL which isn’t his go.

I remember the pre-season game against Richmond at Arden St, was trusted more with kick ins and distributing off half back more so than any other player - which stood out to me at the time.

What’s the saying? Snuff out the flair and make them play to structures?
The footballers who follow instructions will tend to look like they’re lost out there.
Kayne Turner is the perfect example. Gets picked every week but seems like a shell of the kid who burst onto the scene.
The ones that make it are able to modify their game based on being effective in a functioning gameplan.
Let’s hope that rings true for Drury.

I can see these blokes staying on...
  • Drury
  • Hansen
  • Stephenson
  • Lazzaro
So we only need to worry about the draft up to pick 166.

I think that someone will come for him, maybe with a promise to use a late pick in the draft. He won't have to worry about being picked up by another club.
Otherwise I am out $100.
Good times, won the bet but paid out early to player sponsorship needs I think. Can’t remember who it was…

19 out the door eh. Reckon Drury, Free, Hansen and Stepho are safe for now. that leaves 15 list spots and three first round picks. Hopefully we take 12 KPP's in the draft and hope one is half decent.
 
Yes I was being deliberately obtuse, but in fairness I do get a little sick of hearing rubbish about our playing stocks

Of course we can’t replace 19 players in one hit.
The reality is I didn’t go near these

20. Comben = chalky
21. Xerri = the below average
22. Taylor = on the rails
23. Phillips = not filled with confidence
23. Powell = as above
24. Archer = is he a finals player
25. Greenwood = battler
26. Shiels = not much left in the tank


How many of the 26 are playing with us in season 2026. Not ****ing many of suggest.

Think I may be sick lol

27. Larkey = One trick pony, all he does is kick goals
28. LDU = Couldn’t even win the Syd Barker let alone win the Brownlow medal
29. Sheezel = Recruited as a forward yet only kicked three goals

In all seriousness though you do have a point in your analysis. Bit harsh on Powell phillips and comben - I’m optimistic they’ll feature in a 2026 finals worthy team

We’ve had four years of being bottom two and still barely half our list is worth persevering with.

Sick indeed.

We should have been rebuilding far earlier. I've said it before but what we're experiencing is the after effects of hanging on to our premiership window (hard to call it that when Scotts couldn't get us a top 4 berth!) for far too long (robbing us of high draft picks and YOUTHFUL trade targets) then having the madness which was the Shaw + Noble years to cap it all off. So instead of having the list rebuilt and contending again in JZ + co's last years we're at our bloody lowest and looking to replace all our veterens AS WELL as having to draft from the bottom up.

And we didn't seem to play it smart enough during the compromised years. Getting caught mid-table during that period was disastrous.

You don't get to become a bottom 2 side for four years if you had a great list. The greater issue was that 4 or 5 years ago half a list was just a few players. Without getting a lot of wins on the board, we have improved the list significantly. Even top 4 teams have dead weight on their list that they shed over time, you are never going to have an all-australian list.

Comben - kpd???
Xerri - agree... need to either keep Goldy or find someone asap
Taylor - keep
Phillips - is our 2nd best kick. Keep
Powell - keep
Archer - yes
Greenwood - we need his size to protect the kids
Shiels - was instrumental in our first two wins

Hansen - delist
Drury - I know he's signed but not an AFL player
Free - no
Edwards - put on 10kgs over Christmas and you get 1 year
