Are you better than the umpires?I'm better than Gresham.
Nah, they're in a league of their own.Are you better than the umpires?
F*ck the draft... RTB will only break their souls anyway.If we get too far in front we should take our pedal off the gas, there is a chance we could end up on the same number as wins as another couple of teams.
Don't want to tank, but i don't want us to drop two draft positions on percentage.
lol, folded in half, okSilly, he'd get folded in half by the bigger bodies. Carlton tried it with Ollie Hollands early this year and it failed miserably
Wilson stays on the outside for at least the next couple of years before he bulks up
But there's a right time to do it. Look at what happened to Pou when he got fed to the wolves in the final last year. Absolutely monstered. We've only just started experimenting with Nas in the mids, I wouldn't expect us to do so with Wilson so earlylol, folded in half, ok
Im not saying he's going to take the world by storm, more so as an investment for the future
I think a 5 minute run on the ball here and there isn't as consequential as you're making it out to be. Also, pou being fed to the wolves may or may not have contributed to his current form, probably didn't help but also may have been a massive driver on his preseason. Exposing more potential stars to the midfield here and there will help us in the long run. Even if it just cements the fact that they need to develop a lot more before they can become a successful part of the midfield rotationBut there's a right time to do it.

I was at that game. and Jimmy O'Dea was innnocent. Did nothing to Greening. I swear by almighty god.I hope you haven't forgiven Jim O'Dea either then Baz
Here's what I want to see, my man Coops back up last week.
Can it happen?

You're not considering the opportunity cost. 5 minutes of midfield for Wilson robs Nas of 5 minutes, or Byrnes of 5 minutes, or someone else of 5 minutes - all of whom are way more prepared for midfield minutes than him. Its the same situation as Owens - you know the player is currently playing well in their current role and that they will be no better in the mids because their attributes don't line up, so there is no point in robbing them and others of that 5 minutes of developmentI think a 5 minute run on the ball here and there isn't as consequential as you're making it out to be.

Yawn.Ross is sending shockwaves through the competition. Some teams are moving guys like Hayden Young and Ed Richards from HB to the middle, well Ross sees that and his answer to that is…….Liam Stocker. Would be putting the fear of god into teams with that one.
I have read some garbage on here but this takes the cake , how about you tell us who hit him thenI was at that game. and Jimmy O'Dea was innnocent. Did nothing to Greening. I swear by almighty god.
Ok cards on the table time.
I don't want to win tomorrow. We go 6 up on Adelaide and actually go past GC on %.
Even if we got band 1 for Battle (if he goes, reports he doesn't) it will be 6 and 7, if not one frdp at 6.
This is getting serious. Yes winning like against Sydney and killing Essendon is great and good for the players and morale, etc, however one mid top 10 draft in an even draft is not going to propel us up the charts.
We need pick 4 or 5 at the very worst not 6 or 7.

Reality is we're probably gonna finish with 9-10 wins and have only had 1 poor game on the back of what was unquestionably disgraceful fixturing from the AFL.After 19 games we are the 3rd best defence in the AFL.
16 points behind Freo #2 and 34 points behind Swans #1. That really is extraordinary for the 14th placed team.
I know all the anti RTB people will say we are just a defensive team but unlike many lower teams we have a strength that is well drilled and we can build upon (really hope we don’t lose Battle). Kudos to Boris and RTB.
Now we are starting to improve our forward connection (notwithstanding a sub par midfield) we look dangerous.
If we can draft/trade well (& have some injury & fixture luck) I’m positive that we can see significant improvement in 2025.
Suns have Bombers, Dees at home and Tiges.Ok cards on the table time.

Will win 2 or 3 of those.

Nas is a HBF in my eyes, I'd like him to stay there.. Byrnes isn't a long term mid prospect, would love to get Owens on the ball more often but we have all been vocal about that, would like to start giving Wilson a few little runs at it as he has the strength/power/disposal/running capacity to eventually move into that role. The main question mark is on his contested game. He played mid in the juniorsYou're not considering the opportunity cost. 5 minutes of midfield for Wilson robs Nas of 5 minutes, or Byrnes of 5 minutes, or someone else of 5 minutes - all of whom are way more prepared for midfield minutes than him.

dogs also had a stacked midfield so he didn't get much opportunityProbably depends on the player too. It's taken 7 seasons for Ed Richards to push Macrae out of a starting midfield role.
