No, pointless, why are we bringing him back? We arent winning shit. Better off seeing what we have in some kids.Do you think we should have given TMac another year? Why/why not?
He earned it we know the coach sint going to change the fwd setup. Just saved us trading some trash from another team into out backline instead.Tmac can have the year, we can just see that he'll be the 3rd key defender and our boring as **** forward line will stay the same
Riv even admitted his tank needed improving if he was to play permanently in the midfield. I thought his last couple of games were average, but he showed enough in a few games before that, where he can play through the midfield if needed.Agree, I'm not even convinced they are the midfield of the future either. Neither have that zip and pop agility. I can't see both of them in there next year - prob just Rivers in the mix.
I would be interested in seeing Rivers do the ANB role. He would super dangerous around the 50-80m range from goal with his ability to kick long and penetrating kicks to get over the back. Could play a defensive stopper role on dangerous half backs. Has the size to take a mark. Would be an awkward matchup for opposition.
What message would it send and what would it change? Probably finishes top 5 b&f, one of the fittest, actually looked like he gave a **** on the field, even when the rest of the team were going through the motions. Great cultural move to cut him.No, pointless, why are we bringing him back? We arent winning shit. Better off seeing what we have in some kids.
We arent cutting him, hes OOC. Big difference.What message would it send and what would it change? Probably finishes top 5 b&f, one of the fittest, actually looked like he gave a **** on the field, even when the rest of the team were going through the motions. Great cultural move to cut him.
Who's banging down the door to take his spot? Adams? Some kid wants his spot them come back fitter and stronger and take it.
That we accept we aren't winning the flag next year and we need to find the next wave? What do you mean? Why not give Brown, Hunter, Billings more time as wellWhat message would it send and what would it change?

You don't think veteran depth has an impact on the development of youth and culture? Come on man. TMac is not the one to cut. There are half a dozen others to cut before him and we could stop bringing in saints trash and got knows what else they are cooking up right now.Would rather play all of Petty, Turner or even Adams in his place. F50 should be JVR and Jefferson round 1 and for the entire year unless there is an injury. Even if you say TMac is depth, who cares? Why do we need veteran depth when all we are doing is sneaking into the 8 for a finals loss if everything goes right. Would rather finish with a top 4 pick playing Adams who looks shit than finish 10th coz TMac was able to fill in a couple of games for May.
Adams is looking closer to a delisting than a senior call up. Tomlinson on the move. Goodwin is obsessed with Petty/Turner forward. So TMac is a no brainer for another year. He was one of the shining lights this season tbh. I wanted the guy cut more than anyone preseason, but he had a very good season down back. We're pretty screwed if no one is pushing for his spot though midseason next year or if Petty or Turner haven't been moved back. We just lack key position depth. It's terrible.What message would it send and what would it change?

No current season stats available
Because brown can't get on the park, hunter is terrible for culture and billings is a squib.That we accept we aren't winning the flag next year and we need to find the next wave? What do you mean? Why not give Brown, Hunter, Billings more time as well
Stop saying we would be cutting him when we wouldnt.You don't think veteran depth has an impact on the development of youth and culture? Come on man. TMac is not the one to cut. There are half a dozen others to cut before him and we could stop bringing in saints trash and got knows what else they are cooking up right now.
But we'll still bury our heads in the sand and continue to think we can win it next year.Because brown can't get on the park, hunter is terrible for culture and billings is a squib.
Mostly agree, though I still think there might be something there with Turner as a forward. Has a bit of presence about him, he's athletic, has a good attitude for a KPF (campaigner) and has a good kick on him.Should be moving Petty and Turner back and pumping games into Jefferson this year. All season long from round 1. It's not about competing anymore, it should be about finding out who we have for the future.
What the hell is the difference? No one gets cut when in contract in the AFL unless they breached something. If out of contract they either go somewhere else, get resigned or delisted.We arent cutting him, hes OOC. Big difference.
What's Turner gonna be? A 25 goal a season forward? It's so pointless. He only looked ok because we pushed Fristch up the ground, made him useless and gave more room for Turner.Mostly agree, though I still think there might be something there with Turner as a forward.

I don't mind if we persist with him for a bit. Petty on the other hand should never go near the forward line again. And agree we need to see Jefferson – have him and Turner battle it out over preseason for the second tall role.
I agree, nothing is changing. I just think TMac being resigned can be seperated. I'm more worried about hunter being resigned or billings being extended beyond next year.But we'll still bury our heads in the sand and continue to think we can win it next year.
Im sure all three of them would play in the forward 50 if Jefferson got a game. See the way they handle him at Casey, no confidence in him to be the man, just clog up his space with tall useless duds coz thats apparently great for his development. No way Goody goes with just JVR and Jeff. It will be the same useless 3 KPF set up in 2025.Mostly agree, though I still think there might be something there with Turner as a forward.

Agree, happy to keep turner up there and see what happens. Let Jeffo earn his spot. Send Petty back for the love of god.Mostly agree, though I still think there might be something there with Turner as a forward.

25 goals is probably a good return with the delivery you get from our midfield lol.What's Turner gonna be? A 25 goal a season forward? It's so pointless. He only looked ok because we pushed Fristch up the ground, made him useless and gave more room for Turner.
I'm sure we'll recruit some spud ruck who can join those three in the forward line tooIm sure all three of them would play in the forward 50 if Jefferson got a game.

What do mean "earn" his spot? We have one of the lowest scoring and most dysfunctional forward lines going around. We spent a first round pick on him, ****ing play him.Let Jeffo earn his spot.
Yeah but ultimately it doesn't achieve anything. JVR is the man down there, Fristch should be playing deep. Get the rest the **** out of the way25 goals is probably a good return with the delivery you get from our midfield lol.
I just like that he's mobile – think there's something to work with, but I'm not completely wedded to the idea.
Letting someone walk is different to cutting them is my point. We wouldnt be forcing him out the door, just not renewing a deal.What the hell is the difference? No one gets cut when in contract in the AFL unless they breached something. If out of contract they either go somewhere else, get resigned or delisted.
Work his ass off in the off season and preseason. Come back fitter and stronger. Start winning one on ones in training drills and match practice. Force the coaches hand.What do mean "earn" his spot?
