I just love that we have you guys ensuring the right from the wrong is always sorted around here!
Mate you need to Google semantics before you come at the kingKents ability to argue semantics when someone only agrees with 95% of what he says and not 100% is extraordinary.

We need midfielders with pace and skill. Barass and Houston do not help this.I already owned it - I said it.
Barass and Houston into our squad would make a big difference.
Again, I’d still prefer to bring in a top young mid and another top kid if we had the chance.
Plus the other 2 teams who play the most like us is blues and Swans. Both get found out in finals same way as us. Yes swans made the granny twice in 3 years but got smashed both times. Got very lucky against GWS this year and then got the easy prelim against port after they had their granny effort the week before.It's a horrible horrible idea. We haven't won a final in 3 years and only won finals in one year of the last 6 years. Giving away our future on a list that's being coached by a guy who thinks it's still 2021 would be monumentally stupid.

The style just doesn't hold up against the best when it matters most.
Which realistically, is probably best case scenario this year.We can have all the 'great ideas' all we want. Reality is none of it's happening. The only players we are bringing in are fringe/delisted players.
TBH it’s a good idea. Initially I was thinking no way. But there’s merit in it. It’s a Hail Mary shot at a flag and won’t happen. But there’d be some at the club who’d back it in.Shows how little about football you know. It would make lever pick up the 3rd best forward and play the intercept role. Frees rivers up to play on ball and trac to play more forward. Gives us an elite kicker out of the back half that we don’t have.
would make us a 2 goal better defensively team and a 2 goal better attacking team. Which would make us a lock for top 4 and another shot at the flag.
More that they setup defensively and around the contest in a similar way - i.e. they are trying to protect their defensive weakness in the air but yes, they definately go faster and take the game on when they get it. Agree there.I'll give you blues as somewhat similar to us, but swans? They are very focused on fast ball movement and elite kicking skills, and not great defensively. Reckon they're almost opposite to us.

Swansirst rely on clogging it up and numbers around the contest - once teams matched that, they struggled. Even tigers beat them by just matching the contest and keeping pressure high. Other teams copied late in the year and finals are always like that. Reminded me a lot of us in back end of 22' and all of 23'. Couldn't even get an easy win against a shit side as they would bring the rage to the contest knowing that was our 1 wood (and only wood it seems).
Also - I think we are overrated defensively, we sacrifice entire parts of our game for it. May is a gun 1:1 and so is McVee. The rest often get found out.
Fast ball movement, chaos ball and the ball hitting the deck and we go to water.
Houston would.We need midfielders with pace and skill. Barass and Houston do not help this.
It was a question for the whole threadI'm going to teach you to re-learn the quote function if it's the last thing I do
