I'm pretty much "at peace" with whatever decision Joe makes.


I'm not particularly keen on the majority of players mentioned. Matt Hammelmann maybe, because he's got that untapped potential aura about him. Or Peter Wright, though he's not likely to move back north.


Probably prefer to pick up one of our academy talls as a late draft selection, or preferably in the rookie draft.

We recruited Ryan for this eventuality.

Is he redeemable or did we just get it totally wrong ?

Joe might just need a year off even if he doesn't know that himself . It's possible.

WHATS the story with Gillett was rated quite highly seems likely to be a rookie at best now
 
Josh Schache is available. He’d probably want to join us because his dad played with us. Also, he’s a spud that got delisted and no one likes so he’d probably be cheap
 
Stating the obvious here, but Joe would be the second hardest player to replace on our list, with Andrew the only player I’d have ahead of him in list importance.

There’s no obvious replacement for him out there either. I wouldn’t be against Lynch but that’s a huge risk on that money, everyone else very uninspiring. Jake Ricardi would be decent enough, but with GWS exodus I don’t think they’ll lose any additional players they don’t need too

Short term it will suck. Long term, rejig the cash and go hard at a younger replacement maybe.
But no use worrying too much, as we clearly have the best in the business dealing with these things.
 
Isn't the issue with Lynch a combination of age + walking injury + big contract + we'd need to give him multiple years? Unless someone jumps out, we basically need someone for a year until we can target a juicy fish during FA.

Did not like reading today that the two FA key forwards for next year (Allen and Fogarty) are already in discussions about extensions. You play for two clubs that are picking in the top 5, be a mercenary please!

It looks like Adelaide have promised Fogarty leadership positions, didn't they make him captain for a game or two this season? Be interesting to see what happens.

I actually think Joe is the hardest player to replace. We almost have to change our entire game plan. Guys that athletic, that tall and that talented don’t grow on trees.
 
Will be rapt if Joe decides he truly wants to play on but very much at peace with it if he doesn't, can you imagine the amount of scrutiny we will subject him through each time he doesn't chase or his body language seems off?

AFL is hard, pre-seasons brutal, it is not something you can be less than 100% committed to.

Key to how we set up will be whether we go to 5 on the bench this year, if we do it's a no-brainer in my mind to play either Fort or Smith and I am really keen to see Smith get a decent run, correct me if i'm wrong but he's 23 year old right? A baby for a ruckman, but I have already seen him create contests and bring the ball to the ground and his tap work is good.

Eric once he gets over the osteitus will be much more mobile and regain penetration on his kicking, Logan is on a stellar trajectory, we welcome back Linc and our forward line is super dangerous. Cam, Kai, Linc and Cal are really good overhead marks so all Smith or Fort need to do is bring the ball to ground, and bring Charlie into play.

Bringing in a Casboult or Lynch also takes a list spot we could us to draft a young KPF anyone we pick would be most unlikely to debut for 2 years but is assured of playing with decent players in the reserves, a team with our current strength should have one eye on the future rather than casting about for a veteran we hopefully wont need.

Whatever the coaching group do I will be happy with, but for some reason all I can think is football atm :) and I needed to unload this stream of thought.

If we go with 2 shit key forwards next year it'll be like sydney in the grand final.
 
At the end of the day we have no one on the list that can replace Joe, even a 60% replacement.

Of the names mentioned, they are better than what we have currently so if Joe retires (he won’t btw), The club is going to bring someone in and a lot of us won’t like who it is, but have to trust the club.
