With Banners , the correlation between his drop in form is changed role to the start of year. Reverting to playing predominantly in fwd line or very little stints on the wing.
Hope he builds his tank more so he is given more wing time next year if he stays
Playing predominantly deep fwd or third tall is not it. Not kicking goals recently playing fwd adds to his frustration

I would bet that Banfield is in the team for Round 1 next year, as per 5 of his 6 years on the list. The only time he missed was when he was injured against WC in a pre-season match. Every year we always talk about how he will be replaced and relegated to the WAFL, only to see him lining up in the season opener. Free pearls for everybody!
Top of head. This is my thoughts with best 22.
Definite - Pearce, Clark, Chapman, Ryan, Serong, Young, Brayshaw, Jackson, Treacy, Amiss
Clearly best 22 but need to keep working on whatever we perceive as issues - Cox, Darcy, Johnson, Sturt, Frederick, Sharp, Walker
Vets: Will be given spots but will start to come under serious pressure - Fyfe, Walters, JOM, Aish, Switta, Wagner, Banfield
Youth & depth should like for like requirements be needed - Draper, McDonald, Reidy, Worner, Voss, NOD, Erasmus, Brodie
Then we just have real youth and last minute depth - Simpson, Davies etc
If we take the 17 from the 2 top lists we can then add a mixture of vets, youth or depth to create the best 22. The vets arenāt demanding selection and thatās part of the issue. Theyāve been serviceable, but not one of those vets lifts the team in crunch time IMO.

Can't disagree. Could be psychological and something he may help with.
This is one year where he has been in b22 without that fear of being dropped after a bad game or we get flogged and scapegoated
Most people would think that has led to his complacency, but I don't think so with banners. I think if he isn't performing it adds to the psychological aspect of wanting to perform and when he makes a mistake gets frustrated with himself, compounding on errors or being undisciplined. Having that psychology ingrained after being sub and being dropped needs to be overcomed
Yep,
In the WAFL.

I posted it earlier. Just the bits I thought worth sharing. Ignored any of the stuff related to the random people calling in.
List Mgmt. - 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets
Mark Duffield latest episode. Discusses Bolton, Baker and Graham Worth a listen. Anything of note?
www.bigfooty.com
Warner is not going anywhere this year. We have gone two drafts without using a first. Personally and for future trading it is important we use a first this year. No need to hold out a first round pick for Warner in 2024.
With regards to Switta, Brodie etc where possible we ask for future picks. A F2 for Switta and prob nothing better than an F4 for Brodie. A couple of 2nd round picks as well as first round and future first will be enough capital to make the trade for Warner in 2025.
In the scenario where we trade 9,10 and potentially 26 for Baker/Bolton, Richmond will have bunch of picks from mid second round they wonāt need which they can give back to us.
Pick 30, Pick 39, Pick 48, end of second round (band 4 for Graham - which will end up being say 40 in addition to 39).
We could get back two start of 3rd round picks which are quite handy.
Richmond also have Rioli at play which will likely be an early pick as well.

Injury free, but massively underdone. (No fitness base)
Played round 1, and next played round 18 so I think he will struggle all year.
Hard to see on TV, but someone mentioned that Draper was on Hogan early and some of Hogan's early goals were when Draper was looking after him, and Duffield mentioned GWS working hard to get the best match up for Hogan.
I guess this is where Pearce is missed in multiple areas.
1. Organising zone
2. organising match up
3. covering 198cm+ forwards
I wouldn't be picking Banfield on a wing over Nod, Johnson, Sharp
If Banfield is depth, it's as a forward
Idc if he had some small amount of wing minutes for 1 or 2 good games early season.
Would be playing him forward at Peel so he is ready to fill a role there.

We badly need 2 or 3 forward pockets, so midfielders are pushed into that role.
Banfield played his best football as a high half forward / winger.
Surely we can't go into another year with virtually no forwards pockets on our list.
I have high hopes for Delean, Just needs to put on size

He needs to find the ball a lot more. You would think he would be unlikely to make it.
Not sure picking Johnson or NOD on the wing is the best use of them either though.
Johnson looks the best big body to replace Fyfe on our list so that possibly changes his role, whilst NOD adds real speed compared to most inside mids whilst still having the body size to not get bullied in there.
Liam Baker might not be a wing as such but him playing the 'skinny side' wing that JOM is currently where he's sort of in between an inside mid and genuine wing might be ideal.
I think a midfield of Young, Brayshaw, Serong, NOD, Sharp, Baker and Johnson with stints from Bolton would go very very well in two years, and probably quite well next year too.
Bolton replaces Walters
Baker replaces Banfield
Johnson Replaces Fyfe
Noddy should be oin the wing but he did look good in the guts on Saturday
Nod is perfect for Johnno's split inside/wing role as he appears to have proper aptitude for both.
To me it looked like Cox was trailing Hogan by two or more paces from start to finish.
I thought Draper would have been the better match up given his closing speed and the lack there of in Cox.
No effective blocking of Hogan apparent. May have been effective blocking of the defenders.

One thing I certainly forgot when Hogan was devoid of confidence was just how smart a player he is. He coaches himself like when he dropped back to defense towards the end.
Heās also a very strong contested mark & good on the ground ball.
Sometimes guys like that have a day out. Especially when weāre trying to cover Cadman, Daniels & the other dangerous small whose name escapes me.
Walker (who kept Stengle goalless the week before was killing the other small but got moved onto Daniels for a while & the other guy started bobbing up.
Hogan is in career all time form. If ever we really needed Pearce.
But yeah, Cox looked like he was dragging an anchor.
There was no 1:1 matchup. Depending on where Hogan went and how the ball was transitioning, that would switch the responsibility for him.
Draper naturally spent a bit of time on Hogan as part of this (including, but not limited to, Hogan's first goal). Mostly it went how you might expect a Coleman-leading player in red hot form might go on a first year defender. Still Draper did well in contests here and there.
Hogan is and always had been a gun footballer, his leading patterns are insane. I remember going to a game at Marvel and watching Hogan and Tabs, the difference was unbelievable, Hogan would be changing his movements every time, Tabs was standing still until the ball was moving and simply follow.
Amiss has similar movements to Hogan, he just seems to tire a bit faster than Hogan.

That's what I was thinking and I also think it's optimistic, so I would throw in F1 for Richmond F2 coming back. It's only a one pick downgrade though...
