He looked injured in the Port game. His man was running off him massively. I think we were playing too many sore or injured players late in the year.

He stood up in the 2nd Derby and swung the game. Hard to impact every week playing a wing, especially if you get beaten in the middle.
He’s been solid without being a world beater. We got him to replace Mundy after losing 5 old heads, it was a reasonable move for our list profile to try and balance the 2022 age shift.
I think shouldn’t be gifted games anymore. The best team is selected every week and you should only have two bad games in a row before being replaced if replacements are performing at Peel.

You can’t cut Walters, Worner, Murphy or Delean as they are all contracted for 2025

Yeah, You can pay them out or the two parties mutually come to the decision to pay half of the remaining salary which we would of done with Jack Anthony and Sylvia back in the day. Eagles cut their Langdon with a year to go. Happens now and then.
Brodie into Mindy's role is fair enough, but who replaces Mork?

If we snag Bolton and Warner, I’d leave Baker to west Coast and take Joe Richards instead. Cheaper in salary and more of a need
We don't need Richards if Switta stays. He can just be a pure pressure forward since Bolton and Warner are far better mid rotations.
Yeah I’m not sure about that.
We still need one more goal kicker up front.
Bolton takes one spot but I’d rather nit be playing any of Banfield, Walters or Emmett
Will he come here though if we are getting Bolton & Kossi is on the radar for the future?
Surely Carlton or other vic clubs will be all over him. We only get the WA player scraps.
We really don't, Bolton and Warner would be our 3rd and 4th highest goal kickers this year and Sturt (who would be 3rd on averages) only played half the season.
What we'd need far more is pressure. So if Richards is good at that, I'm ok with it on that front, but I can't see how he is B22 unless there are some role changes.
He’s pretty decent imo.
The next thing is to firm up O’Driscoll.
He needs to be taking O’Meara’s wing from him with Banfield as back up. Banners plays better in that winger role imo.

O'Driscoll and O'Meara were already swapping through the wing role that last game, but Nathan was moving to the stoppage once the position restrictions moved and Jaeger moved from the forward line to the wing.
O'Driscoll is clearly higher impact at the stoppages, or closer to them at least.
The wing role sucks. Objectively sucks.

The wing is what it is. It's very important for transition obviously and to either provide an extra at the contest or the get out option close or down the line. You gotta be prepared for low disposals.
But I think the coming off season would be great to integrate O'Driscoll into the mid rotations. We need more options in there just for starters and he seemed right at home in there in that last quarter against the Giants. They missed a trick not playing him more in there against Port when we needed some oomph in the middle. He really can bring that dynamism. Still needs more fitness I'd say.
The hate towards JOM is a little excessive. Yes he had a slow start to the season after some delays in the PS. Yes he had some games where he didn’t perform to the required level.
He played some different roles for the team in 2024. Some new roles. Not sure that wing is his best position but with some injuries and lack of depth in the role he fulfilled the Wing role with stints at HF and HB. He made a bad decision to play on late in the GWS game. He played well in the game against WC and ok against Port. The three games in between were average. Sharp has some average games on the other wing also.
What is driving me coco is the calls that Will Brodie should have played instead of him. Brodie is no good on the wing. Had very short stints at Peel and didn’t go well. Brodie has a terrible tank. Like back of the running time trial packs.
There is an article about his personal best time trial in his last pre-season at Gold Coast. The article also mentioned that all the boys were finished and clapping him and he encouraging him to the end.
I also then read we need to play Erasmus instead of JOM. I’m an advocate for Erasmus but Erasmus also doesn’t form part of the wing rotation. Erasmus for mine is similar to Fyfe just smaller in body size. He needs to start to replace Fyfe next year. Fyfe to be managed, play sub etc. Erasmus to be brought into the mix more.
I do agree that JOM due to his pecking order now in the team will be in and out of rotations - incl. sub and some games at Peel. Walters, and Aish have dropped to this level. Fyfe unlikely to play at Peel but instead managed more often.
Also the talk about the Meek loss to Hawks being a result of us bringing in JOM is rubbish. We used one of the picks from Lobb to bring in JOM. His first year salary basically paid by Hawks. There many clubs interested in Meek - incl. West Coast. He chose Hawks. Regardless of whether the last min trade of JOM happened or not Meek was on his way to the Hawks.
I have to put up with Eagle supporters telling me consistently now how we lost another good player and players get better after they leave Freo. At the end of the day I’m actually pleased for Meek. He served his time as an understudy developing away at Peel. At one point he was playing a lot of WAFL reserves and found his way into the league side playing full back. What it shows me is our development programs are very good and our talent identification is also very good especially for ruckmen. Hence interest it seems from other clubs in both Reidy and Knobel.

Um yes you can, it's called getting fired.

Whatever we do these guys need to not be in our forward line in 2025. So Bolton, Pickett, Richards, Baker are all viable and have a place.
Banfield to me is actually a better option on the wing than JOM if he can up his endurance, more like a defensive winger. Feel gross saying this.

He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Like the info he gets is straight from here and other sources. Nothing of his own

Anyone catch Ryan Daniels on Triple M just then? He claimed to have some news about Chad Warner but I missed it.

That's from Ryan Daniels. Bone on bone isn't a death sentence and can be managed. It will mean that Darcy will have to drop a little weight.

So I was told that by someone who said they were friends with the family I'll see them in a few weeks. I'll ask for more details. I was told their parents were spending way more time in Victoria due to business.
