Very optimistic, glass half full way of looking at it.

I’d probably prefer a wheelchair bound Louge to Corr but each to their own. Being agile is great but constantly being out of position, unable to read the flight, out-bodied at every contest and being unable to kick are not ideal traits, agility aside.

Yeah, but with Pink and Dawson as lockdowns I hope Corr returns to a 3rd tall interceptor role, which was what I thought he was brought in for. We can only hope that the changes brings something better than we had. The interest then is who makes way for Logue when he returns.

 

[Sticksphat]

doesn't really help us with the big gorilla forwards...McKay, Daniher, Hawkins

Yes, potentially a new weakness. Haven't seen Pink, but Coor and Dawson do get outbodied by bigger players. Would presume we will have a team defense approach for these types, and the improvement in D50 comes from being better when it hits the ground. Can only hope.

l heard North have signed him for 3 years...

I’m hearing it’s 1 year with another year on the cards depending on certain criteria being met . Cheap as chips can’t go wrong.

With other clubs into him, and us on the bottom, I expect it would have been more than 1 year for him to choose us.

 

[speedy]

It will be a golden era for big footy if he turns out better than BMac. And also better than Ratugolea with pinky being right under poort's noses.

I’m not right up with things but I know North had been speaking to him all year and committed after the grand final. He has that connection with North when he first got let go by the Swans . Don’t know what other clubs were doing.
1 year with automatic things in place might suit Toby. May think if I can’t make it in my prime is there much point hanging around . Was pretty happy with everything at Glenelg job wise.

 

[DocSholl]

We're also the one club that can offer him a pretty clear path into the senior team.

 

[DuckYeah]

I have good hope for this one. Seems committed and driven to have a red hot crack. Get in there son!

The pink one.

Is a good mark. If Dawson, Biggie and Corr can cover the KPFs maybe Pink could help out Larkey.

 

[DesertRoo]

Is it just me or did we recruit Blake Drurys older brother?

Yes we're going to play a guy who's just been voted best sanfl defender in the fwd line..

194cm and 197cm???? Someone's lying

194cm and 197cm???? Someone's lying

Thought I read Biggy was closer to 200

Gets number 16. The next Thommo?

 

[Liam Boy]

mentioned this in the AFLW thread but I spotted him at the tram stop on the way into the game last night and then later in the grandstand. Nice to see him immediately getting into it and being a part of the club.

Looks like he in channel 10's sports report tonight.

Which one’s Toby?

The littlie, the other one is biggie

Said all the right things. Facilities fantastic. Not coming over to play VFL. Thinks he brings good defensive capabilities, strong marking and good pace for a big man. Nickname likely to be Pinky.

The next Steve McCann.

As soon as he said Pinky, i thought of this guy :
