Think he's playing forward to try and help make a contest with his aerial ability. Jack and Ryan clearly aren't enough to give a contest down the line.
Didn't work last weekend, but worked vs the Cats.

It only worked against the Cats bc we had a genuine tall in Miller assisting Jack. It wasn’t bc of Pickett.
We had Ryan playing tall alongside jack in the next game...

That was a nightmare
We cant help injuries unfortunately and in some cases form
Cotchin , Prestia , Graham are fill in players in that position and are not long term options
Seth Campbell, Cumberland , Smith & Clarke will be taking these roles 2024 and beyond and we dont really know what Steely Green's position will be
Or we could also have the option of running Baker through the foward line depending on the developments of the younger guys and their positions
KPF is the main position we are falling short and need options as we have all our eggs in the Bradtke/Ryan basket and we are atleast 1 and probably 2 players short in this area

Just when you think change is coming same old crap Ross wing,and this guy forward whom cant take a mark but can take super marks all around the ground the guy is lost up there ffs. Coach leaves cause he cant get anything from players, new guy who has been with dh nearly the whole time keeps our super plan going
Well, I can agree on that front.

I think I've run out of patience with this guy, I don't think he will be in the team much next season.
Deadset liability atm
He is about number 11 in the team that needs to be dropped
Play him as a sub
We must get him to 100 games no matter what happens
BIGGER PICTURE GUYS !!!!

Thing I noticed at the ground was how much he lacked the energy for the tackle inside. Just coasted.
He should be dropped but I agree with others, he’s down the list and we need to get him to 100 games like we need to get Cotch to 300 games. Today we carried so many players and still got within of a so called top team.

McQualter said he was tagging Rozee and did his job well.
I didn't like his game, but if the coaches are happy, that's all that matters.

Season is shot. Play Banks in his spot and make him sub.

If Cotchin, Graham & Prestia are only "fill-ins" then our list management needs to be throttled. Around $1.5m in cap space between those 3. Not what you pay "fill ins" at all.
Graham is a massive disappointment really. Earmarked as a captain once and has ended up being borderline VFL level.
The club needed to make this change 2 years ago, but the taste of glory really influenced our better judgement. Not just the club is guilty of that, the supporters were mostly supportive of it.
Looking back at our list after the 2019 GF, we were awesomely placed to have no massive "drop off" in transition between era's. We have a great list, with a good blend of young and old. If you told me after the 2019 GF that we would also have 5 picks in the top 30 in 2021 without really losing any talent required, i would have danced around the streets.
Its a valuable lesson for the club and its supporters. Much like a session at the pub - if you have had a great day already and thinking between "one more Beer" or "going home"..... you always "go home". One more beer after a long session is never a good idea. Unless some hottie making an equally bad decision decides to sit next to you, of course.
Interesting. Rozee had 27 touches, 6 clearances, 8 inside 50's and 9 score involvements.
Not quite sure Marlion's tag job was very effective.

Rozee still had 27 disposals not his greatest game but seemed it a wasted a tag if that was the case.

It's becoming clearer to me that our recruitment team stuffed up that draft.

It is feeling that way. Even at the time of the draft happening, the selections didn't feel right. Felt like we were drafting the same type of player over and over again, and it was a type of player we really didn't require. It's feeling a bit like 2004 again tbh.
