Young is just as good as Zirk-thatcher any day of the week. Better, imo.If Young barely gets picked for us and has been told to look elsewhere and BZT and Ratugolea are picked every week for a side that played in the prelim, doesnt that suggest that the gap is pretty big?

Judging from Austin’s tone, seems there’s a clear directive to play the kids more. To my ears at least.
Well we do have Weitering a top 2 key defender in the comp. Plus the two intercepting types that we wanted to play in Gov and Kemp. Port only have Allir as a lock in the back 7 as a tall.

We finished the season 2-7..No it doesn't.
We belted the Cats yet they ended up missing a GF by a whisker.
The MC screwed up by picking Doc and a bunch of others with no or limited match fitness..... selection integrity was compromised - and it sent a horrible message to the players....
Our midfield - after Cripps, Walsh (* not fit), Cerra (* not fit), Doc (*very not fit) and Kennedy was subbed out early (major brain fade). And another terrible message to the playing group.
Pitto as first ruck - a fail.
You'd almost reckon Vossy had thrown a lazy $500 on the Lions to win big!
Maybe he should land some fish..Maybe Austin should announce we're desperate for some defenders and will consider all reasonable offers?
Bravo DDAt the end of 2022 the same stuff was rolled out, we need to go to the draft to smooth out the cap and we will target players next year, 2023 comes around and we trade out two players, bring in Hollands and the cheap and go to the draft in the late 20’s, the same lines were rolled out, we need to hit the draft and we will target players next year and now its 2024 and we are rolling out the same lines.
We are desperate for a second key defender, last year one went as a free agent, this year Barass will go to the Hawks and Battle went to the Hawks, we weren’t linked to any, the only reason why a club desperate for another key defender wasn’t in the discussion is because we have no $$$$.
Maybe next year will be the year we have the $$$ to go after a player of need but people already are talking about the big $$$ needed to re-sign Weits and TDK.
With all theses gun players on big $$$$$ and the need to re-sign two more players on long term big $$$$ deals, why dont we have anything to show for it? It’s not like these players are young and then why are clubs who have been continually better than in the past, have $$$$ to target players in areas of need to strengthen their teams?
I think if it was someone like Bolton then both our first rounders would be on the table in a flash. I think our problem is that putting all our resources into someone like Houston may not solve our biggest problems and we will be completely out of salary cap room if we get him. We would then not be able to address them next year either.It's a bit odd.
Coll with the oldest list in the comp, arguably holding on by a thread to not fall off the cliff, want to spend all their 1st rounders on an established players. Shultz included if you count him based on the pick they used being this year.
Carlton, in the 'premiership age' window, want to go to the draft.
The best outcome for us is to do both, and in fairness I think that's what they are thinking too. I am glad we have the strategy of making sure that we don't completely ignore the draft, and bring in 1st round talent each year. We need to keep building that 18 to 24 year old base.
KC brought up about Houston still a big chance last night.Does anyone else think it's really strange that all of the ITK's turned up on here at the same time last week and then they all just disappeared again?
I’d hazard a guess that Glicksy’s lack of finesse brought on a shutdown from management. And I’d argue that’s a good response.Does anyone else think it's really strange that all of the ITK's turned up on here at the same time last week and then they all just disappeared again?
So Durdin is a midfielder but we’re playing him as a small forward ??
Can’t see how he breaks into the midfield group…particularly with two crook shoulders.
He’d be better off learning the small forward caper real quick.
I hope we don't have to wait 6 years for another EP postDoes anyone else think it's really strange that all of the ITK's turned up on here at the same time last week and then they all just disappeared again?

Imagine that's why we brought in Haynes. Smart, responsible player who can trust himself to make a decision with his positioning, kicking, and can halve a contest if needed.JSOS also has something that you can't teach, footy smarts. Just knows where to run and is not prone to brain fades like Kemp...
After listening to the filth the last couple of days (Leppa and the flogs calling in on SEN) I’ve done a 180 on Houston out of spite. We must get him but need to go aground GCS to do it as the filth appears to have successfully shut us out there for the time being.
Me too. Houston + 2 quality picks in before the Campo boys. Probably decimates our 2025 draft hand but so be it!Got a weird feeling we will still end up with Houston by the end of this trade period
How would that happen?Me too. Houston + 2 quality picks in before the Campo boys. Probably decimates our 2025 draft hand but so be it!
