Happy to see Luke Edwards come in. Unpopular opinion. Gaff has been turning it over a lot of late and I believe taking him out will have a positive effect moving forward.

O
I think you'll find this a rather popular opinion

Has Ryan travelled yet?

Out of the scrimmage players I see brander having the most potential to develop into a solid 200 gamer+. He was below average last season and has hit some good projection this year. Great disposal user and decision maker under pressure. Hope he gets a run at it next week.

Has Ryan travelled yet?

No, Simmo confirmed they left him in Perth for now. Seemingly no plans beyond this weekend.
If the hub continues Simmo doesn't seem too concerned about being able to fly him across.

I was with you up to Petruccelle.

Remember how excited we got with Ash Smith's pace when we drafted him........

I have come to the conclusion we should trade Petch and use that list spot on a balanced mid / forward say like a Sam Butler. Someone with good football background, good ground ball skills who just knows how and where to run and accumulate.

For a team that is desperate for midfield support from our half forwards Petch unfortunately adds none. He is a cherry on the cake player.

He (P) was the 4th choice. And the closest thing we have to a point of difference after the other three/two types. I'd take a fit and motivated Cameron over him but I can't see Cameron staying. I can only see him getting re-invigorated by playing with his brother.
So cherry on the cake is actually not too bad if the cake is good.

Winder seems more of a project and even if he comes good is more of the skilful, x-factor, indigenous type in the Ryan mold.

If we can trade for a balanced then fine. But I don't see him as a big trade bait where clubs will be throwing much our way as an offer.

Did Gaff punch someone again?

Myabe hes finally dropped. Cant say I would blame them.

 

[Balls In]

Gaff out and Brander still not in.

Pretty big story imo

No way. Brander will tease his way to a fair amount of games, but it won't be at WC and his career will ultimately be pretty insignificant.

Harry Edwards will have a great career imo.

Petruccelle is like a shiny red Ferrari. Everyone would love to have one.

Hub won't continue. We can have 50% crowd at Optus next weekend.
