Where did he have his AFL preseason?
What X factor did Hustwaite and Tardew have?

He hasn’t but he did a VFL pre-season. Would have some distance to reach AFL standards.

Hustwaite and Tardew both consistently put in strong performances. They demonstrated x-factor in their own way. Admittedly less than Farrant.

Hustwaite was named in our best 10 times last season - only behind Bianco - yet couldn’t secure a list spot. Yes, he is a different position but you’ve got to be performing a high level, more so than what Farrant is now. More goals, play on senior AFL bodies for a start.

Write me a script will you - any sedatives will do!

You'll be fine, just don't mention Lobb

I've been struck off!!

I thought it was just a rumour.
But don't worry i won't repeat the details - you have a reputation to protect.

Whilst on the Lobb topic …..
I watched him closely against us & thought he was putrid ? , but then thought
was he putrid putrid ? or just putrid ?, but then thought was he putrid because Howe made
him look putrid ?or was he just putrid because he is putrid ?…..
Conclusion, he won’t play on Howe when he plays with us next year ! So hopefully he,s not Putrid
*Sorry to the anti Lobbers …

I love your assessment. He wasn't the best but I think he provides a better contest than Cox up forward, whether that's enough, who knows

TikTok game should be enough to lure him.

Be a good fit for GWS tbh.

I doubt we'd be interested in him anyway. I'm just having a bit of fun

You are querying X Factor of some mid-season pick ups while being the president of Fin Macrae's fan club

I think you should go back and read the other comments from other posters on this issue.
As for Finn I have no idea what the connection is particularly as both Tardew and Hustwaite didn’t make our list. So to that extent the Club rates him higher than both.

The guy from wolf Creek

John Jarratt?....

The Cotton On link is too strong I’m honestly not sure why this isn’t announced.

If there’s ever a “I took unders to come here” component this is the most obvious scenario

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Presumably he’s going to the catery because he heard the arancini balls were tasty, not to mention those little spring rolls they do.

He comes to us well fed and ready to play…

So going by the talk about town we have interest in Barrass, Yeo, Battle, Lobb and Smith.
Yeo could come to us without a trade required. I wonder out of the rest who we will go the hardest for....

Lobb can stay where he is

Seems to be a North-supporting troll from tweets I've seen.

The amount of rubbish on Twitter these days, typically uninformed, partisan and peurile posting, really detracts from what is at times a very useful platform.

Like, this is the kind of shitty tweet from a random I’d be expecting to see from Dave, not from a mod.

he might but he is a massive spend we don't need.

Mihocek, McStay, Krueger, Smit, Steene and Cox.

Granted a couple are still projects (I don't see Begg there next year) but do we really need to spend 700k+ on a guy who would in the bottom 6 in the team?
