I seriously hope we are having a look at Matt Kennedy

Don't reckon he's the answer

Smith - get him.

Go hard for Oliver.

We need 2 star mids

I like the idea of Oliver, however I have serious concerns for either his body being cooked or his brains fried.

I do too, gotta try things

 

[Larry Donohue]

Should have gone hard for Houston

Sounds like he has a point to prove to Voss (a bit like Dow last year) so maybe motivated to play career best footy.

When did Dow play career best footy?

That third quarter is going to haunt me for a long time. Why we kept going down the MCC wing has me f••••d. We had switches on, in particular Humphries again and again and just kept playing straight into Brisbane’s hands. That on top of our biggest weakness - the midfield. Turned out to be too much. I am utterly depressed and shattered. To the point the inevitable Smith announcement will do nothing to move me. Genuinely hate football on days like these. I’ll come good… maybe just after the next premiership win.

to our midfield, we will also add a fully fit Cam Guthrie aswell

I'm an optimist with footy. Life is too short and the game isn't important enough to worry yourself with negatives.

With that being said, we cannot - under any circumstances - be accounting "fully fit Cam Guthrie" into our plans next year IMO.

We said the exact same thing last year, and it actually somehow got worse.

Even if he does stay fit, we have no idea what Cam at full health looks like anymore. It certainly didn't look awe inspiring when we saw it this year.

If we're talking about internal factors that can make us take that next step, it's the youngsters where we should be placing our faith.

Hopefully Holmes, Henry, Humphries, Bruhn, SDK, Mullin, & Mannagh can take the next step (which varies for each of them) and COS, Clohesy, Clark, & Conway can surprise.

When we talking external factors, then that's Bailey Smith & Co, which you rightly point out.

Yep that’s fair.

I guess I’m more ‘hoping’ to add a fully fit 2022 Cam Guthrie because Christ we’ve missed him the last two seasons

I'm pretty confident of landing bailey smith for next year, but I'm sceptical we're adding a fully fit can Guthrie to the midfield rotation.

When he can't back mid season he played predominantly off HB and that's where i expect him to stay

More a comment about Kennedy, not necessarily about Dow (although before he was dropped for finals he had been pretty good for Carlton).

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Ok I feel like this is the baseline we need to work with. How do we improve this?
