Duncan should retire

Stanley parfitt rohan murdoch willis jeka hardie will all go.
I reckon foster is 50/50.
Clohesy will be offered a deal but him and knevitt might look for more opportunities elsewhere.

I'd give Foster another year.

He's a big boy, and there's just a hint of 'something'.

Can’t believe he doesn’t deserve to be on an AFL list.

I think his age could count against him, do you see him as he is, playing as an inside mid at AFL level. What Tim Kelly did was unusual, usually these types of players become flankers or wingmen at the next level

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Old news… was with him a week ago… offered one he’d like two. That’s it in a nutshell. I thought I’d posted that on here?? Or… Maybe on another forum… lol

It's not old news if the player in question confirms it and hasn't previously.

He shows signs but then disappears for 90min. But how many other list changes we have might save him for 1 year.

At worst I think he makes a wingman with good pace. But he seems to have a reasonable inside game as well albeit in VFL standard competition.

He’s only 24. Might just be a late developer.

I think he'll run into the same problem Mitch Hardie did

Maybe. He’s got far more pace than Hardie and looks to be a better kick. Long shot we seriously consider him but we will need to top our list up some way.

Probably also saved by the fact that our list of tall forwards next year reads Cameron, Neale, Foster. That's it.

Leaves streaks on the car and doesn't apply even coats of wax?

post all day. Give a bit of joy on a sombre day. Finally posts something on Instagram....

I see Knevitt as a wing who can use his height to create a mismatch forward or roll back into defence. Just got to get games into him I reckon.

Yeah I agree he can be played there but I don't know that he has the speed to be super effective, this is what I said of him 2 days after the draft when he was an inside mid

Looking at what Wells was saying about his running capacity and his marking forward and back they might try start him on a wing and have him be a Menegola type, gut running to help out in the backline, might need it with the lack kpds coming through. One he fills out the wiry frame he could end up going to stoppages or go forward g-train style

I'm mostly just pointing out that with the attributes he has you can make a player out of him, you just have to figure out how. He just seems like he's got plenty of options if midfield doesn't work out

Hope he does it tomorrow.

I know it doesn't really matter when it happens, but it's a sentimental thing that really concludes this season and gets you raring to go for the next one.

Make it happen Baz, really FIGJAM it up and make GF week all about you (and us)

Honestly... id rather give Stanley 1 year then giving Duncan another year...

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Can’t believe he doesn’t deserve to be on an AFL list.

I have heard it said that having a shot at it previously and failing turns a lot of recruiters off.

I haven't been watching him at all, he's playing on ball? Previously he was just a small forward right?

Am I think of the same guy that was a small forward at Gold Coast?

Don’t know anything about his previous history other than he was a GC academy player.

I only first noticed him in the Southport final at KP against our VFL team. He had an impressive burst of acceleration and was able to win his own footy. Then again today every time he touched it he made good decisions and again showed impressive pace.

I know I’ve banged on about him in a few posts but he just looks a player to me.

I'd draft him on the promise of pace alone. Sign me up.

 

[AWOL]

Was sent this from a mate today. Don’t know if it was last night or where it came from so take it with a grain of salt…
