Frost isn't a VC.Despite frost being a VC, if the offer comes, I reckon the hawks encourage him to move on.
He's a clarko favourite and north will be looking for an interim FB. Could be part of a trade with westcoast who desperate need mature players given their retirements
He is part of the leadership group. Hopefully he is replaced next year with one of our youngsters.Frost isn't a VC.
Yep forward line is a massive work in progress.We have a functioning midfield now, which was step 1, moving on TOM and JOM, bringing in some replacements and seeing the young blokes show signs for the future, it's gone from a long term problem area to a potential future strength, now I think we need to focus on KPF and general forwards, kicking a winning score more often should increase our wins column.
Unfortunately with Brockman looking like asking for a trade, Wingard injury and mostly underperforming, the cupboard is looking bare, we have Lewis, Breust and Moore, then a bunch of part time mids taking up forward spots, not really kicking anywhere near 2 goals a game or big pressure/tackle numbers or goal assists, which is limiting our scoring imo, that's why Watson/Duursma will help, maybe Gresham?
I agree it is a work in progress.Yep forward line is a massive work in progress.
A path to improve - add Gresham (FA), duursma (draft) + development of butler (hopefully a break out coming) and possibly bennetts and our mid/small fwd stocks will have improved (but prob not there yet / not assured / still looks thin). Pressure an issue.
Talls is the challenge - we have Lewis and possibly Kosi can hold down 2nd ruck (but poor as a kpf). For our 2nd kpf we are hoping DGB/Ramsden/Ryan makes it as nothing else on the list. Appears unlikely we’ll get a tall forward in draft or trade this year so will be likely working with what we have.
We also need some more class around the ground - Henry may help - but too often we don’t kick to a forwards advantage. I’m not convinced impey, weddle, seamus, Morrison, Amon as a group have enough class by foot (Amon does). Sicily, scrim and Hardwick can kick but don’t really run with ball. I expect we’ll find a role for Cam Mackenzie next year. I’d almost keep Jeka just for his footskills alone.

I think this would be delusional by us. We finished 16th and have had a shocking record against the teams near us. A few good wins against the top teams does not cover up the cracks. We need more mids and forwards and a good key back. We do need to trade and delist reasonably aggressively - only six changes is not aggressive enough.
Interesting.... If he was not contracted for next year, he'd have been on my list of delistees.Sure but all I’m saying is that Sam made a point of singling him out for his improvement this year when asked about the improvement of our midfield (along with Day and Jai). So whilst he is down the pecking order, I’d just be surprised if we move him on based on Sam’s comments. Could be wrong, maybe he’s just buttering him up.
When are out exit meetings?
Kosi , so bad he’s not even listedView attachment 1789903

If you have any kicking statistics which rank Finn Maginness above Chad Wingard, you know they're not worth reading.View attachment 1789903

Finally a square up for Vickery!Not sure if it amounts to a hill of beans but there is chat on the Tigers board that Richmond has approached Kosi’s management presumably with a possible offer. Posters there seem mildly keen on it. Could be nothing of course but for the sake of furthering the list management convo, thought I’d mention it.

This will occur. No doubt AC likes this bloke. I hope there is a contest for his services as long as we get the big forwards we are targeting.Not sure if it amounts to a hill of beans but there is chat on the Tigers board that Richmond has approached Kosi’s management presumably with a possible offer.

Who are the big forwards we are targeting?This will occur. No doubt AC likes this bloke. I hope there is a contest for his services as long as we get the big forwards we are targeting.
It is all about structure and depth.

Yes I was a bit harsh on Kosi. It was a cheap(ish) shot on my behalf.Reckon Kozi is a bit better than most think. Tough player and gives his all. Has to play ruck and forward to cover no rucks the previous year and the often injured Lewis. Think the side and he and starting to come out of the shite mess we've been in for a few years
