It does feel that we've got a big crisis in the key forwards spot.Dixon retires, Scully is delisted, Marshall's career up in the air, Esava and Finlayson just aren’t good enough and Lord has regressed. Georgiades, thankfully, has really come on this year, but what are we doing at this position?
I don’t think Lukosius is the sole answer. Surely, if Houston still wants out, the club looks at drafting Whitlock/Armstrong early and not at another flanker.
We recruited him to be first ruck. 650k sounds around the mark in my view.He moved cause he was 3rd in line at Richmond and only had 1 year left on his deal.
If he didn’t play much in the last year of his deal his next offer would have been pretty low, so would have been a huge risk to stay.
I’ve never said he’s on peanuts , but there’s no reason to suggest he’s on the sort of coin that we need to get him off the cap.
And as I’ve said, if he leaves, we need to replace him so how does the logic work that in order to recruit a 3rd in line ruck here we had to pay him a mint, but to recruit a ruck to replace him we can get someone so significantly cheaper as to provide cap relief ?
That doesn’t add up.
Hardwick told him he's not in his team.So a three time Premiership
coach wants to move on a player? Should we be wary?
Ridiculous.Look, you clearly just want to blame Ken 100% when it's not him that's 100% to blame ffs... you'd know that if you had an IQ higher than a potato
Kenny is at fault, yes, BUT it's the other coaches who COACH and DRILL their players in their positions. Not hard to fathom.
Who cares if Chad coached well in the SANFL. This is the AFL ffs... bigger difference.
Rozee Butters Bergman. We need to replenish our list quick smart before these guys hit 30. Problem is this year we have late picks and our reserves list is looking bad.
We need immediate change to the senior coach, reserves coach, game plan, recruitment philosophy, operations manager, fitness regime.
If they can just get Perryman, Cummin, Benny Barrett, Richards even.. heck, even Lukosus... and the father son prospects plus change they'll be fine for next couple years to work the draft or if there's any restricted free agents to get. It's not as bad as you think. Only big issue in my eyes is a legitimate tall key forward that's dominant and can actually lead and mark for starters. Whether they cam somehow pull that off over the pre season with Esava, who knows.. ? I'm confident if Port get a Good forwards goal kicking and forward craft coach he'll surprise people. But that's the biggest issue for me, a true KPF.
To do a Hawthorn you have to finish bottom 4 and not just for one year.Hawthorn is proof that you can rebuild quickly under the right coach. I am happy to take some pain if we actually make some real changes to coaching and playing group.
Anyone know if Lewis Young is a free agent? First time paying attention to him tonight, but thought he played well. Only played 8 games this year, so might not be super expensive, just not sure if we go after another KPD.
We've had opportunities to get him before and have not. So after getting BZT and Rat can't see them chasing him now.Anyone know if Lewis Young is a free agent?

Richards is not going to be the solution. He’s an upgrade on McEntee and Evans but no more. Barrett maybe adds something we don’t have.If Port get Richards and even Benny Barrett in draft then that should fix that hole. Barrett looks like he'll be a fire starter up forward pocket.. that, or he'll be one heck of a small defender.

He won't be a defender but if you take a look at his tackling numbers, you'll see why he'll become a fan favourite soon. Chases and tackles like crazy and when you think about next year's you'll have SPP in that hybrid role with Rioli, DBJ and Barrett.If Port get Richards and even Benny Barrett in draft then that should fix that hole.

A loss on Friday and it’s assured Philthy05 don’t worry.It’s not assured. We’ve been done this road before.
Hawthorn don't have an unusual amount of hight draft picks in their recent down years.To do a Hawthorn you have to finish bottom 4 and not just for one year.
