Amiss, Treacy, Jackson, Bolton, Freddy, Sturt/Switta/Walters is a pretty good forward line. Especially with Young, Serong, Brayshaw and Darcy rotating through

Pretty good? I can't name a better one.
So, now sitting on my balcony on a balmy Bangkok evening eating marinated barbecued chicken on skewers
With cold pineapple accompaniment with hot sticky rice and my mind is drifting to watching Shai do for us what he did to us at Optus last year.
There’s probably a war somewhere in the world but right now I’m on another planet.
Fremantle is a top 4 team next year and definitely in contention.

Adelaide is very good, Rankine, Thilthorp, Fogarty, Keays, ANB. Think Freo still has a better forward line on paper though.
Cats have great smalls plus Cameron, but not balanced.
Lions had the best forward line but don’t now that Joe is gone.
Fair claim Freo have. Still have to deliver on potential.

Keep hope alive. I love how footy season is over but here we still are talking about it.
Giants are up there. Hogan, Stringer, Cadman, Green, Daniels, and Jones. A Coleman medal, three AAs, an AA squad, the 2022 pick 1 and 21.

Yeah that's probably the bigger threat. I'd argue we have a more balanced forward line with all the attributes - speed, x factor in our smalls but can kick 50+ and we have the superior talls. But theirs perhaps more mobile. More pressure in ours with Switta, JT etc. We'd be more balanced all over the field and full of more upside. Honestly, if we're all fit, JL has no excuses.

I think ours is more balanced and we have more upside. We are definitely top three and have scope to grow. Optimism abounds!

Top 4 is gonna be tight to get in, So serious position playing wise we are in.
If the dockers dont make finals in 2025, Longmuir will be sacked.
We make finals in 2025, he gets a 2 year deal, even if its 8th spot.
I wont mind a repeat of 2022 of getting a home elim final and a finals win.
If we don’t make top 4, he should be let go.
If you can’t win 16 games with this squad, go coach in a country town.
100% correct. It should be top 4 or GTFO
Different coach would got us to a top 4 the past season.
Two failures in a row isn’t good enough.

I was all for patience last season. This coming season the expectations should be top four and a prelim.
We still have improvement on every line, have added a top line small forward who can play some midfield minutes as a point of difference and have the best young KPF's in the game.

Fu(k me, this is supposed to be the optimism thread, take your negative “sack the coach” crap to the vent thread or at least the JLo thread.
Everyone is well aware that 2025 is make or break for him, no need to start the eco chamber up again.

Brutal but accurate. Mind you I’m really confident we’re gonna go off like a skyrocket.

Agreed - no need to add the negative what if. We are a no excuse club 2025 onwards.
I am looking forward to seeing our guys lift to match the expectation.
Before the Bolton, I was saying to people we are going to win the flag in 2025.

Here’s a positive.
This guy is only 22.
This guy is only 22.
Walker has played 64 games and most likely take another step up in performance this year.
And he was 19 when he played that semi final against Collingwood at the MCG in front of 90k people.
That was worth 10 games of experience right there despite the backlash of his performance that night.

Almost hard to believe how young he is. Still has improvement in him and should be a nightmare for small forwards for a decade. Plus he releases Clark and Chappy to attack from the back half.

I’m definitely keeping a lid on it.
