What are you most worried about for your team in 2025?

[danster168]

Lack of speed across the ground and still lacking fire power up forward. Seeing a dramatic decline in Steven May and having no replacement because we didn't take Tauru

This is a whole lot of fuss over my post that amounted to "These are the types of responses I found interesting and uninteresting. Here is my own contribution". You've picked apart my phrasing but that was the point, that nobody wants injuries yet all have a more detailed understanding of their club's potential weaknesses - hence their interesting points made. It was a mere sidenote that lead into my on topic response.

Focussing on that first bit to have this back and forth discussion on semantics has actually derailed the thread, so congratulations. On top of your one word response of "injuries", you have now made the thread about 10x as boring.

Ok, so people are allowed to mention injuries, but only in a manner that you find interesting.

Otherwise it’s too boring for you and shouldn’t be posted.

Got it.

I guess you could just do what most people do and ignore things they’re not interested in, but you do you I guess.

I’m out. Enjoy the anti-boring crusade should you continue it.

Mids and Defence is getting on in years in a time that the game goes quick in both defence and attack. Have been drafting for it but might show before they are ready.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Weight of expectation.

 

[Pistol Night]

Weight of expectation.

You guys are primed. Gun young midfield, emerging star KPF in Treacy. Love to see Longmuir jag one. Highly rated by our boys

Exciting stuff watching the Jeremias/Mr meow bitchfight unfolding.

Thank God for that.

Great leaving speech at least.

Apparently you’re not allowed to mention injuries. Try again.

Fair enough, I must've scrolled over that rule.

That the "Class of 2021" (i.e. Clarke, Brown, Gibcus, Banks, Sonsie) don't take that next step up in the absence of Bolton, DRioli, Martin, Grimes, Baker & Graham.

It would become a terrible waste of 5 subpick-30's and would set our rebuild back by at least 3 years.

Jeremias just squealed with delight.

[Giant YoYo]

Fourth quarter fade outs.

Oh, the stress.

 

[BigVic]

Window closing

 

[Outtatym]

Some how, going backwards

 

[rapidfire7]

Our ruck division. Has the potential to cost us a Premiership.

 

[ElectricG]

More of the same. Strong midfield but shaky down back and serious problems going forward.

 

[HairyO]

I think our biggest risk is ego and assuming we automatically get better.

Mitchell had the kids building and getting better week by week. That needs to continue.

 

[threesixpio]

Injuries. That’s it really

 

[_Mike_]

At present it's the midfield & stoppages. As good as Bont is, I think people underestimate the importance of Libba around the stoppages and center getting in & under.

Ed Richards is getting closer to that role, however when Libba is not playing its quite noticeable.

Injuries and a premiership hangover

 

[kreuze_missile]

Two injury-plagued seasons in a row.

So I guess.. injuries.

 

[cutterman]

That our draft haul becomes another 2004 and we get lost in mediocrity again (although we likely won't find that out in 2025)

That our players in that 30-70 game range don't take the next step (Dow, Mansell, Miller, Ralphsmith, Rioli, Ross, Sonsie) and we end up with a significant gap in age profile between our remaining premiership players and the kids

That we go winless, surely we'll sneak one in there...surely...please!

 

[WillHayward]

That opposition coaches and the footy media finally realise how shit our list and culture really is......

Can't believe it's taken this long...

 

[Roobs321]

zero development, going nowhere
