Possibly as he played the season just gone, sitting on the interchange and playing his role in the midfield.
A possibile resurgence of Brodie......... I hope you are correct.... but.......

Interchange.
This isn't really the controversial one. The real spicy thread is the 'What position does Fyfe play in 2024' because for me it's sub at best, WAFL at worst.
That aside, I think JOM should be the last in the midfield rotation and mainly should be half forward/mid.
Serong, Johnson, Young, Brodie (IMO he should be in the 22), Erasmus in that order for me through the middle. Brayshaw wing + some starts as required. JOM named on a HF flank or bench.

Depends. Were there any cogent fixable reasons for why he was underwhelming this year, or is he just cooked and that's the best we're getting for three more years?

This is honestly such a lame, immature, and counterproductive comment to make right at the start of a new thread.
You forgot accurate too.

He needs to reinvent himself as a forward who can rotate into the midfield, he won't be getting much opportunity in midfield with Brayshaw, Serong, Johnson, Young, Fyfe, Jackson, Erasmus, Switta, and hopefully Brodie taking up most of the midfield time. He's too slow now to play as a full time mid.

It's not accurate to be disparaging. It is not difficult to say that he will struggle to make the team without taking pot shots at him. Jaeger has risen to be one of the best in the league and has been pulled back by injury. He deserves a bit more respect, same goes for Fyfe. There's a reason their leadership is highly valued.

I actually really like the idea of Fyfe as sub, at least initially. Ignore the notion of loss of face etc, and focus on a potential use of the sub as a weapon, serving the team best and his aim for getting a Premiership.
I don't believe he can run out a full season, may prove me wrong, but he's banged up and has a lot of miles on the clock. However, he is more than capable of putting a beast quarter together, or coming in at a time to settle the ship and playing a bit longer, especially if he's playing limited game time each week. We're versatile enough around the ground (JOM certainly a part of that) to shuffle pieces in the fwd and back line to slot him in for the majority of injuries and I don't care if you're prime Bont/Petracca, a rested Fyfe coming on for the sole aim of smashing the middle for one quarter or so is pretty daunting.
Same actually goes for Brodie, maybe treat them as one player who plays flat out and swaps out?
For god's sake mate, have a sense of humour! Mr serious pants

If Brodie builds his tank?
bench.
i even think we can coach around Brodie's one-way game if we fix his TOG%.

High half forward with stints in the midfield as a rotation seems to be the go.
In all honesty he doesn’t have the pace to be outside the contest, and isn’t good enough at winning clearances to command a starting onball role. I think similarly of Aish. If we had better depth neither would be best 22.

Strongly disagree re: Aish. Aish is top 15 in our side and offers massive versatility, so probably one of the first names down. No coincidence we lost the Richmond game where he was caught high and concussed. Was BOG at that point and we were set to run them over. Hugely underrated player. As for JOM, he's more than handy in the middle and a solid chop out at half-forward; great set shot as someone else pointed out.

I’m confident that JOM, a real pro, can find a way to contribute next year.
Body has let him down, so damn slow
Doesn't have the tickets in the bank that Fyfe does either

He is best 22. If they play him FWD I feel like he would be kicking a fair few goals.
If we are comfortable being a bottom 5 team again
Need to go past him if we look to rise

JOM wasn't really looking to come here, yet moved into our club with grace, good humour and hard work. A player t orespect.
Probably wishes, very deep down, that we (and he) could experience him prior to THAT injury...but as that's not possible, maybe he and Fyfey jobshare as half forwards-mids?
