Re: Mid Season Draft
Wouldn't have put JVE on the long term injury list if we weren't considering taking someone.

Re: Team Saints V Melbourne
Uninspiring Underwhelming Ryan Byrnes 2 weeks ago worst on ground vs Box Hill Last week just OK vs a woeful Richmond VFL Agree with your first two points but you're missing a key point on Byrnes, the VFL game is on the same day. Byrnes won't play at either level. Extended bench selected to allow pl...

Re: Team Saints V Melbourne
Bit underwhelming.
I feel like we need a selection reset. Forget about ins and outs and pick a side from scratch.

Re: Sack Lyon
My read of the last few years of our club coaching 'big picture' is: 2022 - Ratten's last ditch effort with new assistants. Finish 6th-10th. 2023 - Ross's "year of exploration": Play the brand of footy that best suits the current list. Add elite standards for training, on field, and off fi...

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
I don't think Collingwood have a better list. They have a few gun players and the rest of the list average or below ours. How many of their players would get a game in our 22? The "few gun players" is a massive difference though. You only need 2 or 3, but they need to be league leaders in ...

Re: Ye old Cordy
Turnovers (per game average) worst to best. Only showing 20. Neither Cordy nor Howard on the list.

We are better off not taking any emergencies into the game then. If we're one short so be it.

Re: Ye old Cordy
This year, Howard has not been beaten in a 1v1 defensive contest. Cordy has a 20% loss rate, which is good but not 'premiership full back' good. Interestingly Howard has not had a handball this year. Turnovers in favour of Cordy, disposal efficiency in favour of Howard. https://i.imgur.com/mkFhIBD.p...

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
You can't throw 23 players under 50 games at the same time in the AFL. They will flounder, fail to develop, and you will need another rebuild. What you need is a group of senior players who are good enough at the game, but more importantly can mentor the young players on the field. "Those who c...

Re: Liam Henry
NWM is at half back.
Henry will be an outside mid who sometimes plays on the wing.

Re: Changes for Dees game
With our injury list at a minimum we need to be rotating the kids through.
Keeler, Hotton, Allison, McLennan, Heath - should each get a block of 3 games over the next 10.
Collard and Hastie 2 games over the next 10
Pou a block in the VFL, potentially Wilson pending form.

Re: Pick 3 in the draft
Not a bad outcome.
If we're not fighting for premierships we should be fighting for draft picks.

Re: Bonner to Hill, Freo goal
Can't build a premiership side around a 30+ year old.
Hill's benefit is his mentorship and on field coaching.

Hope is not a strategy. We need change in action to turn this bus around.

Re: Ye old Cordy
Adds an offensive side to his game when Howard is there and he can trust him to defend. When Cordy is FB then he needs to play more defensively.
Might just be chemistry but the difference at the start of this year was very visible.

Re: Ye old Cordy
Feels like I'm a broken record but Wilkie plays AA standard with Howard in the team, and a fringe player with Cordy.
