I see that we have 3 unused jumper numbers - 2, 24 and 46. Now, I get it for number 2 but WTF for 24 and 46? Is there a gun who is ready to come to us in the mid-season draft but only if he can keep his present number? So, probably not a number 46 but who of the current 17 number 24s is busting to ...

Before being suspended for September for knocking out Harris Andrews in the last round, while contesting a mark and making front on contact (it didn't cost Cripps a Brownlow)!

Or the Bombers!

I'm glad that you think they will play finals if the finish 6-8!
The only way that they could miss the finals if they finish 6-8 is if they are caught taking performance-enhancing drugs like tge Bombets.

Delistings: Adams, Campbell, Peris
Trades: Jones, Billings, McKenzie
All are too injury prone, but obviously have X-factor and hence at least some trade value.

“….Ultimately, we’d love the next coach, whenever that is, to come out of the group that is here.’’

Personally I hope it's Enright, because premiership teams are built on defence.
If RTB can t get it done by 2026 that is!

Yes it's a huge disaster, almost tragic actually. In fact it really makes what is happening in Ukraine, Syria and Turkiye pale into insignificance! Seriously, this was always going to be a game-olan development year. We are going to tread water mid ladder until 2025, when the youngs uns start to dev...

I signed the form but dropped an untouched ballot paper in the box. Again. Creature of habit. What form did you sign? I just got my name crossed off the list and then did likewise. That way I'm only disappointed that others think they have the illusion of choice. My illusions were shattered in 2021...

Since Keeler and Phillipou are the only ones wearing socks and sandals it looks like SA is still 50 years behind the times!

Well I would only have been RELATIVELY happy with Thomas replacing Richo!

Opportunity knocks for fringe forwards, but it's not like this is going to cost us a flag like 2010!

I conducted my own review based on our performances in the final 11 games. We should have beaten Brisbane at Marvel, Essendon at Marvel, Fremantle at Marvel, West Coast at Optus and Hawthorn at Marvel to finish 7th or 8th. We did beat West Coast and Hawrhorn, with a bonus win over Carlton when we ki...

Cameron got GWS into five finals series, three prelims and one GF, most if not all of which he had Lenny as an assistant!

King, Wanganeen-Milera, Higgins, Coffield and Clark are all recent first-round draft picks that we have picked up after realising that we weren't going to get deep into the finals by giving these picks away for guys like Hill, Hannebery, etc.

So the next coach according to SS could well be "other". I'm starting to warm to other, because if other bombs, you could always switch to an other other. Cameron for mine, given his ability to develop elite young talent and reach deep into finals over several finals campaigns in the past...

If not Cameron then who else could redevelop our list and game plan?

Lenny Hayes had a strong working relationship with two former AFL coaches, namely Ross Lyon and Leon Cameron. Both are very experienced and have taken theirr respective former teams to grand finals and multiple preliminary finals, which makes them both astute mentors. However, Cameron has the edge o...

David Noble, no seriously it has to be Adem Yze, since he is the next besr available coach.

So we ended the 2017 trade period with Richo saying that our improvement in 2018 was going to come from "organic growth" from within our list. We went from 11 wins and 11th to 4.5 wins and 16th! In 2022 we have picks 10, 28 and 32 and Zaine Cordy as a mid-twenties, 100 game, key defender. ...

Happy for Wood, because he has a big tank and uses the ball better than most players on our list. Tick. Peris has shown some promising glimpses for a rookie. Tick. Highmore is too good for the VFL, but his kicking is still shaky. Jury still out. Campbell showed in the final game that he can play sec...

Hawthorn must go into a hard lockdown immediately to stop the spread of racism (fear). Once a safe and effective (mis)education rollout is developed, Gil will spruik it ad nauseum and characterise anyone who disagrees with its bona fides as selfish and rascist if they don't join the bandwagon too (d...

Wise decision, because they're on the way up with plenty of cap space now that Rankine is gone.
He might even fill that role for them too!

Hard not to see that McCartin is way slimmer and taught up in Sydney. That maybe wotth a thought. Maybe not. I was at our game against the Swans last week and I watched Paddy closely in the first quarter as I was at the Lockett End. He clearly reads the ball well in the air and is suited to CHB. Ho...
