We are shithouse That’s why We have regressed Btw Was King injured at all this season? He missed one with a knee knock with no structural damage He did most of the pre season. There is no denying - he is devoid of confidence and has no idea how to play his position atm - although any forward would s...

I wouldn’t offer him anymore than 750 over 5 We have been stung by overpaying in the past, and being tied to big contracts can effect your future TPP I see Battle as a solid player, has not finished top 5 in a b&f (might this season) never been in the AA Squad and obviously is an undersized CHB ...

The fact is Firey, we are in a bad spot, not rebuilding and near the bottom. We have to go in that direction now, no doubt! Lyon was not brought in to rebuild, he was brought in to lift standards, enhance strategy and maximise the performance of this list. That won’t be the messaging now, to avoid l...

Firey,

Is there an element of truth to the fact that King has regressed under Lyon?

If there is, the negativity is warranted

Big test on our undersized backline

Joel Amarty 195

Definitely not just on Longmire, but he is a huge part of driving their success and culture They’ve recruited well, developed well, traded well and off field are rock solid! But no doubt they are coached well, Longmire has a better record and imo is a superior coach to Lyon Roos has been gone for mo...

Are u just naming gun ex AFL forwards??

None of those coach at all

Why not Reiwoldt then??? Get him back from Texas!

I jest of course, but I’d definitely look for a better forward line coach!

Secret sauce is pretty obvious

It’s tied to size of contract and length of contract

That’s a position- not a measure of performance

You can be great in any position

I see him as an Aaron Hamill type, was hoping for a Nat Fyfe type but he doesn’t look to have the running capability

Wayne Carey has never coached?

What makes you think he would be any good?!

Sounded then

And no I didn’t

Everyone is leaving StK are they

Let the big clubs feed off our carcass

He played ok in the same role in 2023

Only difference possibly is less ruck time

A third forward

Sydney got

Blakey (pick 10) matched bid
Heeney pick 18
Mills pick 3

That’s the only top 5 pick they had for over a decade

They developed those kids through their academy pathway

Rendell sounds stupid on Radio - not sure he is a mastermind

I think they’ll give us first round compo, to appease us and to try and improve us!

If we get pick 5 for a 25yo Battle

We should take it

Pick 12-18 is about his worth imo - and he is OOC and we need to rebuild

If you are saying Sydney only succeeded due to 3 academy picks (which they bid matched) you’d be mistaken Shrewd trading, good drafting, good development , well coached and very well run! Unlike us who got priority picks for being inept, mismanaged those picks So pretty much the opposite And they wo...

Yeah, I am mistaken

They have only had 1 selection inside the top 5 in the last Decade
Mills (3)

And only a few inside the top 10
Morris (6)
Blakey (10)

Battle is leaving, that is for sure.

Compo will either be pick 5 or pick 19

Longmire is a proven coach. Sydney have never bottomed out. I think they have only had 2 top 5 picks in the last decade!

Historically poor decisions- in hindsight Obviously in the post Jeans era, there were multiple changes and we struggled to get the right fit For a short time Mike Patterson and Jezza did alright, but were moved on! Jewell was a premiership coach who didn’t work, Gellie was out of his depth as a seni...

At his peak, Dusty was a clearance mid, who used his power and fend off to explode out stoppage Similar to what Harley Reid and JHF They are the most valuable players in footy Inside/outside power mids who push forward Bontempelli, DeGoey, Petracca, Fyfe They are not in and under mids, not defensive...

Thought Steele was in our best half a dozen players

Problem was that no other mid got a kick!
