We need to trade some good players to get draft picks.

I would trade Battle we have other players who can play his role in Cordy and a few young guys like Adams who is doing well at sandy and is 198cm,and Sharman who I rate more as a forward but can go back. Battle really struggles against the bigger taller players if gets isolated and does not have the...

Re: In for next week against Rooboys - Four at least

From what I could ascertain yesterday, Wilkie had King (conceding 14cms and 10kgs, King with 12 disposals and 3 marks), Howard had Casbault (size match up and Casbault kept to 3 disposals and 0 marks) and Battle had Lukosius (size match up and Lukosius with 4 goals from 10 disposals and 6 marks) So...

Re: In for next week against Rooboys - Four at least

I am not sure about Heath at this stage, but I would definitely play Highmore ahead of Howard. Bytel ahead of a clearly injured duo of Jones and Wood. And Campbell/Hayes on the bench. Take your pick. Yes I would also play Higgins ahead of Peris. Clark is already in the side. Does any one watch High...

Re: In for next week against Rooboys - Four at least

Don't see Bytel solving the issues we have, he has the same problem- ball use and speed. Higgins, Hayes and Heath all coming into the side allows Owens to spend more time on the ball meaning all of the below offer more to our onball options than Bytel. Steele Crouch Clark Jones Owens Windhager Sinc...

Re: Max Heath

Given availability, Battle, Hill, Higgins and Clark are certainties So what does that do to structure given King and Cordy out? From watching a bit of the VFL game today, other than Clark no one did enough to demand selection Some tried hard but that was it And it is acknowledged that apart from Ca...

If Hardwick comes in there goes any chance of getting Bing I thought we might actually get him after he was benched.

Re: What changes would you make for next week?

I would finally bring in Campbell as a forward ruck a bit like what cordy did expect he is a big unit and would be more imposing. Not really sure we need another young guy like Heath in yet he is playing well at Sandy but I really think he would struggle at this point. Clark should come in and I wou...

Re: What changes would you make for next week?

King, Ross and Cordy are forced outs. A few have suggested Pou is due a rest. Byrnes was the sub but pbly played himself into contention rather than out of… Caminati and Sharman are pbly the other 2 that get some scrutiny from the fans here but arguably did well enough. By all accounts Battle, Clar...

Do you know why we are 16th because we have for most of the season only had 4-6 AFL listed players and some of those were Kids with all the injury's Now that we have more players back watch how our kids in the 2s will improve with the better players around them.

Re: Dropping "star" players.

Selection integrity has gone out the window the only way players get a game is if there is a injury. Dougal should stay in the team he does really well considering he is covering for Battle most of the time. Battle does some good things but when he makes a mistake and they are often he gives up a go...

Re: Dougal Howard ranked #1

Its very difficult with Dougal as Battle is a liability with his lack of speed, the really bad mistakes in giving away frees cost us goals and really poor decision making plus he is always at least 3-5 cm smaller then his opposition player (not his fault but other players of his height do well not h...

Is it time to play Cordy in his rightful position as a KPD with Dougal poor Dougal has been left to take a lot of the defensive work as Battle is struggling when the he has to chase or jump he is very restrictive. At least cordy has played over 100 as a KPD and working with Dougal it would be a grea...

Re: Let’s be positive!

What big name recruit are out of contract for 24 that we can target we have to get another quality mid if not 2 and a KPF and a ready made Ruck to help Row.
I would also get a young Ruckman to come up through the system with Heath there are plenty around in draft and other leagues.
