Anyone have an idea who we would take with picks 4 & 5?

I wish I had more faith in our club, but after 1997 and 2009, with the sides we had then, we couldn't get it done...we seem so far away from that level of class. Good on you Jiggster, but my enthusiasm has been well and truly curbed. I look at our list, and I see, or imagine I see, young players loo...

While pick 5 is reasonable compensation, I'd still prefer to retain Battle. Hard as nails pro, who will be around for the next 5 - 6 years when we (hopefully) enter our window.

I'm assuming Hastie is also to be retained and pushing for first 23. I think this is where we are heading, and this year is a controlled tank.; losing by narrow margins is what the football department are wanting. Still think it's a mistake to let Battle go. Would prefer to retain him and try to get...

Yep, , absolute bulls***

They're not young, but they also aren't at full fitness yet.

Have a look at Sinclair just hitting his straps the last few games.

Takes 4 weeks of seniors to get decent match fitness back

Needs a few more weeks I reckon
Should really push for it by round 18 and hopefully play last few games with younger brigade.

Garcia and Hastie should get a few more games also

Didn't even rate a mention....Max got suspended for less than that.

Sharman needs to be played ahead of Jones.

And that's what makes us a great and powerful club,

Weird team this week, all over the place.

What's the story with Nas?

Bit of confusion there Wellard.

We just played Gold Coast, Ben kicked 2 goals

I'd be interested in the stat "hit outs to disadvantage " , because I reckon Roma would be right up the top of that list.
Seems to have an unhappy knack of punching or kicking to the opposition out of the ruck.
Yes, he makes up for it around the ground.

Him and Sicily will be a force down back

Are you assuming Battle is gone?

Are you assuming Battle is gone?

O.P. is correct. Membrey is a shadow of himself, concrete hands now. Ross, just honest toiler , now. Webster, father time has really caught up, still courageous and tough, but dexterity has dropped. Got destroyed by Breust, and now a B grader in Long. Paton, maybe, but Stocker or Hastie will take hi...

Staggering

Sick of losing
Hope we win every game we possibly can this year and let the trade-draft situation look after itself.

Tanking is kryptonite to a club culture

He is only 26 and almost never loses a contest, fit strong, courageous and a smart player....we should retain him if possible.
Only band 1 would be any kind of compensation for losing a player of his quality

5 Windhager
4 Wood
3 Higgins
2 Sinclair
1 Nas

Ross was on a wing - as you would put an inside mid with average disposal in that role!

It's insane.
Were we trying to lose?

The emerging players like Nas and Pou will be telling their managers to get me the f*** out of here.
Who could blame them?
Disaster of a season

This time last year we were on the top 4, with worse injuries. We looked fit, confident and aggressive.

What has happened?

We have actually traded and drafted well.
Chemistry and confidence is as low as I can remember.

Whose in charge of that?
