Yet they continue to get games over others
Our depth is shit but Binns and Moir should be in that team imo
While I’m at it the recruitment of Haynes and Francis says it all regarding bland conservative recruiting
You get AFL experience but they simply don’t mean premierships
Your bottom six players win you a flag
Nathan Cooper should of played AFL
It should be easy tonight
Next weeks game will be a different story
With Docherty his selection last year in that final was embarrassing and disgraceful
I admire him like everyone else but others mentioned should have played over him
Docherty’s practice match form has been average
I’ll be watching these blokes in round 2
Haynes has been outstanding to watch during the preseason. You've obviously missed it.
Maybe there's a good reason for selecting Haynes for season 2025. I can think of plenty of good reasons for the choice. Think about it.
Have a look at our list. We have more under 23 players than any team in the top 12.
You didnt see what Doc does live. Completely different to what you see on the box.
He was bought back too quick last year. Sure, we all agree, but that was on the MC not Doc. That was last year.
You agreed with David King a few years back that we are killing Cripps, then he went on and won 2 Brownlows since that.
Things change after a good preseason.
Until the kids match or pass Doc, he's in. And no way is Binns going to improve us over Docherty, nor Moir, nor Lemmey, nor Carroll, who is imho is Docs closest challenger. Wilson had an interupted preseason. He's not ready to play AFL yet, but he's learning.
We are playing for a FLAG. This is not our development year. Injuries rocked us off our perch last year. That is obvious for all of us to acknowledge.
The window is open, and we have our first game tonight. I think that's exciting. One week at a time.
