Grant round one, Cameron round 2 from memory.
I still remember that first game with Grant, leading hard and taking a few chest marks. Struggled with his kicking depth.
Stanfield debuted that that...

Leon Cameron is being sounded out by his former club the Western Bulldogs.

SEN’s Sam Edmund has reported that the Bulldogs are considering bringing Cameron back to the Whitten Oval to link up with...

Can you imagine someone like Preuss wanting to line him up?

I've read a few articles about Barrass and he doesn't appear to be making any noise about leaving. In fact he's been mentioning some leadership ambitions at the club.
Have you located anything that...

He's picked up a lot of experience since he left us, Hawthorn assistant and GWS assistant and then GWS senior coach so from that perspective it's got the potential to add something.

Sam Edmund reporting that dogs have talked to Leon Cameron about being assistant coach at the club.

Thoughts?

Good suggestion. It will mostly likely be a while before he could genuinely compete a true KPP from the opposition. If we get Jones in he is less likely to have to be pitted against an opposition...

It certainly would provide some options particularly if there was an injury to English somewhere during the game.

Darcy will make it and his field kicking will improve. Like with most taller youngsters we are just going to have to be patient with him.

Wasn't Naughton an absolute gift for us? Drafted as a defender and adapted to a key forward role when we needed him to.

Darcy should be a success in whatever position he settles down in and while...

I think so. Lobb might allow a bit more flexibility as well.

I think it would be more likely 80/20 or 70/30 but it works. By being able to spell English a bit more it could help him right through the season.

I don't think I said we didn't try but we weren't really linked with anyone. What we do know is Bruce was going to miss a large slice of the season and didn't bring in anyone to address it. 12...

What probably complicated things for us last year during the trade period was having so many out of contract players we had to get deals for this year and trying not to tie up money until those deals...

There might be something to that but you would hope the recruiting team have the authority to stick largely to the best available theme but what the coach wants would come into play.

Sweet is a back-up to English but on occasions an option to play in tandem with English. He is a support player and Bevo will play him when needed. We still need to find another ruckman to replace...

Not quite true, some wanted it addressed during the trade period last year.

There is always a chance he has had a look at Crozier struggling to get senior games and thinks he doesn't want to go through that next year but I agree it would be hard to walk away from a job that...

From the HUN

Premiership heavyweights Melbourne and Geelong have emerged as potential new suitors for superstar Collingwood ruckman Brodie Grundy if he departs the Magpies.

In a surprise trade...

It's a hard question to answer. I'd like think he will be better next year than he has been this year but I doubt he can get back to his 2021 form. It's really hard to know if he has lost his...

What threw me was you previously said the best players would play when I asked how do we squeeze them all in and in the scenario above Lobb has been impressive when compared to our forwards except...

Sorry I thought the ? made it a question.
Let me rephrase it, Do you think Marra, Bruce and Zurhaar are better players in our team than Lobb?

Marra is a better player than Lobb and Bruce is as well?

All things being equal which 6 would you go with if Lobb and Zurhaar arrived?

Could we find room for him in a forward line that could have Naughton, Bruce, Lobb and Ugle-Hagan and then the likes of Bontempelli when he's not in the midfield, West, Naughton and Garcia?

Given the way we like to drop feed good information the fact that Smith made the announcement yesterday we could be holding back as well but it's a fair observation you raised.

Yes, it's roughly the same comment as the previous week. Still it's better than it heading in another direction.
I really wish we could get a clear indication one way or the other.

At a guess perhaps not.

Just reading on Twitter that Sam Edmund has apparently mentioned that things are looking positive with Dunkley staying at the Dogs.

Same here, Buku has made a bit of progress this year plus O'Brien might be a better defender if Jones comes back in good form.
You have to wonder how the back line might look if Keath comes back in...

It should but based on that we haven't looked like dropping him I'm not sure it matters.

Darcy's mobility could get exposed in the back line until he matures. His light frame might mean we really have to manage who he is pitted against.

Jones (if he comes to us) and Gardner should...

I really can't get a gauge on what we would need to give up for Lobb. He's had a very consistent year and ideally we would have grabbed him last year as a Bruce replacement. Coming to us next season...

Based on Kings comments above does the recruitment of Lobb pose some challenges given we already have Naughton, Bruce, Ugle-Hagan and potentially Darcy? I'm assuming that Schache will be let go.

That works out OK for us. It was Greene not their taller forwards that dominated last time we played them.

He gets a lot of the ball and frequently plays but the stats are misleading and I don't think he's a good leader.
I think they would be making a bad decision as they might get 2 years of decent...

He got off to a slow start with an injury early and didn't really have a pre-season like he needed.
I think it was a speculative move about giving us some depth than a best 22 week after week...

Doc, Khamis misses a week with concussion, Not sure if Duryea is right either.

Just 12 people bothered to vote so far.

Fair call, he deserves a clip :)
