    David King gives some good commentary around our direction: https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/no...86d74c314915d5

    He's on the money. There are no excuses. We have absolutely underachieved.

He was 10th in 2016 and 6th in 2015, and I guess you could argue he may have been traded since or during that time but he's always been picked when available and is filling a role we don't have depth within.

    I prefer these musings from the same poet, even though it makes no sense whatsoever:

    Walking like a man
    Hitting like a hammer
    She's a juvenile scam
    Never was a quitter
    Tasty like a raindrop
    She's got the look
    "Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"

    How does one become "Tasty like a Raindrop?".

    I feel id be a better person if I was.

    It gets better - verses 2 and 3 are pure unadulterated gibberish (but still lowkey pretty awesome to sing along to):

    Fire in the ice
    Naked to the t-bone
    Is a lover's disguise
    Banging on the head drum
    Shaking like a mad bull
    She's got the look

    Swaying to the band
    Moving like a hammer
    She's a miracle man
    Loving is the ocean
    Kissing is the wet sand
    She's got the look
    "Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"

    It feels like Swedish to English google translate was a little off.

    He was silly mentioning Darcy and JUH - talls take time.

    Agree that there's no excuses now, because structurally we should be sound which is great and means that we don't have to rely solely on the midfield to keep getting us over the line.

    Yeah that bit was silly when you consider he is tearing North a new one for giving-up on getting Cadman. He said it costs oversto get a good big into a Club. Therefore you are better off drafting and developing them.

    So where does Bruce fit into the 2023 side?

    I think he can play a few roles for us. We did the wrong thing this year by trying to rush him back.
    Play him forward if Marra and Darcy are struggling and we could use him in the back like if Keath isn't performing to the level we want.
    His timing was out when he returned but the positive is his mobility looked OK.
    An extra few months will help him a lot.
