    Impressive win from Port. Do they ever play an away game this year or nah?

    I just look at it from the point of view that we'd have excellent ruck cover and tipping Tim's balance a bit towards a little more forward time would net us more goals, even if he was technically our first ruck.

    I'm also still worried we'll lose Tim to the WA sides at some point.

    Having said all of that, I think by the end of the year we'll be happy we've secured Lobb. I've never understood the negativity around making our list stronger for the right price, and he does that. We get caught up in thinking about whether we need this or that type of player, when the answer is we should just get the best players we can get to make us better across the board.

    That would tear them apart.

    Only saw bits and pieces last night but whenever I looked up it seemed like Butters was doing something exceptional.

    Butters was amazing. A game for the ages.

    Anyone got a spare kitchen sink to throw at him? OOC in 2024.

    He is from Bacchus Marsh and the Western Jets, so from our stomping ground.

    That year they traded out Wingard, Polac and Pittard which gave them those top end picks.

    Both Adelaide clubs have very good list management teams.

    From what i've seen they have also invested very heavily in the draft in the past 2 years so they have a bunch of youngsters coming through.

    If your interested have a listen to this interview a few weeks back https://omny.fm/shows/gettable/port-...y-chris-davies

    You and I both know Tim was never going to play more gametime forward. Lobb is a better forward than Grundy.

    It will be interesting to see what English does.

    Fremantle seem stocked for rucks with Darcy and Jackson. For him to go to Fremantle one would assume Darcy would have to come back to Victoria.

    West Coast seems an obvious fit; but does Tim want to go and play for a club that is rebuilding and still seem a good 3 years off challenging.

    Obviously not watching it but thought today I'm glad we're not playing North today for the pseudo 'new coach bounce'
