Re: List Management thread (For 2022)
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.

I say so long Dunks and thanks for all the fish. Forever a BullGod.

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'"

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'"

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?
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

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.
