      Hi risk with him , not sure the reward us really there. Maybe Melbourne are realizing it.
      Collingwokd had Cox , who was half blind until they sorted out his funky sun googles. Second ruck and chop out. Darcy Cameron has come on and become first ruck

      Gawn can ay forward all day and has great agility.

      Not sure if Grundy and perform that fwd marking resting ruck

        This. Let Tim go to WCE. Get pick 2, get Brodie cheaply.

          Anyone competent coach would back Sweet in as the replacement, he's offering much more around the grounds. Not clunking enough but his stoppage work is pretty strong now.

            Sweet will quit the club. 100%.

              If i'm in charge BT thats exactly what I'd do. Tim's the best follower in the game but we need a ruckman who will enhance Bont & libbas game. Like what we see with Petracca & Oliver getting silver spoon service.

                To enhance Libba’s game? He turns 32 next year.

                We need to forget about those older players and recruit for 2025 onwards.

                  And he will do well at another club. Had his apprenticeship. Enjoy watching his taps in the 2's the rest of his improvement will come the more he plays. And shows a bit of grunt as well which most of our players don't.

                    Agree. When they drop off at that age they drop off rather quickly. Not sure I'm looking forward to seeing Macrae over the coming years and he is contracted until 2027. I think the cliff has come early for him.

                      Unforgivable to sign any player, even the Bont or Naughts, for that length of time. I think he’s been a great player for us but that is truly dumb of the club.
                      Josie :)

                      Our day will come
                      And we'll have everything.
                      We'll share the joy
                      Just like '54 again.

                        Don't care about his age. He should be AA this year. You don't think adding a top shelf tap ruckman would help Libbas replacement as well?
                        Its about getting pieces in place to give the best player in the game a chance at getting another flag before his time is done. We need to give Bont a decent horse to ride to ride us to another flag. The last few years we've given him a pony & are expecting miracles.

                          For Bont and Libba to have any chance of a flag we need speed and skill. We could win a flag with a part time ruck but in the modern game speed/skill is a non-negotiable.

                            No offence HD but honestly get your head out of the clouds. We don't need speed, we need a committed squad who BUYS in! Every single team looks slow when they lose. You get a squad next year who are committed to each other, the coach & the game style & anything is possible.

                              IMHO we were pretty committed against both Collingwood and Port this year.

                              We threw our best punch and came up short. We are crying out for midfield talent.

                                Aren't you just proving my point? You can only point to 2 games out of 20 odd.
