@bdosi72 would definitely take your list overs ours at the moment. but your list should not be straight sets exit & 6-10 currently.
ask me again when we get the 4 nga & father sons next 2 drafts.
@stevo_23@Addyant23 true but it's the going rate to keep players unfortunately. surely concussion history was part of decision to move him back. like any other club, marshall would've gotten 5/6 years deals elsewhere.
@jacobpafc harsh. concussions have really hindered his career since 2023. can't underestimate impact it has on confidence. his 2022 was elite without dixon for most part. 2023 was year to build on that. needs to be tighter defensively, his kicking is elite.
@Sheeds1984 round 2 until dogs loss was far better than a lot of our supporters probably expected. round 1 & last 2 weeks are hopefully outliers. reckon butters was gone unless we were flag contenders (never gonna happen this season)
@Addyant23 wines doesn't get enough credit for taking seat back after brownlow to rozee, butters & jhf. took punishment in & under they weren't ready for so young.
drew just has to tag to be best 22. yesterday he went to cripps in 2nd half. well after damage was done.
@Addyant23@PaulZauch rozee's our best bet at improving ball movement down back. marshall not good enough defensively. richards should be in our mid rotation. moraes over wehr on wing. cochrane has to play rest of season. luko should be best forward 50 kick in league if he ever lives up to potential.
@Addyant23@PaulZauch 3-8 should be 5-6 ( hawks & crows). shockers vs roos & blues. we've found long termers in richards, berry, whitlock, mckinlay, lai + durdin. add cochrane if he gets a run at it without injury. mead, wehr, sinn, brodie, anasta, dbj, watkins + liddy need to be moved on.
@Addyant23@PaulZauch our list depth was bad even during 2020-2021 & 2023 finals years. can't afford to lose spp, rozee + bergman. rebuild will be kick started by cochrane, pilot, salopek + rodan next 2 drafts. issue is we'll likely lose butters + potentially mitch.
@JohnDavids46868@Thomo_Grant agree - port or lions should've won grand finals in 2020 & 2021 with the covid advantages. port's midfield in 2021 was wines, boak & drew. butters, rozee & gray were full-time forwards. dogs had bont, mccrae, libba, bailey smith, hunter, dunkley & treloar.
@PowerPigDT@Addyant23 our rebound from back 50 is so much better with marshall vs esava or bzt. he needs to be better defensively though.
our ground ball defence has been worst in comp for years. need jones, bergman + evans back.
@Aust2022@Addyant23 we've needed a lockdown back pocket for years. farrell & sinn are not up to those roles. jones & bergman better suited to 2nd & 3rd key talls.
