I’d consider a move away from mid for Pendles if the replacement increased
centre clearances
It’s a bit what is more important—quality clearances to fwd line OR fwd line functioning better than it currently is
Other sides leach off Grundy so is it more grunt (Bruzz) or good decision delivery (Quaynor) Which if not advantaged by fwds then wasted move

If we can get close to a dozen senior games into a bunch of youngsters this year, then this season can be a productive one, regardless of wins/losses.
The players who should make way for our new brigade include Thomas, Mayne, Greenwood and Callum Brown (young but not good enough). To this list those on notice to lift their games or move aside should include Cox (needs greater consistency), Sier and WHE (very talented, but not committed enough). |
Couldn’t agree more with you. Hopefully tomorrow night against West Coast is the first step in resetting the team with the longer term view in mind. MaCrae and Keane are good selections. Sier has to show more commitment and Cox is too unreliable. We need to get Henry back into the equation and Poulter isn’t too far from selection. Whatever happens tomorrow night don’t panic. Stay the path and look forward to players like McMahon and McInnes getting a run by season’s end. |

I assume you’re saying that Phillips and Stevo were two of our best players? How many players in this best list of yours? On last years efforts neither would be in the top 10.

They were all in our best 22 last year. |

We have an aging list (in fact I think the oldest) so if not 2021 for reset most certainly 2022
So whenever they can and at every opportunity groom a kid. That’s reset as I see it

Your phrasing is correct.
I just thought it funny that, in another context, it means something very different. |

Ummm errr yes 🤪. Really see Sidey Pendles Roughie Levi Mayne Cox out of the equation in 3 to 4
By that stage Moore JDG Adams and a few be the 28 to 29 age group
Really must start thinking for future

Patton might be a cheap pick up next year when he decides he wants to come back, just needs some empathy training

I'd rather watch Israel Folau make a comeback with the pies than see Patton in the black n white

The more fundamental issues of the club goes beyond the playing list. We need to appoint a new president as soon as possible, overhaul the coaching personnel at seasons end and review the positions of our list management team who's recent work has been mediocre (i.e. Hine and Guy).

Does it really need to be asap? 
I can't see it doing harm if it takes some time. What would the president do in the next few months? |

He doesn't like defence, too much risk of getting stuck in the back pocket.
