Have we started the tanking process as it looks largely the same dispiriting team of last week?
I wonder, would everyone had done the deal for Hopper if they knew it was going to be a top 5 pick. Don’t get wrong, I like Hopper as a player, even though he’s injury prone, but top 5 draft picks can get you a generational player. Im slightly shattered at how its panned out

I reckon we'll finish about 9th or 10th. that pick will end up being after father/sons around 10-11 (hopper was pick 7)

MC are shitting me to tears, why play unfit cooked players. Give Jack and Cotch a rest. Mini doesn’t want the job.
Because we're still trying to win games and playing 5 gamers thats don't know their arse from their elbow doesn't help that.

Did you mean 19th or 20th?
We will be lucky to beat WC, we have packed it in.
This is going to get worse

Hell the vfl fixture is absolutely disgraceful no matches round 1 ,round 2,then next 8 weeks Richmond don't play 2 weeks so it's definitely having a effect with players not getting a match regularly especially the guy who's the sub.
The VFL schedule is a disgrace.
More byes then in a cricket match.
What's the problem? Seniors play, reserves need to play.
Another Yobo run sport.
Wouldn't know where their ass is let alone setting up a football competition.

Seasons just about cooked why would you not try get some game time into these “5 gamers”. Bad take.

No issue with the Hopper trade
Hes not the only one on our list that’s been injured this year

It's not a bad take because the team is literally still trying to make finals at this point. When the season really is actually cooked, then it will be a different story.

I smell something burning.
Can someone check the oven?

He was always going to take time. He had the knee last year which interrupted his preseason and then he got reamed in a tackle and injured his ankle. He was close to BOG in that game too.
He will be good next year

Anybody got a link to our named vfl side this weekend, finding it on our site can be like finding a needle in a haystack

No wonder our kids never progress. They play every full moon.
They increased the teams but for some dumb stupid incompetent reason they start after the AFL season and still have too many weeks of NO games.
Its not good enough.
If I was running the joint I would get them play another side that has the week off.
We need our kids to get runs on the board.
