Should be curtains for the season for mine. Yes he kicked a nice goal in the last, but gee he struggled mightily outside of that. Looks very slow in both body and mind unfortunately. Needs a big preseason.
Agree with this. Big effort to get to this point and all credit to him but I reckon he should be mothballed to get ready for a big 2021. He looks well off the pace to me and that will only be exacerbated in finals.

He seemed to be closer to goals in the last 1/4. Was that a positional change? It's instructive if it was.

Otherwise, if played further up the ground, it's not hard to imagine another slow but clever player taking his spot when he gets over his hammy.

Not surprisingly took a while to get up to the speed of the game. Did some nice things in the second half. Was great to see the celebration after the goal - you could see the relief on his face.

Needs time now in the gym and in the track - big year next year.

No surprise. As I said the other day I wouldn't be surprised if they asked us to borrow the yellow sash.

What a loser club they have become.

Exactly!
for us, we should not trade any young players this year.
Older players:- if Broady wants to go to and extend his contract for 3 years then it's ok with me. Houli may retired or go for another year.
The point is, hopeful this year we can win the ultimate prize and hava another go next year, to do that we need depth. After 2021, that there will be 2 to 3 senior players retiring and our young guns can then step in.

I would take a reasonable offer. But reasonable and Dodo-ro don't go together. Credit to the man. He's helped keep them *smile* for a long time now.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this was true - they were quite keen on him in his draft year but ended up trading out their first as part of the Shiel deal. I doubt that either Jack or Richmond would want to part ways at this point in time though.

Been to hell and back the poor lad. Knows there’s a spot waiting for him in the best 22 over the next few years
