Bit of a fun account, like being a dons nuff, over analysing stuff. Probably a bit of cricket too, who knows. The worlds my oyster (it’s not)
He literally had to emphasise “physically” and didn’t click hahah

I would love to explore Redman up the ground. Those mercurial players like Day and Young started as half backs. I think he’d be good on the wing too. We’ve also got a player similar to him coming through the ranks 👀

I hove the idea of Johnson on the half back or the wing!

Quite liked you on this Rohan, you day say you cop it for being negative but I can honestly tell the change in your tone, genuinely feel like we’re going in the right direction. But just have that natural pessimism like a normal dons supporter 😂

Yeah this was basically my point, said better! it’s more about the wing position than the forward position
February 23, 2025 at 11:47 PM
I do want make it clear that it’s not that I want him out of the fwd line, I’ve loved him up there, just if we needed to move pieces and he went up the ground, I wanted be unhappy about it either. Probably stems from having more concerns around the other wing than our fwd line atm

Which should lead to more inside 50s, plus he has good defensive awareness and can drift back and help save goals. My view is that he can still have significant impact up the ground. 43 goals down to 20, but then makes that up through assists and involvements, then goals saved from Defense.
February 21, 2025 at 4:09 AM
Hence why it’s is controversial, and even I understand it seems stupid. But I firmly believe he would still kick a few goals, maybe 20+. Then on top of that he’d have a lot more direct goal assists because he delivers inside 50 so well. His marking ability allows for that outlet kick on the wing

We didn’t have Wright for most of last year, and Stringer is replaced by Perkins
February 21, 2025 at 3:57 AM
Always was a ridiculous argument. Think Hawthorn replaced 60 goals pretty easily in 2014… not like it’s a team sport, focussed on team performance

To your point, and Caldwells, we might achieve that 1 less by not having Jake.
We might achieve that one more by better ball movement that creates better entry that then creates better opportunity.

I much prefer the baseline you’ve presented, shows that, surprisingly to some, it’s a team game (!!)

My thinking was more based off us not getting a free agent in. I agree that we can’t have them both, neither are rucks that can go Forward. I know we are trying with Draper, but it feels a waste. It feels we’d prefer a Gerreyn type, and they are developing Visentini as that
January 14, 2025 at 10:21 AM
This is a take that I think a few have, but if Draper goes I’m not too concerned. I like him and I’m happy for him to stay, but Crows probably throw more money than he’s worth at him and net us a good pick. Hopefully Bryan comes on, and we have developing rucks in Visentini and Gerreyn

LDU would be nice and everyone would want him, but North right now are VERY confident he’s staying (things can change)
January 14, 2025 at 4:07 AM
I feel attacked, I did this yesterday haha but I did it because it’s a small car park, I was turning left and the park was on the left, so the only way to get a good angle was reverse
January 13, 2025 at 1:33 AM
On this, considering his size and leg strength now, I’d love to see him become that big bodied mid we’ve been after. A real extractor from the source, as he does have great hands. And could use his explosiveness to breakaway at times. Would mean less kicking, but still need to be decent
January 10, 2025 at 1:54 AM
What are you talking about Ro?
December 27, 2024 at 9:50 AM
He presented himself well enough I thought, but I do agree. I’m more concerned by how much he led by. Footy fans clearly don’t know the role of a board, and annoyingly get so obsessed with having a “footy person” on the board
