wow wee I hope not a serious offence

can’t loxk em in the forward half with extreme pressure ……….oh Lordy VFL will have to make the difference in the backline

[Auntie.Gerald]

I can’t remember is a drug conviction 12 weeks or longer ?

[UUaswan]

seems about right..... 2 weeks AFLW, 12 weeks AFL

[stevoswan]

lol

what I meant was if you stripped the forward line like we have stripped our backline fans would be up in arms............No Curnow, No Papley, No McDonald, No Lloyd for 2027 would create a meltdown

Yes it would!

[stevoswan]

losing Blakey is still disappointing- money turns players’ heads unfortunately.

Money.....and running away from responsibility. Tosser.

It appears I’m on my own island re concern about losing 4 defenders

Rampe
Blakey
Cunningham
Mills for most of 2027 if not all

does everyone feel comfortable with our ressies and or Melican / Hambling to get us through to the GF?

most importantly be a defensive back 7 rotation that can dominate the top teams ?

who are your replacements that will ensure our back 7 rotation are as strong as when we had these 4 starting in our side ?

for me I just can’t imagine that is possible yet here we are heading into 2027 with arguably the weakest backline in the top4 teams - that’s a tough finals series if we make it while in a window

Rampe - ?
Blakey - ?
Cunningham - Lloyd maybe ?
Mills?

I am certainly concerned yes, I was sure we'd go for a defender in the trade period but there really wasn't anyone worth pursuing, according to the club anyway.

Hopefully some of the young guys can step up.

Sydney have a knack for not missing players that leave, mainly because we play them out of position.

Dawson, made 2 GFs since he wasnt a loss but... we didnt play him as the game changing mid he is

Ollie, in and out of the side, 2nd Carlton B&F as a regular

Hayward, we played him as an undersized fwd, would be a 50goal fwd as the 4th tall

Parker, not played and played fwd... found a role at North

You should apply to be coach at the Swans.

Just an observation

Yeah, we do so much wrong for a team that has made two GF's and a Prelim. in the last five years.
