It's not all that surprising that we went for him in our attempt to trade in some quality, given that not many are queuing up to join us. What is surprising, however, is that Sydney with their professional approach to recruiting burnt a top 10 pick on him in the first place.

In his first few games he showed some real class and I thought we found a player. But this has been nowhere to be seen over the last few seasons. Not sure how to get him back to his best, but he definitely does have some talent

I don't watch too many other games but the two things that annoy me the most at our games are lack of holding the ball decisions to us when the ball is dropped or disposed of incorrectly with prior opportunity and rubbish holding decisions in our backline where the contact is too insignificant...

Personally I can't wait until we move him out of the backline. I don't think it's well suited to his game.

The depressing part was that we improved our overall effort, individually did a good job in the backline and generally worked our backsides off against an average side and still lost by 38. As Viney said during the Q&A, it's an elite competition where every single club is now professional...

Obviously it’s the pick 3 thing. We’ve drafted dozens of 18 year olds who were off the list within 5 years in the current shithouse period and just prior to it. Durdin and Nielsen come to mind, Perez and Mahoney and plenty of others. If Phillips was pick 17, let alone pick 54, nobody would even...

You’re forgetting that everyone kicks 120+ against us. Even teams that previously couldn’t crack 75 On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

This also gives us another couple of years of top draft picks just before Tasmania comes in. But it also means losing culture continues and we are potentially losing a generation of kids as supporters On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

We are that desperate that we could offer him a 2.5 year deal On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

I could just ignore you for being an idiot, but I will respond just once. Ziebell was arguably not in the best 22 last season. Cunnington hardly played after being dropped early in the year and Hall was also not in the best 22 by some margin, having played mostly in the VFL despite being available.

Just to clarify, hitout to advantage isn’t the only stat to look at with respect to Xerri’s influence or lack of. What about hitouts to advantage the opposing ruckman is getting? Vs the neutral ones where it’s in dispute but at least in the open as opposed to in congestion? Vs the ones Xerri...

No way. If you are trading pick 1 for picks there has to be at least one top 5 pick in there as a minimum. Pick 3 would be better. Would need to be something similar to what we were offering the Eagles last year On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

All this would achieve would be ruin a good player in Taylor who would be on anti depression medication in year two, while we’d continue to lose games. There is something very wrong with the club and bringing in 2-3 players (even gun players) wouldn’t even make a dent in this shitshow On...

Clarko has at least next season up his sleeve before I would even consider any change. But in saying that, it’s a complete mystery to me what’s going on with this team. We were more than competitive at stages last season and while we know the progress is not always linear, I certainly didn’t...

It’s not. Look at Fitzroy of the early 90s. The Mastermind has brought up the list of players who left - Pert, Lynch, Roos, Blakey, Gale, Armstrong etc. different generation On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

When was the last time you’ve seen a big player for player trade? Every club that wants him would just wait for his FA status or at best offer us a pick or two. We won’t get any solid player in return, let alone a leader or a KP On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

His kicking is weapon but would better forward if centre where the cost of a potential mistake isn’t as high. That pressure of making a costly mistake is what is hampering him. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

With our luck even if he turns out to be a very good player he’ll send some rude text to some ex girlfriend On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

I reckon we'd play Free before we'd even consder Goad at the moment. He is getting Jacob Edwards like number at the moment. Way too underdone

I wish King would have a role in our footy department. Has a lot to offer. I know he has a full on media career, but even a part time strategy role or something like that would be good IMO

Well, whatever level he was at during those "Auskick years", he ain't at that level anymore

I understand we are here to develop young players, especially in our position, but geez, there has to be a minimal non negotiables. He was incredibly poor on Sunday. Not sure whether we can actually improve him to the AFL standard or we are wasting our time, but he clearly should not play next...

Yes, because he is playing in a position he's not suited to. He should be delivering the ball into 50 and be part of the Northball, not trying to stop the onslaught. He's there for his kicking skills, but in his current position you have to be able to defend, which he simply can't do, especially...

As much as I see the point David King is making, I think we absolutely have to give FULL trust to Clarkson. If nothing else he brings stability, quality assistants and some level of respect the club badly needs. If you think this noise is loud imagine what it would be like if we had anyone else...
