I’m hearing it will be 3 years to leverage Tassie entering to competition, which isn’t ideal.It won't be 2 years.
Tim’s disposal impact leaves a lot to be desired too. He’s a very neat player but you often see him hitting short 20m kicks. There’s not a lot of impact per possession and is more or less just another accumulator around the stoppage.There’s a lot of supporters off him after the weekend. I can handle a softer Tim in the ruck as long as he’s working back hard and intercept marking in D50. He didn’t on the weekend either.

His 363 metres gained means he's averaging more than any other ruck this season. I disagree.His disposal numbers sometimes really flatter him.
Hope you are right!I've heard conflicting information, either 4 or 7.

I'm very sceptical on the tassie timeline.Hope you are right!
With the Tassie sign on bonuses 3 years would be very dangerous.
Yep he’s not very damaging at all he may have 20 touches but he’s rarely done much with them. Plus he’s shat himself in front of goals now, he’s as unreliable as any of them up there these days when he used to be pretty reliable a couple of years agoTim’s disposal impact leaves a lot to be desired too.

I don't disagree in what you're suggesting that playing Bont and Libba on ball so much exhausts them.
But even with the value-add of a rested Bont/Libba, are you really suggesting that West, Weightman, Harmes, Sanders and Daniel up against Oliver and Petracca - their 'injected energy' - would have had better outcomes? The combination of previous form there (West), lack of ever having actually done it in the past/trained there (Weightman), or the realities of in-game management against what we had planned (Harmes' bad game/Sanders getting even more exhausted). Daniel we should have put in the middle more granted, but keep in mind that it was Gallagher that took the 3 at the start of the 4th quarter that he could have taken, which isn't the complaining about (or Daniel should have taken them when the game was done and dusted)?
I don't agree that my logic infers 100% time on ground/centre bounce attendances because there's obviously an exponential element to the amount above an "optimal" amount. In other words if 23 out of 30 or whatever centre bounce attendances is ideal for Bont, than the drop-off of quality between 23 and 25, on average across all 25, is less than the drop off of quality between 25 and 27, on average across all 27. And in turn between 27 and 29. If that makes sense. So (for the sake of argument) Gallagher's 3 centre bounces replacing Bont's 27 out of 30 suggests Gallagher would do a better job on average for 3 vs Bont 27, but not on average for 6 vs. Bont 24. If that also makes sense. Ideally if Sanders didn't blow up physically, he would have attended 12 or whatever replacing Bont and Libba 27 down to 24, but he did, so even an exhausted Bont and Libba 25, 26 and 27 is better than West 1, 2, 3. In my view, at least.
In other words I just can't accept that the overall result would have been better if halfway through the 2nd or 3rd quarter we just spun the magnets and said "West and Weightman, you're going in the middle". With them matching up against Petracca and Oliver (lol). As much as I agree we should look to diversify the midfield rotation heading forward, but that might simply be as easy as Sanders not blowing up physically next week.
Christian Salem and Kozi Pickett are far better midfielders than West, Weightman, Harmes, Sanders et al.So does this mean that Petracca and Oliver don’t have a break and rotate? So how can they do it and Bont and Libba can’t, or when they do have a break we don’t take advantage of it?
Do we really see English going to Tassie. He’ll get paid more than enough from a Melbourne club.Hope you are right!

Referring to Jamarra. As I understand it his management won’t entertain a deal with us longer than three years to leverage the Tassie situation.Do we really see English going to Tassie. He’ll get paid more than enough from a Melbourne club.
Salem who’s spent all of one single game in the midfield rotations? NahChristian Salem and Kozi Pickett are far better midfielders than West, Weightman, Harmes, Sanders et al.
Yes he was sent home early from the Qld pre season camp.Do you know why he is doing rehab away from the club?
I agree with your sentiments in regards to Baz and English. But I think Jamarra leaving would be heartbreaking for a lot of our supporters. For as long as I’ve been a supporter of the club I can’t think of an indigenous player we’ve produced that’s been a superstar. And also being a key forward and having the potential to be the best KPF in the game. Seeing him leave would be extremely upsetting.I think people get far too caught up in the potential loss of individuals. We got raided as badly as anyone by GC and GWS and still won a flag.
If we lose one or two, whether now or then, we’ll be ok. It’s when the whole playing list wants to leave that you have a problem.
Mate they won't stop, they'll just pivot to some crap about the big clubs/mega deals are already waiting for him at the end of this deal bla bla bla.And once again these media outlets have jumped the gun. Everywhere you look, a news outlet has breaking news regarding Jamarra. All falling over each other to get a slice of the pie.
He hasn’t signed yet. He’s expected too in the coming weeks but he hasn’t put pen to paper and there’s no specific details of the contract.
