Rd 6 vs Hawthorn @ Launceston - Match Thread

[Roadrunner]

You may well be right I just pondered if we would keep all of them on the books next year and where they sat currently.
I think Dane is a given to be here he is still under contract and probably not likely to field many offers from elsewhere.
Jake is already talking about finishing his career at Sydney so is obviously keen to stay which may mean he will take a bit less money to do so which may allow us to maybe keep all three.
I still think someone from that trio will not be playing in red and white next year but I say that without evidence it’s just supposition on my behalf.

Surely they will all stay. Their experience is needed to help our youngsters and they love the club. Unlikely that they would get significantly better coin elsewhere, so they may take a small haircut, apart from Dane, who I think is contracted.

I only just remembered, that I was going back to this when the paywall went down. Thanks for posting it, it's always an interesting read. They do seem bullish on our chances and I actually quite liked the praise for the umpires.

So pleased that there doesn't seem to be any official concern for Paddy, but hoping we (and he) don't have to suffer repeated replays of his desolation/frustration when told he couldn't come back on (while absolutely supporting the medical team's decisions to do so).

Delighted to see Horse come out strongly on the very personal footage of PMc that has been replayed relentlessly. This is exactly as I felt while watching this.

Might be the last thing he wants to do, but Longmire would be an outstanding AFL commissioner when his time with coaching is done - few people speak with such authority on player welfare, the needs of the northern states and general good sense about the game.

I agree it felt wrong to be showing such emotive footage of Paddy in that way. Good on Horse for calling it out.

Florent was ok. Did some 1%ers and no way he will be dropped or rested. He is part of the team setup. By the way, nice positioning by him for his goal.

I had Florent as one of our best in Q1. Every touch was AOK.
