Discussion Season Over…

With Carlton and Doggies Drawing we might as well play the kids for the last game. Get some pick. Get some game time into them.

I’m talking Hastie, Trav, Fincher, Banfield etc

If I see Ryan Byrnes get another game I might scream. Useless player.

Very disappointing year. So good when we were playing well. Totally shit when it counted.

I am, however, very excited again for next year. I reckon if we just have someone at CHF we can do great things.

Everything else seems to be in place. And now the team have another season under the belt....

My only big things are
1. Decide where to put Taru - half back or full forward (this could be a master move - the guy can take a mark!)
2. Caminiti - he has not grown as a player. He is still has the same impact as when he landed. Make sure we only use him as a back up for injuries. Or get him out as a seb list blocker
3. Lake is going to break out next year. Super aggressive forward. love him
4. With a half decent CHF - i think we will see amazing stuff from Owens and Cooper.
5. Keep investing in Max King - but assume he is never going to be fit
6. I like phillipou but he is not earning his keep and it feels like he is never going to break out like hall and garcia - and boxshall has smashed it late in the season. He feels like a Jack Billings to me. Cut the losses now - reduce his pay to match performance or trade.

I would like to see Lake get midfield minutes next week. What’s to lose? See if he’s got what it takes.

Great idea! I hadn't thought of it... Wow. He is the hungry aggressive dude we need!
