"Caldwell, a tough and explosive clearance machine, Hately, a 190cm ball-winner with strong leadership traits, and O’Halloran, a strong-bodied and athletic onballer who made his AFL debut on Friday night, were all first-round draft picks for the Giants back in 2018. They’re also all uncontracted beyond this year.
Remember that question that might be playing on the minds of Worsfold and Rutten? Well, it might be asked again come this year’s Telstra AFL Trade Period."
Has to be a priority this year our midfield cant continue likes this imagine guys like Sheil,Merret,McGrath,Parish having a contested clearance mid feeding the ball to them.
They would love it
The problem with our gun midfielders is that they don’t really score themselves (other than Parish), nor are they damaging when played in other positions.
Shiel, Heppell and Merrett offer nothing when they’re not in the middle, Parish shows an occasional pulse up forward but more often than not utterly disappears when he’s not on ball, McGrath can go back but we don’t need him there. NONE of them can take an occasional pack mark.
Even if we get a big bodied midfielder in the trade period all we’ll be doing is squeezing those guys into positions where they do ■■■■ all.
Shiel has 2 goals for the year, Merrett 1 and McGrath 0!!!
Compare that to Port, St Kilda, the Dogs and Brisbane.

You don’t need to kick goals apparently
We are gonna out-Carlton Fark Carlton
All those teams play attacking footy. We are playing the Collingwood style footy from the Malthouse days
one of those guys was picked with proceeds from Shiel deal etc
What ever happened to Greg Williams?
are we ignoring Langford, or is he not counted as a mid anymore?
hopefully he isn’t because he makes a great forward flanker.
Jack Steele, backend a 5 year deal, trade Darcy back home to Geelong for a 1st rounder to keep the Saints happy.
Then we have our big mid fielder.
Win, win, win…and Darc gets to go home and even gets an opportunity to stake his claim in a midfield where the club values playing style differences as a strength, unlike the EFC, that appears to want midgets that all play a vanilla type of defensive game.
The players didn’t like his direct communication style, so they sacked him.
Apparently players still have access to him if they’d like individual coaching.
What does this mean? I’m genuinely asking.
He didn’t sugarcoat feedback to players.
That all the midfielders on our list are a bunch of ■■■■■■
We are a RABBLE
LOL that’s hilarious! No wonder we are going nowhere fast.
fck me dead if that’s true no wonder we are soft.
SPP shows more heart than any mid we have, and people wouldn’t take him here.
