Ison is half a foot taller than byrne. Hardly like for like.

Not sure Frankie goes around at his listed 6'0" either, but thats for another day
I'd bring in Ison for Kemp and think about Moir too...both have more talent than most on the list and both can kick straight.
Lord, Acres and Hewitt also as ins..

Given that Harry is out, it might be a good time to bring Ison in. Not as a direct replacement, but it'd allow others to shift one up. So Kemp could be Harry and Ison could be Kemp.

Same logic could be used on Moir who we'd likely get more of a return from.

We need to keep checking in with Moir often to see if he 'gets it' yet, because the moment he does, he'll turn games.
I'd be going hard on him in the off-season getting his running up a notch. I'd like to see him get to a stage where he could give a chop out in the middle/on a wing and rest forward. We could use his skills further up the ground.

Thats a lot of changes EB, cant see that many being made. Fark it I'd do it thought, nothing to lose.
I'm going youth GTC and trying to get games in to talented players but you also need some mature support. Eg Acres isn't the future, has slowed up but is still a smart player and more capable vs better players.
Ison and Moir have talent and I'd be changing the forward line up to more of a medium and small ball lineup.
Keeping Byrne in the team too he has talent and rather go down by ten goals developing players than by five trotting out the same tried and failed every week.

Bit over Kemp and to a lesser extent Harry.
I want to try something different , thought Hayward played his best game vs the Pies and worked hard and I'd be wanting same from Moir with Ison my more stay at home forward.

Harry was playing his best game for some time IMO......but its also a pretty low bar.

Harry gets way too many concussons for a bloke 200+.

I can't see him playing out his contract with us. Still has 4.5years left.

Trade him to Tassie

Agree, he is draft capital and we need to rebuild. His performances are inconsistent and as you say  his concussions make his future uncertain..

I want to back Byrne, especially if his goal miss hurt him as much as is claimed, show him that we believe in him.
Let’s go BIG !

Agree on Byrne. It was good to see our guys getting around him…….as well as Pendlebury.
Reality always wins in the end.

Already we've lost Pittonet to hand surgery and Elijah Hollands. We've lost H to concussion.
We've also lost the Camporeale twins, so they're not going to go to Perth.

It looks like Reidy is going to be our ruck. He is going to want to show something against his old mob, but he is up against a good, jumping ruck. That does not bode well.
Derksen looks like he may well be our CHF, although he could be required to match Freo's 3 tall forwards.

This is looking particularly ugly.
Live Long and Prosper!

This might be the thumping we have been fearing…

Reidy's probably a definite in with Pittonet out.
It's his old club.
He would have rucked against Jackson so it won't be a surprise for him.
That could be a good or bad thing.

I like the idea of Derksen in the forward line.
Just by the nature of his acquisition he'll probably be on shaky ground at the end of the year so he'll be looking to show his versatility.

If it were me, I'd try Hayward on the ball to add some smarts and speed.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Got nothing to lose trying Derksen or anyone else imo, Freo have a good settled backline with designated defender only types and designated intercept/rebounders and we need to unsettle that and maybe even go a bit defensive on those rebounders like Ryan and Clark in particular.
I think most of the list will be on shaky ground if its a new Coach and List Management team and a rebuild theme with youth for example.

Not unless we can get another key forward. Just lost our last one.

Brisbane won a flag with Morris and Gallop, Id be going two younger KP Forwards with height and must have kicking ability, Harry just misses too many goals and we cant afford that with our lack of system and efficiency imho.

This one is worth more to us in draft capital than on the field.
