Edwards played as a forward last year.. and apart from your Dusty’s, Bont’s and Petracca’s, tell me which other midfielders kick 20+ goals per season

Yeah. And imagine if we have to re build with kids the next few Drafts and we didn’t have players like him and Hopper to take the load off them a bit ? How much harder would it be ?
Exactly. We'd be back to the dark days of 2010. At least there's a nucleus of very good players to lead us through a rebuild.
He'd be leading our BnF quite comfortably at the moment. Been a great pick-up. The problem has been most things around him have gone to the dogs.
Yeah. Maybe…shock …horror….the club actually got it right with TT and Hops whether we contended or not ?
Amazing isn’t it.
We definitely needed quality midfielders who could win clearance and we now have two. They're very good players. We've also now got a ten-year offensive and mobile ruckman in Ryan, Balta and Gibcus as keys for down back, Rioli, Short, Baker as solid citizens and Bolton thrown in as the X factor.
To help bridge the gap for the next two years while we trade, draft and free agency to properly rebuild the list, we desperately need the older guys to step up and play better. Fair enough, Jack and Cotch go this year, but many of the other experienced players aren't too old in age number, just playing well below the level. Get fit and play better. Set the platform to properly contend.
Has to be made captain next year. Grimes and Nank should never have been chosen. Thought it was a crap decision at the time, and it’s looking worse than ever 18months later
If we didn’t have them we’d be worse than North right now with the injuries. We need them beyond this year. It’s the gap RCD, Dow, Higgins, Naish, Coleman-Jones and Corey Ellis have left. Thats why we are still lacking midfield depth.
Wouldn't be helping that we have had so many players out and less consistency in those around Tarranto and Hopper.
They have been great and will only get better, only hope we can develop our young players and get back to being a competitive team over the next few years.

It may not take much - first key will be older senior players regaining form and/or fitness (from the 30-32 year olds) & Lynch staying fit at all costs. Plus we need 2-3 of the younger players to jump out like Ryan has. In addition to Gibcus, I suspect it may be a couple from left field - Campbell as one example.
This is an exceptional start. Could not have asked for anything more from him.

great game. waiting when Tim, Jacob, Dion are at their best, I'm hopeful it's soon.
The thing that stands out for me.
The way he starts a game he finishes the game.
He never stops running.
He is 1000 times better then Cerra, who wouldve cost us the same.
It's a pity the rest a over weight and badly unfit.

Lynch should’ve been captain after Cotch stepped down
Id prefer Baker or Shorty as captain in 2024
With hindsight, the signs were there early when he was leaving everyone else for dead in the preseason time trials.
If it’s true that he chose Richmond over Collingwood to try and chase a flag… you gotta feel sorry for the bloke.
collingwood is no certainty, coming from behind and winning by low points, will soon break them.
100% right, he shouldve been the one to return struggling.
The rest have let the club down. Apologies to Rioli Baker & Short.
The rest look unfit.
