Listening to ABC while cutting the grass. Cartwright says he loves the place and sounds like he’s going nowhere. Connor Watson is one of the team and sounds like he’s available. He’d look good on our bench if The Birds are correct about JH.
Connor Watson ? What ? Who ? What did I miss ?

Metcalf from the Warriors is a good player know he just came from the Sharks but he will not get a look in when their players are back from injury

Are the birds saying Hodgson is going to pull the homesick get out of jail (contract) free card after origin period?
The Birds don’t belong to me. But I heard the they told Hindy111 that Hodgson will not be playing first grade at the club in 2024. Make of that what you will, just show respect the the forums best football brain while you do it. His record is beyond reproach, better even than John Edward when it comes to predicting the future.

That's right. He'd be the same bloke whose signing you weren't impressed with a few years ago? Or a different bloke?
Yes, I didn’t want him I thought he didn’t suit the way we played footy. Full credit to him and Brad. A lot of that was who he hanging around with but it looks like he’s left all that behind and had become a model citizen.

Happy to be proven wrong 🥸

Gotta say that I don’t really rate him. Seemed to dominate junior football with his strength but looks too slow for a first grade centre and if Gus wants to flick him that isn’t a good sign.
Yeah, commentators always seem eager to fellate him at every opportunity but I haven’t seen much from him really. Is still very young though.

Yeah definitely hasn’t lived up to hype but you’re right he’s still young and inexperienced. I suppose too that he isn’t getting quality ball from the Doggies halves however when we see a bloke like Penisini go around every week the difference is night and day.

Why would he? If he doesnt get hurt, his next months pay will come from Parra. If he busts his ACL, his next months pay and ongoing treatment and rehab comes from Tigers.
Why is it any different to busting has ACL next week in a Parra jersey?

or calf.....

Maybe you can explain why the missed tackle count has dropped so suddenly.
I really don’t have to - it is not a key metric of his performance to be honest, because even if his missed tackle count has indeed dropped, he is still playing terrible and that is obvious to almost all and sundry… save those brave knights who are sworn to defend his selection until either Brad himself forsakes his cause or until a new plod messiah emerges.

seriously, there is no possible way that you can genuinely think his form warrants retention in first grade - it’s not genuinely possible unless you are trolling parra fans.

given your history, the latter is most likely.

Last week he was fine probably why BA kept him on for 54 minutes.

Last night he went back to trying too hard in attack.
