Would be the biggest off season ever. I don't know how gettable they all are considering they all have contracts for 2023.

Enjoyed the the Pod,
Regarding this Round 1 Discussion. we sound a little silly having players like Klemmer, Brown discussed when their still on the Wishlist
Whoever is picked I hope the spine players have plenty of time together on the field, chopping & changing won’t help any chances of success.
And if you really want to give yourselves a challenge, try & pick a 17 for rd 1 2024. Good luck.
I'm really surprised to see how many people have put Blore ahead of Pole. Take out the game against Parramatta and Blore has never really done anything. Even when fit I thought he was good defensively but didn't add much attacking wise, whereas Pole was consistently very strong from his first game both in attack and defensively. I'd be having Pole in my side every day of the week over Blore.
@avocadoontoast I told you that you were wrong lol

@garry he's been out for so long people are remembering him being better than he actually is. Not to say he won't end up being a good player, but he's shown not much so far.
@avocadoontoast defensive rock that we desperately need on an edge, I'll concede he hasn't done a lot with the ball yet but not using our 2nd rowers as attacking weapons was a hallmark of the Madge years. It wasn't until early this year luch got some decent ball but even then we weren't using them in the redzone.
