Which clubs or players should be in panic stations right now?<\/p>\n

Kane Cornes and Sam Edmund went over a few different footy topics and came up with a panic ranking out of 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is off the back of Connor Rozee jetting off overseas 213 days after he did a hammy,\u201d Cornes aid on SEN Breakfast.<\/p>\n

Connor Rozee\u2019s hamstring<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cI\u2019m a 7 out of 10. It\u2019s clearly not healing properly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edmund: \u201cI\u2019m an 8 out of 10. It was in Round 2\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe it\u2019s just to dot a couple of i\u2019s and cross some t\u2019s. We don\u2019t know the exact motivations behind going.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the fact he is going months on is a concern, a big concern.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cAnother one of those long-term deals that is working out really well for the clubs that get sucked into doing those.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera\u2019s possible St Kilda exit\u2026 again<\/p>\n

Edmund: \u201cNas leaving is more than a 5, I\u2019ll say 6.5.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cI\u2019m a 6. I really hope he stays, I really do\u2026 but we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edmund: \u201cMore broadly with St Kilda, they haven\u2019t won a final since 2020, they loaded in last year\u2019s trade period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve signed Jake Stringer which you\u2019d acknowledge is a little bit of desperation. Nas is out? Ross (Lyon) is out?<\/p>\n

\u201cJust feels like all roads have just led to the 2027 season. It\u2019s a massive season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edmund: \u201c2.5. Miniscule.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cHow those players integrate back into the group and the effect that has.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 6.5. You\u2019ve seen what the replacements did in the finals. They\u2019re just going to welcome back these other guys?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s going to be some angst about them letting them down in the season. There\u2019s going to be headlines, there\u2019s going to be questions at media conferences, we\u2019re going to follow Isaac Heeney\u2019s girlfriend overseas.<\/p>\n

\u201cPanic stations more than a 2 for the locker room culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Impending Gold Coast exodus<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cMatt Rowell, Noah Anderson, and more broadly, players deserting that club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edmund: \u201cIt\u2019s come back upon them quickly, hasn\u2019t it? 6.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cI\u2019m about a 6.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cI\u2019m an 8.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edmund: \u201cWhat information have you received to have you up near a 10?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cNothing. Is he just a unique athlete whose body is not suited to the rigours of playing AFL football.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know I am seat 1A . He is the player I\u2019ve got my fingers crossed the most for. Is he Max King? Is he going to be able to compete with three opponents?<\/p>\n

\u201cCan he land on his legs and not do his knee? Is he going to get 250 games out of his body?<\/p>\n

Edmund: \u201cOr is he a player who has had a knee reco and he\u2019ll come back and be fine?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cCould be, but he\u2019s had a couple of serious knee injuries in back-to-back seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I think it\u2019s more than just that. The way he contorts his body, the way that he lands on one foot, the way his knee hyperextends.\u201d<\/p>\n

North Melbourne\u2019s lack of key defenders<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can\u2019t be any less, can it, than what it\u2019s been\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThey went so hard to get Jordon Butts, they did everything they could.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cI think their actions show you the panic stations level. They were going to give up so much for a player who couldn\u2019t get a game at Adelaide.<\/p>\n

\u201cExtraordinary stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeremy Cameron washed up?<\/p>\n

Edmund: \u201cI\u2019m going to put that at around a 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually think he\u2019ll come back pretty well. If it wasn\u2019t for that one arm would we be saying he was washed up?<\/p>\n

\u201cHe still managed a pretty good season under duress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cI\u2019m a 5. I think he\u2019s going to come back strongly.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I just had to ask the question. He\u2019s over 30, form declining, body issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s got two wins written all over it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edmund: \u201cYou just worry about the blowouts too. Two wins is two wins but then there\u2019s two wins when you have a percentage of 50.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll be so inexperienced. Talented but inexperienced.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew Nicks\u2019 position<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cNot as much as Nicks. He\u2019s got a fraction more time. 7.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornes: \u201cIt\u2019s an awful job to get. Some say it\u2019s a great job.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you win the premiership they\u2019ll say, \u2018Yeah, ok, well done\u2019. That is a high bar to walk into, thinking that is the expectation .<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if you don\u2019t achieve that it\u2019s going to look like a failure. Tough gig to get.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d rather take on North. North is the best job to get. Or Essendon. Start from the bottom and build yourself up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know hat this dislike? It\u2019s like when someone goes bankrupt in Monopoly and you inherit Mayfair and Park Lane. You\u2019re not going to say no, are you?<\/p>\n

\u201cBrisbane are Mayfair and Park Lane with hotels on them!\u201d<\/p>\n

Collingwood\u2019s dysfunctional football department<\/p>\n

Edmund: \u201cI don\u2019t have a great line of sight on this.\u201d<\/p>\n
