...those 2 game, and was the obvious candidate to make way for Sloane. Sloane is our Captain, and was our 2nd best player prior to injury (Tex was #1). His return, as soon as passed fit, was a no-brainer. Sloane's absence cost us wins over both Freo & Hawthorn, and he will be welcomed back...
...are the only criteria.
Don't darken my door with crap like Pendles or CP5.
Here are my five current favourites, in no particular order:
The Lizard (clear #1)
The Gelfling
The Big Texan
Sherry Darling
Bruce Almighty
Fire at will.
Extra points for entries that make a shitkicker sound awesome.
...meets the threshold of evidence required on the internet to decide whether to draft a player, therefore if we do not take him at the draft (even if we have pick 18 and he goes #1) I will be out the front of Cockburn burning Freo paraphernalia same day.
Peter Bell, the ball is in your court.
...a KPF. The dominant big forward this year is old Tex Walker. The same size as Treacy.
And who is saying Treacy is our "key" (in terms of #1) forward? He is our 2nd KPF, simple as that. Maybe he is our 3rd banana when Lobb returns. But he would still be a KPF. I think you are taking the...
Indeed.
We complain about all the players being crowded in one half of the field. (Complaint #1)
Then a player kicks the ball long to nobody (because nobody is there), it goes out, and they are penalised.
And then we complain about that. Complain, about a rule designed in part to address our...

He's the 2nd highest scorer across the last 6 years (Danger #1)
So yeah, I'll fight you.
...to replace Carlisle & Frawley. I think a wise strategy is replacing the cap spent on Carlisle, Frawley, Geary, Hanners, etc with Bing (priority #1) & looking for a ruckman in the 24-27 age bracket. Then continue to hit the draft. No need to make any drastic list changes, it’s all about making...
...they win, if any, but it's the exception rather than the rule, and in order to do so, they have to be the very very best (literally #1) at something, and basically be peerless in that area or aspect of the game... which brings me onto Dustin Martin's place in the game. The reality is, Dusty...
...in the country knows who this person is! Although he has already phoned me and has told me "he shocked to be sitting here" as the #3, (he wanted #1) it does go to prove it's all about James and always has been.
Beyond maybe some politicians and warmongers in history, can't think of a man who...
...locker to his brother and whilst before his time, a bit of an ode to fellow Territorian, Magic McLean and even Des Headland (before he shifted to #1), but given he was taken higher than Henry Smith, he would've had first dibs on any jumper number out of the draftees and obviously chose #34...
...because I don't want TT anyway. I want Hollands, and North are going to grab him at pick #3, if we don't take him with pick #2 (JUH being pick #1).
I would not entertain trading pick #1 for pick #4 in 2020 and any double-digit pick in 2021... and any list manager who accepted such a deal...
...much the only teams to do it are a 90s/early 2000s era Fremantle, and potentially 2018 Carlton (who were 1 sacked coach away from gifting us #1). Both of those are examples of extremely poorly run clubs.
Good clubs don't give away valuable picks like this unless the other team is willing to...
...read as he is pretty well connected on who the clubs are in to.
A few surprises, he has Logan Mc Donald (who many see as Jamarras main rival as #1) 'sliding' to Hawthorn at 5.
His top 6 doesn't contain a bolter, he orders them JUH, Thilthorpe, Holland's. DGB, McDonald, Phillips.
He has...
...for *
The poor kid was doomed from the very start being drafted by * (lots of talk back then with people on our board wanting him as we had #1), and the curse of the * never left him. Even in his final years at *, Dank and Hird couldn't fix him as brave as they tried.
On 66 to 6000 we...
Found our Motivation for next year.(I do agree with Storm being #1)

NRL premier Melbourne Storm has beaten out the likes of AFL powerhouse Richmond to be...
It's very simple... we take Hollands with our #2 pick in the 2020 draft (after the Bulldogs match our bid on JUH at #1), as he's the best player in the draft, and meets a clearly identified need in our team.
...out to pick 5 because we thought the odds of getting our player were 99% then that's one thing (let's say all our intel says Nicholas Cox isn't rated top 10 by most and we rate him #1), but trading out to 5 with a view of "oh we're happy with any of them" nah, that's just standing for nothing.
...3-peated
2. Lions 01-03: Equal flags, 3-peated
3. Tigers 17-20: Equal flags, 3 in 4 years - ongoing (if the Tigers win 2021 then they'd jump to #1)
4. Cats 07-11: Equal flags, 3 in 5 years
The Cats had the strongest record (wins, percentage etc.) over their era of dominance, but they weren't...
...ahead of highly
touted team mates Logan McDonald and Nathan O'Driscoll both locked in to the top 10 by most draft watchers(McDonald may be #1).
Josh suffered an ACL preseason thus removing him from mainstream draft calculations.
We need a developing hybrid forward ruck, who may also be able...
.../ SPS 5 & 6 in 2016
Now I know why Arr0w keeps advocating for Jackson Paine (rookie pick 2 in 2015...... Jessie Glass-McCasker was rookie pick #1)!
Fun fact: Sam Philp was drafted in the middle of the younger brothers of TDK & Paddy Dow. So expect another Blues Brother to join us in the...
...that into account.
Basically if we get Cripps it would be through a Brad Crouch style public negotiation (except unlike St Kilda we would be public enemy #1) - i.e. we aren't trading for him (or, in actuality can't) so it is compo or nothing. That said, I can't see us having the $ to offer...
Yes, but WB need about 2000 points to match a bid at #2 (if we kept #1) unless WB get more picks from elsewhere (which is quite possible, I guess).
REF
...(credit to whoever that was).
If Adelaide bids on the Western Bulldogs NGA kid, Ugle Hagan, at #1 (not unreasonably given Twomey has him rated #1), they do not have enough draft points this year to match that bid.
Currently they have #12 (1,268), #36 (502), 48 (302) = 2,082.
They would need...
#1 - Western Bulldogs - NGA matched bid
#2 - Adelaide (formerly #1)
#3 - Adelaide - Brad Crouch FA compensation pick
#4 - Sydney - NGA matched bid
#5 - NM (formerly #2)
Let not forget the potential Zac Williams, Joe Danniher, Jeremy Cameron FA compensation picks also + more NGA selections +...
You must be new to Aussie Rules. Clubs like Port, Crows, Pies (top of the list) are easily ahead of the Cats.
As for the Tiges, yeah we're top 2 (see above for #1).
If you said, bogan team vs sook team then you would have been on the money.
I'll see myself out.
Go Tiges.
You won't forget about it, but you won't need to remind me - because it won't happen (i.e. it won't ever be a factor in deciding which player to select at #1).
...he wants us to get a decent amount of freedoms back but one thing was for sure; you won't be playing golf next week. (Kinda the opposite to point #1)
> He says it will be decent but not what everyone wants.
At this rate, nothing will change except a 20km radius and really we'll still be no...
