Honey dripper. Not sure if I should be hungry, offended or tantalised. Not misunderstanding. I get it. We are all looking for answers to a challenging puzzle yet none of us have the insight or resources that a recruiting team has. No issue.
Not alone on that front though. How many opportunities do we squander a game?
Hickmott seems to be doing a bit out west too. Road to the draft talked him up a bit on the weekend. Looking forward to seeing how he goes at the champs and won't cost much.

Especially given his output past year and improved goal kicking. Watch how many he competes with in packs. Smalls at his feet should have a field day. SPS? Garlett? Wright?
Don't care about the narrative, only whether he can play or not and he seems to struggle to be consistent. Will watch this space with interest but not too excited about Guthrie talk.
I don't rate either. Take 'em both please. And If Barretts on the money ... If Cam leaves then Zac does too.
OK but I will never question a player getting paid. They aren't in the game for long and I believe they should get what they can while they are able. Market forces at play. He got paid when he was a premiership midfielder, as he should, and he took a cut when he wasn't there anymore. No issue. Prolonged his pay day and still contributing nicely though I wish he would spoil more often if he is going to man up down back. He is the one dealing with the panel beaten body for the rest of his life, if he gets paid, good luck to him. We are the suckers for allowing Malthouse to further mortgage our future.
Only if they are super cheap. And they show up on time for the interview. And wash my car twice a week.
Haven't heard him being talked up at all during draft conversations and in the media. Not holding my breath either.
Agreed whole heartedly. Speedy pressure blokes who run both ways and finish. I hope WC win the flag this year so a bloke like Gaff scratches that itch and comes back to Vic looking to lead a mid field. Otherwise grow our own kids. Think outside the box and focus energy on preseason athletic development minus the * supplements.
Is he struggling
Love everything you said with the exception that I don't believe the players you mention in the list would be rated as A graders by many clubs, even allowing for future growth. Questions about all except Cripps, Curnows and Doc. That makes 4. Love Murphy but I wouldn't put him there either.
Just not being seen or discussed. Jack wasn't either in his draft year though.
and sure to have dodgy shoulders....
I think Marchbank is a lock pending health. The rest have questions though Dow looks the goods.
No different to the club in general. Impossible to pick one week to next what you are going to get from Geelong. I seem to remember Guthrie always operating at high intensity and has incredible dash and line breaking ability as well as a big body to hit in. Always liked his game and saw him becoming A grade. His injury this year means it could (and looks like it has) create a disparity between what he perceives his value vs the club. I just think one player like that is our missing link.
