Boak, Gray, Dixon, Ryder, Hartlett, Westhoff, Ebert, Rockliff, Broadbent, Jonas, Motlop - all 29+ from the start of next year.Imagine Port adding Rankine and Luko if they turn into what they should/could be, to Rozee, Durrsma etc.
That group coming through together..
Players don't just add value during their first year. A bunch have shown they're better than their draft pick. Some therefore have shown they were picked too early.
Luko has shown he's mostly like to be a Lynch type mobile flanker. A top three pick is a big overspend.
If we need to start paying way overs to get/retain talent then so be it. What we have done up to now obviously hasn't worked.
Sounds just like us except minus the young talent getting blooded in our caseBoak, Gray, Dixon, Ryder, Hartlett, Westhoff, Ebert, Rockliff, Broadbent, Jonas, Motlop - all 29+ from the start of next year.
They actually have a list that's REALLY aging. The quality of players not drafted last year is really low because they traded their draft picks so often.
From their team on the weekend. Only Westhoff and Boak 30+. 11 players under 23 and 3 under 20. Says it all really.Why do you think that?
Port have three good young players, but they also have way too much aging quality.

We'll wait until he's out of contract.We played 'overs' with pick 2 for weller, but he is averaging 24 elite disposals, fits into our age bracket, experience and wanted to come to us, honestly couldn't be happier with that trade..
It's gonna take more than carlton's pick and you won't have this leverage again in upcoming years, tex, jenkins and betts are all getting on

He is about the only mid the crows have in the team atm that has a bit of speed from the contest. It would be an odd one to let him go to draft another midfielder.....with that trait. But fair enough answer to the question

I'd trade Brad Crouch for pick 1
lol - start the car!!I'd trade Brad Crouch for pick 1
Port should make a serious play for our best kids playing in the SANFL to be honest, we dont really need them. When you have selection policies that allow potatoes like Douglas and Mackay to be selected ahead of you. It speaks volumes.
If Port actually got their crap together, they will win a flag before us.
Yeah the age profile tells a story.They will.
What did we have?Yeah the age profile tells a story.
Last Sat they had 11 x U25’s and just 2 over 30.
Bring the $1.2M "war chest" to the GC next week......
Its all good for you, and obviously others here asking the question, to pluck players names out that you’d like to get off of us but ultimately it comes down to the player..
7 x U25What did we have?
So of the over 30's..if we say Douglas gone at years end and betts not best 22 - a mentoring year in the SANFL maybe?. Jenkins 50/50 (and I am not sure who else was over 30 in saturday nights game?), it is 2 / 3 spots to be filled by younger players - however Walker, Sloane and Lynch will all be 30 next year. 3 younger players at the least are an absolute must to come in and after watching the geelong second half and the showdown second half, those changes need to be in the midfield and forward line. Hoping that Chayce Jones comes on well and grabs a starting berth and that Noah Anderson (I am keeping fingers crossed we get him) also comes straight in. Himmelberg should be transitioned in for Jenkins and somehow Fogarty needs to be into the team. Stengle for betts seems a no brainer. Also, take the captaincy away from Walker - who knows it might free him up a bit?7 x U25
4 x over 30
And to think 2 of the over 30s are Douglas and Mackay, * me drunk. It's unbelievable that our coaches think those 2 were imperative to our chances of winning.7 x U25
4 x over 30
What it says is that the majority of their side were kids and they smashed us.What does it say?
The three draftees are good. Most of the rest of their U/28 list is mediocre, exactly as I said. I'll give you Lycett and Clurey and MAYBE Wines.
There is a reason we were six and one before that game, and a reason we should have been three goals up at half time. We absolutely shat the bed after half time, but that doesn't suddenly make the team that was terrible against the Bulldogs and Freo a good side.
They also had 3 teenagers and we had none.Yeah the age profile tells a story.

Horrific really.And to think 2 of the over 30s are Douglas and Mackay, fu** me drunk. It's unbelievable that our coaches think those 2 were imperative to our chances of winning.
