Like Jones. Williams has been more of a HBF, which we obviously don't need. But as a winger, he'd be just as good. I'd personally rather B. Hill.
Are we still chasing 'the Hill', carlton09 ?
I think he plays anywhere through the flanks
Would be our best lockdown/attacking small defender, pacey/burst wingman with very good foot skills and has shown he is a dangerous small forward when used at the feet of KPF's
Really underrated

I said yolmen yesterday — look at his games this year before the shin splints — take the first game out where he played HF — they won 6/9 beat GWS Richmond Ran W/C to 8 point - he was averaging close to 30 with good tackle numbers and decent clearance rate — this guy under rated ? God size with not bad speed ..
EFA (unbelievably missed the n jar contribution from HaydossJ )Where's Papley ?
Cuningham Curnow Papley
McGovern Mckay Eddie
Martin on the wing.
Yep. I think sadly that like Cogs, Whitfield is a pipe dream and will - somehow on huge money and a mysteriously legal cap - stay at the Giants. But Williams - like Tomlinson - is the exact type they could lose and that GWS fans would hate to see go.

It's nice to get some welcome happy news after yesterday's awful tragedy about Danny Frawley.

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
There weren't many opportunities to see something.
Pickett has just turned 23, had more than his fair share of injuries and had played a total of 17 games in the AFL.
He had plenty to work with but seems the issue may have been more about him not wishing to work as hard as he should have.
Pickett was very fast...could tackle...could take a mark and wasn't a bad kick for goal.
Pickett may have ben his own worst enemy, but the skill-set was there.
I remember watching his 2017 preseason appearance vs Melbourne at Casey. Wasn't our best overall performance. Pickett only played about a quarter and a half. Back to back goals and was running circles against the man on him in the forward half. He was impressive that day.

Martin's manager phoned sos yesterday
In re to Papley:
It's happening.
Thanks for the information. Hope it is true. Always appreciate rumours from ITK posters even if they don't eventuate - lot of water to pass under the bridge before anything can be set in stone.
Just hope that Eddie doesn't get left behind in all of this. Still think he has at least one good year in him. He was my favourite player even before he played his first game for Carlton. Remember meeting him at a Carlton open day. Had my then 9 year old daughter with me. All the crowds were seeking out Fev and other favourites and Eddie was there with no crowds around him. He had that infectious smile and happy demeanor and took time to talk to my daughter and seemed genuinely interested in her. He instantly also became her favourite player and confirmed her as a Blue for life. Reconnecting Eddie and Carlton just makes so much sense.
Probably cannot fit Sauce as well but if the experts think that this year was an aberration and he genuinely can find the form he has had in the past he would be a great stopgap if Kreuzer cannot get on the park. Would have to mean the end of Phillips though (Sauce is only just over 3 years older than Phillips).
As long as these older players are not on top dollars (like the idea of low base salary with plenty of incentives so that if they have a great year then they can be well rewarded for it).
If we add these players to Martin, Papley, a B+ Mid (and there may also be the 'smokey' we don't see coming until the last minute) as well as some finds in the Draft we should be flying next year.
Interesting times ahead.
He was told he was playing back pocket and once he got the ball and ran forward, he would have no one in front of him to kick it to.

Yeeeees please, a bit out of our age range, but the type of midfielder we've been screaming out for, all class and kicks goals. Can rotate forward if need be too.

Bulldogs also have a bunch of young talent to be fair and a few father sons/NGA players on the horizon that could add to that. If they were offering close to 600k and we offered under or around $500k it's interesting he want to come to us.
I guess the big club/crowd factor could play a part and also better interviews possibly with coaches etc?
It is a non-issue though. Whilst we haven’t managed the big name free agent, being at the bottom of the ladder wouldn’t not have helped
We’ve brought in numerous best 22/top30 players via trades - plowman, Marchbank, setterfield, Newman, Kennedy, McGovern.
We’ve also brought in early additional picks that netted us that will - curnow, Cuningham, Obrien, mckay, stocker
IMO, the above list of ins is comparable with just about any other team in the comp - particularly once the costs of trades is taken into consideration. People wanting more are just being greedy/unrealistic with their expectations

You know how it works around here Matty..
Saad as Blue = silky running machine that will create scoring opportunities from defence.
Saad as a Don = flashy, unnacountable type with questionable delivery.
*time to stalk Tom Papley on social media*

I can't see Whitfield leaving. He loves it there and the club has done a lot for him during that turbulent period a while back.
let me know who he has followed. It will give us a clue to where he is going.
