Awesome, just what I needed. Now I’m going to sit by the pool tomorrow ignoring my old man at his birthday BBQ and listening to the pod.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Here is the age demographics by positions I referred to during the podcast.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Go forward 3 years,
- Retirements - Hutchings (32), and Shuey and Redden both (33)
- Delistings - Ainsworth (disposal not up to AFL standard) and Brayshaw (injury prone and pace issues)

The cupboard looks very bare!


If we had been successful luring 2 mids from the expansion clubs (Coniglio, O'Meara, Swallow, Martin, etc), then our midfield demographics would look very different.

Over the past 3 drafts, we have been very successful at drafting quality talls. We can relax that need and

The priority in the next 3 years has to be on midfielder. I would be looking for the best midfielders at our picks and not take the best available. If we don't think our picks are in the right place for mids, then move the picks.

We also need to snag a couple of WA free agent midfielder. Hello Patrick Cripps. If we are able to put a sustained run of success together, we may be able to attract non-WA FA's. It is Christmas and I am allowed to dream

Another couple of snap shots:

This is our line up of 23 to 27 year olds in 2020.


This is our line up of 22 and under in 2020.

Summary of list changes (for those who are more visual)

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Pickett's not on the list yet is he? And we might pick that SA guy instead?

The spine of that under 22 team makes me feel funny, like when I used to climb the rope in gym class.

Great work guys. I particularly liked the insight you gave from contacts in the recruiting teams of other clubs regarding O’Neill - reassuring to hear they didn’t have any major query on him.

 

[bombard]

Top quality pod. Thanks gents.

Don't disagree with any of this, however I would say the club may believe guys like Duggan, Venables, Foley and even Petch could still make the move to the midfield. Was just over two years ago most thought Yeo wouldn't make it as midfielder, so it isn't outside the realms that any of these guys could help fill that gap.

Enjoyed listening to the last two pods btw lads.

 

[Monocle]

 

[Evo47]

Nice work lads, thoroughly enjoyed that

 

[Suma Magic]

Great listen.

I was on the fence with the draft until we got O’Neill. Then I was over the bloody moon.

A funny draft. Nice to be feeling positive after a draft, as it doesn’t happen every year.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Loads of credit to AsterixTheGaul for constructing the content and then HoneyBadger35 for pulling it all together, Ch7 news is waiting!
Makes watching countless hours of watching youngsters playing footy worthwhile.

 

[twotooto]

Yeah, nice work lads. And done all in your own time, on your own dime, much appreciated.

If it's any consolation I was getting paid whilst listening at work yesterday.

 

[dajesmac]

Great pod lads, thanks for that.

 

[JDWCE]

Really enjoyed this. Cheers boys

 

[Bender_]

Great podcast from all involved.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Great stuff!

 

[Zurgblade]

Great listening guys, very well done

 

[flamingEMBERS]

So much insight. I think we've won the draft

 

[MrKK]

Nice work guys.
Although I'd like to get Asterix's real opinion of Melbourne; too much beating around the bush between him and Badge.

So - what part of soft utensils don’t you understand.

We need to start white anting Rivers at the Nancy club
