Why do we even watch the sport… duds & spuds everywhere

To watch Dusty & Shai

Should be looking into getting Powell pepper to the club

Only benefit I see in picking up Powell Pepper is the fact we'll get to delist him.

To watch Dusty & Shai

Reasonably good point

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

I think the club has a bit of an identify crisis at the moment. Do they truly believe they can compete for a flag next year?

I've never been a believer you can half ass a flag run or a rebuild. You either fully in on one or the other. You see the Dogs and Melbourne both loading up with additional players.

If their only moves are losing Chol, CCJ, picking up Tarrant and then some 18 year old kids without fixing the midfield or forward line in the short term, it tells me they aren't serious about another flag run for 2022. The moves in the next week are going to be telling.

How did you feel March 2017 ?

 

[tiger_tough]

I reckon O'Brien will make a good defender @ the bulldogs.

Just Starting

 

[Barunga Bullet]

im getting really worried now that we've dropped the ball in trading up with our 2nd and 3rd rounders. lots of clubs are after the dogs pick and i dont see anyone else we could entice for a pick this year.

Is this Mr Magic's alt account?

 

[HumanMeatball]

Bargain. What are we doing?

Yuck no thanks

 

[prodigy]

For those worried, there's still a week of this shit to go. Plus teams can trade picks all the way up until the draft. Relax.

 

[Barunga Bullet]

Geez there's some Negative Nancy's on here! Toughen up princess's and back in the blokes that gave us 3 flags in 4 years! They know what they're doing, which is more than anyone of us here do

 

[TiggerMan22]

The question isn't whether they would be prepared to let him go at 15 (and I think the answer could surprise as they appear to be drifting toward potential fireale territory), but rather, would we want to repeat Hawthorn's topping up mistakes and give up a first rounder for a recycled 29 year old stat padder?

Thank God the answer seems to be an emphatic no

He was AA squad this year and got 25 Brownlow votes. He may rack up some nothing possessions but he's still an elite player. Even 10 nothing possessions a game is still averaging 25 good ones.

A recycled stat padder is quite the understatement.

 

[Barnzy]

Yuck no thanks

86 goals in his last 51 games. Why yuck?

I guess if you're not a star you're a dud on here.

Has been worked out. Was very very average this year

 

[tiger_tough]

I'd take SPP for one of our later picks. He obviously has some maturing to do but has big upside. He's a beast.

 

[bc27]

I think the club has a bit of an identify crisis at the moment. Do they truly believe they can compete for a flag next year? Would anyone be surprised if we missed the 8 again?

I've never been a believer you can half ass a flag run or a rebuild. You either fully in on one or the other. You see the Dogs and Melbourne both loading up with additional players.

If their only moves are losing Chol, CCJ, picking up Tarrant and then some 18 year old kids without fixing the midfield or forward line in the short term, it tells me they aren't serious about another flag run for 2022. The moves in the next week are going to be telling.

Pretty much strap yourself in and get ready to hope our boys are fit enough to have a crack. Cause I’ve got no doubt the club will be cracking in for a flag next season with the cattle we have.
I’m getting the feeling if we fail and miss the 8 then don’t be surprised to see Dimma walk away from the club, Riewoldt and Cotch to retire.
We will be taking at least 4 of the picks we have right now because there is no one on offer to have a crack at. Cerra wasn’t going to be worth the $$ he wanted. Tom Mitchell isn’t worth losing a first round pick.
Other then that there not much else on offer.

Nailed it.

 

[Joey longshadow]

Why do we judge our midfield based on 2021? Our best clearance players in Prestia and Edwards didn’t play or played injured. Martin missed 6-games. Cotchin missed games or was playing hurt. Soldo didn’t play and Nank missed games or played injured.

We’ve got Bolton and Graham hitting their prime age for midfielders.

Add a ‘ready to go’ midfielder this draft, get some significant improvement out of just one of RCD, Ross & Dow and we are set:

Nank
Soldo
Prestia
Martin
Bolton
Graham
Cotchin
Edwards
Lambert
RCD, Ross or Dow
New Draftee

I agree we need to add some more youngsters to our midfield soon, but given a half decent run with injury the midfield doesn’t worry me. The small/medium forwards (Fritsch, Pickett, Weightman equivalent) are our biggest issue by far.

I honestly think Stack will help significantly with the small forward issues and if MRJ lives up to potential he will also ,our looming problem up forward is talls ...it's why it's essential we get at least one of Amiss or Van Rooyen I also think Bazzo or Aleer should be looked at as KPD options .. actually I'd take Amiss with 7 ..so if we can get 17 ,off the dogs i'd look at
7..Amiss
15...Goater/ Roberts / Van Rooyen
17 same as above
26..Bazzo/ Aleer
28 Sonsie or a rated midfield slider and in this draft there will be at least one of those at 28 ..
Ideally I'd like 2 mids
2 kPF
1 KPD from this draft

Geelong want pick 8 to 15 for Jordan Clarke. What a joke.

we will do the bulk of our stuff on draft night. watch this space.

Yes we will be doing a lot of live trading of picks imo.

If Fremantle cough up anything like that they deserve to be where they are just your average run of the mill football club that is happy in mediocrity

[Infamy]

Ahhh a "different way" so they finally realised that being a retirement home isn't the way to go.

Not so sure about that, they are looking at Talia & Ceglar (both 30+) to replace Henderson & Fort
