As long as we aren't repeating the previous year's mistake of giving absolutely everyone a contract for next year.

We need to actually make some tough calls. Parnell, McHenry, maybe Borlase, etc.

Would Murray have been taken by anyone else? Felt the case when selected.
The rumour was that the club really wanted him and told him to “pit the cue in the rack” a few weeks ago to not attract attention to himself..

So they are probably happy with grabbing him at 7..

Its fxxkn it up and missing out on the next player they wanted due to stupidity that looks to have cost.
 
Incipid club once again shoots itself in the foot…

“Yah, we smashed those west coast witches hats”.. and stuffed our midseason draft position losing out on a player we wanted in the process.

What an achievement.
Are you serious? You're mad now that we played too well against West Coast? Were we meant to tank that game to move up to pick 17 in the second round of the MSD?
 
Toby Murray is clearly inevitable. I’d say we pick him with our first. This selection would essentially be the final nail in Himmelberg’s AFC career coffin, freeing him up to sign with GWS as a FA.

The other pick could be any number of players but I’d personally be hoping for Beecken if he’s there to add a bit of dash and skill - makes sense with Parnell to be delisted, Milera’s career up in the air, and B Smith to retire at the end of 2025.

McLennan would be a pointless selection for mine. Looks a classic “really good SANFL, not enough weapons for AFL” type to me.

I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to taking a pure ruck like Pike, but do we really think we’re taking both a fwd/ruck AND a pure ruck in the same midseason draft? I’d suggest not.

Personally I’m glad we aren’t really linked to any true midfielders - chances of hitting a quality AFL mid in a midseason draft are extraordinarily low. Target talls and outside players with X factor.

Decent chance we pass on the 2nd pick and end up with just Murray.
Very on brand. Would’ve enjoyed a Beecken pick at 7 personally.
