I am bullish on Rosas, see a bit of Hill in him. Would be very keen as feel he could have a similar impact as Hill has at Pies or a Stengle.

Crazy if we aren’t in the conversation

He ain't as good as either of those guys.

People said the same about Stengle.

 

[Bluelegs]

People said the same about Stengle.

Stengle always had talent just had off-field issues.

I like Rosas but I reckon his ceiling is a solid b grader.

 

[Scythe]

Rosas isn't a needle-mover, but if you could get him for pretty cheap, then worth a look

This years draft is just gross. Adding on to it being a shallow draft (both for top end talent and depth).

Looking at Adelaide’s first as an example:

• currently pick 14
• drops back a place for Oscar Allen

  compo (15)
• drops back a place for TDK compo (16)
• gc take uwland in top 5 (no change as it eats up gc pick 15)
• gc take Patterson top 5 (17)
• Brisbane take Annable top 5 (18)
• Carlton take dean top 10 (no change as it eats up TDK compo)
• Essendon take sweid in the teens (19)

If gc trade their 1st and Carlton trade TDK compo, Adelaide’s first could be at 21, or later noting:

• gc have another 2nd round prospect,
• Sydney have 2 x 2nd round prospects,
• Freo have a 2nd round prospect,
• Essendon have a 2nd round prospect,
• st kilda have a 2nd round prospect.

Potential wce assistance package and end of first round compo (Draper, Worpel and maybe more) as well. Our pick at 23 could end up well past 30.

Don’t forget Worpel, Silvagni and Draper compo also.

 

[Lampers]

Don’t forget Worpel, Silvagni and Draper compo also.

And Spargo compo!!!!!

 

[Scythe]

And Spargo compo!!!!!

Three-year deal, premiership player, and small forwards are in demand (and he's the smallest!) Band 1, surely.

 

[ray_purchase]

Still not linked to a gun key forward.

Same shit every trade period.

 

[I Love Lamb]

Same shit every trade period.

Mihocek

 

[Lord Nev]

We don't need one. Definitely keen to improve the forward line, but midfield is first priority in terms of top quality IMO. Fix that and the forward line will follow.

There's only 1 gun key forward playing in the prelims. (Morris and Gunston are mediums IMO)

It's a nice to have, but it's no guarantee of success.

Which gun key forward is on the market? Can't pull them out of thin air.

Mihocek

Will Steven King bring Tom Hawkins and Gary Ablett out of retirement and trade for JUH??

 

[Scythe]

Proper Gander Daemon you two are suspiciously in sync today (the same posts)

Our midfield is fine, half our best 22 can play midfield, issue was Goodwin cooking up the balance, not the cattle.

I like to count each individual 'like' I receive and take a minute to appreciate them all equally.

Replacing Trac or Clarry (or both) with a more versatile and skilled mid will change our fortunes way more than getting a gun key forward.

 

[SugarHealey]

Morris reporting Trac is open to Sydney, GC or Adelaide also. Interstate teams.

I would also think the Blues will be into him...

I would say, we want the best possible pick for Tracca, IF he wanted to go.?

So with GCSuns having pick 6 alive in this draft, then that's what it takes.! we can round out things but nothing less than that.
.................

Otherwise we can entertain the Sydney Swans at P9 + a future pick to round it out...
... but IMO we have to get into the Top 8 picks this year, or its a gamble.

Let's see what the Blues come back with... as the Petacca's have powerful connections over there... than they're is the Bombers.?

 

[SugarHealey]

Yeah definitely. Tex looked cooked about 3 years ago then pulled off an epic twilight few years too.

There’s talk Mihocek carried a leg injury most of the year which could explain him battling

Tex should look to Sydney, as a 2nd string key tall... and backup.

 

[SugarHealey]

Few issues with that… Walters retired from Freo this year and Adelaide has pick 14.

But Flanders played best under King when he was our interim coach and his perfect age profile for you list so I would suspect that’s the reason King was on the Goldie last week.

I rate Flanders as a competent player... who is one paced, but can lower his eyes to hit forwards.
I see him as a B grader or B+...

I see Tracca as an A grade footballer.!
