Well coaching staff is most likely targeting him, so you might get disappointed.
Talent and defensive smarts wise, he would definitely be an upgrade over Dean and even Frampton.
Not sure if you have heard, but this man is in town at the moment. Perhaps he can show us few hand signals that we can use next year.

He would be our best defender over Moore and Howe as well. Just old but still younger than Howe!

Not really. Just makes the deliberate out of bounds rule clearer.

I just looked up uncontracted players for 2025 and Bodie Ryan from the hawks is still uncontracted.
Cousin of Jacob Ryan and similar height but plays more of a Maynard role(got that dog in him).
He might be a good money ball option.

Calm down.
No need to overreact, there are a lot better players than Ashcroft that haven't won a Norm Smith and don't even play in a GF, although Bucks winning a Norm Smith in a losing team does put him on a god like level though.
Parker and Roan have shown a decent ability and good composure so I think they make it. HH has also shown plenty before the knee. Allan I'm not so sure. Has had chances and years in the system but lacks something. Maybe just real belief as seems to sheep dog the packs and hang back.

They are different rules. Just because the media stir things up doesn’t mean it needs to be expanded. All rules where the umpires judge intent are just reducing the quality of the game. The AFL have seen failure to keep the ball in play as crowd enhancing. I see it as a garbage rule that is not enforced consistently. The proposed last possession rule between the arcs is a long way from last touch. The potential issue will be bad umpiring which we have and delays if they use replays for decisions.

If you want to be competitive against Brisbane next year, you're going to need may. This culture killer was instrumental in winning their flag. Winter is over and the snowflakes have melted
I suspect the club won't end up with May due to cultural reasons, but you can see below why the club is doing its due diligence around him.
Frampton had an ok season, however even in a down year for May, he is a much more effective player across nearly all of the key defensive categories highlighted below.
It looks marginal, but the club would be viewing this as a way to upgrade a position in our starting 23 for no draft cost, while also offering the depth at KPD and positional flexibility with Moore/Howe if they wanted to consider playing either as a forward if required.

Well put it this way, he gets to play alongside the best midfield in the game.
So he is able to shine without a tag most weeks.
If we want to see what Nick’s ceiling is, we need a lot more than just ‘finals De Goey’.
Im talking about a 21 year old in his 3rd season having already won 2 Norm Smith medals. You have to admire the talent of this guy.
The game has been fortunate to see Naicos and Ashcroft come in over the last few years, because these two will be dominant for many seasons to come..

Naicos is a champion, and his time to shine will come, if it hasn't already. But he definitely needs help in our midfield, and l really hope Butters is a priority for us in the next 12 months...

Why even make the comparison in the first place?
Comparison to who?

I hate these comparisons between the two, why can’t we just appreciate that Washcroft and Naicos are two generational talents and we get the pleasure of seeing them battle it out for the next 15 years
What are u talking about. Where did l compare Ashcroft to Nick, buddy?

You said he’s taken over as the best player in the competition.
Nick is the best player.

Parker, Steele & Harrison have all impressed at AFL level & Allan has had moments. Zero evidence?

Honestly, who gives a rats toss bag who is no1 in the league.
Nobody would dispute Nick is in the top 5.
Now, let’s bloody go get him some help this offseason.
