Review Rd 15 Review - Freo Get Back on Track Over the Dons
Not sure if this was apparent for those watching at home, but at the game Henry was very clearly holding his width on the wing, as in regularly standing 30m further from the play than his closest opponent. Interesting to watch, and it clearly worked for him, great to see him solidify the... -

Game Day 2022 AFL Draft
We’d also made regular reference during the trade period last year about wanting to hold onto the pick specifically so we’d be in a position to elicit offers. -

Game Day 2021 AFL Draft & AFL Rookie Draft
Posting for posterity: Erasmus is the one I want, and glad to see Cal has linked us with him in the updated Phantom. He has excellent positioning and overhead marking, which combined with his work rate is going to allow him to impact early and could develop into either an elite medium forward... -

List Mgmt. 2021 Young Talent Time
Erasmus seems like such a perfect fit. Seems like even in the worst case, he becomes the General Forward we need, best case becomes the post-Fyfe midfield bull. Can’t wait to overlook him with both picks, melt, and then be perfectly happy with the players we selected instead in two years time. -

Game Day AFL Trade Period 2021
Sounds like an attempt to spin the media narrative and claim some level of victory when it ends up being the 22 + F3 that Geelong asked for, with nothing coming back. -

List Mgmt. 2021 List Management: Draft, Trade, Free Agency and Academy
Agreed. I actually think we have a good opportunity to do something similar this year if we go into the draft with both 6 and 8. We’d be in a good position to either: 1. Get two players you want 2. Get one of the players you wanted and a slider 3. Get one of the players you wanted, and trade... -

List Mgmt. 2021 List Management: Draft, Trade, Free Agency and Academy
How could you forget Carlton in 2019 😉. After all of the players they were keen on were selected prior to their first Pick at 9, they made bids on Liam Henry and Tom Greene in succession to buy enough time to come to a deal with Gold Coast who were keen to trade up to select Sam Flanders, who... -

Traded Ed Langdon [traded with #26 and 2020 4th to Melbourne for #22, #79 and 2020 2nd]
Bargain. Was forced to play the ‘accountable’ wing role due to playing in the same team as the more flashy Brad Hill, so I reckon he has a lot more growth left in him if he is freed to attend more stoppages in 2020. Enjoy, Dees.- Words: 47

Mega Thread 2019 List Management, Free Agency & Trade thread #2
At the risk of going full nuffie - I have no issue with the Saints trade today. There is a reasonable case to be made for us to select one of Robertson or Jackson if we have two firsts, which means having Pick 6 and 7 would likely mean having to reach and leave some ‘value’ on the table... -

AFL 2019 Round 2: Gold Coast v Fremantle, 3:40pm AEST MS
This is my biggest pet hate.. players deliberately fumble to draw the holding free from the player that has committed to the tackle.- Words: 24
