We have been underpaying and likely will continue to. We can’t change our draftee contracts immediately so cant give any more money now to them.
We're also going to likely lose/move on Cripps and Brockman who will probably be in our top 5-10 paid at present right?
Say we give Hewett a bucket...
Good breakdown, pretty uninspiring unfortunately doesn't seem there are many bangingdown the doors like previous years. Not really found many options Oscar Cail and Ollie Griffin look good in the CTL as medium forwards but NHH is just as likely and prior to this week he wasn't showing much.
Oh absolutely. It's way more complex than just needing a bigger stronger key back everything is fixed. More a comment on the 3 being a little undersized. Which probably means a couple of extra goals a week get through. This can be offset by better forward and midfield play but looking at the...
He's just being asked to do too much. We kind of have 3 × 2nd or 3rd key defenders (Brock/Edwards/Ginbey) who are probably best using their speed and workrate to beat their oppo but we have no real number 1 lock down KPD.
I started by suggesting some end of career Rucks like Blicavs and Stanley would Geelong take a late pick for one of them? Especially when they're likely retiring in the next 12 months?
What about Witts? Could we trade a 2nd or our 3rd rounders for him?
Then Bailey gets us the compo from the...
Yea never in the history of football has anyone gamed the FA system to get the most out of FA signings. Or maybe it literally happened last year (and happens every year) when we traded overs for Starcevich so that we could keep the FA compo. Pretty easy example of how there could be more to play...
If you think Xerri isn't a top 5 ruck you're kidding yourself hitouts alone is a garbage metric. Bailey is more likely to hit it an oppo player than an Eagle so him winning hitouts isnt a good thing.
just so I understand are you saying a ruck who can't mark but gets hitouts (regardless of...
Bailey isn’t beating any of the rucks we played in the first month. Flynn was fine against Sweet. Grundy/Witts/Xerri killed him but they're probably all top 5 Rucks right? Definitely top 8 Rucks. I'm not a Flynn fan boy but Bailey isn’t a ruck and the opportunity to get a good player in for him...
