Yeah I acknowledged we need someone like him but Tom Atkins and Newcombe were both undrafted players. If we want one of those theres plenty around.

If Sharp has the ceiling of Tom Green or Dunkley then absolutely. But I feel like you go highest ceiling with top 2 picks and if they bust they bust.
There are plenty of b/c graders (Worpel, Drew, Libba) around, but A grade insiders are less common.

Sure, we can run the crapshoot of hoping to get one via SSP or MSD - but equal (or better) chance of Culley vs Newcombe.

Highly rated players, positions of need, and finally multiple high draft picks to access them - it shouldn’t be that difficult for us this year (until we do stupid trades etc)

Worpel and Drew shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Libba.

shouldnt be thid hard to find a ctl final live stream -.-
 
If we got Starcevich would we be looking to try Ginbey back in the midfield as the defensive midfield bull? I know we have tried briefly and it failed and then his move back has been great for him and us as a team but if we have starcevich as lock down defender (maybe not playing quite as tall as ginbey) then maybe they are wanting to revisit ginbey to the mids again. Surely it's too early in ginbeys career to say that he will now forever more be just a backman? Think maybe yeo being out all year effected this too as he seemed to have that 50/50 kinda split happening with yeo and midfield/backline in his first year?

No, Ginbey is not and will never be a midfielder. He’s a natural defender, leave him there and let him be our CHB so we don’t have to play 2 other spud key defenders alongside him.

Libba ain't a B/C grader.

He's as A grade as they come and we should dream of having a player that excels in what he does.

Out of 800 afl players
23rd for disposals
23rd effective disposals
10th contested possessions
3rd ground ball gets
10th clearances
3rd centre clearances
14th tackles
4th pressure acts.

You put someone like him in our midfield and it will go a long way to us winning a lot more football.

Just take sharp
 
Xavier Taylor named best on in the Coates League Grand Final, was exceptional all day offensively and defensively.

Greeves was solid as usual, Robey kicked 4 and was immense all day.

Dovaston is very good, would love to get him.

Robey has also played the last two weeks with a fractured clavicle. Tough kid, will appeal to Richmond.

X Taylor was imperious and Dovaston is a very, very smart footballer.

What was the disposal talley for Robey this week and last? I saw he kicked one last week but couldn’t find disposals.

We have lacked a lot of things lately, skill and generally good footballers most notably. But toughness is right up there on the list of needs. I’m sold.

JTR returns.

Just Take Robey

13 with 4 goals today.
25 and 1 goal last week.
 
Imagine having a bloke on your list called Sullivan though.
I thought the same about Steele Sidebottom, that geezer is still going despite the new age name.


Phoenix Gothard. There's a proper name

6yr contract offer to Starcevich. I reckon Brisbane will secretly be happy to hand him over. I really hope we arent paying too much. Might not last a year with us.

2 different draft routes

Trades
  • Pick 19, 33, 35 and STK F2 for GC pick 6
  • pick 2 + 15 for ESS pick 4, 5 and F3
Scenario 1
1 Willem Duursma - Transition mid
4 Dyson sharp / Sam Cummings - inside Mid
5 Xavier Taylor / Jacob farrow - defender
6 Lachy Dovaston / Aidan Schubert / Noah hibbens - Fwd

Scenario 2
Trades
- Pick 19, 33, 35 and STK F2 for GC pick 6
1 Willem Duursma - transition - mid
2 CDT - ruck
6 Dyson sharp / Cummings - mid
15 I will be hoping for Dovaston but it will probably be barker or Oskar Taylor, best player available
 
The Starcevich contract offer is hopefully wrong, but the thing I’m more worried about is us handing over a first rounder for him, it sounds laughable but we’re clearly desperate.

I expect we’ll get a priority first that we trade for him, but if that doesn’t happen…

Hes worth a late 1st rounder at best. I wouldnt want to waste even that much.
