Could go down as a Hurn, Stewart, Vlaustain type of A+ defender. Can get a solid 8 years of consistency and leadership being one of if not the best small defenders in the league. Really wanted him to be a mid but I think well get a lot more value out of him as a team keeping him down back and...
Yes but how about we knock every negative part of Setterfield or Perkins game when they were in their 3rd year? He's a kid, he's not the finished product. Don't look at all the negatives, Bruno. There are a lot more positives with his game. How many mids have we had that crack in the day he does...
Have some faith in the kid guys. He's only in his third year and learning a position which doesn't come naturally to him. Usually we love it when he absorbs contact, fends off and dishes to a player. Or how he wins free kicks. Or his mongrel. We were saying this just a week ago.
Today, the...
Surely we don't need more mids? For once this is an area of the ground where we have significant depth and talent.
We should be targeting small forwards and half backs. If we get another gun half back we can release Nic Martin back onto a wing/ midfield and get rid of Kelly.
LDU only if we...
Hear me out..
Sam draper as a 2nd ruck the rest full forward.
When opposition rucks are having a chop out swing him in and use his X factor to full potential against other second rucks. Can take clunks more frequently in strong attacking positions. Goldy is still more than serviceable for...
Feel like we may be seeing him more as a forward next year with Goldsteins ability. He is too good of a ruckman and realistically our team will better off if he plays a healthy amount in there. It's tantalising to think of draper as a 50/50 ruck forward though. I don't know what his forward...
We're going to go from having no 200cm+ defenders to having Mckay, Reid, Hayes, Cox. One of them has to get traded or make it as a forward. Not to mention Baldwin and Ridley.
Time will tell but it'll be interesting to see what our backline looks like in a few years. Should be of a very high...
Net Change in trade week
In:
Duursma
Mckay (BZT upgrade)
Gresham (Snelling/Guelfi upgrade)
Goldstein (Phillips upgrade)
Pick 35
Out:
BZerk
Massimo
Future 3rd
Pick 52 downgraded to 61
We’ve basically upgraded Zerk-Thatcher with someone who has a proven track record against the monster key...
IF we were able to buy pick 13 for Gresham , and package it for pick 4 with pick 8, it would be a miracle. Pick Watson or Z. Duursma. Probably Watson. We need an elite small forward, we have enough 186-192 flankers with high ceilings. Watson will be a jet and gives some much needed X factor to...
Look, B. Zerk is a great interceptor and is very confident and skilled at that. If you use him in that role he will do just fine. He is a dud key defender though. He cannot play on the big boys, and honestly I'm glad he's gone. As much as I love him, Hogan kicked 9 on him, Hawkins kicked 8 and...
Guys I think we need to cut Adrian some slack from the drugs saga. No first rounders and not exactly a destination team. Yet we still manufactured Langford and Laverne in that time, and got rid of Jake ******* Carlisle for pick 6. The saga set our whole club back a long way, and I think the...
Gosh his hands are impeccable, and his attack on the footy is something we have missed in the engine room for a long time. Can someone tell me what parish offers that caldwell doesn't (except parish being less injury prone)?
A midfield of Caldwell, Hobbs, Tsatas, Setterfield going forward with...
Yes his form has dropped off a bit, but so has ours as a team. Tough as a small forward in your second year especially after playing Collingwood, Geelong port and Brisbane in consecutive weeks with our defence also going down making it a lot harder for our forwards to have impact. Like the look...
If we get Wardlaw, and Phillipou is still available after pick 10, we should trade 22 + F2 +F3 for the next available pick and take Phillipou, and take Davey. Let Parish go in FA next year, and have 2 first rounders.
Future midfield
Wardlaw
Phillipou
Perkins
Hobbs
Caldwell
Merrett
Setterfield...
If we can manage to upgrade 22 to a mid first rounder for F2, and finish the trade period with:
3 First rounders (4, ~13, Davey)
+
J Davey, Munkara
+
2 former Top 10 talents (Weidemann + Setterfield)
It would be highly successful.
Essentially 5 first round talents through the door (+ Jayden...
Really happy with setterfield. No way he can be detrimental to our list.
190+cm Mid
Defensive minded
Top 5 pick, high end talent
Played his last 2 games for Carlton in his natural position and had 26d 5m 6t 5c and 24d 2m 4t 5c..
24 years old
Boyhood essendon fan
At worst he is better than...
