Definitely need a point of difference inside but we will play Elijah like the Pies play De Goey so that may help.
We needed the x factor as you said so Elijah once again performs two roles.
If we bundled up picks and used our F1 to move up to Geelong's #8, then a tall defender is definitely...
I guess when I think of outside class, I'm looking at a range of attributes, not just inside 50 delivery. Acres is probably our biggest butcher inside 50, but he does so many other things ands gets so many opportunities to make up for it.
Ollie Hollands is right as rain. Wouldn't have gone as...
Not really the point. We got 3 of them 12 months ago and will get another 2 next year. We can't play them all. Acres and Ollie Hollands aren't getting dropped. Binns can deliver. Camporeales will be fine.
Inside pace is a far bigger need. I'd be shocked if we opted for another outside runner...
Not sure how much more class Blues need on the outside. We'll be stacked with outside runners with Acres, Hollands, Cottrell, Binns and the Camporeale twins coming next year.
Inside pace would be useful. A genuine tall defender. A class half forward - hoping Elijah Hollands steps up here.
Is part of the reason that he played in the WAFL seniors for most of the year?
Where was he being used positionally?
Yes ... I did watch highlights tonight and got seduced. I mean, we have a Jack Martin inconsistency problem too.
Imagine if the kid was good enough to go that early. This would be where North would bid on Daicos and Darcy before taking JHF, thus lowering the points payable for their F/S. This will happen one day I'm sure.
Who knows with this club? Not this week obviously, but Carroll and Ramsay have shown enough to get a run. Ramsay has been travelling emergency but not given a go. Durdin has not had a decent run of games due to minor niggles.
We also have Jack Carroll.
Dow is a clearance player and has to be at the coalface because that's really all he does.
If we can get a balanced mid with pace and reasonable efficiency, I'd be jumping at it.
The problem with SPS going outside is that he's slow. I think he may try to get home...
I'd be upset if Carlton went for an inside midfielder with our first pick.
Cripps, Dow, Kennedy, Setterfield, Walsh, SPS ... I mean I think we will lose one of those guys but we have played a couple out of position because our outside midfielder stocks are low. We play Newnes and Cottrell there...
I'd hope it is a lack of continuity due to injury the last couple of years.
2015
9 VFL games, 3 times in bests, 7 goals (10 AFL games)
2016
15 VFL games, 11 times in bests, 11 goals (5 AFL games)
2017
15 VFL games, 10 times in bests, 17 goals (4 AFL games)
2018
6 VFL games, 4 times in bests...
Training with Carlton now. Will we or won't we?
Must say I liked him in his draft year and was hoping we'd pick him up. Injury plagued career to date. Is he free small forward insurance?
On behalf of Carlton FC, I again want to thank the AFL for unfettered access to two state league players after our 2 win wooden spoon season last year.
I can't help but feel they wanted to do this for the Suns last year but couldn't because of us.
Question: Does Collingwood beating Geelong in the Qualifying final then seed them ahead of Geelong coming into the prelim? Thinking Geelong might have #15 and Brisbane has the Pies pick at #16.
Edit: Just read the posts above. I am sure this is the way it was years back. Didn't know they had...
Well, that is our current predicament. Shiel came close but not close enough. Tried to get Smith, Saad and Rockliff. McGovern was our ray of light and he had other options. Setterfield too.
We can only chip away and try to get players who can see our vision.
Notice which side is having a go at the other side though. Sheesh, when Richmond did that to us and took Trent Knobel, they did us a favour because we selected Eddie Betts.
