If Mayes is legit on the table we should snap him up straight away. Slots straight into the Smith role and still massive upside.
Has been on an upward trend over the last few seasons. Mayes and Docherty debuted in the same season and have almost identical physique and role. Mayes actually...
Watts can slot into our best 22 at either end of the ground while we develop Doedee/Himmelberg/pick 10.
If Melbourne are offering 10 + 27 + Watts I think pull the trigger. Even 10 + Watts would consider.
Any thoughts on SA boy Charlie Ballard?
Currently ranked a third rounder by most accounts but intriguing prospect: 195cm wingman seems to be in the Yeo mould from the footage I've seen. Clearly good aerially and from what I've read a good interceptor.
Far out this side over the past few years amazes me.
No matter how s*** it looks on paper, seems to always manage to stay competitive and be in the hunt.
Why not rookie J. Scharenberg?
Punting on him is surely worth a spot on the rookie list.
Bloke should have taken his kick up the bum after not getting picked up last year. Had better numbers in the SANFL than any of our 2016 draft/rookie selections (admittedly I didn't actually watch any Bays...
Winning the Grand Final at the MCG against a Victorian side is extremely difficult. Not excusing how poor we were yesterday, but the challenge is immense. The last five Grand Finals have been won by a Victorian side against an interstate side. There have only been 4 (great) sides that have...
So Matt Crouch needs 33 to go past Swan for the most disposals ever in a season. Would say he's probably even odds to get that, considering his average of 32.83.
Almost certain to go at least into the no. 2 position, as he needs 15 more.
Also a chance to go past Oliver 2017 for most handballs...
The thing about playing Richmond is that their mids and forwards are sure to get drawn to the ball around their forward-50 arc. GWS tried to kick over the maul, but fossils Johnson and Deledio (who looked physically cooked) were unable to keep Rance, Astbury, Houli accountable in any way. Milera...
Let's look at some trades of comparable mids over the last few years:
Dangerfield for 9, 28, Dean Gore
Redden for 17
Beams for 5, 25, Crisp
Vince for 23
Greenwood for 25
Now Gibbs I would say is better than Greenwood, Vince and Redden, but not nearly as good as Dangerfield or Beams, which...
A friend of mine says he spotted Gibbs having what look like a "professional" conversation in the Belgian Beer Cafe the week before the preliminary finals. I suspect the reason we were so early to jump out was that this trade has been brewing for a long time, at least between Gibbs and the AFC...
If Hartigan doesn't play I think a like for like is out of the question with Tippett going down. I'd suspect Henderson would return, although I would prefer Seedsman. Slightly annoyed Mackay played a serviceable game because it lessens the chance the latter will return who I think can be much...
This might just be the dumbest idea for a thread ever but we all need some optimism after last nights disaster.
Going off Sportsbet who make 4c on the dollar the "probability" of a particular result can be calculated as 0.96/odds. So for a game with even odds of $1.92: 0.96/1.92 = 50%...
Of course Power were going to be super fired up. Never going to blow them away in the opening quarter and their energy was always going to put us under the pump and so the fact we managed to mitigate the early damage and finish all square is a win.
1. Rory Sloane
2. Eddie Betts
3. Daniel Talia
4. Josh Jenkins
5. Kyle Hartigan
6. Luke Brown
7. Scott Thompson
8. Tom Lynch
9. Rory Laird
10. Jake Lever
Most Improved:
KYLE HARTIGAN by a country mile (Although Atkins, Lyons, Cameron have all cemented their place in best 22 and have been much...
Ok so we were s**t last night but this is still the same side that beat Sydney and ran the Hawks close.
The biggest issue was by far the lack of winning the the ball out of the centre and our outside players (Sans Cameron) looking flat footed whenever they got the footy.
Our centre brigade...
Nah mate didn't trade Danger out. I'm meaning Sloane hopefully fits into the Dangerfield void left at Adelaide.

I brought in Selwood and Sloane instead of Neale and Sloane this week with Neale's injury doubts. Moderately happy. I was at the game on Saturday and I can't see...
I'm 100% getting Cox in this week. Even if he doesn't get better I think he's much less of a risk of getting dropped than Smith. He's clearly been held back in the VFL for long enough, with enough hype to get a good 5-6 game stint minimum. As you said the way Bucks talks about him suggests his...
Is Papley a field option if we still have him? Also could put Tippa or McCarthy on but I'm thinking I might roll the dice with Papley. Could backfired but boy when he's going he's going. Imagine if he hadn't turned over his first 6 possessions. Would have been 100+ likely.
Also Dea or DBJ on field?
