Blake was mishandled to an almost comical degree under the Richo regime. He was flicked around just about everywhere on the ground save for key back and his best position, true midfielder. He's deceptively quick, has some nice dukes, and has a knack of waltzing through traffic and then trying to...

Impressive stuff from the head honchos for the most part. Rolling 6 into all of those deals was smooth. Only blemish on it is losing those three guys for relative peanuts. Would have preferred a worse draft hand this year and/or next to keep one of Bruce or Acres. Hopefully their departure...

It's 6, whatever our 3rd round was, Blake Acres, Jack Steven, round 2 and 4 next year for those three players and the dockers round 3 next year. Hopefully that nets Jones and then some twisties for Butler. Might not get it done though. * Ameet off and keep Bruce. Decent deals from a total...

Acres. 10. 58. 2020 r2 and r4. For brad hill. * me dead.

Not seeing what the big deal is with King. He is a luxury. Gold campaigners ring him up and offer him massive sheets to stave of some of the media heat, he talks to his family and manager and they advise him (wisely) to secure the bag, if it turns out that he wants to leave before 2022, he is still...

What I would want is to offer geelong steven, paying half or more of his money for next year. For pick 24. They are taking the p1ss for a 50s pick and a discounted wage. I'm assuming cap space is a more valuable asset to them than later picks this year.

Concussion isn't like having a dud hammy, there's only so many times your brain can get squashed around inside your skull before you start suffering serious damage. Paddy is probably in a worse spot than Kosi was. Very sad situation. Feel for him, but he should never play again. I think it's a...

We will be laughing if Gresham becomes as good of a player as Taranto. Anyway there's no way TT is leaving Sydney and no way Gresham will be traded, realistically. Just find it a bit strange how highly Gresham is rated for his actual production this year. Very good player, but not elite by any means

Nick Riewoldt is the same height. Cousin jack is shorter. Tim Membrey is shorter than Jacob Townsend. There's more to it than height as far as forward ability goes, Battle has it in spades in my opinion. Anyway, we have a 6'8 cheetah with cranes for arms waiting in the wings and one of the most...

If anyone personified St Kilda it was Danny Frawley. Absolutely tragic news. Some of my favourite footy memories are listening to spud take the p1ss on triple m before the football on a saturday afternoon. By all accounts a special people person. He will be sorely missed by many, not least his...

Sier and a pick would do the trick. He is a beast. Better for age profile than Ross who could then be potentially offloaded for more assets

Tassie has never been given an opportunity. Gold Coast has. Tasmania's turn. I'm not particularly bothered if they require some support to stay operational. The AFL has dumped potentially nine figures into the Suns for a shocking record and some better auskick numbers. It's criminal that...

Strong stuff DH. I agree on the thrust of your post. The list isn't that bad, it's ordinary, but a better organised development system and points of emphasis with coaching will give it a serious lift. Ratten is impressive. Not a superstar coach, but you don't need one, just an intelligent bloke...

Love him. Gun. Doing it on one leg as well. Next year I would be interested to see what would happen if he were to be used as a first option extractor in the middle rather than a defensive minded midfielder. He and Hunter could do some serious damage as a one-two punch in there.

Is mclean on the outer or something? I get the feeling he would be difficult to snatch off them

Coffield has actually put on a truckload of weight. Most important thing for him is to have confidence in that laserbeam of a peg he's got, and use it to cut teams up. Hunter on the other hand looks to have a nice strut on him already though. Despite being built like Shane Warne. Get him to...

Why Marsh over White? Admittedly i have a large soft spot for him but Marsh hasn't really caught my eye at all. I don't see why both wouldn't survive especially if a couple of contracted players get traded. How many players are going to get turned over? I think more than 8 is unnecessary

Obviously hasnt been ideal (so far, and dealing with an apparently wreckd body) but he's superior to Gibbs assuming health next year imo. Beams I would class as about equal to hannebery with both of them mostly healthy and on the park. The key point is that Hannebery only cost a list spot...

If you had three picks around that mark in succession and they all turned out to be players of his quality, that would be a good return. The draft is a crapshoot and if players like him and Hill can be added to complement the guys in that similar age bracket who have some experience under their...

If it turns out that the steven deal isnt only between saints and cats, then this would be the move, especially if the talk is true that outside of the top end the 1st round will be a pretty even spread talent-wise

Geelongs third will be a rubbish pick. I like Constable, a lot, so accounting for age he has a similar value to Steven, just a bit less. Geelongs 2nd round if they have it will fall around 35-40, that and Constable would be fair.

Ye it's a bit mind boggling. Can't recall a single game at the top level where he's been a net negative. Despite that he's had far less opportunity than several players who would fit in that category. I'll be shattered if he gets delisted, he deserves at least one year under a new coach. Lewie...

My point is, King is at the moment as likely a prospect of being at the saints next year as Brayshaw. I.e. very slim, unless you are close to him and have different or better mail. So unless something changes that, I would prefer to go after players like Brayshaw over players like King, the...

Cant think of that many zippy midfielders who were able to continue dominating by using their speed into their 30s, time seems to get most of them by that age. Or they become effective in other ways. He could still be AFL quality, but not 4x best and fairest quality. That's why it would be...

yeah so why would you try and fix that by trying different talls? Why not address the probelm directly by getting better midfielders? Any bunch of gypsies can get it inside 50 at an ok rate, what makes good sides great is turning that into shots on goal instead of turnovers. The biggest...

Steven's game isn't going to age very well sadly. In a couple of years when he cant create separation from his opponent any more he won't have many weapons he can use to hurt teams.

Would do our pick for Brayshaw in an instant tbh. Very small chance of anyone that good being available at that point in the draft and if there is, you are better off trading down to maximise the chance of snagging him, whoever he turns out to be. Melbourne likely say no for a pick 6 straight...

Not trying to be a party pooper, but most likely of those to turn it probably Brad hill and that seems like 50/50 at best looking from the outside.

No doubt he's looking good, but you can have as many elite talls as you want. Who is going to deliver the pill to them? Ross and Steven? Dunstan? Hunter is looking good, Steele is a nice 3rd mid, but the current setup is simply not even a finals midfield. Who are you hanging the hopes on...

Not really understanding the Ben king attraction. First of all to trade for him after one year at gold coast would require a Boyd tier trade haul, maybe more. In addition to that, there is already a literal clone of him on the list. I am not really concerned at all with the big guy stocks on the...
