Briz interesting that you think that Smith is Robbos replacement, must admit I figured more Gardner- feels like all that tape will soon be switched from strapping to duct tape to keep him together. I love the way he goes about it but I fear for Darcy’s longevity.
Felt like we were constantly a pick late through the entire draft, sometimes that happens and the draft doesn’t fall for you- probably should say most times.
However Robertson looks like a genuine beast, Smith at worst will add to an already strong culture and Coleman is a player we knew well...
Rivers and Sharp would feel like quiet a haul when taking into consideration adding an extra first rounder next year and Ah Chee as a walk in best 22.
While neither would be considered ready to go round one or even this year, both have good strengths that could be developed into solid (or...
I remember picking Allison two years ago and that didn’t go well. I think that Payne could transform our backline as I’m still not convinced that Adams and Gardner as a combo work.
Ah Chee for mine will be the headliner with Cam to improve but more of a slow burn. I would love Cox to break out...
I was about to Like this but then realised it would be in an imaginary like and then I would be stuck in some perpetual loop muttering something about Pavlov and his dogs...someone please hurry up with draft night already
I would have no issues with us doubling up and drafting both Cooper Stephens and Rantall. It is evident this year that Fagan likes a more defensive style winger assuming that Cluggs has the more offensive side sewn up for the next decade either these guys could develop into the complimentary...
This place will be a riot when we take Sharp at the end of the first round despite it being a good value pick at a position of need and he is a two time AA.
I was really happy with most of the kids Cam, Cox and Bailey all did some good things in what was a hostile environment on a stage like nothing they would have ever faced.
Apart from being jumped early there is a lot to like from the game, much like the Carlton game we will be better off for...
I would drop McStay for Cox.
I fully appreciate what Dan has done for the first couple of weeks however for me Raynor makes him expendable in the forward setup. We can't afford to have a key forward's primary role as being able to bring the ball to ground. When Dan marks I have no faith that...
Got my sons Auskick pack which included 2019 season footy cards, was wrapped to get lachie Neale but as a docker! We registered those official trade papers right
Loved watching those forward handballs, there is such a difference between winning the clearance with a slow moving backwards handball and one of those line breaking forward passages. Gives the forward so much more of a chance 1 on 1 with a quick ball in.
For those draft watchers could Sam Sturt play HBF, he seems to have the physical attributes to play an intercept player but haven’t heard the option talked about
I think that we did above average during the trade period, especially with consideration to the hand we were dealt. Not great, but we achieved what we wanted to get done.
When it comes to trade week we will never have an even playing field, as the draw away to other states will always be...
Tricks poorly written on my behalf the one year reference is in relation to the cost of having him now rather than in a year as a free agent. Agree any signing would be as a multi year contract
I think the board is being a bit rough an Dylan, the trade value of Neale is really not black and white.
Firstly, let me say that Neale is a very good player and fills a great need in our team (I classify him as very good). However, there are some drawback with Neale in that his career is...
I really like Jayden Short, wonder if there is something we could do if we did a trade with Adelaide and ontrade one of those picks to Richmond for Short and their end of round first.
We might end up trading out of the the top 10 but would end up turning our pick into Short and two first round...
Probably not the right thread but I feel like Big O's value is almost greater as a second ruck. Up forward he is a legitimate dangerous target and applies great pressure. I feel like the O is a chance for 2 goals a game and his presence has meant that defenders can't zone off him onto Hipwood or...
Think we are really seeing the reaping of the benefits from the structural changes made at the beginning of the season. Defenders have a hard time zoning off our three talls leaving a lot of one-on-ones when teams play an extra back the mids are better at waiting for the right opportunity rather...
If Carlton doesn't trade 1 and Rankine is there at our pick hard to see one of the SA clubs not trying to engineer a trade, live trades will add another dimension to draft day
Couldn't agree more, seeing how all the kids celebrate on the field with Lester really emphasises how important a part of the group he is.
I have a feeling he will be around the club a long time even after he hangs up the boots, great example to players that talent only gets you so far...
