He only has to look as far as Sinclair to see that playing plenty of VFL can be a good thing for your career. Contrasted against a guy like billings who (to my recollection) rarely played any. It's not about where you start- it's all about where you end up as a player.

I forgot than ginnivan twerp plays for the dorks now. Patto must be starting 22 to wish him good luck before the bounce Paging Dr. Spaceman

If he's looking the goods in that kind of role- it makes it an interesting call on whether we give battle a big bucks, long term deal to make him turn down free agent offers. Might be a gresh type situation, where we are better off taking the FA compo and promoting Arie?

Let's not forget the lad has a bit of far-queue in him too which we could do with in our team evolving away from richo's choirboys.

Impossible He put his arms up in an office. In. an. office.

My suggestion is that we already have one of those someone's- jack sinclair as a fulltime centre square mid. (grab caleb daniel for free draft cost as a salary dump to play HB). Add a guy like mcluggage, also maybe a macrae (as another salary dump) and suddenly our best 22 look like a top 4...

Lol bevo double tapping the pipe: A. playing macrae as a tagger; and B. playing a tagger on a guy like newcombe

I reckon it's more like jack billings syndrome. Perfectionist type who gets in his own head too much trying to be the GOAT from day one. I reckon he needs a shrink to tell him that if he wants to be the GOAT... he's gotta stop piling pressure on himself and enjoy the ride.

I'm going to go into bat (a little) for our troll mate Lifestyle. Yes Lifestyle is way off base suggesting we trade any (let alone all) of steele, wilkie, sincs and marshal in for late first rounders. But..... Lifestyle's overall/general reasoning behind their insane suggestion isn't so...

Plus- brisbanes cap must be absolutely bursting. He will be walking away from a lot of money (from the likes of us) to stay. Which of course he might well do- but he is an attacking mid/wing who often (despite playing an outside role for bris) racks up a dozen + contested possies a game. He's...

Celery cap increasing 25%

With the celery cap going up ~25(?)% that isn't a totally unrealistic number for him to be asking to move. But we'd be nuts to cough up anything near that for a small fwd when we are in desperate need for elite mids.

Brad has already volunteered to organise the welcoming party https://www.afl.com.au/news/516443/crows-pair-hit-with-afl-bans-drug-strike-after-probe But seriously- yeah nah. Blowing a big chunk of our salary cap on a small forward... when our midfield is a dumpster fire- is not the way to go.

Seriously though- if we do something serious about our midfield- why not? We have one of the best coaches in the caper. We have a genuine gun backline. One of the best rucks in the league. King owens membrey higgins hayes is a very strong fwd line. Genuine gun wingmen in wood and hill...

I want a flag next year or the year after

Along with virtually ALL of our (current) best players. That's the whole point. All of steele, marshall, wilkie, sinclair, wood, hill, crouch, webster, membrey, hayes, howard, cordy, ross are 28+ The next gen (owens, pou, wilson, windy) etc will only MAYBE (massive maybe) become reliable guns...

Caleb daniel and jack macrae for virtually free draft cost as salary dumps. Mcluggage or LDU as an RFA. 2025 starting midfield of: Steele Sinclair Mcluggage/LDU Mid rotations of: Macrae Windy Crouch Wilson Ross etc Nas and Daniel off HB, Bonner depth. All while keeping our first round...

Not bad for a terrible midfielder

Just wait until jimmy gets knocked out behind the play- and then the roos player gets 0 weeks because of a brand new tribunal defence the AFL cook up (just for this week only- never to be used again): "The head is sacrosanct, unless you hit a bloke.... that hit a bloke"

I'm not talking about a scorched earth firesale of anyone over 25. I'm talking out us entertaining letting 1 or at most 2 of the likes of marshall, steele sinclair go if we got a fantastic offer for them- ie elite early 20's talents. If our new strategy under ross really is to be pushing for a...

Flag window is in reality 8-10 years regardless by keeping them all and depending on ALL of the likes of pou, windhager, owens, wilson to become elite guns. Plus depending on all of steele, sinclair, wilkie, marshall to remain gun players well into their 30s. That's a fantasy. At least in my...

That's where you are completely wrong. The point of suspensions is to give the league something to point at in their defence when they are being sued for failure of duty of care. Yes. Football is 'more than a game'. It's a disgusting, profit driven corporate enterprise. Yay.

Any/all of steele, sinclair, wilkie, marshall on the table then? (I actually agree with you- but just wanted to make sure that's what you meant.) I think our list profile is a mess- if we really are setting up for a tilt at a flag 3 years from now- we should definately be looking to cash in 1...

Yep. It is.
