Good news. He is the new age Steven King. Put too many miles on the clock as a young ruck and is starting to pay for it now with the body starting to fall apart.
There were people complaining about taking him so early on the Geelong board.
We have taken mature ages at the end the very end of the national draft and the rookie draft that have not worked out but whenever we have coughed up actual draft capital for one it has been a hit (Taylor, Stewart and...
To be confirmed if Mannagh was a reach. People said Stewart was a reach when we took him. Obviously Essendon fans hoping he doesn't translate his VFL form to AFL given he was a freebie from the Dodo.
Dodo seemed pretty certain we would like a key back. I think he wanted Curtin to be available for us to pick, which left Caddy for them.
Fair bit of talk we were after Caddy pre draft but I don't think he was a priority. Cameron should have 3-4 years left and we have Ollie Henry also as an...
What are we risking exactly?
If we did some of the stupid trades opposition supporters are proposing involving our future first, sure, that could end bad but trying to win has no downside in our current position really.
We either play to win with the old guys and we might find out we are at...
Remind me again who Geelong drafted with the #1 pick when GC took the best player in the competition.
Tassie won't give up jack s**t, AFL will stack the deck re any compensation.
We've had a lot of picks in that range courtesy of finishing high on the ladder over the years and it is very difficult to get a good player. The cream is off the board at that stage. We've done better recently with SDK and Holmes but it has basically been a wasteland for a decade otherwise...
I don't think we trade 8 for junk picks this year. If we trade it I think we would do so for a future pick + change to a team that thinks they will make finals next year but won't.
So North have pick 18 which becomes about pick 25, they've lost their two key defenders to free agency and an ACL, and they wouldn't pick Sav? Good luck with that.
The team that has just lost their big key defender to free agency and are hoovering up a number of late first rounders that will end up around pick 20 on draft night might :)
Anything from Josh Jenkins is to be taken with a pinch of salt. Ask Adelaide supporters about him in the media. He is now out of coaching and nailing his mast to the good ship Hutchy. Click bait is now his game.
People are reading way too much into Mackie's comments
Our first pick is available if someone offers deal of the century, otherwise we will just use it
And 10 goals / goal assists to Hawkins. Though I think they may have changed it up after the Hawk kicked 6 in the first half.
Esava going up in value if this is their plan B
MoC is just a pawn on CS chess board
Big bodied athlete that runs all day and does what he is told, primarily defensive objectives
He is not a very good footballer but there would be zero chance they get rid of him
Not going to be able to clear out the players we need to and then replace...
He is no world beater but is an AFL standard key defender and will be better in a team not getting flogged week in week out. Pick 19 would be around fair value, definitely not overs. We gave up a pick slightly earlier than that for Lachie Henderson, and got good service out of him, and that is...
