Another nice game from Harry today, 4 more to the tally and outright second in the Coleman. Making a lot of people look foolish for writing him off.

WCE would be almost rock bottom for teams that are a realistic destination for Merrett. Their players have publicly taken pay cuts across the board to keep the group together due to salary cap / COVID implications. Would be impossible to sell to players or realistic fans that they have to tip...

He is one of those ones who is worth jack s**t on the market. St. Kilda and their fans would value him because they've seen brilliance in glimpses and paid a huge price at the draft, most other clubs would probably baulk at giving up a decent second rounder. Can't see him leaving.

Unfortunately for you I watch a fair bit of footy and know this to not really be the case. Yes he has spent some time across half-back , but every Freo game I can remember watching, especially from last year, Cerra was playing almost always as a wing or outside mid. Certainly most of the time...

You may be right about Kelly, but other people having short memories doesn't really affect my ratings and the whole premise I was responding to was "if the draft was done again today". You will not be able to convince me that Kelly doesn't go top 3 and I stand by what else I've said too, which...

Re. Naughton and Balta, KPPs are way harder to find and are hence far more valuable. They would both be ahead of Cerra, with the knowledge recruiters now have I'd suspect. They are very bankable at this point as very good KPPs moving forward. Re. Kelly, we are not talking about what does...

In reality, it is usually supporters of the club who over-rate what their players are worth. I rate him, but it's highly debatable Cerra would be a top 3 selections if the draft was held again, I'd say unlikely. Naughton and Kelly 100% go ahead of him. Brayshaw and Balta more than likely do as...

In reality, McKay has not really had 3 more years to do that. For one, he was the youngest player is his draft, so is more like 2 years older than King than 3. If he was born a couple of weeks later, he would have gone into the next years draft. HM also missed most of his first 2 seasons with...

Keep sticking your head in the sand and ignoring points that go against whatever it is you're trying to achieve here. It's pretty clear to me you're not worth having a conversation with as you just want to ram your opinion and refuse to look at anything to the contrary. It's not hard to...

It's not an excuse, it is reality. Why are you pretending that I haven't compared the 22 year old seasons of 3 of the best KPFs in the game today where McKay stacks up really well against? Again, it just doesn't seem like you watch much footy and I know you don't like it because it doesn't suit...

Dixon and Hawkins are the incumbent KPFs for AA and Lynch is of a similar size and drafted one position later than McKay in his year. They are the pre-eminent forwards of the competition in my mind, which is why they were used. Your excuses as to why they aren't good comparisons are pathetic...

If you're not trolling, I have no idea what to say... Utter drivel. McKay vs. Hawkins at 22 yo McKay vs. Lynch at 22 yo McKay vs. Dixon at 22 yo Yeah, let's chuck him out :rolleyes:

- Goes missing in NZ for almost a whole day on a training camp. - Kicked out of AFL and WA Academy pathways. - Misses an u/18 champs game for being in a fight, losing a tooth whilst being pissed on his birthday. - Loses drivers license for drink driving. - Overlooked in two drafts, despite...

They really wouldn't. Richmond fans like to act like they drafted this talent in the SSP every other club just miraculously overlooked, but it is nowhere near the case. Bloke was easily a first round pick in his draft year but nobody wanted to touch him because he was clearly a dickhead who had...

Yeah, that was just never going to happen. I reckon Laird is a good player and one the Crows would likely want to hang onto. He is essentially the type of player Carlton are hoping Williams can be for us, albeit at maybe a touch higher level than RL. I see Laird as a very tidy utility who can...

You can take the posts out of context and go along with a pretend narrative all you like, it's not working...

What's not weird is the usual disingenuous and crap posting from you. Direct quote from me talking about Kennedy and others " ... whilst certainly couldn't be considered big names, also had suitors". Try again. Said poster was trying to claim that Aliir Aliir was a big name recruit. Barely...

And I am referencing how it applies to Merrett, in the very post you just quoted I show how it is relevant to this thread. You said my contention that the Adelaide clubs are not able to attract big name, non-SA born players wasn't true, you are unable to back that up with anything at all...

If Aliir Aliir constitutes a 'big name', than the bar is pretty low. Aliir is far from a big signing. So it's true that from both Adelaide clubs, you can count the number of big signings ever on one hand then? Because you said it wasn't true, but it appears that it is. Now you've changed to "we...

Who are the supposed 4 big names Port has been able to attract in the past 6 seasons? Jack Watts? LOL. Melbourne could not get him off their books quick enough, it was a salary dump essentially and in no world was he a big name. Again, both Adelaide sides combined have been able to attract...

What a shock that you've been unable to back up your 'rebuttal' and predictably brought Carlton into this as a strawman. As I said, you can count on one hand the amount of big name, non SA players both Adelaide clubs has been able to attract ever. The fact appears to be, AFL players in general...

Who might they be then? Please don't even bother suggesting players like Jack Watts, Richard Tambling, Stephen Motlop (SA ties anyway) et al. are 'big names' like last time I had this discussion. I can really only think of Wayne Carey (circumstances, but still) Paddy Ryder and Charlie Dixon...

Zero, was just speculation from one person that he would be a good fit. I got flamed in another thread by some Port and Crows posters some time ago, but the facts are the Adelaide clubs really struggle to attract big recruits. Can count on one hand the amount of non-SA, big names either side...

A very interesting 'watch this space'. Feel like him having this option was a get out in case GWS fell off a cliff. On field results might play a big part in this, although he does seem to enjoy life in Sydney and is being paid really well. IF he was to leave, you'd think it would be a Vic club...

- If a trade is done in 2021, considering their contract statii, I'd think Essendon would need to add a 2nd rounder to the deal. Pick 25ish. Merrett could be gotten for free (theoretically) and Dunkley has a year remaining on his contract. - If we ignore contracts and the clubs they are both...

Your post infers it (as I said) by even mentioning things like "still be willing to give a mid first-round" and being in a better position to get the deal done in 2021 and "it all depends on where we finish, what happens to Merrett and what type of year Dunkley has." None of that really matters...

Why are you seemingly pretending that Essendon hold all of the cards? Dunkley still has a contract for another year after this one. Regardless of what kind of year he has, a mid-first round pick is clearly not getting it done for a contracted JD, end of story. Its been said as nauseum, you...

Collingwood supporters: "We must be doing these deals in order to pay 95% of the cap this year, we are targeting a big play at a FA for 2022 and beyond!!" "It's only a million dollars we are paying for one of our prime movers to play at another club, a Collingwood simp reported it, not bad...

How anyone is still trying to spin this saga in anyway favourable or in a positive light for Collingwood in beyond me. It was clear then and even more so now, that they have outright butchered their TPP structure and list with shitty decision after another and have acted very unethically over...

Wonder what the likelihood of Henry Walsh not being taken in the ND is... would be a dream result really to get him in the RD. Predictions have him going anywhere from 30s - very late.
