Saints will rise faster than Carlton, fantastic trading so far sets them up next year in the key position draft.
Saints are already ahead of Carlton. There's a decent chance they'll be Footscray-esque.

Carlton seem poised to be, well, 21st Century Carlton-esque.

Plough:
Genuine progress in 2016
Issues class and depth through midfield
Been brilliant at trading in the past :/
No idea why Menzel and Hampton didn't play
Improved down back, Talia highlighted as well as Lever and Hartigan, really quite competent around the edges, pretty solid
Up forward club improved by nearly 400 points, Milera shows signs that he'll be very good going forward, otherwise obvious comments
Mid needs class, difficult to see enough improvement internally to get better
Need 2-3 top end mids to compete at the high end
Add Gibbs = can take another step

Have to say that is a pretty fair assessment from Plough.

There are things I disagree with slightly. I do expect a lot of improvement from within. I think both Crouch brothers will be better with another full pre-season. I also think that Gibbs will add class but I do believe that there are players from within the list that with another pre-season should be getting more games with the AFL team and should provide some of that class. The players I think can provide more depth and some class trough the midfield are Milera, Menzel, Hampton and possibly Knight.

Getting Gibbs and Rocky will enable us to win more games in September.

Otherwise a top 6 finish looms again. Unless we get more A class talent in the midfield, we will not win a flag with the our current powerful forward line.

Therein lies the 66 million dollar problem:

Unless we get more A class talent in the midfield
But Rockliff more so than Gibbs, at least in my opinion.

Sorry - isn't this also true for Hawthorn? And Sydney? And Geelong?

We've given games to Lever and Milera and Cameron and others - the only teams gifting games to underdeveloped kids are the shit sides.
CEY and others....they don't seem to be gifted too many (regular) games....in comparison to our Brownlow Veteran Brigade?

Has me tearing my hair out, and on the brink of rupturing something internally :mad:.



Thank the Football Gods.
I actually miss the epic meltdowns on Thursday night at 6pm on here and our 200 page changes thread each week probably evidence that most supporters disagreed with the selection panel.

It hurt us in the finals because some changes needed to be made an playing players who didnt have any SANFL games in 2016 or very little was viewed as a big risk.

Port are gonna fold?

Someone wants Hartlett?

Hinks has let rip with another soul-stirring-ground-shaking cliche?
If Port managed to palm off Hartless could they possible have a go at Gibbs?

I mean according to them they say they can manage to keep HH on their books and you could argue that Hartless for Gibbs would cost them the same amount of salary cap.

"They have a really good forward line, a young developing backline that probably needs some more consistency, but their midfield isn't good enough since Dangerfield left and they really need to bring in someone like Gibbs, and a bit more speed through the middle, they're well coach and gee they draft/develop players well, did you know that Rory Laird and Charlie Cameron were rookie picks?"

There. Now you don't need to listen.
And that's why you're the best in the business pjcrows

I think you've answered you own question, and I nearly posted Hartlett for Gibbs, but realised that would be pointless for them.
