His kicking isn't a weakness at all. I certainly wouldn't call him elite, but I'd class it above average. Tends to kick long too which is a bonus. But problem is he doesn't win a heap of the footy ATM because he's so raw. But he makes up for it in smarts.
 
I know I repeat myself a lot but we need to trade ourselves into a position to draft Ed Richards and Harrison Petty. Im leaning to the Fog at 6 just.....

heard it here first - jobe Watson to assistant coach at Collingwood next year

REALLY ????

I don't mind it , I find it extremely odd though.

Isn't Jobe always wrestling with if he had the desire passion etc etc etc for football anymore and wanted to spend extended periods or at a minimum split his time between Australia and the US of A

If he does though good on him, have always like him and since the drugs saga of which I believe he was hung out to dry a bit and I don't know if he was overly happy with Essendon about it
 
A little piece on Tyler Brown from afl.com.au. Looks pretty exciting tbh. A lot taller than Cal, but moves like his dad.

What strikes me on the highlights is how clean his touch is. Never fumbled, the ball didnt even bobble in his hands once in the entire video. Outstanding below his knees, looks to have some acceleration if not great straight line speed.

As others have stated, lots of handballs and his kicks seem to float a little, but I also can’t knock the handball options he was giving. Certainly wasn’t grabbing it and blazing away like some.

Do you know what, that was the first thing I noticed as well. Grabs the ball, wicked sidestep and distributes, no fumbling, just good clean footy.

With our 2nd pick now out to 38 I really think we could do with another pick in the 20s.

A Fas or Aish might get us one in the mid to late 20s but I’m starting to lean towards that 6 for 9 & 23 pick swap that a few have been talking up. Still get a decent kid like
Bonar/Balta at 9 (may miss on Coffield, Stephenson, Fogarty etc) and then get a Richards at 23 and Petty (or similar) at 38. Tyler Brown late pick.

Real good lateral movement

I don't mind your theory but for mine at this stage id rather Coffield or Fogarty rather then the scenario B

Are we lacking in baristas?

Personally don't want him anywhere near the club.

Pretty sure when they announced Buddha hocking the club said we had ‘finalised’ our assistant coaches.
Yeah for this year. I think Harvey and Sando’s contracts run out next year so if it is true it would be for one of those you’d think. I don’t know what other coaching job there would be for him at the club.
 
What can we do/trade to get another pick in the top 10 as well as 6?
Only logical way is to trade out next years first, GWS have pick 11 and would do the deal IMO, if we went down that route we'd wanna make bloody sure we finish closer to the top than bottom though, but it's a risk i would take.
 
That be Stupid unless you are Getting someone like Tom Lynch

Why? Nothing wrong with trading next years first for a nice pick this year and backing ourselves to rise up the ladder, say we got pick 11 this year, it would get us what we want now.

Could potentially land both Fogerty and Balta.
