I concur with this in that when we regroup over the holiday, if we can have a low injury list and by god's will Jacob and Daw return to full fitness and stay fit for entirety of 2020, we are flag chance much like Bulldog and Richmond type ala outsider. With so many things have happen, we have only somewhat returned to playing something remotely near our best. If shaw stays as coach, he will be able to get more out of the group. If we get longmire then we are in for a good period of time as he has a proven track record of getting the most out of players.

A bit more class and poise across half back would be a welcome addition.
Macmillan, Marley and LMac - while they try hard, lack precision with their disposal and vision to set things up for midsized defenders.
I also think our KP backs lack class. Aside from Taz, and Scooter (the end is nigh though) our others are unproven. I think we could be exposed in this area - as we were at the start of the year with Taz rusty to begin with and Maj out.
I love EVW, reckon he’ll be great. But can’t stay on the park.

Carey would have marked LMac's I50s. That's how good he was.

Dunno how true it is, but this actually throws up some interesting possibilities. GWS will definitely be looking to keep their 2 x 2019 1st round picks and draft Greene from their academy.
GWS have picks 9, 16 &52 at the moment and will be blowing some serious currency for Greene from their academy who is ranked in the 3, 4, 5 range (~2000 points), which reduces to ~1600 with their 20% discount.
We currently have picks 7, 25, 43 & 67.
25, 43 & 67 = 1203 points and GWS's pick 52 adds another 246 = 1449 points.
Then we could swap 7 & 9 (= 175 point loss) which gets GWS over the line for Greene. GWS still have to sprinkle the pot so they send their 2020 2nd round pick our way.
North: Bonar, 2019 pick 9 & 2020 2nd round pick for picks 7, 25, 43 & 67
GWS: Picks 7, 16 and Greene (top 5 ranked draftee) and lose 2020 2nd round pick.
GWS get their star academy kid, and keep their 2 x 1st round picks with a slightly upgrade.
We keep our 1st round pick, pick up Bonar & a 2020 2nd round pick.
Bonar went at pick 11 in 2017, this trade sees us get him for around pick 20-22.

Would GWS looking at trading the 7 pick for an established player if Greene is as good as you say and will, therefore, attract a rival bid?
The Facebook page “AFL Insider Trade News” is wear I’m assuming it was read.
So yes, very solid intel.

I dunno.
I suspect they want to keep picks ~9 & 16 AND get their kids for points after that.
The only way that will happen is trading.

We need to temper things in the knowledge that Bonar went at pick 11 in a draft that isn't exactly bursting with fruit flavor.
He appears very much like a project type to me and they can end up busts.

My understanding is if there was an offer for Greene in that 3, 4, 5 range you are talking about then GWS has to offer up their next best pick to get him. In that case, the pick 9 would go on Greene.

Do you think he might be worth a 3rd SB? Rather than in the 20s? Hasnt been banging the door down despite having opportunities due to injuries.

D'oh! I think you're correct. I forgot all this stuff since last year.
GWS will want to offload picks.

If Goldy gets a ‘retirement’ offer thats too good to refuse by St Kilda, should we throw a 2 year offer to Sauce Jacobs who is a RFA this year?

The best ruck prospect they have had in years finally surfaces and then they go out a place a long term (relevant to age) contract for significant coin in front of a ruckman rising 32 years of age?
It makes no sense whatsoever mate.
