That’s a win, imo we’re not beating that taking 5 to the draft.If we can turn pick 5 into Hill and Jones. thats something i could probably deal with.
interesting but need to keep in mind that full forwards and CHFs generally play 90+ % gametime.Wouldn’t mind Ryder in as it gives us greater flexibility and ability to ensure players don’t burn out during games. Could run something like this in terms of rotation allows us to keep Ruck dominance, fwd structure and well rested key players at all times.
Start:
FF: King
HFF: Membrey
R: Marshall
B: Ryder
1:
Ryder-> R
Marshall-> FF
Membery-> HFF
King -> Bench
2:
King-> HFF
Membrey -> Bench
Ryder -> FF
Marshall -> Ruck
3:
Marshall -> Bench
Ryder -> Ruck
Membrey-> HFF
King -> FF
How we are going to fit Hill, Ryder, Jones, Keath and I. Smith in our salary cap?
I guess we are trading Steven and Bruce which will clear lot of salary space.

He is never going to be a player with any hurt factor IMO , vanilla3rd year, and hasn’t really shown a lot. I think we need to get over this hope that every player we draft is gonna make it.
Hence why we should keep Bruce!Yeh I did think that, King may be the one next year who due to limited games over the past 2 years (and none at AFL) only spends 80%ish on ground so he is able to adjust and doesn’t tire towards back end of the year
They have guys like Hopper and Taranto who are like coal miners in tight. They just set up their good mids around the stoppages. Tactically that's what you imagine is common sense. Collingwood mids stood around waiting for others to get the ball for them, too many hanging back off the contest waiting for a cheapy out the back. Players like Mihocek who is usually a gun didn't get a touch before 3/4 time either. Stephenson was rubbish too.
Hopper and Taranto.
"I had a dream, where a player was judged, not on his outside run and receiving ability, but his ability to dig into a contest and extract the ball, I had a dream."
Before Satan started his trade raid, I was hoping we would make a bold play for one of these two. Just what we need for next September.

Does Ryder come as a FA?
Agree with you, but am also super excited for Matty Parker. Very good return for his 1st season!!!Steven hardly played and we finished 14th, we just got over the line in most of the matches won and got soundly beaten by quite a few including a rebuilding Sydney nearly doubling our score in the last round. Collingwood finished in the bottom 4 with much better midfields than we have even with those inclusions. We need to have all areas covered to be finals competitive not just some.
I can't see how we kick a winning score when we are one of the lowest scoring teams in the competition and we lose a guy who is a top 10 goal kicker in the league, our second highest scorer and the next best is Matty Parker on 16. We are relying on a heap of luck.
Interesting that Matty hasn't extended his contract. Could be gone after next year.Agree with you, but am also super excited for Matty Parker. Very good return for his 1st season!!!

Jury’s out for me with Parker. Exciting player but is he consistent enough? Needs to play a bit smarter too. Interested to see how he goes under a new coaching group.
This.I totally disagree with that. Grundy dominated the ruck, it was his mids that didn't work hard enough. It shows no matter how god your ruck is, guys who win the ball are gold. Richmond have Nank and Soldo doing the bulk of the ruck on their own and both are utilitarian at best. Nank is at least good around the ground and can rove his own ball.
Interested to see how he goes after multiple pre-seasons.Jury’s out for me with Parker. Exciting player but is he consistent enough? Needs to play a bit smarter too. Interested to see how he goes under a new coaching group.
I see I've been Sandra'd. I came on here to suggest that if we are to lose bruce to WB that we go after their 2020 1st.
They get to use this year's pick and next year get a top 5 academy prospect for junk coz they've already sold off their 1st.
We get an extra 1st next year so we go to the table with 2 x 2020 1sts for Bing / Whitfield etc.
Bruce, our 2020 2nd for WB 2020 1st and 2nd
Win /win
theres every chance that trade could backfire on us if dogs are top 3 and we are bottom 3
