Well we are getting a half forward who is a very good kick in Campbell, and a midfielder who is too small to be a midfielder in the AFL so he will end up as a forward, so those are the kinds of midfielders Longmire really likes.My 2 key wants are a key defender and a midfielder to win the clearances. Would be stoked if we got either Darcy Moore or Brad Crouch
FFS where's the evidence that a big mid is any better than a smaller mid?Well we are getting a half forward who is a very good kick in Campbell, and a midfielder who is too small to be a midfielder in the AFL so he will end up as a forward, so those are the kinds of midfielders Longmire really likes.

That would be interesting. Certainly hits our needs and is in the right age profile that we have gaps in..... From the off-field stuff does seem a bit of a flog....Poster on the Carlton board seems to know a member of Sier's family. Says he'll be out of Collingwood at the end of the year if he doesn't get game time and preference is Sydney to be out of the spotlight.
They are consistently in our bests because that's the make-up of our team. Kennedy's had more CBAs than anyone, Rampe's always on the number one opposition forward. Everyone else plays supporting roles and then we wonder why their numbers aren't as good and their impact not as great.heres the concerns for 2021
franklin 34 geez and still best fwd
kennedy 33 but still best mid
rampe 31 still best mid and playing on the best opposition defender
naismith 29 and not yet to 50 games and sinclair 32 the main rucks
even parker is 29 late next year
some may say franklins done already but if the others fall of a cliff quick, we have massive gaps in key areas,
rampe kennedy consistently in our bests
Warner is the clearance winner. Moore will be very expensive to lure. Decent player though.My 2 key wants are a key defender and a midfielder to win the clearances. Would be stoked if we got either Darcy Moore or Brad Crouch
Yeah Im with you on this. Power forwards are pretty rare. Would like to see recycled ruck and defs although Aliir, Rampe and Brand as tall defs is solid enough. Like to see Goulden and Campbell join us while we snag another top mid in the draft if possible.I suspect in the next few years as our future 22 becomes more clear, our needs will be a ruckman (after this year we won't have a single ruck on the list who is younger than 28 and over 200cm), a key defender and a key forward.
Given the ruck doesn't need to be dominant, just competitive, and the key defender can be moulded into a great defender if our history in that department is anything to go by, they could both come cheap if we look in the right places. This could make finding a key forward the focus, and there's quite a few good young ones around the competition who in a few years we might be able to make a play for.
I don't think we'll get a pick before Campbell. Have a feeling we'll have won too many games, and Campbell will go a lot sooner than people on here think. If we did though, and took it to the draft, I like the look of Thilthorpe.Yeah Im with you on this. Power forwards are pretty rare.

That post was not enjoyable to read as it highlights some scary truths.heres the concerns for 2021

He is quite tall I hearCripps?
I don’t have the exact measurements but you name a player in the afl I think he probably just shades them.He is quite tall I hear
I wanted us to look at him as a potential replacement for Kennedy because of his size. Be interesting to see if anything comes out of this.Poster on the Carlton board seems to know a member of Sier's family.

...............and a fit Naismith & Buddy.We need a fit Daniher
