I checked Collingwood thread. Still some many fans believe they get pick 5 from SUNS plus Wright/pick 23 with something like pick 35 back. The trade period will be fun.
some people are crazy, even I get lost on that thread sometimes. It goes too fast. Its called the silly season for a reason hahaha.

Happy to welcome new players that want to be here and will defend them to the hilt.

But for a team to finish 15th to only get in Markov and Atkins, with all due respect, doesn't seem like it's enough. I know we're in a unique position with the youth of our list but we seem to be relying a lot on internal development. I know that will happen to some degree, but how much is always uncertain.

Must admit I was a bit flat when Cameron essentially said that was it.

Do think we need to time our run a bit.
Still a couple of years away from some of the young players reaching genuine A grade (maybe other than Rowell who is a freak).
At the moment it is OK if there are just flashes of high end from the 21 and unders, but to push into finals in a meaningful way we would need a few of them to be consistent enough to be in the AA squad of 40 and close to AA level. If we can get 3 or 4 into the AA squad in a few years we would be in the hunt.

I like the 26 and under mention, since that player would still be in their peak in 3 or 4 years when we would hope to be a top 4 contender.
That is another one of the problems with Treloar, in 4 years would expect him to be cooked and not in the best 22.

In 2 years time we could bring in an A grader of any age and it would be fine (like Higgins and Smith to the Cats). In NBA parlance, a 'ring-chaser' who wants to play finals. They can be 30 and only have a year or 2 left and it would be good.

Geelong bringing in Smith and soon to be Higgins.

GC should attack Jordan Clark who along with Charlie Constance ends further down the midfield list

they owe us one for giving them pick 11 last year so we could pick up Sharp.

kids a jet.

The dashing half-back will accept a two-year deal at the Suns and is expected to be one of the first trades completed when the window opens on Wednesday.
