I like Barras alot but he is much the same on what we already have. I have no issues drafting him but he isn't a number 1 key defender. He is a number 2 like Collins. Best suited to intercepting and coming off his man to help. We really need a lockdown number 1 defender (Rory) going forward to make the most of Collins and Ballards strengths

Clubs seem to be moving away from shutdown defenders, you need to have skills outside of just being able to negate someone. Look at the best defenders, Darcy Moore, McGovern they all have other strings to their bow. I don't think you can rely on a player just to be a good negator anymore. Just like these days in Soccer, goal keepers need to be good with their feet. Defenders need to be able to peel off and take marks instead of just spoiling.

There is no reason you can't be a good negating defender AND a good intercepting defender.
Players may be earmarked to certain roles but think skills can be translatable.

I still want to keep Brodie but IF he is going to be moved I think a key defender would be a trade target.

DGB is not just a shutdown defender. Is very good on rebound. Thats why hes spoken of so highly. Very pacy too.

Make another run at some Adelaide players? Would love us to have a crack at Rory Atkins.

Didn't know he was a rebounding HB? Lol
Let alone the fact he can't play a season. We can't rely on Rory.
James Brayshaw IQ = 4
I'm wondering if Rory comes back do we move Collo up to CHB
Obviously not a big issue for our glorious selectors but surely we need a 3rd tall defender- presumably they think Luko is that

Article in GC bulletin that one of your leading draft hopefuls can't play in the academy series due to a technicality. Behind paywall , does anyone know who it is
Governor
Senior List
One article mentions Josh Fahey who is a former Giants academy prospect but has since moved to the GC and no longer able to be an academy selectional although is eligible to play for the allies

Ballard is 3rd tall all over
Why take players from a team on the bottom of the ladder? We want good players

It was a joke.
He's playing 2nd tall at the moment though.
I reckon there's still a place for Rory-just -as the one of the 3 talls
Luko can at least temporarily take the Hanley role

Ballard would be even better as third tall. Mainly intercepting and coming off his man. Things he is good at. Luko as a pure rebounder would be brilliant

We need a Harbrow replacement at the end of this year though. I can see Harbrow falling off a cliff next year as he looks to have lost a turn of pace this year.

It's like not wanting to think about your dog dying
Was so hoping he could play a final for us but he might be a season shy I agree
Zac Williams would be nice....

I'm not too concerned that he doesn't have a few years left. I think once he is back he will be alright. But he allows Collins to do what he does best, ballard the 3rd tall, allows sharp, lukocius, budarick, ellis, anderson to play really offensively
