Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
He is not perfect but he is better than some of the posters on BF
I’m certainly a lot more interested in Gibcus if we view him as a forward. Much prefer the agile, high leaping guys like Jack than the lumbering high picks of recent years.And he is 195+ and very athletic so another Balta even.
I was waiting for that.Sounds daft after making the Collingwood trade
at poker?
Just saw this. So we are really after Hobbs. Sounds good. Apologies if already posted.

How about the mids that won the 2018 premiership ?The best mids in the grand final teams were drafted in the top7.
" Mids are easier to go find" but top level not so much
Forward or back, he could release Balta if he was a better back. We really haven't seen Balta forward. Good problem to have.I’m certainly a lot more interested in Gibcus if we view him as a forward. Much prefer the agile, high leaping guys like Jack than the lumbering high picks of recent years.
I was waiting for that.
If we're bloody lucky i might addYou're probably not looking at a Dusty-level mid at that pick (unless you're very lucky).
I'd say if we're choosing between Hobbs and Gibcus its a bit like choosing between Prestia and Grimes. That sort of level.
Yeah I really want us to take Hobbs now (if available and I think he will be) - more so after looking at Twomeys Phantom draft - I'd hate to see him slide to the Dons - he is just the player they need! So, my decision is based purely on spite and hatred of the dons rather than whats best for the tiges
I really like Johnson but only doubt i have on him is his inside ball winning ability at the top level but everything else is greatIf we get Johnson, whilst I'll be mildly disappointed given the WA go-home risk, he does look good and his size is a massive boon. Might be a great get who can play in 2022.
Do we trade to get another one of these 4?The way im seeing this is at pick #9 we are getting a mid that is not a top 5 level mid that has not been considered top tier
But Gibcus has been seen as the best defender in the group pretty much all year and Ht 196cm, Wt 87kg it wont take long for him to be ready
great athlete and has speed , agility and leap.
Our recruiters have also shown they have an eye for later talent and with another 4 picks im positive they will find some nice mids with our later picks
My wish list for pick #7 with the super 6 already taken
1.Gibcus
2.Johnson
3.Ward
4.Hobbs
Dont think we wouldDo we trade to get another one of these 4?
How is he compared to RCD?I really like Johnson but only doubt i have on him is his inside ball winning ability at the top level but everything else is great
Height agility kicking stamina speed , kid has all the tools
We could always...move Balta forwardIs that right?.
Plenty of top level mids are gettable with late first round picks.
Whens our last good FF?
Goals win games. Jacks almost done, Lunch isn't gunna have a long career, already slowing down. Ryan isn't the answer in my opinion
Nothing else coming through
Oh man you went thereWe could always...move Balta forward

Yep. My dog died a couple of days ago and I'm a little drunk and just shooting from the hip. #devilmaycareOh man you went there![]()
We could always...move Balta forward
**** off steak boy!I thought we all agreed a compromise and he’d play on the wing

Must have been reading our phantom which died at 30 tooWhen he's relying on the Big Footy gang for all his information he can only go so far.
A little more? There's no comparison.How is he compared to RCD?
They seem like similar types, just that Johnson has a little more runs on the board compared to RCD at the same point?
T'was the night before the Draft and YeOldSanta is a little maudlin, maybe having a Guiness (the old fella liked the froth from the end of the glass he did)...so I'm throwing caution to the wind and getting agresssive at the draft table:I thought we all agreed on a compromise and he’d play on the wing
sorry about your pooch mate. Have had Dogs all my life and it totally sucks when they move on. They really are part of the family
