What about our first next year for Brisbanes pick 14?Not a fan. I think we’ll make the 8 next year, but it’s no certainty. We could be trading away a top 10 pick. Our hand is good enough this year to not need to trade next years picks into this years imo
Pretty sure Brisbane will be looking to get out of the first round next year rather than further into itWhat about our first next year for Brisbanes pick 14?

I’m not sure what next years draft pool looks like, but pick 14 is what you get for finishing 5th. I know all draft years aren’t comparable, but you’d need to be confident we’re having a top 6 finish next season to trade out of our pick imoWhat about our first next year for Brisbanes pick 14?

that’s because he’s only played 4 games this year, hidden gem… I’d be all over him and Taylor with our 2nd round picks.
And??? Did someone have a definitive answer?
GC can automatically take any academy kid. NGA outside top 20. GWS?
No, I meant it was a jokeBoooooooooooooo
I like the thought of keeping our first rounder for next yearWhat about our first next year for Brisbanes pick 14?

I think we lack a genuine mid sized forward though. Someone with some tricks and a strong marking threat in the air. That way you keep the oppos mid sized intercept defenders like Stewart, Sicily etc accountable. If you don't have that third marking threat, Jack and/or Lynch get double or even triple teamed. Caddy used to play that role but he couldn't really tackle and chase under our system. Would be good of we could get a 188-191cm mid who can also be a threat forward in the air and around goal.Don’t think our system really works with a 3 tall set up, we only did it last year because of injury’s to Soldo and Nank and CCJ and Chol tended to rotate better forward than back like Soldo and Nank tend to do more so
In the previous years we only played with 2 talls so I don’t think it’s that big of an issue and actually better giving more space and leading lanes for Jack and Lynch to operate in
Why should we let it go. I think his talents are wasted down back. Alex Rance was the best defender in the last 20 years, hoping that Balta will turn into the next Rance is very optimistic. So half Balta's time will be spent locking down a forward, with a bit of luck he will win his share of contests like Astbury or even Harris Andrews at best. Besides Rance name another attackiing weapon from the backline playing. I can think of none.
At CHF considered the most important position of the ground he has the full scope to use his assets creatively. Poswerful runner, very good in the air, great at ground level and can kick goals from 60 metres. There is a bit of Richo about him. He turns games when he plays ruck and can do things no other ruckman can do. He is a potential weapon that is learning the game, so backline has been good for him. Who knows what he can become.
Stack to me would be wasted up forward because he has the potential to be anything. Midfielder gun in waiting. If he is not fit enough just yet, then ease him into it, which may mean resting forward or playing the swingman like against the Hawks.
I think we need a forward that operates around the 50m to wing, the release kick it long play. Jack used to do it but that is not his game anymore. A mobile forward not like CCJ or Chol. Balta (or even Miller) for me he is not a liability when then the ball hits the ground.Don’t think our system really works with a 3 tall set up, we only did it last year because of injury’s to Soldo and Nank and CCJ and Chol tended to rotate better forward than back like Soldo and Nank tend to do more so

Stack could play anywhere, lets not take that too literally. I think you well know what I mean. Mid, back, small forward.Let it go cause he has played forward at times and has been very average. Its the same talk of Dave when he was playing famously wearing the number 12 people on here wanted him to move forward and it just didnt happen.
I highlighted two sentances were you clearly contradict yourself. CHF is the most important part of the field and needs creativity and on the other hand you say Stack can play "anywhere" which would require "creativity". So by that logic Stack if he can play anywhere well then by your standards the best place he could play is CHF....
Maybe we plan on developing Parker into that role (similar to how he played at the Saints compared to that high half forward/ mid we used him as last yearI think we lack a genuine mid sized forward though. Someone with some tricks and a strong marking threat in the air. That way you keep the oppos mid sized intercept defenders like Stewart, Sicily etc accountable. If you don't have that third marking threat, Jack and/or Lynch get double or even triple teamed. Caddy used to play that role but he couldn't really tackle and chase under our system.

Just Spit balling, we trade pick 7 and our future first to GWS for Pick 2 to get Callaghan. Then trade pick 15 for Brisbane's future firstPretty sure Brisbane will be looking to get out of the first round next year rather than further into it
Would be a dream to re draft Lids right nowI think we lack a genuine mid sized forward though. Someone with some tricks and a strong marking threat in the air.

Correct. No chance they trade another F1 in.Pretty sure Brisbane will be looking to get out of the first round next year rather than further into it
I like it. But I'm happy with #7 and #15 too.Just Spit balling, we trade pick 7 and our future first to GWS for Pick 2 to get Callaghan. Then trade pick 15 for Brisbane's future first
2021: Callaghan, 26,27,28
2022: Bris 1st. North 2nd, our 2nd
I think our best chance of upgrading to pick two involves getting our hands on Brisbane’s first pick next year but I don’t really know how we swing it. Ideally they only want points for next year but I’m right it thinking at least one of the picks being traded has to be for this years draft before the puck swap can be approved?Correct. No chance they trade another F1 in.
Yes I took Dusty out of the equation mainly for those two reasons, he's not a distinct overhead marking threat and I assume he will be hungry for midfield time this year. It would be driving him nuts seeing us getting smacked out of the middle and around the ball.Would be a dream to re draft Lids right now
Imagine him in this team now as an 18 year old prodigy playing that 3rd forward target role
He’d kick 40+
We also have Dusty who is more then handy as that mid sized target but get he’s not that marking threat. Plus I get the feeling he’ll be playing more time on ball next year with the way that midfields dominated us this year with him sitting forward
Maybe we plan on developing Parker into that role (similar to how he played at the Saints compared to that high half forward/ mid we used him as last year
Or even RCD resting forward when not in the guts
