Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Three on ball, one on wing, one half forward, one on the bench and all of them rotating. 83% game time for everyone. Happy days.
We saw this year that Nobes and co are big on getting our mids able to play other positions. Simpkin spoke about playing on the wing in his Syd Barker speech, we saw Powell play on the wing at times, JHF looked outstanding when we played on the wing during the SANFL finals. Thomas is as outstanding a forward prospect as he is a mid, JHF has shown forward capability, LDU was played forward a bit this year, Stepho can play both forward and wing, with a little bit in the middle.The elephant in the room is, we are likely going to lose at least one of our young talented mids in the next few years.
Simpkin, LDU, Phillips, Powell, Thomas, JHF
Two followers, one in the middle, two wingmen and I am not sure any in that group have the traits to be an elite wingman. Who wants to be the depth player?
Probably a good problem to have, but, a problem nonetheless.
Adelaide already walked hately to the PSD, sure sounds like Sydney and them are a ways off consensus on Dawson too. I know we have pick 1, but unless we can convince Dawson to come to Melbourne rather than go home to Adelaide, i doubt we pick him against his will.How? It's likely we would only give up a pick around 38-40 after you consider the draft points index.
Pretty sure Dawson will cost more...

We are turning into a suburb of Adelaide anyhow
Powell
CCJ
Dumont
Spicer
Polec
Didn't we just trade our future 2nd to Richmond?
Just add up the points before you slit your throat - leaving aside Taz, for whom we couldn’t get anything, we got CCJ for the equinox pick 38, which is what we said we wouldDon’t remind me but we got 42 and 47 back and we traded 40 to them we smashed it.

I don't think it's a big issue and, as much as I don't like this particular facet of it, I also think it's why we're comfortable not resigning a player like Frog. We want to open up opportunities for as many of our young mids as possible.

And what if We didn’t trade Taz for anything, because there was no compo on offer? Were you on the comms from the AFL about what the Taz compo was going to be?If we disregard the 40 for 42 swap.
We traded Tarrant for 47. Something for nothing is good I guess, especially if that is closer to 40 on draft night.
But assuming we move up say 4/5 spots next year being somewhat realistic, we've effectively traded pick 24 for CCJ and a future fourth (say a pick in the 60's, bordering on irrelevant). How can anyone say that isn't massive overs considering the leverage we had.
Terrible depth thenThe elephant in the room is, we are likely going to lose at least one of our young talented mids in the next few years.

So - if the core trade was Tarrant and 40 for CCZ plus the future 3rd
You have to wonder why we gave up a future 2nd for 42&47 this year? There is something cooking???
let’s see
So far Tarryn and JHF have shown they are capable of playing in the forward 50 (though at different levels). Yes, a good problem to have.
And what if We didn’t trade Taz for anything, because there was no compo on offer? Were you on the comms from the AFL about what the Taz compo was going to be?
It looks like we are in the Pole Position to pick up Nathaniel ****lingham as our first pick in the PSD. Well done Rawling. :stern lookWould like to see us hold Xerri to his contract and delist Campbell now
find a trade for Polec
grab someone in the PSD
You would imagine sowonder if the crows will try again but without the 2nd rounder coming back (not that we even have one to give now anyway)

You know what truly makes me laugh? Those clowns who are having a laugh at the supposed "Melts". What "Melts" yah dicks? The general consensus is that the deal is poor and people are rightly upset by it. It is sh*t! :stern look
The thing is, you deluded types see no wrong with your holier than thou, I think I'm always right attitude. In fact if you were offered a crank from Brady Rawling dressed as Edward Scissorhands, you would think it a great idea. :stern look
If truth be told, you don't know what the fu** is good and what isn't :stern look
