Thanks mate! some clown at work told me this evening i can upload mass videos and edit titles! hahahahahaha so now they are all up but last 30! so enjoy the staggered content in the morning mateCarlton loves Pommy!!!
Busslinger can play third tall, medium defender, key defender, and CHF IMO. He's super talented, you take him regardless of our defensive situation.Unless Hayes or Busslinger are absolutely best available… Not sure I’d want to use a pick 10 on a KPD that’s not really an area of need…
We can’t play 3x KPDs, Weitering and Young are our main KPDs for the next 7+ years, IMO we only need another depth KPD…
Use pick 10 on the best available mid or forward, where we need class…

End of next year, I doubt we have Newman, Plowman, or Durdin. Year after that, Williams, Saad, and Docherty will be 30.

What do you make of Forty3's rumour in regards to moving up or trading out Arrow? My two bobs worth is above but as you'd know I'd be a happy man with Hollands and Cowan. Not as big on Humphrey as others but won't deny if we got his kicking right he's a complete freak talentStill believe Hotton is a strong contender for our 1st pick
We don't know how things are going to go with Docherty and Williams given their histories. Saad is one who I am wondering how he will perform once his pace starts to drop off.So about 3 perhaps even 4 seasons left in them.

Mmm I wouldn't have thought Port would look past Philippou if he's there at their pick. Definitely an interesting one to think about. Haven't really got any indications from the club on what we're looking at eitherActually not a fan of any of those 3 with where they are likely to go
Trading up, could only think it would be with Port, 8 + a future 2nd for 10 & 28. The 2nd rounder they get for Amon, will be used on Rioli, so they may want an extra 2nd this year
Trading out will be harder to determine, unless Lions want more points. Our 1st for 33 + a future 1st. Still gives us 2 2nd rounders, but 2 1sts next year
Wouldn’t imagine Port would do that deal and wouldn’t imagine we’d do the Brisbane deal…Actually not a fan of any of those 3 with where they are likely to go

Could work with Geelong if they are to pick up Bowes and 7 as the rumours suspect. 7+36 for 10+28. Gives them currency for trading in Bruhn with 28 and a stab at a young KPP like Jefferson at 10.Wouldn’t imagine Port would do that deal and wouldn’t imagine we’d do the Brisbane deal…
Same hereStill believe Hotton is a strong contender for our 1st pick
If I remember correctly - the one knock on Sammy Walsh in his draft year was his kicking. His highlights showed a lot of balls falling short of the target. But at afl level I would say his kicking is quite good and his other attributes that he showed at juniors are what makes him so good.I am not completely sold on Hollands kicking skills, not sure pick 10 is where he should be rated.
Not sure why Geelong would do that deal after all the cap they’d spend to get pick 7 & 25…Could work with Geelong if they are to pick up Bowes and 7 as the rumours suspect. 7+36 for 10+28. Gives them currency for trading in Bruhn with 28 and a stab at a young KPP like Jefferson at 10.
We take 7, 36, Jones compo and 64 to the draft.
No current season stats available
Going by 43's rumour, that seems unlikely too, nor do I think it is equitable for GWSNot sure why Geelong would do that deal after all the cap they’d spend to get pick 7 & 25…
Pick 10 & 28 for pick 7 more likely, then we have gone away from our list management goals…
More likely we could trade back, say Richmond pick 12 & 19 for pick 10 & 28 & Dow, if GWS want a top 10 pick…
Agreed.IMO if Busslinger is still on the board at our pick we simply must take him.
If not the it gets interesting.
Any VFL watchers out there?
Thoughts on Ethan Phillips from Port Melb as a mature-age defender?
23yo, 197cm, intercept marking machine. Avgd almost 20 touches and 10 marks a match this year. Just won the VFL best young player award.
I have only seen highlights, but looks to do his best work loose and intercepting. Not sure about speed on lead and one-on-one. Maybe needs a couple of pre-seasons in the gym?
Looks like he could provide cheap cover for Weiters and Young and in case Marchbank's body does not hold up.
In general, I think mature-age defenders on rookie/min wages is one of the best value plays out there.
