[Macka1203]

knowing us we will draft a big bodied mid who we will play forward and in the twos, a lanky key prospect nowhere near afl and send the rest of the picks to someone for a has been key forward to play for casey

like clockwork

 

[danster168]

Well, at least our second first-rounder is slightly more favourable now

isn't our first rounder also better? because we didn't come 4th anymore. we came 5th.

That was the point I was making haha

oh sorry I skim read

So we have pick 14 now.

Such a devastating loss tonight. We just botched it. no idea how we fix the forward line issues.

Up to #13 if GWS beats Port, too.

And yeah, I'm at a bit of a loss as well. Going to be a very important offseason

Marbior Chol to us is worth like 1.5 mill right now.Thats how bad our forward line is.

We could go Caddy as he would play next season but he may not be best available.

 

[Dancing Potato]

Ooh boy, it's delisting time!

Chol isn't a bad option, but I'm hearing from their forward coach, that he's the biggest waste of talent. Doesn't put in, uninterested. Believable considering blokes who are getting a game ahead of him. There's a reason why there's not a lot of interest in him. Buyer beware!

 

[GIRO]

Dimma multiple premiership coach now wants to get rid of chol TWICE, because he’s lazy, doesn’t work defensively etc etc and lots of people on here want him nfi ?
We should have gotten T walker
Tmac is shot horrible footballer hopefully not to be seen again.

 

[Bluelegs]

Ooh boy, it's delisting time!

OUT: 4 blokes who never played a game.
KEEP: Tmac and Brown

 

[Bluelegs]

Genuinely been looking forward to the draft/trade period for a while more than our season so it's nice we'll actually be able to focus on it.

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Complete list of MFC players who show composure with the ball in hand more than 50% of the time under finals pressure:

ANB
Spargo
McVee
Bowey
Rivers
Hunter

That’s the problem right there. 4 role players one of our wingers and one promising half back the only ones who can be relied on to at least try and think their way through a pressure situation.

Poorly coached and incredibly unbalanced list.

EDIT: Left Hunter off initially, probably our most deft at pulling the ball back to a target.

Reckon Rivers puts into orbit with the best of them.

Reckon Rivers puts into orbit with the best of them.

Yeah at times. He’s probably barely over the 50% threshold.

Id say Steven may more than held is own as a finals performer. But I take your point, ANB McVee and Spargo have more composure than Salem, Oliver and Petracca

Yeah May was best on for us easily. My point was more specifically about which of our players regularly tried to hit targets and pull it off.

May is the least worst of our older players in that regard but I still think he’s lost a lot of dare in his kicking. Goodwin mindset sucks them all into the vortex eventually.

 

[space_cowboy]

Yeah. Back to the good old days, when the draft was the one thing that gave us hope.

Yep. One of my mates grew up with Brad Miller. Gets info all the time on the Suns. He says Chol just doesn't put in the work required. Talented dude, but not prepared to go all in to unlock that talent. Is it worth trying? Maybe. But it comes with a risk. Pretty confident that's why teams aren't lining up for him atm.

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Ooh boy, it's delisting time!

Bet our conversion to opportunity rate is as abysmal as our goalkicking

 

[danster168]

I said a year ago that we needed 5-6 key forwards and I'm doubling down. We need them so desperately. Unfortunately, they'll take time to develop. We may need to get another pick in the top 10 to take Nate Caddy to atleast shut the angry fans up because the best available at pick 5 is probably not Caddy.

 

[Blackas87]

With Grundy moving on and creating cap space I think we should be looking at Ben McKay

but with May getting older and retirement not too far off having a ready made key defender on the list will help keep the backline in a strong position.

Can draft a key defender with our 2nd first rounder or a second round pick, but can’t expect someone so young to step up so early in their career.

We should, but when do we ever chase FAs? I can only think of Shannon Byrnes.

I can't believe you've forgotten about Ben Newton already!
