10 was my guess at where Fog was drafted.

It was pick 12.

If we don’t get Thilthorpe, Pedlar, Rachele into the midfield … then that would be a massive over spend on the front half. Agreed.

I’m hopeful that’s the plan … Dawson / Pedlar / Rachele / Crouch / Laird with the likes of Soligo / Taylor / Jones / Cook / Nankervis / maybe Haywood adding to the rotations.

Thilthorpe and ROB in the ruck.

Lots of ifs and buts to be answered in the off-season.

If we end up with Keays, Sloane and Smith as a regular part of the midfield for 2024 … I’ll be disheartened!

I think Keays days of being a full-time mid are well and truly done for. He's found his niche role up forward which he's proved he can be very successful at, while giving us some in-game depth as a mid in the event we had some injuries. Smith didn't get pushed to the wing until Jones went down too, so I would hope Jones gets that spot back once he's healthy.

Remember when Hately was considered a big get and proof that Adelaide were a destination club again.
Yup, but cost us nothing apart from a list spot. Was worth a shot.
It was a change in philosophy from the club though, identifying targets and actually getting them. Has borne fruit in subsequent years
 
I think you are forgetting that giving Brisbane another year to convince him to stay isn't a good idea, nor is assuming the draft pick will turn out into a star. In the real world you've gotta give some to get some and I fear you are trying to have it all a la some sim management game.

I’m not assuming anything re how the draft pick turns out. So FA is now a sim management game? Clubs don’t wait till FA to acquire players free of draft capital now? I guess I missed the bit where players are routinely traded for 1 year from being on the FA market. You’re not a teenager are you?

He was paid a fair bit of coin to come across though. Nice to get that off our books. Bit of a waste of time really.

Hately is the type of player that I wouldn't be surprised see go to a SANFL club and win a Magarey medal. But still not get picked up again
Yep, we'll gladly have him back at Centrals. Will prob end up captain at some point.
