Yes please and thanks

Email the club and Brady

Only thing I’d change is that Perez is kept on senior list for another year at least
Yeah potentially. Ideally we'd keep Shiels too, but who knows.

Even if we achieved all that, I think we'd still be a KPF and a KPD short of something resembling a healthy list.

We'll probably start by nursing ourselves back from the brink of death. Healthy might take a bit longer.

People remember where they were during the moon landing, Princess Diana and hearing the news of Brady trading our ******* 2nd rounder for CCJ. What a unit.
I remember where I was on that Friday afternoon when Brady made the trade. Couldn't believe it had happened. Will never forget that moment.

I like a lot of this but I think we really need Ralphsmith and/or Fisher types to unlock Thomas and Sheezel. Fundamentally I think defence is by far our worst staffed section of the field now, and it would be remiss of us to not find a skerrick of draft capital for good experienced running defenders this off season.
Funny you mention Skerrick not many on here would know how great he has been for the Swans this year,

What about where they were when the Cuban missile crisis was on and JFK was assassinated?
 
One last 2024 best 22 naval gazer from me for a little bit.

We really need to find a way to inject at least 3 new defenders into our best 22. Ideally 4.

In terms of servicing immediate needs and creating competition for spots across the ground, I would distribute our draft capital along the following lines:

Pick 2 - Curtin
Pick 3 - Watson
NGA - Sanders

Pick 16 - Riccardi (with GWS 3rd rounder coming back)

R3 - Fisher
R3 - Stephens
R3 - Grundy
F3 - Graham / Melican / Smith
R4 - Clark

9 players added.

Round 1:

Clark - Graham/Melican/Smith - Curtin
Fisher
- Corr - Sheezel
Scott - Wardlaw - Stephens
Zurhaar - Riccardi - Simpkin
Watson - Larkey - Curtis

Grundy - LDU - Thomas

Goater - Comben - Phillips - Powell

Depth: McDonald, Sanders, Ford, Stephenson, CCJ, George, Archer, Bergman, Drury, Goldie, Tucker, Xerri

Delistings: McKay, Edwards (r), Hall, Bonar, Dawson (r), Cunnington, Ziebell, Turner (r), Free (r), Mahony, Shiels (r), Young, Spicer, Howe (r), Perez.

15 players delisted, 9 from main list. Could (re)rookie a couple of these.
Which Clark is that?

Spoke to him in the Premiership Room on Saturday, asked him about playing on for another year and he said "Whatever the club wants me to do"
 
Yes and in one of those games he played for five minutes, had one possession and then broke his leg. IE Those stats are misleading and lower his averages significantly (ie by 2 or 3 possessions a game) because of that injury.

The stats I quoted didn't include that game.
Those stats of Comden I posted if a tall player hoping to be recruited in this years draft had those stats would you draft him ?
 
Can't believe I'm saying this but... I'd rather McDonald on a HBF than Clark.

Clark should cash out now, his valuation on NM BF is currently in Dutch Tulip territory.
Nah last year was Dutch tulip territory.
This year I've got him down for a fourth rounder.
I'd still rather see him play round 1 at HBF than McDonald though.

Unfortunately we can’t rely on Comben , he is too fragile. We need more quality in the front half, dare I say it Mav, more robust or vigorous forwards lol

If you made a best 22 out of who played in the North vs Saints game a few weeks ago, Hunter Clark was nowhere near it.

In fact he would have been closer to the worst 5 players on the field.

We really don't need him.

How often has Luke McDonald been in the best 22 players of any particular match North has played this year?

I don't think we need Hunter but I do think we need a hard-nut with a bit of experience who can play in a medium defender role, and probably one who can be traded in for a third rounder or cheaper, because there needs to be more competition for spots in our defensive 6 in 2024, starting round 1.

There's a reason, actually no, probably several reasons why most people on the Saints board can't wait to get rid of him.

No thanks.
 
Clark would at worst be our 10th-best player for next year between the ages of 24 and 34, and that's only if you rate him behind Tucker and McDonald.

We have a severe deficit of senior bodies who can compete for an entire game and Clark has enough talent and versatility to be worth the punt for a cheap price.

Mate there are more than half a dozen players on our senior list who aren't AFL standard.
Hunter Clark, on the other hand, is an AFL standard footballer.
Does he have a whole bunch of things he needs to improve on? Sure!
But he is a low-cost option for raising the bottom threshold of our list and he can play in a position of need for us.
Its not like anyone is suggesting we pay a first or second rounder.

He's just another list clogger. I'd rather use that pick on a project ruck or forward
 
For me, I'd like to get Clark in our club. He has a lot of talent, but injuries stopped his momentum. He may have checked out at the Saints if they asked him to sign and he hasn't. Brady did say we'll get him this year and I think he will be with his mate LDU. Big upgrade on some players we have in the team. The Saints wanted a 2nd rounder last year but now we get him cheap.

I thought stkilda were after a first round pick for him last year that’s why we didn’t get him.
