[Blue and Silver]

Sizzling kick from Makunda?

Sizzling kick from Makunda?

Vic County vs Vic Metro

 

[bradfisher14]

This crop is nowhere near the level of last year.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Ison cruises through the middle and putsit to the forward'd advantage. Who juggles

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

This crop is nowhere near the level of last year.

No where near next year either.

A lot of regulation 15-30 prospects who will be in calculations for the top 10 this year.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Harry Dean is going first round

No where near next year either.

A lot of regulation 15-30 prospects who will be in calculations for the top 10 this year.

Says a lot about this crop that Duursma is considered a top 2 lock. I don't see him becoming a star at the next level at all.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Please just somehow get Josh Lindsay! Would set us up so well for the future as a quarterback for us.

 

[Vincent Chase]

Ison looks like a great kick. Hit a couple of tough 40m passes.

Ison looks like a great kick. Hit a couple of tough 40m passes.

He struggles a bit short range but when he can kick through the ball he hits it nicely.

Dean and Ison's kicking positives

 

[Cringle]

Says a lot about this crop that Duursma is considered a top 2 lock. I don't see him becoming a star at the next level at all.

He has a little of Bontempelli by the way he moves.

But likely he’ll turn out like his average brothers.

 

[bradfisher14]

Lindsay is the guy. Don't care if we have to trade up.

What are you giving to be able to trade up?

 

[bradfisher14]

What are you giving to be able to trade up?

Let's say for the sake of argument we trade with Essendon to get him. That's a two spot jump. I'd do a second rounder for that which will probably get eaten up by Dean anyway. Similar to what Essendon/Geelong did in 2023 for Caddy.

We are only looking at trading up a few places, may be able to do something with Essendon & Gold Coast or Hawthorn, trading & swapping future picks is available.

We’re going to need an extra 2nd rounder to match Dean, can’t be going down one

But what?
A 27 2nd?

Fine, an F2 then. Stop raining on my parade with your "reality" gimmick

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Can we get Byrne with a later pick

 

[Flaggers22]

After watching the champs I've come to the following conclusions:

• Harry Dean is a top 10 talent (I'm hoping for the usual F/S slide).
• Josh Lindsay is the best player in the open pool that fills a list need. I have him in my top 5 overall.
• Cody has cemented himself as one of the top 2 prospects for next years draft.
• Ison is the only NGA product that belongs on the list.

If I were Austin, I'd be packaging the TDK compo pick (likely around pick 9 to 11, after matched bids and FA compensation) and the 2026 1st for Lindsay + change for draft points.

 

[Juice030103]

This crop is nowhere near the level of last year.

Jagga would be named pick 1 in this draft before 10 seconds into it

 

[macky99]

But what?
A 27 2nd?

lt is quite possible we do something similar to last year letting Kennedy & Owies go, think there are number of players on our list we may do the same to continue to bring in young talent.

Have heard a weird swap of key forwards with Gold Coast.

Involving Royalty on both sides.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Would imagine thats why we're hearing names like Acres mentioned as trait bait.

If we have a few moves we want to make as well as picking up Dean and Ison we're going to need more draft capital.
