That's very good. Hammer is much younger and has a higher ceiling.
I don't think he's got Battle's ceiling, but I think he can be a good AFL defender, and that's a great outcome for us.
Whilst I love the AFL player ratings it's not exactly a stat that highlights defensive backs.
I like to look at "defensive 1v1 loss rate", for Key Defenders over 9 games played this year.
Sam Taylor #1 at 11%
Wilkie #14 at 20%
Battle #19 at 22%
Caminiti #40 at 37%
Aleer #45 (out of 46), 41.2%

He is also physically bigger than Battle and can play FB
hayes

Apart from some ordinary kicks I think Tauru has been exceptional so far. Only early though. Far bigger ceiling than Battle for mine and we’ll get an extra 8 years out of him.

Just a rehash of the pervious article. Doesn’t get done we call nas on the last day of the trade period and say we are sending you to the pre season draft or you can resign with us and give them time to acquire the picks. Up to you
Then the club gets nothing for him. Why do it?
He's actually improved a lot this year. The game against North was a case in point. Larkey kicked 3 but I thought he did a very good job on him live. Larkey took some ripping marks on the lead with Hammer right there.
Another preseason and improved fitness Base and strength and I think Hammer's 1 on 1 % will improve again.
Not a key defenders arseh*le. A tall flanker he gets cheap handballs and sideways kicks in hawthorns system.
In which way/s? Out of contract player wanting to go elsewhere.
What happens if we trade up to pick 1? Does that mean we get first crack at PSD?
If so, this years first plus next years first for Eagles 1st pick?
Have that deal on standby. Tell NAS we tried to do a deal but u are worth more than what Port can offer.
Therefore, we have no choice to walk him you to PSD and take the nuclear option.
We need some leverage or we are stuffed.

Because west coast could draft him knowing in 12 months time they trade him to SA for 3 first rounders. No one is going to let this guy slip through. Generational players won’t just walk in the draft

I’m not sure if you can trade pre season draft picks
So it is based off finishing order, not what the draft order is?
I assume that is probably right.
Wondering why not? If Nas says he wants to go back to Adelaide we do not hold the trump cards. Port and/or Crows can offer A,B,C - whatever they like that makes them seem reasonable. If we say no, then what happens next? Endgame if Nas is determined to go back to Adelaide is that we will have to take what's offered or let him walk to the draft.
Doubt it. If he says he wants to go home as his reason for leaving, no way he's going to end up anywhere but Adelaide. He is the one pulling the strings. If he decides he wants to go home and makes that very clear, no-one is going to pick him and 'try and make it work'.

It’s called draft tampering. He can’t do that

I'm okay with this, Nas has to realise both Adelaide clubs have crap/no currency to make the trade this year. The more noise that gets made about how hard a prospective trade is, the better. Could help him decide it's worth another two years rather than the inevitable pain and frustration.
Didn't Luke Ball do exactly the same thing? Made it clear he'd only play for Collingwood. All the other teams were able to choose him but no-one did because everyone knew.

Yeah but no team could draft him and trade him in 12 months for 3 first rounders. Would be a dream for a rebuilding club.
Think you're not taking into consideration the wishes of the player. Can't see him nominating Adelaide as where he wants to play and then shipping off to Perth or Brisbane or anywhere else. Not going to happen.
The trifectaYep!! Doesn’t it suck!!

It’s a business. You’re not a real football club if you’re not doing what’s right for your club. Would be gold falling in their lap
