There's almost no body of evidence to support this view.

His limited success at the stoppage kicked in as a replacement for Cerra.

We hope, but need to be realistic about his impact being late season when games slow down.

While he finally improved his field kicking, his injury history is not great, and I question his value in defensive read and transition despite putting the kilometres in.

Hopefully the club have identified how to help with that in terms of training loads and squad and role rotation in the tougher runs of games that now crop up in the fixture.
Agree on Lord and Evans, still a wait and see for now despite promising signs.

Cottrell however was one of our best players in our 2023 finals series. You don't star in big games like that and not be 'AFL quality'.

Wonder if Billy Dowling from Adelaide will look for more opportunities, or if he’s content as the Crow’s >24th player.

What will become of Thomson Dow (waiting to see from RFC)?

I haven’t seen much of either of them, but both would be coming to us as midfield depth. Not sure why Dowling would want to leave the minor premiers to become depth for us. Not sure why we would want a player who is depth for a bottom 2 side to come to us. Not to mention the thought of us having a Dow back on the list…

Dowling has kicked goals and can play up forward. Spot where EH used to be (?).

We are looking for better depth as well..plug & play when/if needed.
TD seems to be very inconsistent, not sure if on output or opportunity (or poor disposal).

He started this year really well too and was one of our few players who could lace out a leading forward - really missed

That lowering of the eyes 15-20 metre kick going inside 50 is something we don't have nearly enough of but he has added it into his game brilliantly.

And he is so tireless.
 
McGovern has been on our list for 7 years? Wow!

It's like that famous saying goes.... Time flies when you're playing inconsistent, often injured football...
I recentgly came across some footage from that game in 2019 against Brisbane when we came back from way back to win it

A lot of familiar names were mentioned eg Brackets, Crippa, Curnow etc

Its been a long time with the core of that list...
 
Thoughts on something like:
Curnow to Sydney
Warner to West Coast
Pick 1 and Silvagni compo to Port
Butters to Blues

With some pick swaps added in.

I wasn't happy with his start at all and his kicking was horrible, another player who was given too much latitude in terms of securing a senior appearance when resuming from injury.

I cant see how PA wont match any bid for Butters next year to force a trade

I reckon PA think they can keep him, and if not, will match any offer for him to force the trade

The offer form us this year would need to be more compelling that Pick 1 and an end of Fisrt round - maintain that Butters will be a 3 first round offer, or at least two with a good player maybe a second coming back

In that instance, we would need to throw in a Cerra type

Blake acres says hello. One of our most clutch players yes had a bad year but seems everyone wants him gone, when we are already struggling for "depth"

Conflicting information regarding ison some people don't have him in there top 40 then you hear reports he could be a early 2nd rounder, don't think we are going to have a problem with Gresham he looks like a late 3rd rounder
Gresham is rookie material. Doubt he gets selected in the national draft.

In the same way we need to get way overpaid for Curnow, Port need to be way overpaid for Butters.

I just don't see Port accepting anything less than a quality player and two first rounders

Butters not going anywhere this season, new coach / new head of football trading out their best player??? As has been said elsewhere, groundwork for free agency is all we can hope for atm.
