This year's is very very average, next year's draft looks incredible
Pretty sure people say this almost every single year about the next years draft hahaha
 
He possibility could but his endurance would hold him back from it ever being more than short stints there.

It’s why I think chappys the almost perfect option there for us.

Has great endurance. Tall/very good mark, naturally attacking instincts/very good short kick yet also great defensively so is perfect to be able to get back and help out the defence as well

Plus with those traits he could be trusted a lot more than sharp say for example ,who we seemed to bypass entirely in alot of games for us ,to actually run a lot more of our offence through him and is also a shitoad more harder than Jeremy too
Don't forget that Chapman is very quick (scored in the top 20m sprint) and is a good kick at goal. Would love to move him to a wing which would open up his defence spot to Draper or Walker.
 
Good pick up re:McVee.

I implore you all to watch his performance against Adelaide this year in round 17. Was elite that day on Rankine and a performance that you’ll hopefully get from him for the next 10 years.
Is this a joke? Rankine kicked 5 goals and got 10 coaches votes that day.

Fletcher is zero chance of coming here.

Zero.
Yep.

Genuine A grade talent that would cost an absolute bounty to bring him in.

And why would he leave a premiership side in which he is clearly best 22 in?
 
We need to get creative with some of our players so we can cram more talent into the team. Walker to the forwardline as a pressure forward is a great shout. He played there in his juniors. If a small forward is getting off the chain we can swing him down back.

We should also consider moving Chapman to the wing. He is quick, dual sided, takes the game on and can kick a goal. If it pays off we could bring in Draper or Simpson to take his spot in defence.

There’s a lot of flexibility with the squad. It depends on the coaches to pull the trigger and try a few things
 
We did actually.

Clark wasn’t even playing regular AFL footy games when we went after him.

He was just a depth player at Geelong and we’re out here coughing up 2nd rounders and shit for him, was laughable really
Disagree. Everyone knew he was good just that Scarlo didn’t like him. You could see from the few games he played for Geelong what we were getting.

Doesn’t matter what that dickhead Matthew Scarlett thought of him.

Clark played 3 games in 2020 and 11 in 2021. He wasn’t best 22 and was just depth for them.

That should never be pick 22 territory or whatever the hell we paid for him.
 
What are 'they' saying about this year's draft?
That it’s garbage.

But they always say next years draft is WAY better then the current one.

No one ever actually knows how well each draft is until many many years later.

Watch the futures game?
I’m sure they were great.

And I’ll be saying the same thing about next years futures game and the one after that and the next one after that and so on and so forth.

Yeah its always a super draft next year... or this draft is super strong but next year is weak.
 
to be fair, I've been spot on with trade value since Luke Jackson. It won't be your 2nd, under no circumstances. It'll be your pick 11. and that's still a bargain.

Pick 11 will be used on Humphries. McVee will be involved in a 3-way deal that includes Wade 'Derka Derka Mohammed Jihad' Derksen. I really rate him by the way, really explodes out of packs.

Jaspa Fletcher is only a shade below Wil Ashcroft in talent. I’d agree, except the dad is Brisbane through and through, the post GF interview sort of implied he regretted leaving Brisbane before the three peat. I got the feeling he regrets joining us, so imagine the sway he would have over the son.
From memory I don’t think he had much choice in the matter. We gave up a very early draft pick for him and Brisbane were happy to show him the door for it.
