We need to do everything in our favour to land Rowell. ****ing perfect player for us.

I would sacrifice our rights to McGuane, Saxena and McCarthy to land the glorious ranga.

No way we should Sacrafice 2 Top 20 Picks when we don't have a Ton of Kids coming Thru

Ned Long can play that Role and do a Good Job. Not at Rowell's Level but I would not Sacrifice that for 1 Player

Try and Find Another Inside Bull from another club on the Cheap

Yeah I agree mate. If Tommy Maguane turns out a superstar we’d never forgive ourselves
 
Would anyone offer up the rights to a Josh Daicos first born son for Rowell?

He is a Very Good Mark around the Ground and has taken some big Marks up forward as well.

Smit is the one that has some Worry. Been Average in the Ruck this season and looks lost around the Ground at VFL Level
Smit is 19 FFS!

He also lost a whole year of development tbf. I'd have some patience.
I’m struggling to remember any ruckman that was anywhere near ready at 21-22. Gawn, English, Grundy, Xerri etc, etc all really took 4 years plus to be consistent performers. The old fellas are way too cunning at the craft
 
Steene is 21 FFS

Well he still has looked lot better then Smit in 2025

I am not the 1st Person on here to say Smit could leave at seasons end

He got dominated by a 19 year old Lachlan Smith 2 weeks ago though

For sure. Most rucks, especially ones that were drafted or put on a list as skinny 19 year olds take time. Unable to play last year didn't help, but he's a but stronger now and is starting to have some influence in games.
Another 12-18 months with more time bulking up will help. Get him to 23-24.

I don’t watch enough VFL to be able to counter this bit hopefully he makes the step up. He looked really promising from that I saw early on. A promising apprentice to DC is something we really need in the works
I agree with this, I think Smit deserves more time, I am not sold on Steene and think he will need to show big improvement over the next few months to stay. I think we need another one with real promise. Maybe the NGA guy will be that
 
He was terrific last game.
He's had a few good games recently. Getting more of the ball, clearances. If he kicked those two goals last week, it would have been a perfect game.
 
Ed Richards must be devastated that we turned him down.
 
some players just seem to prefer to play at grounds like Ballarat over the MCG, not Bailey Smith though, he prefers to play on a cows paddock
