Time to let go Dave. Concentrate on the draft and then watch some cricket for gods sake.

Just another possibility,
Maybe Young has told Hawthorn his intention to leave, but because he is still on good terms with the club, agreed to let Hawthorn try and trade him to us so Haw get something in return.
As soon as Ess, Coll hear this they come out and say 'not interested anymore' . A game of bluff being played out by all sides?

His long kicking may earn him a reprieve. He actually was not too bad early in the season.
Like the look of Williams. Certainly hope he goes past Buckley.

Interesting position now on Simon Buckley.
I'm watching all the replays at the moment and Buckley wasn't horrible this year. He was reliable on most occassions and his kicking is 95% of the time very good. He just makes awful blunders the other 5%, and occassionally just has games where everything he touches goes bad.
Then you have Marley Williams who is a real goer...however his kicking skills are quite ordinary. He kicks them too high and they never spin right. Yet, he doesn't seem to make as many glaring errors. Wouldn't back him to take kick-ins though. I'd prefer Buckley did this.
It's just a shame because Buckley is the perfect size, shape and has terrific skills. He just can't seem to get it right. I would persist with him one more year.

Fair enough. I know the dealers at Crown have a shift that starts at 4am. I guess you get to finish at midday and enjoy the afternoon. Particularly in summer.

How anyone can simultaneously condemn Tom Young and glorify Yagmoor is beyond me.

Yagmoor is 19 for christ sake. People condemning him after 1 season in the VFL need to relax.
Young has proven he is a Spud. Played numerous times this year and showed plenty of treadmil running and weak gutless efforts.

We are still interested in Young and we may not do anything else.

If we traded for #45, and we're not trading away any picks any more, we'll likely use 5 selections in the draft.
Ergo, Simon Buckley is going to have to make way... surely.

Not too worried, would have liked Young but it's not a major dent to our plans for next season.

Young will come for free if he decides to, that is the benefit. This and that we may get more of this

I thought we were pretty deficient this year for players of Youngs type. I think Seedsman will likely be best 22 next season and perhaps a better player than Young but that probably won't go all the way to addressing it. Ideally I think both of them would be in our best 22 ahead of our bottom 4 players like Blaire, Sinclaire, Elliot, Goldsack (for balance), even Didak (this depends a lot on balance imo). Actually, I'll probably get slammed for this but unless a minor miracle occurs Young would probably be more value for us next year than Didak. Either way, our kicking and spread this year was horrible. I'm not sure how related it was to gameplan or just personnel but getting in Young addresses a noted deficiency for the cost of nothing (or cap space) and at the very least will improve our bottom 6 of the first 22.
