[Miguel Sanchez]

Robertson finished top four in the VFL B&F.

We didn’t have anyone get more than six votes in the Sandover.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

IF we pick up Dev, a 1 year contract. Make him earn future years and avoid him being a list clogger if he can't step up to regular AFL football.

 

[Big_Birdy]

30+, which he did six times this year and seven times last year.

In the VFL though. A really ordinary league.

Clay did that 4 times in 6 games this year in the WAFL too as it turns out.

I'm going to let you in on a secret. If your team wins games you get more votes in the end of season awards.

Lions finished 6th out of 21 teams with 11 wins, 6 losses, 1 draw.
Eagles finished last with 2 wins, 16 losses. Of course they didn't poll B&F votes.

 

[Yippy Yi Yeo]

Reinforces what a lot have been saying here for a while now.

1. Duursma.
2. Sharp.

No need to overthink it.

CDT also now talked up for being a forward, ruck downplayed. We definitely don't need.

Agreed, need to forget about splitting these picks and just throw everything at trading up to Gold coast's port pick. Hawks pick, promising not to bid on Uwland or Patterson and hopefully landing something decent from the AFL we can use as well should be more than enough, then hopefully use that pick on Cummings or Robey.

Duursma, Sharp, Robey/Cummings, our NGA's would be a very good draft

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

We could offer butler 2.5million over 4 years with front loaded 800k year 1 and 700k year 2 .

Really stick it up the hawks and make them pay overs to keep him or better yet get butler .

Yes, this is the way. Currently we are dreadful so nobody is coming here on a discount. Just pay overs like St Kilda are doing to get a bunch of the players they'll be acquiring. Who else do we have to spend the money on, all of the other super-talented players on our list?

Yep, or we don't trade up and end up with

Duursma, Sharp, Fred R, Curtin, out NGA's. Would also be good.

I’d target Hustwaite, Clohesy and Stevens before Dev.

Stevens would be the main one to go after

 

[RanaNaved]

Yep, or we don't trade up and end up with

Duursma, Sharp, Fred R, Curtin, out NGA's. Would also be good.

Eww

 

[rebel23]

Dev would be our best midfielder...

(Defensive)

 

[Boohemian]

Robertson walks into our side, and makes it better. It's a no-brainer, we just have a number of posters here with their knickers in knot that he turned down coming to a historically poor team to stick with the reigning premiers.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Allen played only 12 matches and played poorly in a lot of them, Chesser played 4 senior matches, and while Ryan played 20 matches I wouldn't say he was particularly close to his previous best. Plus one would hope for natural improvement given that we had just about one of the youngest and most inexperienced sides in the comp.

We replace Chesser and Ryan atleast wirh assets that will contribute zero in 2026.

The potential is higher but the ability to win games now is much worse off

 

[WCErevival]

Robertson only 4th.

Partington and Brayshaw won their state league awards.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I'm going to let you in on a secret. If your team wins games you get more votes in the end of season awards.

Also teams that kick more goals than their opposition tend to win more games, and people that are tall tend to hit their head on more stuff.

Yes, I know players in good teams get more votes, but this is one player in a slightly better than average team that finished top four in his comp.

 

[Knifey Spoony]

I really don't want to split this year unless we get a deal so outrageous the other teams list manager gets sacked.

In the middle of a rebuild, Clay Hall won our best emerging talent award (no disrespectto Clay). We have heaps of young players, we need some top end talent, and while this may not be the best draft, we have the picks.

Trade up for a third top 10 pick if we can, some NGAs and call it a good day.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Robertson only 4th.

Partington and Brayshaw won their state league awards.

Its the VFL. WAFL sanfl not as strong. Also he missed about 6 games due to injury and being sun for AFL side.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

We replace Chesser and Ryan atleast wirh assets that will contribute zero in 2026.

The potential is higher but the ability to win games now is much worse off

I don't know how much worse off the ability to win games can get considering that we won 1 game all of last year.

You know he works for the Dons now right?

 

[Altum Volantes]

I happened to be reading about this yesterday, Tas Cricket reckon their problems aren’t unsolvable and they won’t hold up the process: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...support-macquarie-point-afl-stadium/105774588

State Cricket are never supportive of stadiums they don't own and control.

They will always have complaints but ultimately, they know if they want to lock in Tests in their state - they'll get on board and they don't REALLY need to worry about the shadow on the pitch issue - the BBL is the money spinner for Tassie cricket and the majority of games are played under lights - playing it under a roof will only broaden the appeal (and lessen the games lost to Tassie's crap weather.)

 

[Altum Volantes]

Guarantee you that Melbourne, North, Carlton and probably bloody St Kilda also have a pinged at Devin Robertson. He won't be short of options. Yes, still.

He has that 'good club' rub to him that kept Quentin Narkle bouncing around the comp as long as it did.

 

[FKASC]

You know he works for the Dons now right?

Hopefully his love of talls works in our favour

 

[Keys]

Brisbane have used 36 players this year in their 25 games so far which was =10th fewest (we used 39) but had a very settled side

• 9 players played every game
• 4 players missed only 1 game
• 2 players missed 2 games
• 1 player missed 3 games and
• 1 player missed 4 games

In total 17 players collectively missed just 15 games between them

The rest of the squad were fighting for 6 positions each week
• Fort played 19 games
• Answerth played 17 games
• Gardiner and Lohmann played 16 games
• Payne and Day played 13 games
• Starcevich and McInerney played 12 games

Of those 8 players, Day is probably the only non best 23 player

There wasn’t a lot of opportunity for players outside best 23 to get a game which goes some way to explaining why Robertson only got 4 games. He was stuck behind a talented and healthy list - something he probably should’ve realised would happen 2 years ago

He’s still relatively young (24) but has a mature body after 6 years on an AFL list and knows what it’s like to be part of a successful program. Depending on who else we trade in he’d be the 14th oldest player on our list

Would be in our best 22 (admittedly only just) and would come for virtually free. There are players I’d probably target first but he remains a solid fallback option if the likes of Butler don’t eventuate

 

[amazingjoshy]

But if we actually get Dev this year what the hell will we talk about next year

 

[Proeagle]

The latest on trades from Cal Twomey (1hr ago)

 

[bradee]

I think people are undervaluing Dev a bit. He’s in Brisbanes best 23-28 players (ignoring injuries).

Do we really believe he wouldn’t be in our best 23?

Yes
