How did his face become 25% more punchable just by wearing a Lions jumper?

Blonde's shouldn't try a moustache unless they can grow it nice and bushy. Otherwise it's just asking for a punch.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Not trading 2 for 5 + 20 when there’s a small chance a Williams bid comes before 20 anyway. Keep an eye out for Carlton post Curnow trade looking to move up with Sydney’s first and the TDK compo pick.

Surely no chance Williams goes top 20.

 

[Elite Pete]

Had good VFL numbers. I thought we might’ve used a rookie spot for him.

Surely no chance Williams goes top 20.

There is a lot of interest in him, no doubt, but for me - 20-30 more likely.

 

[BartBart]

Becomes 20 to 16 upgrade after bids.

Points value pick 44.

22 & 23 go out a bit too, 33 will be pretty similar as some pick disappear with bid payment & pick 52 will likely be a bit better on draft night.

Haha, but no animosity here..all's fair in love and footy!

[Obeanie1]

There are 35 players with contracts for 2026 and beyond with one of those (Liam Ryan) seeking a trade out

Of that 35, it appears only 3 will be on the rookie list - Brock, McCarthy and Newton. Dewar needs to be upgraded whilst Maric and Hutchinson (per eaglevision who’s mail is usually correct) have already been

Overall that means 7 main, 5 rookie and 2 Cat B spots via contract extension (Cripps, Champion, Livingstone), trade, draft or post draft as a DFA/SSP

Main List:
• Starcevich
• Young
• Picks 1,2 and 13 as they stand
• Match bids on Banfield and Williams

Rookie List:
• Cripps (delist and redraft as a Rookie)
• Robertson

Cat B List:
• Champion (contract extended)
• Evans (if he gets through main draft without a bid) or Walley (if Evans doesn’t get through)

Gives us 3 rookie spots to fill - 4 if Cripps makes a surprise retirement decision with the following options:

• Move another player (Barnett) to the rookie list to open a main list spot so we can match an Evans bid if necessary
• Move Champion to the Cat A list to recontract Livingstone or list Walley as well as Evans
• Choice between the likes of Macrae, Schoenberg, Swallow, Berry etc or an untried state league player(s) like Murdoch, Blamires (if he goes undrafted which might be unlikely) etc

My preference-
• Cripps to retire
• Move Barnett to rookie list so we can secure Evans and add Walley as a Cat B (or recontract Livingstone)
• Add 3 mature aged players- 2 delisted AFL players and 1 untried state league player

Great work Keys.

What I take from that is we definately need to transfer one if not two players off the main list.

If we dont we basically take ourselves out of the draft after our 3rd 1st rounder, currently 12.

Then keep a min of two list spot open with picks just in case Evans or Banfield get bids.

That is not very flexible and we basically miss out on accessing half the draft. Feel crook imagining it. So the club needs to pull some lever's there for sure.

So we need to move two blokes onto the rookie list. And hope we end up with two picks to land Rodreguez around 35ish and Curtin late.

That does reduce the number of mature types we can bring in down to 1?

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Hopefully pick 33 is kept for cover. He's a level above Malakai in terms of his speed over the deck and hurt factor up the ground.

Tyler this year appeared to stay focussed much better that Malakai or Wes.

Maybe it was the Metro game but when the squeeze was on, Williams and Cody went up a notch.

 

[Jootube]

Current Draft Order. Bolded picks are picks that are probably available given where bids will land.
Gold Coast: 6, 7, 14, 17, 35, 51, 69, 73

Assuming that Uwland and Patterson are bid on by the Bombers, the Suns will require MINIMUM 3000 points to match (post-discount).

This will swallow up picks 6, 14, & 17.
Pick 7 will likely be used for the Petracca trade.

I don't think the Suns can trade away any of their top 4 selections without going into serious points deficit, or doing some magic with a F1 trade.

Happy to hear a different opinion.

[Sammy J]

Would love to see us move 12 and change to get that GC pick so we can clearly identify 3 players in that top 10 to bring into the club.

Duursma seems a given. If the recruiting team believe CDT is the next best, come on down. He seems to have good athletic traits and plenty of versatility. We will also be able to grab a mid with that GC pick if we nab it too, which would be one of Sharp/Cumming/Robey/Grlj.

Those hating on Duursma need to remember that Troy, Adam and Scott Selwood

were all solid citizens as footballers without being world beaters. But then there was Joel.

If it's best for Duursma to start as a HBF, the back 6 should be interesting next season:

Cole/Edwards/Ginbey
Hough/Young/Duursma

With Starcevich and McCarthy in the middle and rotating back too. I'm probably forgetting someone there, but on paper it looks pretty solid, with Sandy Brock as KPD depth (who looked OK this season).

 

[Mop]

Rookie list should be scrapped - it’s an irrelevance now and has been for some time

I’d much rather a veterans list come back and have some merit for old players being rewarded for continuous service.

 

[Hasselhough]

Going to be some very confused defenders on our list at preseason when they see how starcevich defends.

“Why are you standing so close to him?”

Duggan would be stoked .

Finally they bring someone in who can cover his own man and duggans

Bombers wont bid after they get fiorini for a f3 and don't ruin their draiper compo

 

[kranky al]

Not sure we even want Woke Williams after his frankly galling hard left wing decision to whore himself out for other teams at the combine rather than spending the weekend selling discount Campbell Chesser jerseys at the club superstore., except sundays when we pretend we are Christians.

What other acts of abject self interest will we see next? Will he draw a salary from George Soros rather than doing the right thing by the team that raised him from a wee lad and playing for free?

But its a moot point if he gets taken in the woke top 40 because then we couldn’t stop the steal by the super, duper, hyper, uber, extreme left.

You just need to give them more points than going out.

12 + 14 + 17 = 3,043. Covers the Richmond bids Suns hold other picks.

Suns 6 = 1,690 points

Eagles 12 + 33 = 1,522 points

Eagles trade 12 and 33 for 6. Dont bid on the Suns kids.

Still won’t believe it til I see it from Rhino.
