[Carbine Chaos]

Clohesy and Blamires for me too.

I like Clohesy as an option on the offchance that his brother's step backwards with the Suns in 2025 is repeated in '26 and he becomes a wing option down the line. Have also read good things about his state level play.

Blamires the McCarthy-esque option of a gun VFL player with untapped AFL potential.

I'm not very interested in Schoenberg nor Smartt. I could tolerate Macrae but I'd prefer the two above.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Yeah but while Priddis ball hunted, Shuey copped the attention. Shuey bursting from clearance was our biggest weapon. He could hit a leading forward off either foot. Pridda just hack kicked forward and got burnt in transition after turnover. Just couldn't run with the other mids. He got the most out of his ability though. Patrick Cripps is in the same boat now but he can at least pinch hit in the Ruck.

More than 60% of Priddis’ career disposals were handballs. The idea that all he did was hack the ball forward with bad kicks is nonsense. He obviously had limitations but he wasn’t nearly as bad by foot as people make him out to be, and his primary role was winning the contested ball and dishing it out to the more outside runners who could then effectively hit targets in space.

Like I’m pretty sure there are posters who absolutely despised Priddis but are desperate for us to draft Sharp, which is just a complete mind-melt to me.

 

[dinnaz]

Starting to think if everyone is so keen on CDT, maybe we should just take him if everyone rates him so highly

Its almost magic beans of an player.
Big head premature baby Nik Cox vibes, (though can actually play)

What's our best comparison? David Hale mixed with Josh Fraser?

Have to say I agree with your thoughts in that order of players.
Either of the 1st two would be ideal.

 

[ThePuma #9]

**** Hawthorn. I’d love a very clear example being sent to them. They could have chased Petracca and would have probably managed to get him but instead they lured a contracted Captain from another club only to have it blow up in their faces.

Worpel leaving as well weakens their midfield so whilst they see every other top 8 team around them improve (bar Collingwood) they risk falling out of the 8 next year.

I also see it strengthening any potential trade we may have with Essendon too.

I imagine Carlton will look to package up 10 & 11 to move up the order and get a decent pick in ahead of Dean. Richmond’s pick 4 for instance.


Tigers probably take Robey with 3.

Blues you’d think would take CDT with 4 if we overlook him

Either way this creates a fear with the Bombers of missing out if they don’t get 2 and leapfrog them both.

2 + future second for 5 & 6.

If someone of quality falls to 13 take them otherwise trade the pick into next years draft.

Hale with Pace

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

The Hawks method Is disgusting since Mitchell is so arrogant and a flog , doesn’t care whose name gets dragged through the mud publicly..

 

[FootyOutlier]

I think we have to be prepared to pass on RObey at pick 2, seems like its Robey VS CDT for pick 2 right now if there was any competition for CDT.

Im not so sure id prefer 4 picks from 5-8 over picks 1+2+13 tbh

Tbh im just not that keen on Sharp either, not convinced we need him.

I definitely feel like Robey would be a player mini would want.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Allen doesn't have the pack busting ability of Curnow. But he would have been free as opposed to the significant draft capital Sydney are having to offer for Curnow. So it's hard to understand why Sydney didn't try and get involved and make him an offer as a free agent.

Because if you’ve watched him the last 2 seasons he’s no good. Been calling for the long one when he’s 80m away from the ball instead of leading and the gets frustrated it’s intercepted in front of him.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Swans turned him down because of the backlash from their AFLW players.

They have an AFLW side? Thought it was WAFLW?

 

[Tugga27]

I hope the hawks give up a heap for him but fail to win a flag.
Seems a ridiculous amount to offer for a 30yr old.

Not if he's the difference in them winning a flag.

It's not even a great deal.

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

I definitely feel like Robey would be a player mini would want.

Yeah Robey is who I'd want if we kept pick 2. Only one who seems like he might end up "worth it".

But splitting pick 2 and ending up with Sharp and Cumming is the ideal situation.

 

[Tugga27]

They don't have anywhere near enough talent to win a flag. Making a prelim can be deceptive - makes you feel like you're one step away, but you're actually two (have to win a prelim and then a GF). Cats beat them comfortably and then got beaten comfortably by Lions.

Hawks absolutely stuffed their drafting during the rebuild and don't have depth of young talent. They've topped up with mature players but have 2 seasons max before they age out. Could easily do a Bulldogs and just bounce around mid table for a decade.

Think you're really underrating the Hawks.
They don't want for much.

The bookies have them as second favourites behind Brisbane for a reason.

Can easily see them top 4 next year unfortunately.

Especially if Will Day stands up.

[Priddis Is Done]

What a stupid comment. Saying to Carlton that we swap 13 and Chesser for pick 10.
A bit like Richmond saying we will give you Young and pick 3 for pick 1

We did it. We threw away pick 3.

We get unders when a player leaves, we pay overs when players come in. We stick out to the Gold diggers a mile away.

We love being cucked, its on our mission statement.

We are a disgrace.

IIRC at the time Priddis was said to be not that quick because he had done a lot of beach running as a teenager which led to his leg muscles developing more for plod than velocity. And I think he developed knee troubles too. Whatever, it is true that most of his disposals were handballs - and I remember games where the oppo didn't pay proper attention to him and he shredded them. We was a very good footballer - only very good footballers win Brownlows. + he came from Subi.

We would kill for even a 30 year old Priddis to play midfield for us next year

 

[kranky al]

One would think that after a few years of watching us get absolutely belted in clearances and possessions that some of the anti-Priddis brigade might have reconsidered the value that he provided to the club, but apparently this is not the case.

We won a flag the year he left.

We thrashed hawthorn in a prelim with him out injured and got thrashed a coupla weeks later with him back in.

 

[kranky al]

What are you talking about?

Essendon “lost” the list of substances they administered to their players…. Perhaps it’s in their spam folder?

Yes his handballs to feet and behind the running player were legendary in their uselessness.

Plus the Dees F1st which is likely a bottom 5 pick. And Essendons FF2nd.

Its a compelling take.

Keep 1. Draft Duursma.

Split 2.


Deal done.
