Freo getting robbed they need a R2 or R3 back to them there.carlton make out like bandits..port also getting robbed. Geelong bit is ok fair. Pick 27 needs to go from carlton to port in this scenario.

That's actually not half bad (for us specifically). I don't mind losing Clark if it means we get a half decent ruck/forward in Ladhams

Ladhams is ok but I'd prefer to just use Stanley until one of our younger rucks is ready. Use the trade to secure a decent pick.

 

[Poetic Justice]

I'll take that

Honestly not fussed either way. It'd be better than Pick 27 alone, in any case - but hopefully we can either get multiple picks, or a higher pick from Freo for Clark (which would be the best result)

I don't need excitement.

I need a slight list refresh that pulls the age profile down and fills some holes. Brander has enough senior action to be considered a good get at a low price. So does Ladhams ... although rumours of being a bit of a party goer may not necessarily be something we would be keen on (being moved on and given an opportunity may be a good thing though).

If they don't cost us much then worth a punt.

The excitement can come from some shrewd moves to get up the draft order and bring in some potentially exciting talent that way.

I disagree. I think that if you aren’t in the window and you don’t yet have the nucleus of your next flag side, you’re trying to swing at A-grade talent whenever you can.

By that I mean, say, Chapman and Ling level talent, but hoping for an Ablett or a Selwood.

What I learned watching the GF.

The 6-6-6 setup required at every centre bounce can be exploited.
The value of a dominant Ruckman + Inside mid just went through the roof.
We don't need to recruit and entire team but we must recruit or develop a Top Ruckman

Good delivery to an average forward is better value that high ball to a great forward.
Recruit players with excellent kicking skills

 

[MacStradbroke]

I'm thinking Scarlett got along best with Scarlett and bad luck to anyone that wasn't Scarlett

As much as some may not want to believe it or admit it, sounds like the best move so far this off season is Scarlett stepping down - no doubt a great player, but maybe not a great people person

Sav won’t see much AFL action if Ladhams comes in.

This confirmed to me that the Bogan from Batesford is a DILL.

Who's half decent?? Ladhams?? just a younger version of Fort with the heart of a pea IMO. Rather have Max Lynch for Krueger to be honest.
Even swapping Clark for Paddy Dow to get the Cerra deal done sounds better

You had me right up until….Paddy Dow.

Clearly haven't watched him play that much, lol. Actually has a lot of good attributes - decent mark, athletic, good size, decent leap, decent forward craft, half-decent disposal for a ruck etc. I'd probably rather Max Lynch, Jordon Sweet or definitely Matt Flynn, if I had the option (give the likely cost differential), but Ladhams is not an awful player by any stretch, and is an upgrade on anything we have right now IMO

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Has been ruined by a team that resembles a rabble to a T.
Played outta position. Played with a bunch of spuds... Desiree Pontiac Chat Brushed etc etc...
Behind the 8 ball from the day he walked into the joint.
Instant up grade to our midfield IMO.

 

[calder_daddy]

If you look at Melb - the premiers - they have got some interesting coaches

Allen Richardson is their Gen/Manager of football - i heard him say - this is the 8th AFL club hes been at - talk about been around the block a few times

Troy Chaplin ( who i thought was a spud - didnt the Tiger supporters call him Charlie Chaplin because of all the jittery blunders he would make ) - he is their backline coach

Another ex Tiger spud - Greg Stafford is their forward line coach

But here is the big one - and i have posted this a couple of times - this bloke should have 10 stars next to his name/resume - Adam Yze is their MIDFIELD coach - and this is his 1st year back - Well the proof is in the pudding - i know they have got sensational talent their - but their midfield is sensational - how they play - the quick movement - great handpassing the lot . Prior to the Dees - he was at Haw during their golden era - as their elite kicking backline coach - that is another huge tick on his resume

When Yze played - he was a good mover - and a lovely kick

If as you say - Scott doesnt coach next coach - then id love to have Yze as Geel coach - simply because he has got the runs on the board

Fun fact, I played Cricket with Adem in his first every sporting premiership.
Great guy and was going to see we should bring him across to be an assistant with him taking over from CS.

Hopefully he just comes this year as our FT head coach

Oh stop it, Paddy Dow is not an upgrade on anyone’s midfield and especially not on ours. Ridiculous comment.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Hanson would be a different voice and I’m sure he’s being some different ideas coming from coaching with Beveridge.

They might not be ready for 3-4 years and im not sure Stanley has one good year left in him let alone 4.

LOL... C'mon man...
If Q. Narkle can get a GIG in our midfield then P.Dow is a walk up start.
If T. Atkins S. Higgins & O'Conner get a go in our midfield then P.Dow is an automatic selection.
Get on board... GiddyUp!!

Yes. Why would you want to start it off from your backline from a turnover and march it up the field to a congested and stagnant forward line when you can win it out of the middle and have a clear advantage because every defender is reactionary and one out at that very moment. It means that average players like Brown and McDonald end up having better outputs than elite players like Cameron and Hawkins. It means that elite intercept defenders such as May and Lever cannot support each other and end up looking like plodders. End of story.

Sometimes, football is as simple as this. If you want to win, the most exploitable moment is that centre bounce. Sure, after that, if you miss, or it becomes a stoppage, have tactics and plans to keep the ball in your half and to take repeat shots.

I’ve been pro saV all year but if ladahms comes in I have no issue with trading fort to brissy and SaV playing four quarters of ruck with the bankers and coming in once every month or so to give stanley, Cameron or Hawkins games off each for the year and stanley 4-5

Promote development and healthy list even at a cost to perfect home and away form

9 games in the afl as ruck forward and the rest as full time ruckman in bankers would be good year for Esava

Ladhams (autocorrect wanted “Lasagne”) would want to go somewhere where he is clear first banana. Won’t be here having just signed Rhys for two.

I would take Zac Fisher

Rhys can play as the 3rd tall forward and backup ruckman. Trade Ratagolea.

I agree unless we go out and get a top 5 ruckman who ever we put out going to have an average time, Stanley was good this year without being great and sadly had his worst game in the loss to melb
