Weekend Wrap and "Liked, Learned, Hated" right here -- How did tipping go?
If Broadbent isn't moved, then he needs to get away from the half back flank. We absolutely do not need him there anymore.
trade O'Shea to Brisbane for pick 56?

but Hammer's potential goes through the roof, whereas Broady is realistic performing to his peak. I know we need to make the tough calls, but Broady goes before Hammer imoI'd rather keep Broadbent over Hartlett. We'll get more for hammer and I think broadly is more consistent
He's had labels of potential for years and not lived up to it, trade him on that potential while we still canbut Hammer's potential goes through the roof, whereas Broady is realistic performing to his peak. I know we need to make the tough calls, but Broady goes before Hammer imo
Not disagreeing but why? Not going to clear much cap space. 3rd round picks not hugely aspirational. Not easy to convince Brisbane there is value in it. Not easy to convince O'shea there's value in it either I'd have thought.trade O'Shea to Brisbane for pick 56?
Brisbane are short in running HBFs and he certainly isnt the worst option, but not the best and will cost littleNot disagreeing but why?

true, but id give him one more year and force him to play midfield/half forward.He's had labels of potential for years and not lived up to it, trade him on that potential while we still can

I'm still unsure how Broady turned into Toby Thurstans in the eyes of board posters here.

Personally, I don't think his output is anywhere near good enough, or consistent enough, for his ability. Hell, Mike Sheehan even put him in his Top 50 for 2014 (#30, ahead of Riewoldt, Beams, Dusty, Goddard and Sauce), but like too many others, has merely treaded water since.
Is also yet another Albertonian HBF'er, which has to have replaced the Prospectwegian wingman as the most superfluous and redundant role in footy. Just how many flatter-to-deceivers do we need back there? Broadbent. Hammer. Dimitri. Krakouer. O'Shea.
At least DBJ and Pittard can be relied upon to step up and put in a two-way shift in a given week. And then there's Bonner. And Impey, who gradually seems to be getting there, albeit not in the role for which he was drafted.
If a first rounder or a genuine midfielder on commensurate salary is passed across the table we should absolutely consider it.

And yet his average disposal count, tackle count and scoring are all up this year compared to 2014. In a team which has struggled all year. He gets massive criticism to the point where people think he would have limited trade value but I would rather the reality of Matthew Broadbent than the illusion of a second or third round pick (which some people have spoken of).
Yes a first round pick would be worth attention but overall Broadbent has been better than many people have considered this year and the wolf pack mentality seems to have consumed him to some extent.
I would rate his output to date above any of those players you've grouped him with. We have an overabundance of HBFers. We can get rid of some of those without dumping the quality players.
Good discussion tribey . Fair play.
This has crossed my mind before re our home strip, especially when we play at night. The players are sometimes hard to pick up live at the game.

Because it means O'Shea's not on our list anymore.
The old one eyed blinkers for rating players goes both ways. As good as sometimes you think your own players are , you sometimes think some of your lesser ones are bad when there are far far far worse out there. And I would say there are many many many teams out there with far worse depth than Oshea on their list. If you think discarding Oshea , as a player who should be in the 18-28 range on our list and replacing him with the last guy picked in the draft will be an upgrade on that region of our list ie 18-28 I would say buy a lotto ticket because you believe in miracles. it ain't gonna happen. Unless we are just cutting people for the sake of change , but then I would say far too little too late and the wrong people too. Ild move Oshea for broomhead , or a pick under 50 that may give us at least some chance to add a future player , or keep him.
I would go as far to say handballing is the most underrated, overlooked skill in modern, congested
