Especially for project players like rucks or big defenders.
Agree.
But, the thing we can’t really know is how the $$ stacks up. We must (surely?!) have plenty of cap space, but I could understand a decision to spend it on a. Extending current players and/or b. Recruiting good established players.
Maybe the money saved on not taking a msd pick makes sense in some kind of where-do-you-spend-it analysis?
When did he buy that farm with McHenry? About that time wasn’t it.
Happy life, happy defender.

Still amusing we have found 2 key defenders as rookies, but missed with our #6 pick...
Murray has been the biggest improver of 2023... not only reliable defensively but vastly improved disposal.

Amusing, and sad
Butts has also been good the last two weeks.
Fully over his earlier injury issues?

I think he was built when he came to us. What he is now is confident and error-free, as opposed to panicky.
I really cant remember his first few games

He saved a game for us by handballing onto an oppo leg on the ball's way out of bounds.

A bigger deal out west.
I don't think he's changed that much physically (afl has it as gone from 97 kg to 100 kg). He was a unit in his first year.
It's more he's gone from a defensive monster to a defensive monster who is getting more ball and is reliable with it.

He was pretty good right from the start at nullifying his opponent. I remember liking him immediately, but I've always had a soft spot for big clunky defenders.
The big improvement this year has been that he is now useful going the other way as well.

I still hold out hope there will be a game he gets around our 50 metre arc and just launches a long bomb for a goal

I genuinely believe he currently sits third in our bnf at this point of the season. I'd almost go as far to say that drafting him in the supplementary draft cancels out the tremendous stuff up of McAsey....
Would like if we could find some more Nick Murray's in the wilderness so we don't have to blow top 6 picks on defenders when better ones can legit be found on a cattle station.
A Sheep guy..... Sheep can be knuckle heads at times. I don't envy the work some border collies have to put in to keep them in line.He's an ovine man not a bovine man...
60m torp pls

Yes but not McAsey. If Talia didn't get injured for 2021.
What a sliding doors moment that was.

I just saw this for the first time. Not surprised (now) with the performance of our players. Probably would've been surprised last year though had I seen it then.
But what I find interesting. Look at the Port players. Tom Jonas considerably better than Allir Allir? I'm surprised there.

The one I find really surprising is how little one v ones West Coast face, considering they have a percentage of 54%.
