They haven’t made baffling recruiting decisions either. Frampton was recruited very specifically to fill the hole Roughy left. Having him play round 1 is as close to a lock as you can get imo, barring injury or a horrendous drop off in preseason form, which seems very unlikely.

No, he won the best first year player VFL award iirc. He wasn’t necessarily the number 1 defender league wide.

This may well be the way we go. I’m probably being a bit old fashioned (certainly old
) in thinking of Frampton or Dean playing more that traditional fullback role allowing Moore to play CHF where he can use his attacking prowess to advantage.

I loved Darcy's finals games on Hawkins and Buddy. Play him on the go to guy.This may well be the way we go. I’m probably being a bit old fashioned (certainly old

It was these games in particular that had me pining for a fullback ala Roughead which would have allowed us the flexibility to move Darcy to Cameron against Geelong. The move onto Buddy against the Swans, which changed the match, only came about when Reid went off from memory. Up until then we were struggling to cover their three talls. We’ve done particularly well with a slightly undersized backline both in 2018 and 2022 but I do wish we had a Dunne or Roughy type available for those finals rather than Goldy and Murph.
Appears McRae was thinking along similar lines. We wish Frampton, Dean and Kelly well in their development.
Would love to see Howe transition to a lockdown defender role on the second key forward. Undersized yes, but bank on Frampton and Moore zoning off. That’s Frampton’s weapon and only way he makes it, he’s not a 1 on 1 defender.

Howe played on the second key forward most of the year and didn’t didn’t work.

This. Frampton, 200cm, performing well in the SANFL, mature-age prospect, costs a third rounder for established, hardly breaking the bank. In an ideal world, Adelaide would have kept him. They didn't, he's playing for Collingwood's AFL team in round one as a defender. Best available Roughie replacement.
The tall intercepting defender was made to wait to get on to an AFL list, being picked up two years after his initial draft season. A stunning season for Williamstown in the VFL, where he claimed the 2021 Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal for the state league best under-23 performer was ultimately enough to convince club recruiters to pounce (source: Charlie Dean | AFL).
He's only 21 and younger than Richards. In my opinion, the man has shown enough to warrant being on an AFL list. He's a strong performer and should make his debut in 2023. An excellent attitude, too as shown through rehab and working his way to play AFL despite initially going undrafted.

How can we get Oscar Steene if we want him? Rookie draft?
That’s not it at all, if you’re a 5 year old with an inability to read between the lines then yeah. There is a depth to my arguments, and a nuance that perhaps I need to spell out to you next time. Losing an argument to you may happen one day, not yet buddy. So keep pestering, happy to hammer you any time.
She answered it -
“I would like to think so …. from what I can see, Oscar is doing a lot right. Putting his best foot forward, not much more he could do than that.”

An update on Darcy Moore from the Pies' website -
"Collingwood advises key defender Darcy Moore was recently admitted to hospital with a bone infection (osteomyelitis).
The 26-year-old is now recovering at home and is not expected to be back at training until after the holiday break.
General Manager of Football Graham Wright said Darcy’s health remains paramount. “Our main priority is Darcy’s health and we will continue to support him as he recovers at home from the infection,” Wright said.
“We are grateful that this was picked up early by medical staff and as such, we are not expecting any long-term issues.”
The Club will provide an update in due course."
damn, hope it's nothing serious or long-lasting

Bit harsh on the MayneEvent.
He was 6th in Freo's BnF the year before he joined us, and barely missed a beat.
For mine Frampton is more akin to us trading for Darcy Cameron. Unlike Mayne, not an AFL regular player.
Cameron a fringe player, a depth option who didnt play Rd1 the year we traded for him.

"Most people need surgery to remove areas of the bone that have died."

Trust me this is serious,
I had a bout of Osteomyelitis 20 years ago in my pelvis due to a hairline fracture (stress fracture from marathon running)
It was an excruciatingly painful condition, I spent close to 3 weeks in hospital with IV infusion of multiple high strength antibiotics, and a further 6 weeks with a portable infuser at home.
Took me 3-4 months before I felt good again. Wouldn’t wish this condition on anyone.
Anyway hope Darcy only had a mild case and recovers quickly.

From the club's info, it sounds like Darcy's case was picked up early and is mild and will resolve quickly.
We all hope that is the case, because he is arguably the player we can least afford to lose.

I was talking about Max the volley ball player mate ,I think you got the wrong end of the stick and yes it was a mistake to ask him to training if he could not kick closer than 30 mtrs to a player who probably was only 40mtrs away (think about for a minute).
I am pleased that the young ruck from West Ade seems to be going well, just shows that are young players that can go undrafted but may have something when given a go.
