How to we factor in the predicted rule changes with drafting and trading?


Presumable the rule changes will be known before the trade/draft.


Do we disregard it?

One thing that looks like being more important is a marking forward.

If the rule changes end up favouring talls, we've done really well recently. We've picked up the likes of schache, English, naughton, Adams and Young cheaply in the few years when the market value of talls has been at an all time low.

Look, may be absolutely nothing but a mate of mine saw Patrick Cripps at Claremont Quarter (a shopping centre in Perth Western Australia) yesterday. Guys a Carlton fan so unlikely he is mistaken. Could he be looking at going back to he West? Seems odd for a player to fly home mid-week, but I do acknowledge it could be for a heap of reasons.

If we don’t go after Polec, both Atkins and Seedsman could we our SA targets, who play a similar role.

With their death camp they had earlier in the year who knows who we could pinch from the crows.

Him, landsberger could be playing funny buggers with the info on Wallis. I'd say he wouldn't be in the good books with the club for spouting that.

Absolutely no on Seedsman

So so injury prone, this year is arguably his best year in terms of durability and continuity, he's only missed one game I think.

I'd be dead against Polec also if we were after him, soft tissue injury merchant, don't need to add these types to the already concerning injury prone list/injury management team that we have. Rather just pay up and get Gaff who is an upgrade on Hunter if we are looking at outside ball users, though it seems Gaff is improving his inside stuff too.


Not sure on Atkins, he seems to be a whipping boy for Adelaide, Riley Knight was one I thought who had a lot of potential though, not sure if he's had injury problems or is just a fringe type for them, but I've seen some decent footy from him.
