...player who won't score as many, but will usually make a good contribution and soak up more deliveries.
I agree that Head's style doesn't suit #5, but Green's doesn't seem to either. Head seems to be at his best when counterattacking, but when he's not he usually lacks the patience to craft...
Everyone knew there was two open spots in the side opener and #5, the fact he stayed in the middle order for QLD I would assume he thought he could beat Head out for the #5 spot which was never going to happen.
...Or Goater who looks quite tasty.
We need someone to do the dirty work, let’s hope it’s him. Maybe he’ll be our Kante/Mascherano/Rice type in the #5, allowing the front runners/creative types to pile on scoreboard pressure. I think that’s his role. And a greatly
Important one.

FRIDAY 26 NOVEMBER - THURSDAY 16 DECEMBER
Magnus Carlsen (NOR, World #1, 2855 rating) v Ian Nepomniachtchi (RUS, World #5, 2782 rating)
First to 7.5 wins, tiebreak at 7-7
As this match is at a London friendly time, I plan to give my views on each of the games in this thread. Feel free to...
...what they get (or don't get!).
Hawks should be a full first round pick or their two second round picks this year (starting picks #21 & #24). At #5, they could lose access to both Callaghan & Ward, who would be the best two options for them, so moving to #2 catapults them into getting the...
...might be prepared to offer more to move up a larger amount, and to get Callaghan.)
And no way am I trading with Hawks #2 & F2R for their #5, #24 - it would be their second round pick (and I'd want #21) for just #2 because it guarantees access to Finn Callaghan who would complement their side...
What's crazy to me is how often the older generations changed numbers. I get it for captaincy, but take Gordon Coventry: he wore #3, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #22 and #29 over his career! Imagine Buddy Franklin changing his jumper number every other year :P
This.
To make it perfectly clear, lets try and ground this in reality. There's multiple top end father sons in both years likely to effect things.
You can bookmark this for review next year, but it's likely the offer ends up being something like:
#1, #24
for
#6, #5, #20
...of rookie elevations after this.
2014 Rookie Draft
Got Harmes and Nev
2014 National draft
#2 & #3 Petracca and Brayshaw - HITS
Only DeGoey #5, Lever #13, Touk Miller #29 and Maynard #31 were better players than Brayshaw picked up before our next live pick.
#40 Neal-Bullen - HIT & 42...
No. But if he was adamant on leaving he's only worth would be what we could trade him for. If that was pick #4 AND #5, I'd be more than happy with that.
Simpkin is a year ahead of Cerra. If Cerra wins the Blues' B&F next year and shows Simpkin's leadership qualities, they're even.
...second in this draft but Port have hinted that they want more than that for him.
If the above is true, Ladhams for O’Meara or Wingard with less significant picks evening out the trade, could be on the cards. I don’t think the Hawks will want to lose any of #5, #21 or #24 whilst in rebuild mode.
That draft and Hawks 2004 (Roughy priority pick #2, Buddy #5, Lewis #7) probably go down as two of the best draft hauls in history hey. Incredible to think about nailing every single pick to become a future HOF without fail.
...Nobody is saying that. It just makes us better.
There also seems to be this idea that rebuilding means having top 10 picks. Dylan Stephens was #5, he's being kept out of the side by the likes of McInerney (#44) and Warner (#39). We can still keep adding quality youth despite bringing in...
...We have a history of trading Lachie's for top #5 picks. So seems likely Schultz for Hawthorn's pick #5.
Cerra for Carlton's pick #6 (+ other picks)
We head into the draft with picks #3, #5, #6, #8...
Give me time and I will add to this in an attempt to trigger every other club's supporter...
The club didn't put up this info on Sunday night on its ticketing page when it released info about tickets and I copied it into post #5, but updated it later. When I posted it the AFL had just changed ticketing date from Tuesday morning to Monday arvo.
The club's 2nd priority group was GA...
We will give them a tall forward/ruckman with two years to run on his contract. Our only one of those.
That's heavy.
They need him far more than we need to be trading him, considering we are in quite a bad place if we do trade him.
Pick #5, #19, their 2022 1st and now also #55, #60 and #66
...to be satisfied with market value, you want them to suffer.
And pick #19 isn't even of their own, not to mention the AFL paying the salary for some of their players to keep them marketable. We aren't dealing in a fair environment here.
So requirement is now #5, #19 and their 2022 1st round...
Hmm, what would he cost? Definitely not #5, but would it take #19 or could they use their second rounder?
The real problem is how much overs would they have to pay Laird to make the move?
Did you see the attachment? I’m not complaining, just deal in facts.
The only thing I care about is premiership #5, are we closer to it on the back of that? Some will argue for, some against, but it was a great win, fantastic win, but it does not get us closer to number 5.
The ‘culture’ in in...
...top 2, as I doubt our ability to win 2 big away finals.
My rough ratings at the moment would be Richmond #1, Dogs #2, Port #3, Geelong #4, WC #5, Bris #6, Melb #7, GWS #8, Sydney #9.
I think we can beat anyone at home, just not sure about our capacity against a couple of the top contenders...
