Yeah, seems like the cupboard is bare.Surely Darcy Gardiner as a free agent (I get Brisbane could potentially match) is a better shout than Tomlinson or Madgen.

I suppose I'd prefer to take a shot at a VFL kpp or ruck since they tend to come good at a later age.Just and observation, not a crack at you specifically …
I love how in our heads at the same time time we can both (1) rue the years we didn’t draft gun VFL players in our own back-yard and; (2) hate the clubs current strategy of picking up a Footscray VFL gun every year.
Sure some of those we missed became good AFL players and players we did pick amounted to nothing, but over a sustained period the counterfactual would have most likely been drafting a bunch of VFL guns who couldn’t take the next step (as well as those who did) and burning some of the rookie list spots used on Boyd, Harbrow, JJ, etc.

Someone reported Gardiner doesn’t want to move.
Serious question
Who tf is Jack Madgan?
Edit: didn’t even get his name right
He was impossible to tackle, just so strong but by god his kicking was bad.I recall seeing him play for Williamstown a few times. He did nothing to indicate that he was anything more than a solid player at VFL level.
Why don’t we just play Buku instead of picking up spuds
Agree. But if for whatever reason we didn’t land one of those I’d rather back in Buku (190cm) or even Bedendo (191cm) for a 3rd tall / interceptor rather than add Jack Madgen. I can only see the merits if they think the Tomlinson / Madgen types can play as 1st or 2nd talls.Why don’t we draft someone better? There are options this year for third tall that can play round 1 and will be available late first round.
He makes McComb look like a combination of Ted Whitten and Michael JordanIs Madgen really that bad?

Hunter is either getting on the turps, or hitting the gym really hard.
Will be cool to see how this one plays out!
In 2021, the grand final was the only time the side conceded 100 points all season. The defensive setups are 90% of the issue. Jones can help given the level he’s played at previously, but looking at players deemed not good enough to hold down a spot in another backline would be a very strange strategy. I don’t think you’d see much difference at Melbourne if you swapped out Petty for Gardiner.
