I just don't know who he would replace, he's not taking Freddys spot and Switta already plays the low touches but high pressure type game. Would hope we are adding in goal threats rather than just pressure players.

Had a read of the Rosas thread on Draft and Trading board. In summary:
- Gold Coast fans can't understand the decision.
- Didn't see many fans (if at all) state they didn't want him at their club next season.
- Most seem convinced they'll be plenty of interest if he leaves - Essendon seems to be vibe when posters aren't talking about their own team.
I would love to see us using a forward to lock down the rebounder, makes so much more sense than a traditional midfield tag for our squad.
Wow, that is reasonable confirmation of the vibes about MFC being somewhat of a mess currently.
Nathan Jones was a good player who gave his all for many years to a club that was pretty average. From memory he finished about the time MFC came good, some players are just unlucky with their timing.

Pickett yet to sit down with his manager eh. Interesting...
“Kozzy Pickett is driving back to Darwin as we speak. He’ll stop in at Adelaide and speak to his manager Peter Rohde ... he’s going nowhere,” Ralph said on Fox Footy’s On the Couch.
“He’s a bit homesick, as he always is. His younger sister lives in Melbourne, he’s there with his partner and young child.
“Ideally he’d love to have more Indigenous teammates and he doesn’t really have a home ... but he won’t be going anywhere.”

Ralph: My Kozzie is not a Freo player. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a Freo player, but he is NOT a p0rn star!

Would need to add another 7 to 9 days on that because nothing happens until after the weekend and into the last 3 days.

100% this.
The problem is our interest in Martin. Can't see us making a play for both (as well as Bolton/Kossie etc etc).
Surely Martin wouldn't be on the horizon if we knew Rosas was available on the cheap?

We're just collecting small forwards at this point.

Can you play Bolton and Rosas in the same forward line as 3 talls and Sturt?
We really need one player providing some defensive pressure.
Looks great with the ball, and deadly in front of the goal, but the ball is already exiting our forward line too quickly.

I really think we only have one on our list in Dealan.
Bolton is not a true forward pocket, I think he plays his best football when he gets up the ground, and runs through the middle. I would say he is more of a half forward, like Switta (but he can't kick goals) or Frederick.
Assuming we get Bolton, the other small forward should provide elite pressure, be excellent at getting front and center.

But the ball will get carried back to the centre for a bounce.
Scoreboard pressure builds defensive pressure, right now the smaller oppositions defenders can run off their man without too much risk.
EDIT: We would need to keep Switta though, I just don't think we need to be adding in more defensive minded forwards. If we can bring in Bolton and Rosas it would allow Switta to do what he does best.
Kozzie gets used at CBAs, Papley the same. Ginnivan has been pushing higher up the ground this year and is dominating, the smalls that can't push up and impact are the ones that simply aren't very good. Motlop is a good example of this.

Papley, Pickett, Ballantyne are the type of small forwards I am thinking off, and ones similar to that.
Great defensive pressure, good 1v1, good at getting front and center and kicking goals.
I am sure they both get the odd CBA, but it is a lot lower than what Bolton has done through his career.

I didn't realise Brodie is contracted until 2026. What is going on with this guy. Who in our team is he depth cover for?
Thing is Emmett is that small that tackles and brings pressure. There aren't many of these in the AFL that are also genuine goal threats, Pickett is the best in the league by far which is why it's so disappointing that we will most likely not get him this year.
