I watched nearly all his VFL games. His last few weeks were terrific. You could tell he’d shrugged off his injury issues from before pre-season and had confidence in his running patterns. Look at his game against Geelong.

Even if we get pick 3, Houston and 17 other future 1sts when giving up only Young and a F4, the clear winner of trade week will always be *
whooosh!
Yeah but someone Port wants !!
Hopefully but Port do want Richard’s who also wants to get to Port!!

I'm obviously not in on the joke.
Watching Bathurst instead of following the discussion too closely.

The truth sometimes arrives on horses. 🐎
Ah. Come on in! We've room for a few more.
Would you like a fermented carrot juice?
And Richards is out of contract,so Port shouldn't even consider him part of the Houston deal. Walk him to the PSD.

So weird - 9 game 25 Y/O with Injury history. Kicked 6 goals in his stellar career apparently?

So we haven't put a contract in front of Houston as of Friday.
Austin said he wants 2 picks in the top end of the draft and was non-committal on Houston at the start of the trade period.
Yet we are still in the race?
I hope and highly doubt we recruit Houston.

Using that gimmel joke of a pick the AFL gave them for Battle, makes sense for St Kilda it's practically a free hit.

Not actually Brad Fisher
Port will be able to get Richards from the Pies for next to nothing in a separate deal. He has minimal trade value so won't be a factor in their decision making for the Houston deal.
I'd take Houston for pick 12

Was extremely highly touted and gifted as a glider and able to 'find space where others couldnt' and 'navigate traffic'. Was often likened to Pendlebury with his movement glide and ability to make movement through traffic look unrushed.
Doesn't matter if we didn't see it at Carlton. At the same stage as the context of the comment (draft time) that's who he was and why he went top 5/10 wherever it was.
He then absolutely looked the part early in the nearly/VFL for gws often having 30+ and screaming smooth 200+ game mid.
What happened next is a bit of a mystery. But a lot of promising players mysteriously weren't promising anymore at Carlton. Smooth was his thing.
Tomorrow's heroes: Will Setterfield, the tall mid who can do it all
Tomorrow's heroes: Giants have first access to this top-five talent

'There's a bit of Marcus Bontempelli in Setterfield's ability to use his size to advantage around the ground. He's got a similar smooth approach and doesn't get flustered.'
'He is a classy ball-user, and does things with a minimum of fuss. When up and going he always has time to think through things and make the right decisions.
The only real knock on Setterfield has been his body and his run of injuries over the past two seasons.'

O'Sullivan isn't so much about gliding through traffic. He more tests the gaps, moving right up to a defender, then able to pivot and evade at pace if the gap closes, and find another option quickly. His reflexes seem very good and his football smarts highly developed.
Me three.
There is a tinge of irony in this coming from bradfisher14.
