I agree. Draper bounces laterally to space out of a stoppage before putting the burners on. Dow never did that. Dow spent too much time on all fours, scrambling for the ball instead of reading it off hands. Still liked Dow, not a bad player at all but.... zero comparison to Draper.

What a great bunch of young footballers. The worst part is knowing other teams with picks below ours, possibly as far down as pick 12-14, have just as much chance of selecting the next superstar as we do. It's not who we are going to pick at 3, it's who we leave behind that bugs me.

We won't pick him but the team that ends up with Langford will be very happy. I only watch highlights and his are great. Decisive with great skills. Opens the game up well for his team.

Pretty cool eh!? Effing loves it.

Two flags in 2026?

Stick to your guns bruv. I can wait. For me personally, 85% of pre-trade information is tabloid and I digest it purely as that. I love those that aren't ITK who speculate scenarios and potential trades. Nobody has ever nailed one of them but they get a kick out of the process. Nobody has...

Can't (news)paper over those cracks.

It's not. His highlights are all hangers. We need line breakers with foot skills. YouTube Barker's highlights. All hangers. Buyer beware. Just sayin.

I see Trevor Barker in the way he flies at the ball. For those fellow fossils who remember him. Trevor was also good for highlights.

Bit late and a possible now irrelevant reply but I'm going to say it anyway... The 'fretting' is only because nobody else really contributes on a consistent basis. It's all on the shoulders of our two KPF.

Fair dinkum though, this type of therapy has value. I'm a fan of Young, he's not had a solid year in the one position yet. That would have an effect.

I missed it too. We call him 'Larger' Hollands...because he is.

I'd like that. Been a rough few weeks for the bagger collective. Seeing lads like Lord and Binns doing their thing was a shining light.

He'll never do it. He doesn't appear brave enough to take the perceived risk of losing a game. Preaches being brave in the contest. The entire comp is a contest.

Small fwds need a point of difference. Something dynamic, mercurial or a bit of mongrel that is constant, reliable and that they are renowned for. Owies aside, ours are barely noticeable. Austin and Co have a lot of work to do. We pursue the list padding messiah trades like we're Geelong...

Someone has told me Martin has potentially had a medical at Freo. Prob already been mentioned but I don't even try to keep up on the board this time of year.

That is so bloody accurate. 5 foot nuthin, playing like he's 200+. That's some serious nail/head stuff.

Zero chance pre-season training is a factor in August.

Watch the ruck duels and the GWS tactic change from the 1st qtr. There's your answer. Old news now anyway. On the bluemour topic, is there any truth or substance behind the Cerra rumours? Someone must know more. These things don't just appear without some semblance of foundation?

How about we manage our list by utilising what we have more effectively. Kemp isn't a KPD(granted, there's nobody else atm) Binns needs exposure, stop playing Hewett. Young is a better ruck for the modern game than Pittonet List is cooked. Majorly. Contested footy is dead. Run, spread...

Best of luck to the lad. Hope he can recover fully throughout 2024 without any associated complications.

The return of Z. Williams for sure.

Would have to involve Lance Whitnall

Fish a very close mate of Logue.

Same. Not to derail the thread but he was looking the goods before the knee.

This has been what my wife has listened to me say (or scream at the telly) all season. Can't have it all overnight but I agree that this is 100% our achilles heel.

Come now people, let's stay level and not get all prelim goal square jigging Chad Cornes. Focus on the job at hand. Backs are realistically against the wall here. This game is well and truly on. I'm in WA but we were at Marvel last year when we played these pretenders. Do me a favour and...

From memory we failed to move the ball with any urgency the last 2 times we've played these guys. Slow ball movement, borderline circle work. Will he different Sunday. We'll win.

12 years old and a blubbing mess. Kacking his dacks by the end of the game and looking very exposed. 47% (or less) KE. Take your crown for this week baggers. Loves it.

I don't believe Weiters likes having Young in the backline. Young's reaction time is not the quickest. He can play but needs the extra second to read the play. His lack of nous to react and cover was doing everyone's head in before he was dropped. He's a reasonable ruck/fwd, can take an...
