This is what should of happened, but could you trust those umpires in that moment not to ping him. They did it with Bruest with the same amount of time that would have been afforded to Hawthorn players. They would have got holding the ball and a set shot. Just needed to hand ball it to the team...
Although I didn’t trust the umpires in the last few seconds before the curly head f*** kicked that … why didn’t one ****ing player just hold the footy and absorb a tackle?
Why let it spill out.
They wouldn’t pay holding the ball for the exact same thing I saw happen twice in a row yet when...
All this negativity about his Height, do these people realise that if we skipped him he was gonna be taken next pick. Hell the club 2 picks away was trying very hard to persuade us to downgrade so they could take him first. Elite at his craft and he will have us enjoying any way we like to...
Put it this way , if Curtin was our choice we’d have no problem trading back. Keeping it means we are happy to take either Mckercher , Duursma or most likely Watson ahead of Curtin. Seeing Melbourne desperately try means we are set.
Always has been drafts like that … everything is speculative after the top 5-10 … every now and then you’ll get a deep draft. This isn’t one of them.
There’s always diamonds late. Doesn’t mean there aren’t good players to be had. We have enough good players … we need players that excel in their...
Yes you’d be able to prize them out of their clubs with free agency and trades. Once we have the performance to match the enthusiasm of the pitch , players will want to come.
If we were stupid enough to trade down as suggested by some here , I'd be in mourning. I wouldn't be celebrating at all.
After the top 5 , it's all vanilla.
Edit. The only real available quality is Reid, Walter, Mckercher and Watson. These are Rare beasts. They are a point of difference. The...
Sydney sent a late first rounder for our 2nd rounder a future 2nd and a future 3rd last draft.
Our future first could potentially be a pick 3 again.
Won’t take too much more than our future first and some change to get it imo.
My feeling is if we are able to land pick 6-8 this year with our future first we could get pick 1. it will be enough. We don't need our future first if we are thinking trades (unless it will be a big throw at an out of contract gun) and free agency next season.
We should never trade down when we are top 5… only up.
In saying that North shouldn’t trade any of their 2 and 3. 2 top picks is better than 1. If we had them I wouldn’t want to trade them for Reid.
There’s always the chance of Melbourne doing a deal with North to give them pick 3 (north get pick 1 off wce , pick 11 off Melbourne , wce get pick 2 and 6 and we lose out on one of Duursma and Watson.
That would be
shinbeggars - Reid
Wce - curtain
Melbourne - Watson
Hawks - Duursma or...
We finally get some tall targets to take the ball at its highest point and we are seriously contemplating letting one go ?? Not for mine. He has up to 7 years left in the system compared to max 2 for Gunston. We aren’t in premiership contention yet so no way I’d even consider trading away Ryan...
It’s just their last grip of power in the expiring contract. The player is contracted until the expiry on the 31st of October in the players final year. Then they become a delisted player but they can’t sign as a delisted free agent. Unless they were delisted by the club before that expiry date...
