I would also be annoyed if we picked Whitlock first. There has been a bit of chat around that Reid would be keen to stay in vic though.

I would be ok with this, apart from the vic metro go home factor.

He has been a ruck first forward second at u18 level, but I don’t think that’s where he makes it at afl. Looks very much to me like a Brendan lade type. Will be a very big solid forward with a booming kick and great mark that can take ruck contests and has deft touch with his taps. He is the one...

Yep. Unless we are super set on him (I would be happy to get him at 13) it’s a good move. Leaves us options like Horton or Hynes, and the ability to pick someone we like at 30.

The data that Koch relies on shows that we are achieving all of the metrics that they want to hit. Good financials by paying the debt down, perennially in finals so “successful”. Solid member numbers. All signs of a well run club. Winning the premiership is now a secondary priority to being a...

What you said there might be why they are leaning to use a pick to upgrade our first rounder, so they don’t have to delist anymore.

I would be very surprised if Murphy Reid lasts that long. Would be happy with him at our natural 13.

The last line in their write up of Whitlock is “some query his competitiveness.” That’s not what we need.

Only issue for me is we would have traded out our best half back for a teenage half back. Doesn’t sit well with me.

Happy for clubs to see it that way. I am not sure I do.

He is the one I don’t want to trade up for. Don’t get me wrong, he looks like a really good player, but it’s another half back.

I do get that. And we could absolutely be gunning for it, but I still can’t see how it works, for both us and the other clubs involved.

If the deal involves gws aswell as c4 has suggested it seems more likely that we are trading down to their later teens picks than up to 10. It’s a hard one to see how it works.

The dynamic that Richmond creates in the first round with all of their picks is an interesting one. They potentially prefer getting 2 out of north to get the best 2 mids, then they can really spread the player type that they are after around with later picks. I could see them taking a tall and...

I am hoping that recruiters above us rate Langford the same way you do and he is there at our first pick.

I am really keen on gerreyn with our second pick. Happy to take a tall defender like Barrett with our third as long as we use the first on a mid/forward type.

It took until 8 mins into the 4th quarter in that video for one of his disposals to hit a target. That’s pretty scary.

Farrell was already in the team with Houston.

I agree. I don’t mind Lindsay but it’s just another half back and if we traded out Houston to get a player in the same position I would be pretty annoyed. Hotton or berry for me too.

Looks heaps more mobile around the ground too.

I am sold on Gerreyn too after watching a few more of his videos. I know it’s only wafl colts but he reminds me so much of Brendan Lade. Big and strong, solid skills, good contested mark and deft touch with his ruck work. Will fill out into a massive guy in time looking at him. He is the...

I think so too. I think we need one of berry, Hotton or Hannaford with one of our picks.

That’s my worry with him. He is another small mid that we will try and turn into a small forward due to his attributes. But he hasn’t really shown it in that role yet. Hoping we can cat b rookie him then it doesn’t matter.

Might also be that he is the only one that has made it to South Australia yet. Could have been here for holidays when the trade went though while lukosious is overseas and Richards would be packing up to move.

I would have thought they would be desperate for best available mid.

I don’t think we should either. Lukosious, Marshall (if ok), gerogiades, finlayson and lord is ample ready to play talls. If they like gerryn as the developing ruck/powerful forward with one of the later 2 picks that would be ok.

What exactly did soldo do to disrespect the club?

I thought that the story was the salary dump got our two later picks upgraded. 58 to 50 and 39 to 36.

Or accept that he would make a very good sub. Not every week obviously, but we can play a different kid in front of him most weeks instead of having them as the sub and he would be very effective.
