These types of players are a dying breed. Not tall. Not small. No pace. Unless you're a contested animal like Rayner, Dusty, Mitchito or Stringer (lol) you either need to be KPP or super fit small applying pressure and providing dynamic ball movement (think Hawk small forwards). I think the...

Mitchito. Think he should look to Rayner as the ideal prototype.

Reckon Elijah had enough to make a nice career in the AFL before he was found out with the DV.

The OP was for our 2nd round pick, which we definitely should do!

Agreed. Joke. Should be years of service.

26 is the youngest you can be coming into free agency (8 years service from 18), unless you have a late birthday (which both Perryman and McKay do).

That was my take as well. Contract length is one criteria (up to 5 years max) and average annual wage another. Two separate criteria.

Just an FYI - GWS and Perryman are in the same boat, with similar $$$ getting thrown around.

If the intent is to play him in tandem with Rowan, then yep, definitely.

Surely is. His brother was and because he was bidded on early they didn't get him.

Well I said, and I'm definitely in that camp.

I know we are some ways off, but next years draft is a) littered with Academy and / or FS and b) appears to not be of the same quality of this year's draft. If we are decent next year, that F2 pick may end up being mid 30s by the time it comes around. If everything goes to script, this should...

You've changed your tune, and it's not even trade week yet. By the end of it, 43 will be juuuuuuuuust right.

Hayes?

This.

Why would we want to use Pick 24?

Ease up hombre, the man is the second coming of the Dalai Llama. No shade.

Harley Reid.

Bloody Richmond supporters with Pick 3 for Baker. Reckon I'll give this board a spell to get away from this madness. Absolute peanuts.

Also playing him out of position, and with talented highly drafted youngsters not being able to even make the emergency list. You've moved last him, and the industry knows it.

It's a salary dump, not because you can't take on his salary, but that it's a poor allocation of your TPP on a resource that has been identified as surplus and not prioritised in front of others.

I hate this revisionist stuff. Hindsight is great because you can make it whatever you want it to be. What's to say we pick Serong and he gets 5 concussions in his first year? Or asks for a trade after his 4th year? It's all ifs and buts

I think we would want to use that pick. A future second I could accept, begrudgingly. We have the ability to pay his entire contract, and I know it's not cumbersome to the Dogs TPP, but it is the smart play if other younger players are going to be prioritised in the Seniors over him. In the...

You rang?

Dangerous game just focusing on points and not looking at the players involved. Talent drop off's, etc. are important, but the fact of the matter is Suns want to get inside the Lombard bid, not outside of it.

The question really is why any team would be happy to move up or out of this draft. I think most clubs will want to keep their presence in the first or second round, not reduce it.

Would people feel comfortable skipping on a Cole / Peckett / Hoffman if it meant getting Ough? Think he is a great option late, and has the physique we are looking for in our wings (height, marking).

No issues. Similar to Jack Steele, I think he is one of the best two-way mids in the game. Probably prefer head hunting him than LDU (I wonder if we could lure both...)

Nah bugger that, I'd do the trade in a heartbeat. Suns wouldn't entertain it, would want something back.

If I was Gold Coast, I'd flog off 6 and one of their teens pick for 2 and chump change with North. Get right inside the Lombard pick and get a pick so high that there is no possible way it is entertained for Rioli. Then Richmond can have the other teens pick or a future first for him. Start...
