These are names I'd look at for the F50/D50.
Hugo Garcia
Ned Long
Taj Campbell-Farrow
Ted Clohesy
Jhye Clark
There's a bunch more too. All these players lay tackles and can hit the scoreboard. These are the players I'd try to trade for, or draft with a Rookie pick.

Yeah, it can. But players that I think he has failed:
Roughead - was never tried elsewhere.
Schache (prob wasn't going to make it) - but I would have tried on the wing.
Lipi - focussed on what he couldn't do.
McLean - after his ACL was never really played in the middle which was his best spot...
In terms of Young and Sweet. I don't think people bemoan losing those players specifically. They're more upset that they were never really given the opportunity to succeed. Sweet is a combatant, English is not, and both try to hurt the opposition in different ways. That being said however...
This is BS.
Disposals: 16.5 Abv Ave
Tackles: 4.6 Elite (3rd best at the Dogs)
Clearances: 2.4 Abv Ave
72% disp efficiency
5.4 cont poss, ave
3.5 Score assists, ave.
He achieved this with only 66% TOG.
Anyone who says this is disappointing for 1st year player who's playing in the guts has no...
I watched some VFL, and whilst I don't think Rypstra was shooting the lights out, I'm happy to give the kid a preseason to have a real go. I would be telling him that we want him to tackle and hit those front and centres consistently. That needs to be the nuts and bolts of his game. If he can't...
If the power lied with me, this is how I'd go.
Trade:
Smith
Macrae
Delist:
Keath
Bedendo
Clarke
VDM (paid out)
JJ
Rookie:
Rypstra
I would then go to the draft with any R1 and 2 picks, and then get hard-headed mature aged players. The type that would run through a brick wall to get the job...
As mush as I feel sick saying it, the only team I'd be ok with winning is GWS, and it's only for Ward.
Can't stand any of the teams left, but Dunkley can choke on a bag of D. Port has nothing redeeming. Sick of Sydney's shit and sooking from 2016, and I hope Geelong loses, and it's the first...
Why is it that teams don't play everyone? Dogs haven't played Southport before today. There are enough rounds.

I wonder what Sam Day's footy IQ is like. He isn't being offered a new contract, so I wonder if he'd be open to a Rookie place, but effectively as a coach. He's next level loyal, busts his arse, and is a bit of a heart and soul player.
Does anyone have a read on his footy IQ?

Dogs and Hawks atk/def is 3 and 1, and 1 and 3, respectively. Friday night should be an awesome game. I think the thing that stands out for us is our ability to shut down sml/med forwards which are dangerous for the Hawks.

Look what Gags did today, and that is what we have been looking for, and partly why the coaches may be interested in Rayner. He's not a beast like Rayner, but he is developing a nice sidestep and is hitting team mates and the scoreboard.

There's no Essendon elite talent that I'd be overly interested in pursuing because they're either pipe dreams or would cost too much. There are, however, cheaper options that I would look at:
Peris (ave 4 tackles a game, 14 touches and can kick a goal.)
Lual (People like him, not sure how...
I wonder if the club would talk to Owies. He's out of contract and is a specialised small forward. Needs to get some more tackles but can kick some goals.

I thought the same thing about Schache. 2 metre player who can run all day and can help on all 3 lines sounds like a great option. Lukosius is similar.

Thought he was just as good. With those two boys running around intercepting, it really allows Coff, JOD, Freij, Doc, Buku to do their thing. That being said, Buku has been exceptional since coming back in.

Does anyone think we might have a crack at Tsatas. A fast mid/fwd who is at a great age bracket. He's not shooting the lights out at Essendon, but he was a high draft pick.

Great names are coming through.
