if all the stars aligned then we may have only been/be one good small short of a decent forward line. E.Hollands McKay Cottrell Moir Curnow ……….. Fantasia is sort of the type that complements that I guess. Unfortunately I just don’t think there is an obvious target to chase to fill that role...

Agree with this but they are stars of the game. A goal kicking small is going to cost us a pretty penny

I really like McCreery but he is far from a star. He is actually the reason I have had hope in players like Cottrell and Durdin. In a team that is up and firing they could play a role like he does. That little bit extra running power is huge and something I think Fog and Motlop lack.

Well you finished second last year so thought you might be able to improve on that.

Should we be loading up on Port for the Flag next year?

Unfortunately the AFL punish cheats a lot more than local footy so we are probably best to stay away.

Also if you ignore the final he got injured in his Possesions and goals per game in finals were probably the same as they are at Geelong. You could also argue 2019 was his best season and then a real down year during covid before going to Geelong. I really don’t think he has changed too much...

I would’ve thought Murrabit and Moulamein would be fine with a white clash jumper. Ultima will need to change along with Macorna if they come.

I’ve actually come around to the tax rather than discount. If you want special access to a player pay a 10% tax. The discount is the most stupid concept imaginable

It’ll come down to % if toolytang wins next week, which could become pretty tight

New reality I guess. GC are now likely to finish top 4 and they had about 1 player out while we had about 7-8. That was as good of a performance that we could’ve hoped for imo. Considering we backed Voss in I was really just hoping for effort to show he hasn’t actually lost the group.

Circumstances play a big part. There aren’t any great uncontracted options. It’s a very boring type of draft. Future picks aren’t that valued because of the fear they will just be eaten up by Walker. If we lose TDK, JSOS plus a big name player then it’s hard to see anyone you could have...

I hope you are right about coming into his prime considering he was drafted with Weitering, McKay and Curnow. It would be nice to think their best footy is yet to come. For me $650k is plenty for what he has showed over his career it just needs big incentives.

Strange take considering what happened with Houston last year.

He took on a basket case and turned them around. I think they went from wooden spoon to second on the ladder in his first 3 seasons

it’s hard to see how we don’t have to split the pick. If Gruzewski is part of that then I think that will give us the best outcome.

More people are going to want to watch the replacement game so it’s actually good for football fans

He is contracted. GWS don’t need picks in the 30’s in a weak draft We won’t want to trade future picks GWS would be mad to let him walk unless they are getting big overs. If we think Dean could be getting a bid before our pick then turning that pick into Gruzewski and points is probably the...

It is but they get to tell us what they want. JSOS pick will be in the 30’s. They don’t want or need that. We aren’t going to be trading our future second. There’s a possibility they try and use their two seconds to trade up and JSOS’s pick would be handy for that but then if we take TDK pick...

Gruzewski is contracted so it wouldn’t surprise me if he cost us TDK compo (if we are worried about a bid for Dean) with later picks coming back this and next year for points which would give us some flexibility. They have several players like Gothard who would also make decent targets as They...

The whole “first round pick” thing is just lazy. Heaps of players are worth 3 first rounders, especially with these compromised drafts. The same player who is worth 3 first rounders can also be worth only 1 first rounder depending on where they fall.

Hay could be competitive because they have a top end who can easily match CM sides, just need to pick up a few to help with depth. Probably abit like ToolyManang. Ultima are the opposite, a lot of solid players but they will struggle big time as they won’t have enough players to win their...

I don’t think cap space really matters now. It’ll probably be beneficial for us if it is backended now

You forgot to mention he made the AA squad.

Massive upgrade, though I could also see someone massively overpaying him.

McCreery would be great but how much do you spend on a 10 touch player who doesn’t hit the scoreboard? Hard player to judge, in a poor side he might get more involved in a different role or he might just be a good role player who becomes a whipping boy in a poor side.

We would need the AFL to tell us because 3 years at say $750k would probably wipe out JSOS compo but if they just subtracted it from TDK’s offer we may still get band 1 for him while keeping JSOS’s compo pick.

Mihocek would be a FA wouldn’t he? Edit. I wonder if that would eat into TDK’s compo or SOJ’s

Barrass? If the right team have the picks then they will give them up. You just need to be in the right place at the right time. Richmond with Freo and GC benefited massively from this

Teams would’ve paid up for Petracca and probably still would. Hawks for instance would likely have pick ~5 on the table and would probably add abit more. You just need the right club chasing and the player willing to go. Rioli last year was only 8months younger than Harry for instance Curnow...
