I should also add I am bemused re Elliot. Now Told our medicos ain’t seen him. If true, I am surprised we are offering him three years let alone the Dees four.

If memory serves me, EH was touted as a KPF and KPD prospect when drafted. So maybe that versatility is attractive. Haven't seen much of him to form an opinion though

Also says we will be hanging onto our first two picks. And a bid on Finn will most likely come in the second round.

This. LONG way off it at the moment.
Just a had a look at AFL Player Ratings, and as good a measure as it is, for those throwing shade at Frost - he's outscoring: J.Frawley, M.Hurley, T.Stewart, H.Taylor, S.Thompson, L.Jones, J.Trengove; and I wouldn't mind a number of them on our list!

And this is exactly why AFL player ratings can mean sh*t all.
There's not anyone alive that's watched any of these players play that would claim that Frost is better than them - in particular the first four.

Yeah maybe 6 years ago
almost all of those blokes are nearing the end of their career and their output is generally not what it was (and what you think it is nowadays)
Preach! Player ratings are just for discussion purposes. Not meant to infer real quality.
Im easily picking frawley or hurley from that list

No he didn’t
He was talking about the future picks given to Gold Coast
“The AFL have not put any restrictions on any picks”
But picks 1 and 2 would be “hard to prise out of our hands”

In a sense I agree, some of the players in that list are/were quality. However the rankings do consider a number of factors and place him fairly highly. As I'm sure our coaching staff do. I guess what I'm saying is perhaps there's more to work with there than a lot of people are giving credit; and if he came reasonably cheaply, why wouldn't it be worth a punt?

All those players > Frost this year, which is what the ratings would have been based on.

Clicking this made me discover Sam blocked me 3 years ago for calling him a flog. Don't remember why but I feel like it was justified and would stand up today.

Sam is a weasel. Can't hide his Hawks hatred well. No doubt you caught him out on it onetime.

It pretty much read that Hawthorn haven’t made a formal offer yet. It did say GWS want a 3rd rounder but that’s not to say that is what they’ll get.

Strange call.
Stage managed by Connors management. JP is doing a TAB earner and will be talking to the media.

Really looking forward to the announcement of “The General” to Hawthorn!
Paired with Mitch, we will have a pretty solid 1-2 punch & TO flying around will make it all the more spectacular.

Both of them fit and firing it’s dynamic and aerially dominate... Elliott and Punky at their feet with a pressure forward and Gunno trotting around and we look like millionaires. Hopefully we attack a bit more in 2020.

Funnily enough I probably have him as a mid first... that’s where his value is for mine, hopefully see him 100%

Lost a lot of respect for Connors over the past few trade periods. Has enveloped himself in a layer of used car salesman slime.
