No chance he gets a game for either WA club the last two years he’s been at the crows. That would have something to do with it.
Anyway he’s pretty rubbish.
I’d honestly rather Levi Casboult on the rookie list for a season and go hard at forward/rucks at the 2022 trade period. And yes I’m aware that Casboult is a massive spud.
ahhhh the old purchased a house in coogee story
He is managed by Young, no thank you.
Yeah good point about getting a game in WA. Seems underwhelming.
Casboult would be alright as the get out kick player if we keep some smalls at his feet and he separates the defense.
If you look back at one of the greatest teams, Hawks. They actually belted more grand finalists when Buddy left.
A Roughead, Gunston, Hale forward line easily took care of Sydney, WC.
Obviously their smalls, wingers were quality. But midfield is where it all starts.
Losing Cerra’s silky skills will hurt but Brodie will help with his size.
We are in a great position to build something special.

Match bid on Motlop in the 40s/50s.
Benning as a Cat B
Lots of options when you have 3 picks inside 20.
Kind of hoping we pull the pin on the Clark deal and grab a Bazzo or a Brown at 22.

Would grabbing Rachelle mitigate the need for Motlop?

It would certainly mitigate the need for using a pick on him. If he's not picked until after 40 then we should still get him.

Let Lobb go he doesn’t want to be here. 22 for Clarke no more than that. Take JVR and Josh Cripps in draft, one big monster and a mobile type. Grab Liam McBean with rookie pick from SANFL for a few years until others develop. Has been leading goal kicker in SANFL last 3 years, 202cm. Averages over 2.5 goals a game over a long period, not a flash in the pan, was on Richmonds list. Highlights look ok. Call me stupid but we can’t afford to blow the farm on another big forward to replace Lobb, they cost too much. This plan allows us to draft and grow a couple of our own yet still be ready to go next year.

Heppell beat him by 3 strokes
I'm not against English coming aboard... I see him more as a Dean Cox type than anything, maybe Matty Richardson sort of thing? Let him run around as the big link. float forward and kick a few snags and give Swaggy a chop out in the ruck?
Depends on the price I suppose. Our draft hand is looking pretty strong now wouldn't want to stuff it up could have a chance of actually building a forward line with good forwards in it.

I am finding myself more and more frustrated with our list management, and the below highlights why.
We apparently going through a rebuild, but use 2 first round picks, 5 second round picks, 3 3rd round picks bringing in average players.
If we had committed to the rebuild, we would be in a good position now, instead we are still 3 or 4 players short of where we need to be.

Brisbane woke up to the fact of players buying in. Biggest change at the Dees, winning trade night is great for the ego

If we’re looking to play finals next year which I’m pretty sure the club is looking at the rebuild should be over
Yeah, but we had not traded away those picks we would be in a really strong spot.
I think we will struggle to make the finals, as Cerra leaving and Mundy declining will hurt us more than you think. If Lobb leaves, then that will hurt our forward line, especially with a lack of good ball users in the midfield.
It's oh so easy to be critical of every trade we made, especially with hindsight.
Lobb, Colyer, Hamling, Hill, Wilson and Aish have been objectively good trades. Could even argue that we got decent value out of Matera and Kersten too for what we gave up. You cannot possibly argue that Colyer, Hamling, Hill, Wilson or Aish were bad trades. They have all improved our team. Sure, Wilson had a bad year, Hamling is struggling through injury but they've contributed a great deal over several years. Lobb fills one of the toughest spots on the field and he is objectively good in that role, sure the contract is atrocious but he is bloody important to our side.
McCarthy, Hogan and Bennell are the only ones that I'd lose any sleep over. But, with the information we had at the time we traded for them, you would be kidding yourself if you tried to pretend you wouldn't do it again. It's only with hindsight that you can say these were bad trades. It's just picking low hanging fruit.
We've drafted exceptionally well since 2016 (maybe with the exception of 2018), we have a heap of young talent and the current group we have will achieve great things. Think we've struck a decent balance between trading in mature bodies to fill needs and hitting the draft.
Our medical staff would have signed off on Hogan and Bennell wouldn't they? At least to the extent that they have issues that they are confident they can address.
The McCarthy trade remains one of our big wins putting several pieces in place for a small downgrade.

Shit eh, talk about scraping the barrel.
Think I'd rather Crowden, Switta and Schultz standing on each others shoulders instead of Frampton
