Analysis 2021 trade thread

[mpal6]

I've still got a couple reservations on Madden but for him to have played senior footy already is a great sign and he was doing it of mainly athleticism which is pretty impressive.

I was very impressed with a mark he took in one of the games with opposition literally hanging off him. I wasn't expecting that from him at all. Gets a bit lost in traffic but has skillset in areas we lack overall. Pace is electric, just need to pump games into him like we did for Keidean this season. I have high hopes for Madden in 2022.

 

[Daniels Riches]

That’s how I felt once our season ended but I’ve come around to thinking we need to try and get a point of difference in our midfield and someone like Starce could be that. I know it’s very unlikely but having watched Petracca and Oliver during this finals series if we have even the slightest chance to have someone like Starce develop into that we need to at least try it. I also think a fully fit Answerth, Coleman and Prior could and should be in our best 22 and this move opens more spots in their preferred position.

Agree that we need to try and add something different to the midfield mix, but don't think it should be Starce. If it's very unlikely as you said that he reaches Trac levels, I simply don't think it would be worth it. There are other blokes we can trial through the mid. We know he can perform his role at a very high level and can shut down some of the most dangerous smalls in the comp. 4th in the B&F also suggest that the coaches really rate him in the role. He has the potential to be elite for his current position, so hope he continues to grow down back.

That is my fear too, would love to be wrong though

He should be back in time for finals (assuming we play finals obviously). ACLs take 9-12 months to fully recover from.

 

[Dalions]

Not a fan of Casboult (because of injury rumours and anti-vaxxer wife) or Cox because he's too similar to Oscar not mobile enough or good enough in the ruck.

Fort is a bit older than I would've like but probably has similar ability to Fullarton as a forward but is a much better ruck.

Oscar/Fort would be a decent ruck combination until Hippy is fit.

Fort is definitely my pick of the bunch.

 

[blueiris]

Ladhams would be my pick but he’s apparently linked to Carlton under Voss

 

[Tom14]

We couldn't afford Ladhams.

Don't think he'd be worth the money or the trade if hes not going to be best 22

Wish I could find the audio of the surgeon who did the acl operation on Elijah Hollands.

If we ant a big body in the midfield why not try someone like Mc Stay.I know it sounds weird but we played JB as a midfielder one season with great success before osteitis pubis ruined his season. Short bursts , carve a few pathways.

Nothing like a bit of healthy competition for Oscar though.
He doesn’t have that at the moment, until someone like Lane develops.

 

[Sproj]

Casboult let slip a couple of times going up north so who is the best fit from clubs up north?

 

[Flossie32]

It’s interesting how much Levi is in the media lately, to keep the conversation around him I suppose.
there must be some strong interest though- but with a family of 3 kids and a wife I’m sure they are keen to sort out their future living and working arrangements sooner than later.

We are already short on tall forwards with Hipwood out. Can’t sacrifice McStay.

Who ever is willing to pay him.

Certainly sounded like he’s up for a sea change.

People crack me up..... Anti vaxxer wife hey. I guess that's it then. Can't have that anywhere near the club. I wonder if we should interview the entire playing group, families and staff, and if anyone admits to that heinous crime we expose them and sack them on the spot.

Just for the record I get my second jab tomorrow.

The anti Vax thing is a genuine worry. It brings some pretty bad PR to the club. No point adding more fuel to the fire if we can avoid it.

For some people (especially those with young families) it’s a legitimate concern.

Will be interesting to see what the leagues formal stance is, once they announce it.

Would absolutely guarantee there would be people attached to the club already with those beliefs.

Bit tough to extend it to families but I wouldn't let anyone into the club who isn't fully vaccinated. Especially if you can't fly without being vaccinated

The NBA is seeing some interesting times at the moment regarding vaccinations. It's not mandated (like it's thought the AFL won't) but there are significant incentives to get vaccinated (or more so disadvantages to not being vaccinated).

NBA vaccination controversy: What you need to know about league's policy

NBA training camps opened Monday with media day, and a big topic of conversation was unvaccinated players. Here's what you need to know on the subject.

I think most workplaces will introduce something similar. The issue will be in Australia with travelling next year might not be possible without being vaccinated.

Probably won't be able to attend games unless you're vaccinated

Bit of rumours about Max Lynch, 200cm Collingwood yet to be given a contract offer. Hard for him to get a regular spot at the Pies with Grundy, Darcy Cameron

in front of him. Watched his debut against us last year and thought he rucked well. Showed a bit this year against Melbourne, Grundy was sidelined with a neck injury. Took his opportunity and rucked and position well, beating Gawn's with 23 hit-outs to 20...

Would absolutely guarantee there would be people attached to the club already with those beliefs.

Not sure how you could guarantee that? About 2-3% of the population (a lot of polling is done on this) is actually anti vax rather than hesitant. More highly represented in certain populations. A professional sporting team that gets told a lot about medicine / sports science, and with players getting jabs for all kind of things, would be less likely to be anti vax. And the afl is about to announce a vaccine policy from the sounds of things that could limit what players can do.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Listen to Rayner describe Hipwood’s acl injury. From the 28:15 mark.

He wrecked more than his ACL. It was a nasty one.

Isn’t a meniscus normally 12 or so weeks? Would it not be well and truely healed in 12 months or that too simplistic?
