Yes, it’s a sign our most recent list contract management has been very good.Looking at List and Contract Status thread, is there anything in that it looks like 17 players are OOC next year...? Is it a sign...?
To date Hollands has probably shown more than those mentioned around the mark and (IMO) there's more surety around him settling into a position at the next level, whilst admittedly not the sexy, x-factor pick that some are after, there's definite value to a consistent, two way running balanced mid, even if he's seen as being meat & potatoes/vanilla.Both.
How many levels has Hollands played at? The better TAC Cup players don’t necessarily go on to become gun AFL players - look at Dow.
I’m saying if we believe he will be available at a later selection then we’d be best served trading back and adding another early pick. Similar to Kemp in his draft year.
You can easily see why Austin wants another pick in the top 30, preferably another teen pickJust a conversation piece.
I think a lot of people are really underselling the depth of this draft.
Some Victorian players outside the Top 10-12 (so disregard Hollands for the moment) that I think could end up on lists and be solid players.
‘Jefferson
Hayes
George
Teal
‘Szybkowski
Hustwaite
Weddle
Van Es
Konstanty
Burgiel
Long
Vickery
McMullin
Knobel
Penny
…and I missed that Harvey Gallagher and there’s Clarke, Gruzewski, Harvey, Edmends, Dury, amongst others. Then there’s also a ton of WA, SA, Allies to choose from too. It’s a deeeeeeeeeeeeeep draft let’s be honest.Just a conversation piece.

That's a great way of differentiating between the three.Thinking about this some more:
- Confidence is an opinion about your abilities
- Self-esteem is an opinion about your worth
- Arrogance is an opinion about your worth compared to others
looks like penny has dropped.....Just a conversation piece.

Dom had it in spades though, and I'd love one of him.Don't think Doull was arrogant, nor Hunter, would take a couple of them right now
True but boustow and the dominator were as arrogant as they come from the same era and I think we would all love some of that.Don't think Doull was arrogant, nor Hunter, would take a couple of them right now
This is a great insight (which I also randomly but not so concisely think about), but I must admit I posted my comment firmly tongue in cheek... I'm a bit like a little kid banging the table, constantly saying, "Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen." And, as an aside, I want new players (as all players) to have that confidence (self-confidence, whatever) to think how they can bring us 17 too...Yes, it’s a sign our most recent list contract management has been very good.
A large portion of those out of contract have not performed at best 22 levels or you would argue have been overpaid based on output are coming to end of contracts. Players in this group will be moved on or get new contracts based on output - not reputation.
We’ve locked in the most important pieces to long term deals.
The exceptions are Docherty (will be straightforward contract renewal) Williams (overpaid and underperforming) Martin (was heavily front loaded - now getting paid appropriately) and TDK (our most pressing list management issue).
I hope that's not an omen.Just like Dow at 3, it seems like Hollands at 11 is firming - but for some chaos on the night in the form of a Suns return to the top 10 (second pick) or a huge slider.
Interested in Seth Campbell according to that report

I’m not nearly smart enough to pick up on nuanced humour - but all power to you, I’m definitely keen on 17 also!!This is a great insight (which I also randomly but not so concisely think about), but I must admit I posted my comment firmly tongue in cheek...

All hail Brodie Kemp. Number 17.I’m not nearly smart enough to pick up on nuanced humour - but all power to you, I’m definitely keen on 17 also!!
