Do you break the bank for Kysiah Pickett at this point and try to pry him out (or at least try to make it harder for Melbourne to hold on to all of their players)? Another fun name to target could be Will Day.
Clayton Oliver RFA in 2023...where's the kitchen sink?It's Mids, Mids and Mids. Yes a Rankine would be handy but Rachele will be alright. It's between the 50 metre arcs where we need more class
Either would be very nice but we desperately need a genuinely AA level mid (or two)
I am thinking they had hately and dawson in mind in that regard for our midfield. Hately might be a bust but dawson should help in that regardDid we not talk excessively about this smallness / sameness in the midfield, last Draft Period ??

Yes ....just shows how important Dawson's acquisition has beenI am thinking they had hately and dawson in mind in that regard for our midfield. Hately might be a bust but dawson should help in that regard
The player on the weekend who dominated us the most was 177cm. He's also an extremely clever footballer.Did we not talk excessively about this smallness / sameness in the midfield, last Draft Period ??

Easy to find - they are usually the ones leaving our clubWe need a thread for something other than Rankine and Luko.
Having seen Brisbane torch us with their team of trades this week, I wonder where the next Neale or Lyon is?
Dawson may be that big Mid ? ....there was hope Hately could be a Jarrod Berry type as well ....hope the operative wordThe player on the weekend who dominated us the most was 177cm. He's also an extremely clever footballer.
Brisbane midfield as a unit aren't big bodied. They're just very good and experienced.
I agree we still need an elite mid or two and size is obviously a bonus, but I don't think they HAVE to be big bodied.
Hately doesn't appear to have either the drive or the hardness at the contest that Jarrod has in spades....and certainly not the penetrating kick.Dawson may be that big Mid ? ....there was hope Hately could be a Jarrod Berry type as well ....hope the operative word
Couple of times on the weekend ave paced players ran off Hately ....seems to lack power in his legsI'm looking at Hately currently as getting close to a bust, thank heavens we didn't have to pay up for him.

My guess:
I have no idea what fate awaits the other rookies. Hinge's entire 2021 campaign was wiped out by the shoulder injury, which makes his situation very hard to judge right now (I'm sure it will become clearer once the season begins). Rowe is the one with the big question marks hanging over his head - can he hold off the likes of Rachele, McAdam, and Murphy, to keep his position in the team (and thus on the list)?
- Walker to retire.
- One of Billy/Berg to be delisted (my guess would be Billy)
- Davis to be delisted.
- Gollant to be re-signed.

That Roo type player ? ......Roo though wasn't tall, but incredibly strong ....can Schoenberg be that player, in a couple of PS'sIt's pretty unlikely he's going to be that guy at the clinches. We're likely looking at a guy who's there to own the wings and capitalise on whatever hard work the inside crew does.
Nope, Roo was an Italian Stallion, Schoenberg is never going to have his raw power.That Roo type player ? ......Roo though wasn't tall, but incredibly strong ....can Schoenberg be that player, in a couple of PS's
Hately is slow, fumbly and mis-times his kicks (which leads to floating kicks with no penetration).Couple of times on the weekend ave paced players ran off Hately ....seems to lack power in his legs
Supposedly marking was Hately's #1 wood ......but ATM he's a mudlin player
