Correct. He missed 2019 - I assumed he played them all. Still 2 - and played pretty well in both

Another "short-ass" midfielder/forward but..drafted as an absolute midfielder too.
 
It's not envy more curiosity/interest. But you read that a few players have toured PAFC's facilities (and I don't have a great deal of interest in any of those names outside of Francis for steak knives)

Aside from Rankine who are we looking to bring to West Lakes this trade period? I'd like to hear us show some interest towards Francis and Caleb Poulter and ideally an explosive/powerful quality big, bodied mid (the dream). Looks like we might be fairy quite this trade period outside Rankine. Next season I think Nicks has to take a decent step up and show more or for me show him the door if the season is a fail.

According to SEN
It's Rankine and that's it.
No Michaelaney
We want to keep our picks for next year, possibly get even more if we can but clubs are reluctant to part with future picks.
 
Dont clubs have to use some picks at the draft at a minimum each year? I mean isn't there a rule that requires it
Clubs need to make a minimum 3x ND selections - but rookie upgrades count towards the total.

We need to upgrade Butts & Strachan, as both have maxxed out their time on the rookie list. Thus, we only need to make 1x selection in the ND. We can make more than that, but our minimum is 1 selection.

It's great to know that Rankine in and Frampton out is all we need to push us into the 8.....

We won't be making the 8 next year - but the core of the team which will get us there (probably in 2025) is already on our list. They just need time to develop.

I'm not sure why this is surprising to people. Lots of people spent years praying for Rankine and we finally got him and the response is "that's all?". I can understand people being a bit impatient or whatever cause we've sucked for a few years now, but there's some clear signs on what they're trying to do and it involves both bringing in more top end youth and hitting for slightly older players to add to the 22 who'll hopefully be able to give us 8-10+ years service.

It's a difficult balancing act to maintain, but with the huge list turnover in the past 2 years the numbers being moved on every year was bound to slow down eventually and the targets become more specific and less speculative through the pure numbers you're bringing in.
 
Huh? No Michalanney?

We better still be taking two picks to the draft. Using our three minimum picks as two rookie upgrades and a sole pick in the 20’s is a terrible move, in my book, when we’re still in a position where we need to keep finding talent

No issue at all getting rankine. Should be a wonderful player for us for the next decade. It would be nice to draft one of the top end mids and get one of the talls in. I quite liked what i saw of michalanney too. So if we grab rankine and thats it, it looks like a missed opportunity to add further talent whilst retaining some players that look like they wont make it

Turning down Michalanney is a bit disappointing though. If he develops into a good player, we are going to have to justify keeping dead wood rather than paying them out and creating a list spot.
