[Crow till I die]

Didn’t Hopper just sign for 2? I’m sure I just read that

it was an article from 1 year back - so still under contract but with 1 year to run

Sloane permanent pressure fwd til his wheels fall off again in rd 3.
Schoenberg and Pedlar remain mids.
Keays playing for Gold Coast.
Murph/Mcflurry playing 2s.

Yep happy.

Pedlar's a weird one. He's been played predominately forward in the SANFL. So is he only playing there because he's injured or the coaches don't believe he's suited for that midfield role?

Which then suggests did we make the right call to use pick 9 on him? Top 10 picks shouldn't be role players

I'm not sure to be honest. I don't follow the SANFL very closely but the word seems to be he hasn't the tank due to constant injury?
Oh and probably stacked.

Where are people getting the idea we are a chance for Hopper? Would love to get him but haven't seen him linked to us really anywhere except on our board. From memory there was maybe one article saying we we one of quite a few interested teams and that's all I've seen.

Resident hot tip Volbeat suggests that Hopper to Adelaide is something we're up to our necks in and has been correct a few time before regarding this type of stuff

Wasn't he like pick 11? Only other player I would have considered after his pick was Tanner Bruhn

Who incidentally is seeking a Trade back to Victoria already

Stone was another we were into, Chapman would have been nice too

I know I wanted O'Driscoll and he slipped quite a bit to the pick before Berry

future 4th round pick should do it. Please and thankyou.

That is a definite one to take with grains of salt... I have no way of knowing if it's correct, but it's feasible.

Which was confidently predicted here, I believe, should we have taken him.

Exactly!

Not familiar with the players drafted between pick 11 (Pedlar) and pick 25 (Cook), but no one screams out as a must have pick. Maybe Driscol at pick 27, but that's reaching for pick 11.

 

[DJ75]

I think we should start playing to our strengths.
Either trade our first round pick for a player each year, or trade it out for 2 picks in the 20's.

Let's face it, we have a much better strike rate in the 20's....

Powel Holmes McRae

like all those

holmes best then powel sa boy

I think Heath Chapman would have been a great pick and just what we needed

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Forget hopper, no versatility. Get Perryman he can go inside, wing or hb. Spikes first move was putting Perryman inside and he performed well in there.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I'm not sure to be honest. I don't follow the SANFL very closely but the word seems to be he hasn't the tank due to constant injury?
Oh and probably stacked.

He’s been injured and only come into fitness over the last month. Has been given bursts in the middle over the past few games and looked particularly explosive in there last game.

Thanks mate,

Can you see him as a full time mid in the future or will he always be a pinch hitter?

Highlights what a bargain Berry is, would be close to top 10 based on output so far.

Heath Chapman has already established himself in Fremantle's backline. Jake Bowey a premiership player.

But overall a fair point.

Heath Chapman a gun in the making and also Oliver Henry looks special

Henry about to pushed out by Collingwood to afford all their stars

[GROTTO]

Really upset we didnt get Ash Johnson, especially given he was in SA too.

 

[GROTTO]

What will we get for him do you think? 2nd rounder?
