? Massive overs if true?

 

[GROTTO]

Today is Spin Day - the day the bots work overtime telling us how great the club did in

• promoting organic growth
• building a war chest
• how many targets we aimed for

CLuB Is GraTe

We still have the Tippett warchest.

I doubt it.

[Hodgy]

There is exponentially more value in a key forward than a key back IMO.

I wonder if it is a bit of insurance if Thilly doesn't come on either?

Both Melbourne and Collingwood have won a flag in the last 3 years with star Key Defenders and no key forwards to speak of. May, Lever and Darcy Moore are as important to those sides as any key forward to theirs.

Looked it up. No.
He’s joining GWS as a DFA.

I genuinely can't believe any club would even consider signing him. Any list manager that floats the idea should be immediately fired.
He's an ok player when at his best, but he's never fit enough to play (and never will be).

Every year he thinks Port have won trade week and is the premiership favourite.
Somehow when they fail in the finals, he doesn't think it was a failure though. They weren't expected to win.

He's a joke.

Would Port bringing in Soldo have made Jordan Sweet change his mind about the filth? Because if we could get him he would probably be an upgrade on ROB. O’Brien gives his all, but it is such an important position and he just doesn’t have the athleticism to dominate as we need. It’s the most pressing area on our list to upgrade in my view.

Not really

In the context of trade period yes. I tend to agree.

However, We upgraded to another 1st round pick. Which means we are about to hit the draft and gain 3 top end players who could all make immediate impacts.

Although we lost two best 22 players Doedee and McAdam, I feel the Crows stayed true to a strategy. They didnt panic buy C grade fringe players to fill positions using our value picks. We may have lost the battle of trade week and will take a bit of a hit on our best 22 experience next year but because we stayed true to our draft pick value we will get it back in spades long term. At least we chased high end targets and not as I said, do a Port.

Long term planning gets an A.

Both are just younger trash ruckman. Replacing a Trash older ruckman. Port are not scoring well in this area. lol.

Wasn't he one of the missing pieces?

 

[adelaidecrows]

For a team full of missing pieces their squad is about to full of a cliff.

 

[StickerMan]

Wasn't he one of the missing pieces?

Indeed.

Seems this year they have found a few more missing pieces under the couch.

Still, they won't complete the puzzle.

And we're all here for it!

Soldo is probably the best player Port are bringing in this trade period

 

[adelaidecrows]

Soldo is probably the best player Port are bringing in this trade period

And that statement alone is whats wrong with Ports trading this period. If Soldo is the best one coming in your in trouble.

 

[cleanhands]

Unfortunately he was missing a few pieces

 

[skam85]

Wild that we got so much less for a player we wanted to keep
