If FOS has a big finish to the season I can see why, he'd fit our midfield perfectlyI’m struggling with the logic behind why we would do this? Where has this been mentioned
It's a hard one, because I feel like another year of development would be beneficial for Hotton. However, list spots are going to be at a premium as we continue to revamp the list on the fly.
Out of the 'in trouble' senior midfielders (Crouch, Ross and Jones), the latter is the most likely to survive. But I think the last fortnight needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. If Jones stays, its a one-year deal on absolute peanuts.
Ross probably has Jones covered from a leadership perspective but Jones has him well covered from an on-field impact perspective. They seem to have simplified Jones role and given him clear guardrails. I.e. prioritise the releasing handball and if forced to kick, hit up short options. Do not try to run and take it on and don’t try for 55m passesNot sure about that, we have about 18 uncontracted players and with Crouch and Ross almost done, having a midfielder who has only played about 15-18 games for us in two years still on the roster may be a wise move.
Agree on Jones. I would not take Jones form with a pinch of salt though. It is what I expected of him when he was recruited. He needs to stay injury free for the remainer of the year though. If so I think he will be on the list next year.
Berry's recent shift into the midfield has given draft watchers a lot to think about. He's not a prolific clearance winner at this stage, but his elite evasive skills allow him to navigate traffic from inside to out and convert stoppage wins by his team into damaging possessions. He still splits his time between midfield and his old forward role, and remains one of the most damaging players in this years pool inside the forward 50.
If we can’t get Draper, I’d love Travaglia with one of our picks. Starting to play midfield at CTL level. Looked awesome in the Champs final.

I just wish we would re-sign him long term.I'm not old enough to have watched Winmar live, but it is worth noting that Nas has already played 59 games and is still about a month younger than Winmar when he debuted in 1987.
Someone today on SEN was emphatic that Battle will re sign today and it will be announced on Monday. Brian ....So I am hearing that if we end up with 5 and 6 (FA compensation) that we will try and turn that into 1 and a later first from 10 onwards. Do you think thats a good idea?

Take it with a grain of salt. Someone also said he is leaving so take that with a grain of salt tooSomeone today on SEN was emphatic that Battle will re sign today and it will be announced on Monday. Brian ....
Well whether Someone #1 is right or wrong will be known on Monday whereas the accuracy or otherwise of Someone #2 may not be known until after the season concludes.Take it with a grain of salt. Someone also said he is leaving so take that with a grain of salt too

If FOS finishes big then he won't slide to us, he'd even be ahead of Jagga if he returns to his form of the past 2 yearsGenuinely could fall through to us still anyway. If Jagga goes at one there is every chance that he could slide through. North would be very keen to get hold of Trainor. Draper to the Crows seems likely. One of Smilie or FOS are definitely a chance. WC is the probably the one who chooses between them and we get the scraps in that scenario.
No not yet.Noob, have you got a Jesse Dattoli vid?
All good. I heard Collingwood are coming really hard late with a million +Take it with a grain of salt. Someone also said he is leaving so take that with a grain of salt too
This is from TwomeyNo not yet.
I don't have Dattoli super high in the rankings myself, but I'll do one if he has an outstanding performance or there's just a huge demand for it.
Sure, and good luck to Cal. No disrespect at all. I'm just not seeing it in quite the same way at this stage.This is from Twomey

ZzzzzTalking about drafts… having a good look at Bontimpelli tonight.
Have to say, I think Saints made absolutely the right call with drafting Billings ahead of Bont. I know a lot of uneducated Saints supporters think otherwise but Bontimpelli would have completely destroyed the culture and very fabric of the mighty StKilda football club. His super clean hands, brilliant disposal, strength in contests and sublime decision making is the absolute antithesis of everything we stand for.
Let’s hope we don’t pick up any of these brilliant types in this year’s draft.
I guess winning means Battle potentially stays, bird in the hand etc etc etcThanks Gold Coast, now we're gonna end up with pick 6 which is objectively the worst pick to have in the top 10. And Battle is gonna re-sign so no compo pick. Another wasted year both on and off the field![]()
I'm the opposite. I think FoS is the exact type of player we need.Sorry to be a drag down but if we ended up with FoS and Lalor, that would be the worst of all the combo scenarios.
That would be on a par with Coffield and Clark.
Langford is miles ahead of Lalor IMO. Would rather Reid over Lalor. My opinion of course.
We need for Adelaide to get ahead of us. Really want a crack at Draper.
