That’s because Sheezel was a jet forward. Turns out he is a jet wherever he plays

Correct. But this is the point right.

It’s the attributes that determine ok can he be a mid.

not necessarily proven consistant midfield work.

The games clubs play, there is no way he should be rated that high. A bid at that point would be a strategic move to take us out of using pick #32 or pay back for SOS's past sins.

Kako 15 Lombard 11.

Clubs play the game. Which is why the likes of Twomey and the herald sun have been talking cole up around p30

Lindsay is late teens

I can be more specific.

Eight-teens

Pretty pumped that no one is talking up Hoffmann to be honest. 3rd fastest over 20m in the country. Good size, good mark and elite kicking. He’s gonna be a steal

What sound does a waterfall make?




Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I’d rather keep 7 & 8 but what do I know eh

It will depend on what happens by pick 7.
I think playing around with pick 8 is going to be a last minute decision depending who’s still on the board.
I’m happy with that.
No need to do anything early. Just sit back and wait. And I think that’s what we’ll do.

Unless, of course we are absolutely desperate to get#2 pick.

Hey JB. Why is it a loser attitude? Its actual fact. The Higgins kick moved us from 5&6 to 7&8.

Let’s not pretend it didn’t. And let’s not pretend that win will significantly change our culture.

I wanted us to win that game as much as anyone. But it may well prove costly. It also may not. Nothing to do with loser mentality.

I don’t think it’s as simple as that. The AFL FA compo herbs and spices could consider all sorts of things. If we dont put up our best effort against Carlton because we want a lower pick, and the compo for battle is looking like pick 6 the do they AFL look a bit more harshly on us? Imagine the outrage from other clubs is we had 5 & 6?

Instead, we held up our end of the bargain. Didn’t tank, gave them a great exciting game in round 23 instead of a dead rubber, fought hard to keep battle (offered him more money than hawks instead of pushing him out the door because of the compo).

Taking into account of Ashcroft, Lombard, and Kako our picks now could be 10 & 11. But if we had’ve turned up our toes in rnd23. The AFL may have thought “stuff these guys, pick 6 compo is too much given what they served up”. Then we end up with 6 (accounting for Ashcroft being bid on only) and 21, instead of what we have now.

Plus all the other intangibles, culture, enthusiasm, belief for 2025. Take the win, be a serious team every time you head out there.

Hey guys, seen a few suggestions from you guys trading pick 8 for our 10 & 18. No way we do that.

Ok then

Source? or just your opinion

Could see 8 + F2 for 10 + 18 easily being done

Wow we have the list manager on BF. We had the Bulldogs list manager on during the trade telling us they would never accept pick 45 for Macrae as well.

We are just going to wait for all the first rounders you pick this draft to come into free agency at the same time.

With all due respect, genuinely no one asked.

There’s no way FOS slides to 6, you don’t need to go around trying to talk him down to everyone

I just like FOS. Always rated top few, even while injured. I watched that Zebs vs Rich VFL game and was amazed at, even with low stats, how he made our players look ordinary with his stepping and pure skills. Jagga played the same game and killed the stats, but only one of them looked special. Get him fit and he looks a level above. Will be intersting to see how our recruiters view things...
