Who does? This Sam Faff character?
Wouldn't say I'm 'triggered', just encouraging folks not to read too much into a Twitter troll's account.
Or do. Gotta do something to pass the time.
A 'tall-forward/2nd Ruck', needs to be really good below his knees, with the agility of L Jackson.IF you need a forward Ruck and don’t want to trade for Lobb. Tim English is more a forward than a ruck and is a FA. He is serviceable in the ruck but should be playing forward.
Clubs getting busy, prior to the map of Van Demons Land comes into picture.I sense a lot of talls getting shifted and moved this year.
Personally think he's having a pretty good year.That deal is already up?
Probably a good time to give him another few years. Hasn’t been in great form but I still rate him as one of the better wingers going around.

Yeh that’s fair. Not his best but we are playing through the other wing a lot. His last 6 weeks or so have been better than his start too.Personally think he's having a pretty good year.
From Melbourne he's not going anywhere.Yeh that’s fair. Not his best but we are playing through the other wing a lot. His last 6 weeks or so have been better than his start too.
Can’t see him being wrestled away by a big contract elsewhere though.
2014-15: Ben McEvoy 200cms, David Hale 201cms,A short history of the last 10 premiership side’s ruckmen:
2014-15: Ben McEvoy/David Hale
2016: Tom Boyd/Jordan Roughead
2017, 19-20: Toby Nankervis/Shaun Grigg
2018: Scott Lycett/Nathan Vardy
2021: Max Gawn/Luke Jackson
2022: Rhys Stanley
2023: Darcy Cameron/Mason Cox
Gawn’s been great but decent ruckmen aren’t terribly hard to unearth.
I reckon we need a couple of elite Mids from the draft; plus that tall follower.We need a decent KPP (ideally a forward) and another well rounded mid with a bit of pace.
If we can nail that before Tassie come in we’ll have done well.
L Jackson is more your follower type. Just what we need about now.There is almost nothing dumber than using a top pick on a ruckman, either in the draft or via trade, when 3-4 of them go for a third rounder every trade period.
Jackson the obvious exception to the rule
I was trying to be realistic as to what we might be lucky to actually pull off in the next 18 months.I reckon we need a couple of elite Mids from the draft; plus that tall follower.
And a specialist hff.
Like the Dons took Archie Perkins.
Reckon a KPD is a much bigger priority than a KPF at this point tbhI was trying to be realistic as to what we might be lucky to actually pull off in the next 18 months.
Ideally we get a KPF, small forward and 2 x hard running mids with good foot skills.. but I can’t see that happening in 1 or 2 drafts unless we finish right down the bottom and are able to trade out Clarry for a solid pick.

May and McDonald have a year left at best though, Tomlinson a FA so probably goes, Petty could be gone too (and the club insists on playing him as a forward), Turner when he plays back is more of a third tall and Adams is still a bit of a project that's no guarantee to make it.May, McDonald, Lever, Tomlinson, Petty, Turner, Adams... reckon we've got plenty of KPD options.

No way - we have nobody to work with JVR and we can still hope that Pettys career hasn’t been ruined and he can be a good tall defender.Reckon a KPD is a much bigger priority than a KPF at this point tbh
But at least we have JVR though. And some competent mid-sized forwards. TMac and May will be gone by the end of next year, and every chance Tomlinson and Petty will be too.No way - we have nobody to work with JVR and we can still hope that Pettys career hasn’t been ruined and he can be a good tall defender.
Way more. Jefferson is about a year ahead.Honestly, Jefferson has showed more AFL traits than Adams at this point, too.
