But my point is bringing in Hayward means they get more full time mids rather than shoving Soligo or Rankine up forward.
I don't actually want Hayward to go but people saying it makes no sense aren't really looking at it properly.

I am far from counting Rankine as a midfielder his last 5 weeks have has 2 good midfield games, one last week and one against Carlton from memory. Soligo goes into the middle but they will need a stack more genuine ball winning midfielders, HF burst mids are not going to work. Our midfield is on the lower end in terms of ball winners and we have elite kicks to get around that. They need ball winners, a McCluggage or a LDU or someone who can genuinely play in the middle all day every day.
But I hope the Crows fill their side with half forwards, they will be perenial 8th to 12th finishing

Extract from The Hun:
Trainor aside, most of the top-10 picks this year are likely to be used on midfielder, with many of them set to come from Victoria.
Recruiters believe there could be a little more depth of talent in this draft compared to last year, where the top dozen prospects were largely agreed upon and there were mixed views on the rest after that.
and then:
A raft of northern academy and Next Generation Academy prospects are also worth keeping an eye on, including Sam Marshall (Brisbane Lions), Isaac Kako and Jayden Nguyen (both Essendon), Leonardo Lombard (Gold Coast), Logan Smith (GWS), Ricky Mentha (Melbourne), Joel Cochran (Sydney) and Malakai Champion (West Coast).
All those players made the cut in the top 75 draft prospects for 2024, which has been compiled exclusively for this masthead by veteran AFL talent ambassador Kevin Sheehan.

Yep in generall this will be a small draft which becomes a huge problem for a couple of sides especially North who need key talls. It is probably half the reason we took the ruckman last year too

It wasnt a comment directly responding to your Battle enquiry TT - more just a slightly snarky observation in regards the flood of “player x is worth a look” comments that appear every year on this thread (which is my 2nd favourite thread, behind only Sack Hinkley 10!).
In answer to your query - my personal view - Battle is an upgrade on Hamling (due mainly to Hamling’s age), but not sure he’s a better option than Francis.
There’s a natural human tendency to think the grass is greener & players at other clubs are untapped talents. But there’s bugger all green grass at St Kilda (other than Wanganeen Milera).

Not entirely fair. I’d love Mitch Owens on our list and I suspect he’d be getting a game for us now (but don’t ask me to nominate at whose expense).
I also think Windhager will be a solid long term player for them, and Philippou could be a super player in the future (but has a way to go and might not reach those heights).

The 1st named Harry Armstrong is from my club , waiting for school footy finished to slot the kid in , good family .
Hey Bedders, as you can access this list, is Liam George listed and if so, at what number?
No he's not
Hmmm. Thanks. He is 18 and playing for Richmond VFL.
Seems a lot for a full back. AFL player salaries are getting out of hand.
Ross hates his list

Weitering's already fallen for one scam. Hopefully he doesn't fall for this one, too.

He’d need a pay rise with the amount of time the ball spends in the Saints defence

Re. the Weitering St Kilda offer
Sometimes I don't think it is in the player's best interest to go to a underperforming club as presumably the highest paid player in the game. Because you are under more scrutiny if the club struggles.
