We need to develop the next generation. Besides have you seen Andersons game with Boxhill this year? Dude is hard at it, remind me of how nuke started at Boxhill early on.

He will start as a small pressure forward given his love to tackle and we need that given we delisted 2 and butler is injured and more importantly not a small forward.

He's as tough as any kid I've seen.

Still think Butler could make it but as a midfielder in the Zac butters mould, would add a different type in there if he could.

I'd like to see him if his leg is strong enough to train with the midfield group over summer, in what could be his last shot at the club.

You need to keep recruiting and developing mids. Any kid we take this year might not peak until Nash and Worpel are 30. From 2009 til 2017 we were unable to draft a best 22 calibre mid and we paid for it eventually.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Yep, keep drafting talent. I think we're ok for defenders , rucks and medium size frwds, but need to still stock up on at least 1 inside mid and a kpf through the next three drafts. I'd rather not trade unless a A grade star is available. Concentrate on FA's and the draft.

And even then they would fail, I feel.

They have nothing to lean back on. No history of success. No big or marquee MCG games. No well documented culture. No big rivalry.

They’re just irrelevant and when they are competing for the same players that clubs like Carlton, Collingwood, Hawthorn and Geelong are they will almost always lose out.

I don’t think their Chairman coming out and having a whinge session at the B&F about how they can’t compete with other clubs because they don’t have the talent, can’t access the talent and the league is so unfair would help them in any way with trying to sell potential recruits either. That to me was a real bonehead move. Literally announcing that they’ve given up unless the AFL given them a leg up… which they then did.

And god forbid you ever try to leave, they’ll revoke your invitation to the bnf and spit at you on the way out
