GAJ, Hawkins,Scarlett,NAJ

Then thrown in Danger, Cameron who would be arguably the best 2 recruits in the last 20 years (with Buddy)

Amazing drafting in the early/mid 2000’s that kept them up the top for a decade

It’s impressive

Yeah, they've found a way to ride the wave of success and stock up on talent without ever bottoming out. They're an impressive club.

Would this work. If Smith goes to Geelong, I would look at trading Pk 25 to Geelong for Parfitt.
Would be better to pay out Smith imo... if he has reached his trigger clause.
 
Kornes. : “Adelaide should have a crack @ Chris Scott , his wife is from Adelaide isn’t she” ?

Discussion with Mitch Cleary on Scott’s coaching future.
 
Retired 13 years ago. Only played one year with Chris Scott as his coach - hell, he's only four years younger than Scott!

Geelong have been very successful under Chris Scott, and other than Brad Ottens last year before retiring he's never had a decent ruckman or strong early picks.
Opinions change frequently .....Scott inherited the team Bomber Thompson built, and has been criticised for always being the bridesmaid in Finals, with very good sides

Their talent identification & nurturing though is 2nd to none .....they do however keep their young players in the VFL longer than a lot of sides, so when they come in, they can play the Geel way .....Adelaide fans would hit the roof if we took the same approach

Mannagh sat in the VFL all year, along with Humphries .....both killing it in the VFL
Shannon Neal has been fleetingly played, 19 games in 4 years ....he's ready to take over as a KPF
Bruhn and Jye Clark have been managed in their development beautifully .....both very low TOG

Wouldn't Scott more likely be the Fagan replacement at BRIS in a couple of years ?

We should absolutely, can’t see why he’d leave though.
 
Let's talk about Ruckmen moving forward. I disagree with quite a few posters here that we need to draft a young ruckmen in the National Draft. I believe we trade for someone ready to break through.

My vision is we re-sign ROB soon or early in 2025 as he becomes an Unrestricted Free Agent. He is rated as elite in Hit-outs and Hit-outs to advantage. I think the awkward kicking style detracts from how people rate ROB.

Strachan keep for 2025 as contracted but do not re-sign. Start now now for conversations for players we want to trade for.
My list does not include Draper from Essendon. There is room for only 1 Draper at the Crows and that is at Pick 4.

Henry Smith - Brisbane currently 3rd choice behind McInerney and Fort. While Smith played 4 games in 2024. Contracted to end of 2026. He is 21yr old about to turn 22 yr old. 206 cm and Brisbane Profile below:

"The South Australian is a ruckman in the mould of Oscar McInerney who can also trouble defences with his marking when stationed deep forward. Smith is also a very reliable shot at goal. The 18-year-old, taken with the Lions’ third pick in the 2020 NAB AFL draft (48), played Colts at SANFL club Woodville-West Torrens but has filled out rapidly over the past 12 months and at 100kgs, is now physically ready for senior football."

Nick Madden - GWS signed to 2026. A 20 yr old 204 cm 112 kg with no AFL games. Currently 4th choice behind Briggs, Preuss, Keefe and with Academy Top Ruck prospect Logan Smith for 2024 Draft to be included. He is contracted to end of 2026 and find Madden's GWS profile below:

"A rookie selection in 2022, Nick Madden is a 204cm, 112kg ruckman who is an imposing figure and a strong marking target. A GIANTS Academy product from the Riverina, Madden is developing his ruck craft with coach Shane Mumford and played consistent football throughout the VFL in season 2023 to continue to develop his game."

Kalin Lane - Brisbane he is currently injured with ACL late Jun 24. Out of contract this year. Lane is Brisbane's 4th Ruck choice behind McInerney, Fort and Smith. A 22 yr old 205 cm. Find his Brisbane Profile below:

"Another former basketballer to find his way onto the Lions’ list. Lane knocked back a US college scholarship as a teenager to focus on footy and has steadily developed since then. Hailing from south-west West Australia, he played senior country footy in his teens before heading to Perth to further his development. The 205cm ruckman was selected by the Lions in the 2021 mid-season draft after showing encouraging signs for Claremont in the WAFL. After playing two season in the Lions VFL side, Lane continues to develop his ruck craft and will be looking to take off in 2024."

2021 MSD rating by Rookie Me Central

14. Kalin Lane (Claremont)
Ruck | 5/12/01 | 204cm | 95kg

One of the many rucks taken in this draft, Lane is right at the top end of that list when it comes to rate of development. He shot into contention last year and was part the Claremont side which qualified for the WAFL Colts grand final, before continuing his rise in the Reserves this season and even earning a League berth. Averaging 14 disposals and 29 hitouts per game, Lane has improved his impact around the ground and uses his imposing frame to good effect, while boasting the obvious ruck craft trait. He may be considered a long-term option, but bolsters Brisbane’s tall stocks.

Kane doesn’t miss an opportunity to deflect away from Pear, the fact that he can do
it while having a little crack at Adelaide and include truth so you can’t rebuff is actually very
good. 😂

Funny you say that, I just turned it on and he was talking about port and how it’s awkward with Hinkley and Carr

What?
Pick 25 in a very strong and deep draft for a player that can't get a regular AFL game.
 
How do you feel about the rumours we might be giving it up for ANB? You surely must be fuming. I am.
I'm not fuming but I would be hopeful if we're giving up pick 25 we are getting a pick back from the Dees preferably pick 38.

Edit*
I will be fuming if pick 4 is put on the table in any way shape or form to bring in Luko. This is really almost the 1st time we've had access at a point where we can bring in a top end midfield talent in recent years.

The chart shows in green those players to have nominated Clubs ....Smith is in Green, so he must have sent out a telegram
Nope, Smith has not yet nominated a club, though it’s fair to suspect he’s going to the Cattery

Like why is someone like Liam Baker in green for two clubs?

i dont think they're that dumb to give away pick 4. F1 however is gone if luko coming to us
