Of course we can. Just delist and name him our captain in Sanfl

if we just delist him without any chance of playing afl he wont play for OUR sanfl side

 

[Captain Furious]

He's got a long way to go to become a starting ruck

Couldn't care less about his hit out ability - as long as he can provide a basic physical contest in the ruck. What matters is can he take a mark, kick the ball and move around the ground. From the little I've seen, he has that kind of potential.

So what’s the chances of going after Mattaes Phillipou? He’s now the only SA kid drafted interstate who was a top 10 pick in the past 10 years that hasn’t requested a trade. Should try to get him purely to dissuade other states from recruiting SA lads in the future.

I think it sends a signal, esp to non “big clubs” about the inherent risk associated with drafting top SA lads. Both Power and us will be coming hard at any elite talent taken and coming hard early in their careers.

Now I acknowledge it may very well have little impact but it doesn’t hurt IMO - and there’s no downside - for interstate list managers when they have marginal calls to make to have that lingering doubt or concern.

Glad both clubs are going very hard at every SA lad in recent years and I am quietly confident we did with Mattie’s again this year (along with Day last year, and Powers ongoing speculated interest in Pickett). NWM another candidate over the next couple of years

He does, but he's a year away from that at least.

And you do need hit-out ability, all the best have that AND the other stuff

He looks a really promising player does Toby. Getting both he and his brother are actually great ticks to our recruitment team, and if you look at how much Nick has improved since he was Toby’s age then he could end up a gem. He is also obviously taller so probably a year or two behind development wise.

His ability forward is also going to be a huge plus if he comes on, as it gives us the ability to get Tillthorpe involved in the game more if they say spend 50/50 forward and ruck. Ultimately Tillthorpe’s career will be severely limited if he spends most of it as just a tall forward.

We are also very keen on Sam Draper who is a FA next year, and he also has massive potential forward of the ball. So if we can get him, and Toby keeps improving, then we will have 3 really good options for rucking/forward going forward.

I just dunno about Draper, his good is pretty good but his bad is worse than ROB

Came to footy very late, but apart from his injury this year his trajectory has been really good. Size/power/athletisiscm combination is off the charts.

Will get even better when he realizes how bad that mullet is.

 

[Eddie Murphy]

If we were smart and ruthless we’d open a spot for a ruckman by paying out Strachan. Is definitively not playing AFL next year if we bring in a Heath or Knobel type, so makes no difference whether we cop his salary now or next year, the result is a non-AFL player on our list regardless. Would be on a dirt cheap contract too. We lose a little cap space but gain a list spot.
