Not as obvious as Smith. Murphy was selected to the end of the season.

Man, why do we always hamstring ourselves with list spotsI know via C Burgess, have a connection to him.

+ Hamill.Burgess
McHenry
Parnell
Gollant
Sloane
Himmelberg
Keane (traded)
Is this the general consensus of our delistings / probable trades?

We also can’t complain about our draw when we lose to Richmond and Essendon at homeHow was the afl supposed to know hawthorn would jump up the ladder or Melbourne and Collingwood drop down.
Our draw ended up hard but that’s too bad, the AFL can’t predict that.
Fair point, we must’ve assumed he’d be either an upgrade, or would produce close to what EH doesNot unexpected, pretty for a player to be traded on 1 year deal
Imagine if we lost ROB for the year then our back up ruck in sanfl can get thru about 45 mins of senior footy before he gets tiredIf Berg's gone, we'll need to rely on relatively rapid improvement from Turray as that backup KPF/2nd ruck
He's shown good signs, but hopefully he can be at least somewhat AFL-ready next year
I guess it's a lesson that VFL form doesn't mean much.Fair point, we must’ve assumed he’d be either an upgrade, or would produce close to what EH does
We were quite wrong
Yeah, realistically we need to find another oneImagine if we lost ROB for the year then our back up ruck in sanfl can get thru about 45 mins of senior footy before he gets tired
Then our next option could be our star key forward
Then the next guy was taken in the mid season draft and is more a forward
And wouldn’t be good for his long termYeah, realistically we need to find another one
But again, minimal list spots
You can use a Luko trade to put us in a position to draft Dodson, but he’ll likely get towelled up by most in year 1, too
love the look of him we need to get him somehow. and an experienced ruck as well.I can cop some criticism when I get something wrong but when I said nothing of the sort and get tagged in that I find a bit galling.
I'll stick by what I actually DID say, I can see no reason why Alex Dodson couldn't have input at AFL level in 2026 given at that stage he will have had 2 full pre-seasons to work on his endurance, strength and ruck craft as well as a full SANFL season playing against mature bodies. Alex Dodson is not some stringbean unco-ordinated 200cm kid needing years of development, this is a lad that already has a decent physique and extraordinary ball handling skills for a 200cm+ ruck prospect.
agree - so split out F1 into a late first this year and a late first next yearIt appears so I'd be amazed if Alex Dodson was still there at our 2nd pick, I could see a club pouncing as early as later in the 1st round.
I’m not sure what we expected when we never played him.Imagine if we lost ROB for the year then our back up ruck in sanfl can get thru about 45 mins of senior footy before he gets tired
Then our next option could be our star key forward
Then the next guy was taken in the mid season draft and is more a forward
He might, outside some draft scribe top 50's nowWe need to pray that Welsh slips to the rookie draft
You or me would be an upgrade lets face itRosas would be a damn nice upgrade on Murphy...
Pace, X factor, Skills....
