We need to trade down to accelerate this rebuild. I’m so sick of seeing the same plodders play for this club.

 

[krakouers]

Ok, for our expert panel,

Where are some mature players with pace and skills we can get?

 

[Lomas]

We need to trade down to accelerate this rebuild. I’m so sick of seeing the same plodders play for this club.

Agree, we need at least two more talls and a mid. I’d say more but we have nothing really to trade for picks.

 

[shinboner magic]

Pick at least 2 big forwards - **** picking mids every year and still get our asses handed in the middle.

 

[trooroo4life]

If there’s a way to split and/or trade other assets to ensure landing Trainor and one of Armstrong or Shanahan we should be going for it.

 

[Themanbun]

No more twigs who have no tank please.

 

[Chewy Chewman]

Another large loss to the Hawks and Tigers getting up against the Suns.

There is a genuine possibility we’ll end up with pick 1 this year…

 

[JGreezy]

Probably 2 + 22 to GC or Freo for their first 2 picks.

 

[Steele7]

Don’t really like trading future 1st as it never seems to work out And Ludowyke looks to be a gun forward in next years draft. But Armstrong is looking the goods. May worth trading next years to get another forward. And picking up FOS Armstrong &2nd pick Whitlock/Sims type

 

[The Talent Scout]

Totally agree if we could get him with our 2nd it would be fantastic.

Its unreal that this year more than any other not only do teams supporters not only have no idea who their club are zeroing in on but even in August players ranked in the top 30 could go anywhere and you would not be surprised, and puppy, if he does not go in the first round the excitement will build but I would be utterly shocked if a club didn't call out his name on draft night in the first round.

Agree Scout. I have been big on FOS all year but dam these injuries even know they are not serious i kinda 2nd guessing now just don't know who i would pick if not him. Probably Syd or Armstrong i suppose.

Dyson Sharp, the red hot favourite to be pick 1 in 2025, made his senior SANFL debut yesterday as a 17 year old and had an excellent outing in messy conditions for Central Districts. The physical side of the game just comes so naturally to Dyson and he showed it throughout by consistently out muscling and overpowering men many years his senior. He was pivotal in Central getting back into the game in the third quarter, influencing contests and hitting the scoreboard with a roost from outside 50.

 

[King Hansen]

Take the best midfielder.

Our midfield is actually shithouse.

 

[Moti]

Take the best midfielder.

Our midfield is actually shithouse.

No, take the best midfielder that has repeatable speed and 2 way running

for the love of god would the next person who feels the need to write "have to trade down" please actually present a trade or just don't bother

here's a clue, if it looks like a good trade for us, then the other club isn't gunna do it.

Let’s not go trading next year’s first just yet then.

After today's effort, which midfielder can play that old fashion centremen with a defensive bone?

In soccer/football, the type of player l want is a defensive midfielder...don't want another midfielder that just presses the button and goes forward..we have enough of them!!

Draper/FOS closely followed by Langford/Allen

 

[Flawed Genius]

Draper thanks. Looks like an animal.

 

[Masked Avenger]

Today showed if we're going down the midfielder route with Pick 2 - let's pick a bigger body.

We got monstered today around the stoppages and LDU got mauled.

No sub 183cm players for me.

It’s part of why I’ve wanted Smillie at pick 2 for so long

Libba is 182 and Treloar is 181.

They did as much of the mauling as Bont.

If anything today showed why we should have Ed Richards very high on the FA target list next season.

We got mauled because our midfield with about 300 games of experience were up against a midfield unit of roughly 800 games experience. End of.

A big bodied rookie would have made zero difference whatsoever today.

A 10 goal loss by us and a 20 point win by the Tigs will do it. It's not outside the realm by any means.
