Why is everyone talking about Phillipou anyway? He's contracted until the end of 2026.
The fact we still haven't drafted one gun mid with a top 5 pick, after 6 years of being near the bottom of the ladder, tells you everything you need to know about our drafting and our list build. All good sides are built around their midfield, the easiest way to bring in elite midfield talent is through the top end of the draft.Well we also messed up Galluci. And we lost two first round tips and whatever Tippet himself was worth. So that's at least 3 more.
And Mchenry.
And Cook and Jones and Milera I guess, but I have hope still with those guys.
So we've had what, like 15 first round picks in the last 12 years, 3 of which were taken away and 3 more are barf, and another 3 are dubious.
Go crows.
I have been saying the same about North for the last few years, but they keep taking mids with their early picks. With the big group of quality mids available this year around the top 10, I'm assuming they will take another this year like they do every year.Thinking about this a bit more, if I was gold coast I'd be looking at north's pick too. North don't need another mid, but 2 x picks for key position players in the top 10ish would be ideal for them
Or even richmond. This could well be the year to trade down and cash in the gold coast needing a top 2-3 pick.

Was looking very attainable while he was playing VFL after multiple single digit possession games. Now that he's gone and torn apart the best team and midfield in the game...not so much.All part of supporting the AFC. Longing for the unattainable.
We'd have to pay most of his salary to move him on. No club is taking him and his salary...unless we Bowes him maybeOnly team that may be vaguely interested in Laird would be Geelong with Danger talking up his old mate.
What would we get for Laird?
Surely he's worth a bit - dual AA, stats out the wazoo for 5+ years. Getting older, but he's got 3+ years in him still.

He would have been front loaded - thats why he is coastingWe'd have to pay most of his salary to move him on. No club is taking him and his salary...unless we Bowes him maybe
Don't forget the Bryce Gibbs trade.Well we also messed up Galluci. And we lost two first round tips and whatever Tippet himself was worth. So that's at least 3 more.

There are always some ripper’s but I reckon this one is the best. He was born around Nimbin , one of a fairly decent litter to Pronouns unknown Brain on Friday the 13th so his First name pronounced “Shadow” means unlucky in some language.As a father or two I'm usually very 'each to their own' when it comes to this sort of thing, but who the heck names their child "Jevan"?!
They started out ok, then obviously drugs got to them by the end with a blip in the middle.There are always some ripper’s but I reckon this one is the best.

Not sure contracts mean that much now which is why we are seeing these 9 year deals.Why is everyone talking about Phillipou anyway? He's contracted until the end of 2026.
Lots of clubs willingly trade away contracted, young talent whose retention is crucial to the ongoing success of the teamWhy is everyone talking about Phillipou anyway? He's contracted until the end of 2026.
Someone already did this previously, but….There are always some ripper’s but I reckon this one is the best. He was born around Nimbin , one of a fairly decent litter to Pronouns unknown Brain on Friday the 13th so his First name pronounced “Shadow” means unlucky in some language.

Not sure that’s totally fair mate. Firstly we have haven’t had may top 5 picks.The fact we still haven't drafted one gun mid with a top 5 pick, after 6 years of being near the bottom of the ladder, tells you everything you need to know about our drafting and our list build. All good sides are built around their midfield, the easiest way to bring in elite midfield talent is through the top end of the draft.
We haven't prioritised our midfield, but have somehow managed to ignore other areas of the team too (ruck, small forwards). Add all this to the Mcasey and Galluci first round disasters and it's hard to understand how we haven't changed our head recruiter in so long.
We need to approach a Philippou, Anderson or Callaghan with a 7/8 year x 1.25m type offer. Get them to request out of their club and then we pony up the picks.Was looking very attainable while he was playing VFL after multiple single digit possession games. Now that he's gone and torn apart the best team and midfield in the game...not so much.
Trying to help nurture some right brained traits into kids and sending them to primary school in one of Byrons very popular Steiner schools these sorts of names are standard - if anything on the moderate side. Try Ziggy Love, Happi, Ocean, Smilli, Basil, Otis, Finojet (one of Ozs popular musicians in the last couple of decades sons). And these were all basically from the one class..There are always some ripper’s but I reckon this one is the best.

Feels like we've heard that every year for the last 6 yearsIt’s been said before but apparently Jack Graham is on his way back to SA next year. Who did the Power burn him for and should we have any interest?

He got moved to half back as I recall he did some very shitty turnovers and then got moved back into midfield when M.Crouch got injured, most of us were expecting Rachele to continue from this midfield development at the start of last year and take his midfield minute for the rest of the year.You know that’s not true, please stop pretending it is
Ah the ole Jack Graham rumor does its annual resurface. He's one of those players that you can watch a whole game and not even notice they're playing. Pops up for his 15 uneventful possessions and not much more. Is he an upgrade on some of our list? Sure. Is he worth shelling out a draft pick for that minor upgrade? Don't think so.It’s been said before but apparently Jack Graham is on his way back to SA next year. Who did the Power burn him for and should we have any interest?
