think we could have also gotten in that 3 way trade but somehow cats got in there instead of us with blues and dogsSmith went for 17
Macrae went for 45
His value is probably middle of that
Future 3rd and swap of future 4ths - something in that realm
yeah pretty impressiveSo much for that MASS EXODUS![]()
I don’t reckon we needed him.Daniel ain’t breaking the lines. He is a nice kick but he ain’t the most penetrating of kicks. Sure he will retain the pill but will he cut through the opposition’s zone? Also he ain’t that quick. Plus defensively he ain’t that good. You may call it ballsy. I call it buckling. We overpaid and now our draft hand is ordinary. Plus we have a number of half back flankers on the list. Goater, Hardiman, Bergman, Fischer and McDonald. Did we really need him? :stern look

Good player and a devout north man - could do with more Makepeace's in the worldI confess, I keep seeing your username and wishing he was on here![]()
Sure, as a junior ... Let's wait and see he goes in the AFL.Hannaford could be anything and his intensity is manic. Much better skills and can play anywhere on the ground.
Konstanty, from what I have seen, is more of a defensive forward. Good pressure but not so much of an offensive threat.
Who the **** hung shit on Colby?Honestly, the amount of people on here that are mouth pieces for the club is hilarious.
They must simply look at Wikipedia and see an All Australian Jacket and Best and Fairest from checks 5 years ago next season. Ben Brown was a Coleman medal contender only 1 season removed, that's how long ago that was.
Daniel averages 13 meters per disposal. 13.
Some people are making out like he's Darren Jarman. LMAC had a better kicking efficiency and effective kick ratio than he did last season and he moved the ball a hell of a lot further per disposal. I'll have to re-check some of the dumps during the year, but I believe he was listed throughout the year in CD's worst kicks vs expected kick rating on some week to week analysis'.
And people loved to hang shit on Colby on this board at periods of last season. Their reactions are going to be fairly comical when they discover Daniel moves the ball 40% less per possession than Colby, who some hung a heap of shit on for his give and goes and chip kicks.
He doesn't run with the ball, he is a spot up mark/kick type that is a complete defensive liability that opposition sides actively try to make the 3rd forward and medium forward mismatch against. It's why the Dogs replaced him with a few fringe VFL types who actually can break zone defences and defend in the air.
And he's joining one of the worst defences in the league, what could go wrong?
He's also 29 years old in the middle of next season and has got progressively worse year on year since his peak in 2020 as that AA/B&F winner.
The fact he was also on $1,500,000 over the next two seasons, is 29 years old next year, in the Dogs VFL team or a sub for much of the year and the evenness of this draft, makes this the absolute deal of the century for them. Twomey is absolutely spot on. A salary dump for a fringe player on a back ended deal, who has been on a year on year decline for 4 years and not at all required anymore and been replaced, is just...
I was never apposed to his recruitment, if the price was right. IF the price was right, He's a fantastic trainer, was a good leader at underage level and has a good footy brain. He's developed a fair few bad habits sitting as a loose half back flanker since his Rising Star and following years however.
This should have been Pick 66 or a F4 type deal when factoring his toxic contract for their TPP.
I sincerely hope we play him off a wing or even half forward and not half back. The game has gone past his type of player.
I gave up top shelf on weeknights since I had kids.Reckon you’ve downed a bottle of baijiu as well.

sphynxs's deal is that he exaggerates absolutely everything. ie. 'Jackson Archer isnt in the top 200 players in his age group'. hyperbolic nonsense after hyperbolic nonsenseWho the **** hung shit on Colby?
The Fisher decision defies logic and rational explanation. Everyone outside the nmfc recruiting team knew he had massive shortcomings and still we offered him this extraordinary deal. His footy this year confirmed what many of the naysayers had claimed: poor decision maker under pressure, vastly overrated kick of the ball and soft in the tackle. Go figure ….The CCJ trade was a poor one both at the time and now with hindsight, especially when he could've been walked to the PSD. If he wasn't willing to do that, he could've stayed at the Tiges.
The point is that you are meant to learn from your mistakes, not just repeat the same process and expect a different result. That is the definition of insanity. It's seemingly more and more likely that when things haven't gone poorly it's been due to pure dumb luck as opposed to good process and planning (eg talent identification and sourcing).
To an extent, what was the point of recruiting Fisher last year if we go back to the well to get Daniel this year to play the same role?
'mouth pieces for the club' lmao
clarko, viney and brady have forgotten more about football than you will ever know in your life champ. there is arrogance and then there's this unhinged, absolute melt of a rant. but credit to ya, this is a fitting swansong to the absolute shit youve posted over this period
Finally! Someone who's willing to take the unwashed leagues of McKercher haters to task. Who's draft? Our draft!And people loved to hang shit on Colby on this board at periods of last season. Their reactions are going to be fairly comical when they discover Daniel moves the ball 40% less per possession than Colby, who some hung a heap of shit on for his give and goes and chip kicks.
Yes going with the ‘champ’ response to someone who has posted a carefully constructed opinion that you disagree with.'mouth pieces for the club' lmao

People and fans were hanging shit on Colby last year though, especially at games. And it wasn’t his fault, he was trying to move from half back because no one else was doing anything. Some paid off, some didn’t. He is sonic. What do you expect? I’m sure margin for error will be different when he can kick to contests from the midfield.sphynxs's deal is that he exaggerates absolutely everything. ie. 'Jackson Archer isnt in the top 200 players in his age group'. hyperbolic nonsense after hyperbolic nonsense
one person expressing a little bit of doubt about his kicking is probably enough for him to conclude 'people loved to hang shit on Colby' tbh
Not by the way we trade historicallyThere is a stark difference in leverage when trading for contracted v non contracted players, irregardless of age, cv, etc, i presume if any of our targets were not contracted, the price paid would have been significantly less, is this right or wrong ?
Coop might have the worst attitude of the 3 but probably has the highest ceiling.blake drury should be
keep coop over laz and him
Rest your lips and get busy writing up draft profiles for our 2025 first rounder..Honestly, the amount of people on here that are mouth pieces for the club is hilarious.

It's why the Dogs replaced him with a few fringe VFL types who actually can break zone defences and defend in the air.
He actually used to be quite a good interceptor in his first 4-5 years in the league, that's disappeared in the second half of his career as he's just become an unaccountable small half back.
And he's joining one of the worst defences in the league, what could go wrong?
He's also 29 years old in the middle of next season and has got progressively worse year on year since his peak in 2020 as that AA/B&F winner.

We had every single bit of leverage in this deal. The only thing going for the Dogs was he was contracted, yet at $750,000 PA it was as plain as day they would blink and move him at the end for whatever they could get.
I was never apposed to his recruitment, if the price was right. IF the price was right, He's a fantastic trainer, was a good leader at underage level and has a good footy brain.

I sincerely hope we play him off a wing or even half forward and not half back. The game has gone past his type of player at half back.
So let me get this straight.
We traded 25 for a shorter, slower, more accurate kick over short distances than Fisher? Is that the take away here?
