Losing this crop of 25yr old's is frustrating. For different reasons I'd hoped that Curtis Taylor and Tarryn Thomas could have been important players in our current team and for differing reasons they are both out the door (assuming CT gets the chop).
Throw in Steevo and CCJ who are both in the last year of their respective deals and probably on the way out that's four guys who should be part of the solution.
It's frustrating but we have actually unlocked a few positions this year (Xerri, Comben, Archer, Paul Curtis, Bailey Scott) and I think we do have an exciting crop if 19-21 yr olds.
Might be the case, but part of being a small pressure forward is putting pressure on the opposition by hitting the scoreboard
Well you don't ask you don't get. Who knows, could well plant the seed of thought in other's minds.....I think Parker is the one who'd make most difference.
Dear Chat GPT
Prompt: be as antagonistic and negative as possible about 2-3 players and repost every 30 seconds the same comment over and over again all season
Add a Trump-esque nickname to player prompt, for example Bailey Butcher, Senile Shiels or Pathetic Pink
Edit: exclude Finbar Maley and Will Phillips from player targets

Vs the other options we have?
This board drives me insane sometimes
It would be highly unlikely he would pick us anyway, apparently Collingwood are into him. But we gotta go strong at him.

This is gonna sound picky, but he's literally a slightly more well rounded Cooper Harvey. No thanks

Agreed. Jy could do the job.
Maybe. He'd want to get a bit of pace back though, which I think is achievable with some continuity and further elapsed time from his concussions. We'll know soon enough.
At any rate, a genuinely zippy small who roves first and marks second is what we need, and Owies ain't that

Sure, let's give away pick 2 for a player who goes at 44.3% kicking efficiency. Now this was last year so he may have improved in 2024 but even then if we were to give up pick 2 for him and he went at, let's be generous and say, 55% kicking efficiency his thread would have more pages than Will Phillips within in a week.
We have so many players who can't hit a target two of which are our captains, Taranto is the last player we need.

There's got to be a good reason that Carlton haven't offered him a new contract as yet. I'm not saying he's not good or wouldn't improve our team but something says buyer beware for me.

The best teams have dedicated valuable draft capital to drafting specialised small forwards - think Pickett and the Dees, Weightman at the Dogs, Watson at Hawthorn etc.
If we can't do that this year, we should try and pry out one of the recently drafted ones at other clubs who are behind other guns.
I've heard we would have taken Gothard if he'd for through to our picks last year. Konstanty at Sydney remains unsigned past this year too.
Oh god. Taranto is a ball butcher. Get a cheaper big body like Parker if possible or Alex Davies from GC.
As for Richards, a 4 year deal from Port is quite an investment. I haven't seen much of him so can't comment if he's any good, he's only played 8 AFL games from what I read. Is he quick and highly skilled?

At the time I actually tried to convince myself it made sense vs taking a young kid who wasn't going to help us win a flag.
Oh how wrong was I. We really had no foresight about regenerating the list underneath that best 22 did we?
Like the idea of going after Konstanty. We certainly have nothing to lose

100%. GWS trading up to take Phoenix scuttled our plans but like you say the best teams spend valuable draft capital on specialised small forwards.
Turning himself into a defensive forward or a defensive mid is the only way i see him staying in the team once (if) we start to improve.
Wilba will will himself on the list being a willing player. Not trading him.

I’d go Richards first but konstanty would be a decent next option
