Wait.. so Owens, Poo, Windy and whoever we draft with 7 and 8 don't need mid time. Makes sense.A lovely sentiment- but for what purpose?
Virtually all our best players are in their prime years right now and about to hit 30.
We end up never entering flag contention if we blindly follow an edict that says we must play 19 year old kids in the midfield because 'they might end up being something'
No current season stats available
Naz should've been in the AA 40.NAS is very good now. Is it his third year? He is the quickest to come on in years. For every NAS and Sheezel there are much more that are slow burn. Wilson was good but neither are starring in the midfield.
✔ Checks out for mehard to keep up with this,lets see
we are one over already with hall needing to fit in?
6 delisted/ufa so 5 spots,macrae makes it 4?
hotton hayes paton membrey in limbo?
crouch possibly off list soon?
so maximum 9 spots if all 5 of those names not retained?
picks 7,8 or 21(battle)?and 24 plus picks for cole/peckett and a sandy player,leaves us 3 if all 5 of them gone?
soldo/tomlinson?so one pick left?
keep one of those 5 players,or get another player(kennedy peatling)?or hold onto a pick?
someone please tell me where ive gone wrong,im sure i have somewhere
stavro#4 I know you've already gone there, but this is the first time on here since 6:25 when I was listening to SEN teams, and I have wanted to say this ever since.
SDK, if he wasn't unhappy before - surely he is now. Mt Martha to Moorabbin is an easy drive, but surely anyone brought up on the Peninsula would be keen to leave Geelong at some point.
I hope we strike while the irons hot, grab SDK instead of Soldo - not as a pure ruck but as a backup or chop out. I truly think a SDK/Smith/pick 8 trade combo is a win for everyone.
I honestly think we were pretty close to Tom De Koning before that 2 year extension but that just took him to free agency. TDK next year as a free agent to play with lil bro and allow Roma to play more mid forward as hile ages. One of Finn, LDU or Brayshaw and we would be 2026 flag favourites.
It's dreamland stuff, but getting a SDK could be a sliding doors moment for our club.
At least we didn’t give them Prime Jack Steven.I would love to get SDK but Geelong usually don't let talented young players like him go.
The only players I can remember us getting from Geelong were spuds like Charlie Gardiner and Ryan Gamble.
We also got Steven King from them but he was well past his best and also injury prone by the time we got him.
Nas and Wilson are the two absolute untouchables on our list IMO. Everyone else has a price (even if it's an eye-wateringly high one).Naz should've been in the AA 40.
Pou was poor early, but did the work and looked good towards the end...but I would agree that he's not quite there yet.
Wilson I thought had an excellent debut season...faded a bit mid year, when the whole team was poor, but came home with the wind in his sails.
Think Wilson, with his run, ability to take a strong mark, and get on the scoreboard reasonably regularly will be big for him next year.
To me he's shown more than Pou, and looks very likely. He may not be a star yet, but it won't take long.
If there is one guy who deserves a ridiculous contract from us, it is Nas. Would be battle times 1000 if Nas leaves.Nas and Wilson are the two absolute untouchables on our list IMO. Everyone else has a price (even if it's an eye-wateringly high one).
Hopefully we get Nas' signature wrapped up quickly or it could be a long year. SA teams will come hard.
I would hope the club are ahead of the game in the area. Same with PouIf there is one guy who deserves a ridiculous contract from us, it is Nas. Would be battle times 1000 if Nas leaves.

One of the reasons the club couldn’t afford to overpay a third tall defender.I would hope the club are ahead of the game in the area. Same with Pou
Just shot you a PM.......get ****ed
are you kinding?
wow
this is shocking
gaz took me to my first time to moorabbin
holy shit
man i had a good few weekends with gazrat over that 09 10 period
sorry to go off topic all
if any one else here posts on MTS pm me up
Man feelings.And I wouldn't really want to sweet-cheeks.
And it was the Saints FR draft pick that was used to draft him!Hugo is quicker!

But less experience, less premierships, less leadership. That's all that matters with Macrae. Honestly he's probably still the better player even at 31 when full-time midfieldHaven't followed the thread or been reading, so not sure if this has been discussed, but would way rather Matt Kennedy if we can get him over Macrae. Younger, more versatile and can play forward in a pinch. Hope we are looking hard into this.

We need guys who can mentor our next crop of mids. At this point of our list build, there's no point in getting a 28 yr old who's an average player and doesn't offer much on the intangibles side, we may as well keep the pick and take an 18 yr old in that scenario
People forget how good Macrae is.Haven't followed the thread or been reading, so not sure if this has been discussed, but would way rather Matt Kennedy if we can get him over Macrae. Younger, more versatile and can play forward in a pinch. Hope we are looking hard into this.
This is the biggest thing, been played all over the shop in Bevos ever rotating whiteboard.People forget how good Macrae is.
The problem is he wants inside mid time and will also want three years and cost more than most seem to think imo. We’re off to the draft to hopefully grab two young mids, as we’ve seen the best of them demand early games. This is list management, development laid bare. We have players that are contracted, we have Macrae who has agreed to terms and nominated St kilda.I think you're probably right but if you can get him cheap it's another rotation or depth and gives us a good chance to play finals next year and probably Sandy too.

Yep , its another of those 1+1=3 postsHas there been any actual solid info on SDK or is he just a player that was injured and hasn't been able to get back into the side so people are going woohoo he must want to leave let's get him woohoo?
