Spoiler: 2024 Draft Order

 

[Snake Charmer]

HS linking us to Matt Owies, he's a pretty good finisher but is he the profile we want?

Upgrade on Menzie. better footballer but has the flaws that we can’t afford. Pace, Pressure, tackling ect.

Could put ‘Stand By Hird’ in enormous letters there and still have room for #don#donatetotheflightplannd probably some gambling promotion

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I ****ing hate Owies.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Wasn't Gresham supposed to be an upgrade on Menzie? Or was he supposed to be an upgrade on Snelling?

Can we please stop bringing in other club's D-graders as an upgrade on our own D-graders.

further to this, we need to stop seeing our own players through our own rose coloured glasses. We have one absolute Rolls-Royce and then we are full of b grade (at best guys) then filled with rubbish

I just wanna be linked to draft picks. Load up on those by clearing out players. Surely there are clubs that need FS points.

Exactly what I don't want. I give up if we take Owies.

We need a Stengle type. One with pace that provides forward pressure.

 

[Keystone agony]

Does Owies not provide pressure?

The reason im against Owies is probably because Carlton likely ask for a 2nd rounder

Stengle only cost money and is obviously alot better

 

[ant555]

Would like to see this forward line after draft and trade period.

Langford Jones Gresham
Kako Caddy Richards

I am zero confidence in Jones being any sort of forward.

 

[The Prosecutor]

I am zero confidence in Jones being any sort of forward.

If not a forward, where do you see him making it... if at all?

 

[ant555]

I think he has one chance. Converted defender. He had one trick on the wing and that was floating in to take marks but had nothing else. As a forward he rarely looks like taking a mark and goes missing for long periods.

 

[Snake Charmer]

I ****ing hate Owies.

My thoughts exactly

 

[jdstorm]

If we’re doing any trade with Carlton I’d like it to be Carlton get Stringer and we get a pick far better then we deserve

He’d be good for them. And the player that pick becomes might be on our list 10 years if we get lucky

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Owies? GTFO!

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

What is a realistic offer from the Saints for Shiel? Is a second rounder a stretch? Upgrade of first and or second rounders..?

 

[Duckworth]

4th rounder.

 

[Vindicater]

I am zero confidence in Jones being any sort of forward.

I thought he looked good for a sustained period early this season as the second key forward but then we brought Wright back in who was too similar in regards to his leading patterns and they got in each other's way.

Jones did alot right in those games in terms of competing in the air and then providing pressure once the ground hit the deck.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Rachele on the outer at Crows. Worth asking? But I guess not really what we want.

 

[fanuch]

Wasn't Gresham supposed to be an upgrade on Menzie? Or was he supposed to be an upgrade on Snelling?

Can we please stop bringing in other club's D-graders as an upgrade on our own D-graders.

And I’d ask to stop being oh so clever and bidding on and getting stuck with other clubs NGA and FS players that are no good.

Duz and Caldwell. Ridley. Langford till he hurt whatever he hurt. I'd put these in A grade. Very few B graders out of the "team".
