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".

All are good B graders for me. Ridley because of injury gets marked down, Jye and Duz need way more consistency to be considered A grade, they have potential but not there yet.

Langford has A grade games but needs to do it more often to be a genuine A grader.

Zach is our only A grader imo

 

[Petrify]

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

What do you mean not what we want? We need good small forwards

 

[Old Campaigner]

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

Why get mad at the coach then?

 

[Snake Charmer]

Rachelle is a jet. I’d be all over him if it somehow didn’t cost our first

Even then, I’d probably still be all over it. He’s gonna be seriously good

If Nic Martin was wing all year I think he is right in the A grade conversation

The guy has heaps of talent but he’s shirked a lot of contests this year which is a real worry.
He would cost a first rounder and I would prefer to use that this year. If you could use a couple of second rounder’s like we did for Caldwell it would be worth considering but the Crows won’t doing that. Maybe get involved with a deal that gets Lukosious to the crows and Rachele to us

He has talent but some pretty serious and persistent bravery issues.

As you know we are really blue collar and have a fair bit of edge so….

 

[div12ressie]

Ill cry if we try to pick up any more slow forwards

A grade is Sam Walsh, star is Pat Cripps

Nathan O'Driscoll & Conor Stone both OOC this year.

Both 188cm with top end endurance and speed. Combined with their state league form shown, there's enough to suggest they can be decent role players at AFL level. Strongly believe we should be going after undervalued fringe guys that can be effective in the right role and take our top picks to the draft, no more shortcuts.

For not rewarding / punishing form at senior level/vfl level

“The trade preacher” on Twitter who has proven to have good info previously - even broke quite a few trade stories well before mainstream journos last year, is claiming that LDU is weighing up trade interest from other clubs, contracted until the end of next season. Essendon & St Kilda the 2 with the strongest interest. Thoughts?

He deletes everything he gets wrong.

Yes, but got quite a few right last year. Deleting things that didn’t eventuate is a bit on the nose but something not eventuating is not the same as not having truth behind it at the time.

Not getting carried away with the rumour as it could end up being nothing but he’s got enough right to put some stock in it IMO

Imma trust LDU on this one.

Throw enough shit at the wall and eventually some of it sticks

Aside from Hayes who’s vfl form went unrewarded?

 

[fairbump_playon]

Caddy well managed

Roberts 6 weeks late debuting in his first year

Hayes missed out but seems secure for future years

Tsatas working on his game for specific purposes

ADJ heaps of chances he wasn’t quite ready to take

Tex and Jayden nowhere near it

Jones played as a senior

Vigo a baby

It’s not terrible reading in my opinion

Straight swap for Draper?

 

[Bjchan13]

Straight swap for Draper?

 

[thebigboy]

Straight swap for Draper?

IMO, yes I would.

 

[Zach Package]

Rachelle dropped for the last round of the season….

I’d trade our first for Rachelle on the proviso he grows his hair out again

 

[Vindicater]

Straight swap for Draper?

Nah.

Nah. Second round or nothing. Afraid of his own shadow.

Yeah, that's a fair call. Blokes ability to kick goals is amazing.
