Once again the AFL is just ripping off an idea from overseas - this time deadline day from the premier league. We just don’t have the same volume of movement though, so I’m predicting this will be a stinker.

I haven’t seen much of Newman but his tackling and pressure seems to be elite and something we need down back (and in forward 50 too if he can switch ends again). I’d be happy to send a future 3rd instead of the 4th mooted or anything else that gets it done (even 3rd and 4th). We need quality players in that 16-22 range and he seems to tick that box.

Were you back at school in this dream...looked down and realised you weren’t wearing any clothes?
Graham didn’t play games this year when fit and when injuries decimated the midfield. If he isn’t our best back up mid in the twos he isnt adding value.
He isnt going to play centre with cripps, setterfield and kennedy and he is no forward resting mid - kicked 1 goal 5 this year!
Presume there is some judgement somewhere that says he could add more value than pick 69 or 71. But I don’t see the point.

Get this done! !
Why the concern about not having many draft picks in this draft? We just brought in two young players that could be elite and we’re selecting the best 18 year old in the country. I couldn’t give a stuff about the wait between picks.
Apparently MEL want more than #5 for Hogan. Talk of Cerra or Brayshaw being inquired about.
Would people do #1 for Cerra and #5? #1 would apparently placate MEL for Hogan, as it gives them access to Lukosius or a King to replace Hogan down the line.

Isn't Newman a half back though?

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
I'd rather Newman than May.
May would cost too much and has the well reported DH factor. Not sure he would fit in with our current squad.

I dreamt Patrick Cripps made eye contact with me once. Boy was I unhappy to awake from that one.

It’s an interesting proposition.
Does say Smith plus Cerra improve us more than Walsh? On paper yes but there’s only so many midfielders we can fit in a team so quality and types of midfielders is important for balance.
Personally I would do it but SOS knows more than me so if he does it I’ll be happy and if he doesn’t I’ll also be happy.

Question for ITK people....if Smith was in next year's draft, where roughly would you think he would be taken?
"ferrisb"..........please start dreaming that * do not acquire Shiel and that he has to stay at GWS or..........
I see this to be correct and it's something we often forget when talking players, as we just want talent and not necessarily always the right talent.
Would love Cripps & Setterfield to be mostly interchangeable.
Dow & (ideally) Shiel would have been the other interchangeable, but not to say they couldn't have co-existed as starting mids.
Then we have mix and matching with ECurnow. SPS, Fisher and possibly Walsh
We're still missing a couple of quality mids for my liking, but we'll get there as all our guys are young.

I once dreamt I was playing for the Blues in the ‘95 grand final. I felt totally out of place but must have been open in the forward line because Diesel fired off a handball to me with SUCH CONFIDENCE in his teammate’s ability that I just turned and drilled the goal from 20 out slight angle.
Then came the roar - you guys all went absolutely bananas.
But um...yeah yours is pretty cool too mate

Expect not much will get done between now and getting home from work tonight.
Would not be upset with a surprise or two if you are reading this SOS ...
