How is someone who struggles with 1 on 1 contests going to free up Moore?
Mcstay just played one of his best ever games as makeshift first ruck in one of this year's finals games. He is a very capable chop out option.Not really and certainly not for extended periods.
McStay is undersized at 195cm and we need him playing CHF anyway. Could he pinch hit for a bit as 2nd ruck in a game or two - maybe. Playing first ruck for the full 120 mins for an extended period is a different proposition though.
Frampton hasn't ever really shown any indication of being an effective ruck at AFL level.
Yeah i was agreeing with the behaviour concern of your statementPerhaps. I’ve never really seen much of him tbh. Think the most touches he got was outside a kebab shop
All he has to do is punch the pill and prevent his opponent from taking contested marks. Some people are determined to be depressed and annoyed by whoever we recruit.Frampton took 26 contested marks down back in 15 SANFL games this year
In his AFL games down back this year he averaged 0.7 contested marks
In his last full season Roughead averaged 0.9 contested marks at full back
Where has this idea come from that Frampton is going to get rag dolled every week?
Yeah all good it was a valid point. I wouldn’t be opposed to dfa. Could do worse.Yeah i was agreeing with the behaviour concern of your statement
he might lose his pace lolI would have agreed with comment on Sidney this time last year but I think he has been re energised by Fly. Thought he was terrific this year. Still has a couple left in him.
It appears we shall start next year with considerable young talent in the VFL. We should give these boys an opportunity first and foremost.22 years of age.
2019 VFL Premiership player.
McRae was coach.
Not worth pick 51???
Come on…..
At least a rookie pick?
A likely future winger.
I reckon a re-union with Fly and Leppa is well worth a punt.
Commercial reasons however tend to dictate our draw each season - I won't be surprised if the AFL provides double-ups for us against Richmond, Carlton, Geelong, Melbourne and Essendon in season 2023. irrespective of us finishing in 3rd this season.
WHE, Bianco replace brown bros
The AFL will review the trade period to consider refining the rules around salary dumping and consider whether to extend the length of elite players’ first contracts from two years to three.
The league was pleased with the first experience of the new change to allow salary dumping but, as part of the annual review of the player movement period, will look at tweaking the rules.
Some clubs have pushed for the AFL to change the salary dump rules to make a club absorb the existing terms of the player tied into a salary dump in their salary cap, regardless of what they agree to actually re-contract the player for at their club.
This year Geelong was able to bring in Jack Bowesand pick 7 from the Gold Coast Suns in exchange for just a future third-round pick under the first major salary dump the AFL has seen.PLAYERCARDSTART12Jack Bowes

The Bowes salary dump will have the most far-reaching consequences of any trade of the recent player movement window and will fundamentally re-shape how trade periods are run in the future.
Effectively, Geelong was given pick No.7 as an incentive if they took Bowes, who was contracted for $825,000 per year for two more years, off the Suns’ books.
Geelong was able to bring Bowes in and renegotiate a new contract with him, thereby spreading his big contract out over a longer period of time. So, the Cats will only have the new four-year terms of Bowes’ contract in their salary cap.
Clubs have argued for, and the AFL will now consider, a change that would require a club in Geelong’s situation in future to have to keep the $825,000 from a Bowes-type contract in their salary cap for two years, not the smoothed out contract amount they are actually paying him.
Where you draw the line on what a salary dump is, and what is a regular trade, would be debatable, as often a traded player can take revised lower terms at a new club, or have a large portion of his contract paid by his club to play elsewhere.
Potentially, a demarcation line would be based on whether the recipient club gives up a worse pick than the one they are receiving for taking on a big contract.
For instance, Tom Mitchell and Brodie Grundywere not technically salary dumps, even though their two original clubs are paying a chunk of their salaries to play elsewhere in future, because in both cases Hawthorn and Collingwood received more compensation in draft picks than they gave up.PLAYERCARDSTART4Brodie Grundy

The AFL is not committed to making this change, but it is a tweak they will consider based on feedback from clubs.
Troubled by players leaving clubs, especially in emerging markets, to move early in their careers, as well as regard for the inflationary effect of massive salary demands from second-year players for their first unregulated contracts, the AFL will explore whether the initial player contract could, or should, be extended from two to three years, possibly only for first and second round draftees.
Any change to this would be difficult and require the involvement, and agreement, of the AFL Players’ Association.

Give him hell VPCame home to find this on the door to the balcony.
Handy, because I was looking for some toilet paper.

He pinch-hit in the ruck quite a lot in the back-half of the season. Not just a one offAgain it was one game as a makeshift ruck. That's a very different proposition to doing it week in, week out against opposing rucks he's giving up 3-5 inches and 5-10kg to, and that's not even taking into account that we need him playing at CHF to straighten us up when we're going forward whichbbed him in the first place.
If we end up having to play McStay in the ruck next year for extended periods then things would already be going rather badly for us I suspect.

Perhaps he could handle some of the forward line ruck work to allow Cam/Cox to remain in the 50F/50D arc more. Gives us at least an extra marking threat to block turnovers before the opposition can get to a scoring position.Again it was one game as a makeshift ruck.

Nobody ever said it did, just that you're misrepresenting it by writing "Again it was one game as a makeshift ruck."And this eqautes to being first ruck for extended periods in case of injury to Cameron and Cox how exactly?
You all keep throwing up the same argument (he did it in a game or was backup ruck in a few games last season), and in the process keep side-stepping the obvious issues with McStay having to play first ruck for any length of time (both structurally and for his own fitness), if we're unlucky with injuries to Cameron and Cox.
McCreery - would love him to be able to have stints further up the groundIt appears we shall start next year with considerable young talent in the VFL. We should give these boys an opportunity first and foremost.

Oh I couldn't agree more we need another mature and capable option but my brain doesn't work in straight lines like most people's brains it usually sparks off on related tracks.We're talking about situations where Cameron and Cox aren't available here, ie. who comes next.
My point here is that we are far more reliant on those two standing up than I think most realise at the moment. Definitely a point of significant risk assuming Begg still needs a lot of work - might end up having to rely on Frampton which wouldn't be good for us I suspect.
and he played in an adelaide side that had a fairly crap team defensive systemFrampton took 26 contested marks down back in 15 SANFL games this year
In his AFL games down back this year he averaged 0.7 contested marks
In his last full season Roughead averaged 0.9 contested marks at full back

Yep, it’s getting boring. Sad that someone seems so pleased with himself. He’ll pay for it.How many more buttons have you got for him push VP surely the dog box is creeping up
