Was Kane melting like this when the Horne-Francis deal was being done?

I wouldn’t stress too much about it
Mostly because the timing of us freeing up a shitload of cap space coincides with a bumper year for restricted free agents next year

I just don’t want to waste the Daicos, Moore, DeGoey, Quaynor years.
Depends how everyone holds up. I saw an interview with Mitchell recently, and he suggested he wasn't quite out of the woods with his foot issue. Jordy tends to find himself injured for a portion of the year, then you've got a couple of mid-30 year olds, a guy who really hasn't played much midfield, and a kid who showed something, but it was a bit of a training run match. It's a good bunch with a bit of luck, but the floor can easily fall out of it as we saw at times last year.

I feel like Perryman suits us really well. Decent size, gets into good positions, good off both sides apparently, competent in the air and whilst not super fast has more pace than some of our encumbents, has some positional flexibility, open to improvement.
Adding he and Houston will mitigate some of the issues we had with teams going around us with fast kick/mark possession tactics I reckon. Also, given the resurgence of tagging last season, if we use Sidey in a tagging role Perryman prevents us losing too much pace in midfield rotations and the opportunity to use JDG forward a tad more.
The time bomb you mentioned was and is still capable of blowing up or at the very least matching it with the best midfields in the comp. So whilst it is ticking I feel we have time to add some extra ammunition and are very unlikely to implode.

Kane is like ken bruce ..hes gone mad
Lots of people are worried that we haven’t focused on the future by giving away assets and not hitting the draft.
The draft still has an element of hope and luck combined.
The following were top 10 draft picks that were busts -
Josh Schache, Tim Walsh, Lawrence Angwin, Nathan Freeman, Daniel Gorringe. There’s tons of them you could add to this list.
Others like Tom Boyd, Adam Treloar, Jason Horne-Francis, Jesse Hogan etc were traded while still young. Even Wil Hoskin-Elliott was pick number 4.
Houston and Perryman have 5 years in them at least. That’s while we have Daicos x 2, Quaynor, McReery, Schultz, DeGoey, McStay, Cameron, Moore, Hill, Allan, Frampton, Lipinski, Maynard etc in the right age bracket. Jack Crisp and Hoskin-Elliott still have plenty to give.
If we add a free agent again next season with McGuane we can definitely keep in contention for a few years.

You probably would if you hit the draft. Moore and JDG will be veterans when most of the good ones from this year's crop are beginning to produce.
Which is why we are trading

I’m honestly expecting we’ll add LDU next season
The beauty of a player like Houston wanting to come to us is that it can help entice others to come and join he and Nick

Not if we believe the talk about the strength of this draft, in which case we’d be expecting players to be best 22 fast.
Great post about helping us become more appealing to other recruits
A strong draft doesn’t mean every kid is daicos, sheezel or Reid. Good kids still take 2-3 years. The elite ones like the ones listed impact immediately. But they are bloody rare. The best kid this year is going to bris as a f/s

I looked at their board yesterday and at the time I checked there had been one post for the day (anywhere) and it was nothing to do with trade period. Poor old GCS in 11 had to come here for some conversation.

They might be best 22, but even big draft hits like Jordy and Darcy took until years 4 and 5 before they were top players. You get the occasional Sheezel, Daicos and Ashcroft, but they're bloody rare. You can't expect much early on, even from your hits - and lots of them aren't hits.
1 move I think is really underrated here is the acquisition of Matthew Boyd.
He has done a fantastic job with Freo's mids. And the emergence of both Young and Sharp transition from half backs to quality mids could really transform Houston, Perryman and Maynard into a very deep midfield for us.

Might have to have me a read then. By the way, can’t remember the controversy of him leaving Crom. Any pointers you can give me?
Well played Leppa and Fly.
I get some of the talk that we have sold the farm for players, what about the future….bla, bla
I’m super excited with bringing in quality and going for the silverware at all cost, we are being ruthless in our quest for no.17
The only reason our club plays footy is to win flags, pumped for next year.
You can tell they are looking over their shoulders because the hatred is back.

Should we snatch back Liam McMahon in the rookie draft ahead of Carlton now that he’s matured? I’d love to do that if our pick is ahead of Carrrrlton.

Man I’m gonna seriously miss this thread when it’s over tomorrow. At least there’s still more to come during the delisted free agency period.
The floor can fall out of any teams' midfield if injuries strike.

Age & injury history, I suppose.
