[Buckley is my hero]

My view is we need to add a quick flanker or two, preferably cheaply. I don't think we're giving it a shake next year without adding to the flanks - depth at the least. He'd be on my list of train on invitations. Who would you suggest?

We don't need flankers, particularly hacks like Hind and Owies. Ask yourself, if you think these players would suit us, why is it they can't get games in clubs that are below us on the ladder? We need key position players, particularly a key forward since Kreuger and Ash Johnson have shown nothing at AFL level. We also need speed through the midfield.

Jesus, I didn't know he was 30.

I can't see it working for us from a trade and cap perspective, even if you could get your head around how he fits in the best 22.

He looks like a prime candidate for North.

Fin rumoured to have met with Essendon
Maybe Jack goes there too
We don’t need another 30yr old accumulator who has no pace

 

[CasuallyDressed]

The only player we're linked to that interests me is Peatling and even sounds like he'll be priced out.

I insist on a F1

Okay. F it than. Happy to watch Geelong and hawthorn dominate for the next umpteen years. Good for them

It is great recruiting and management by the Hawks that they have young players not on high salary. IIRC only Sicily was on the list of AFL top 100 salaries. They reportedly have no back ended contracts. Their older players are on low year to year contracts, They can afford to throw $$$ at FA. They are a destination club for several years. However they have had a one good year out of the past 9 so lets wait to see what happens b4 we claim they will dominate for years. Geelong is attractive for different reasons. Geelong is a mecca if you love golf, surfing or country. It takes 30 mins from Anglesea to Kardinia Park. It takes longer coming from Essendon to CBD 9kms away. New homes on good blocks down here are significantly cheaper than Melbourne. A very well run club and a tightly managed salary cap and a very wide recruiting network. They will not dominate for long if at all

I did go out on a limb with the punchable man but he's a really good small forward who has pace and can push up on the wing. Carlton are stupid

On that we can all agree.

Pretty sure Richmond was keen on Fin last year

There is literally no sense to Fin Macrae going to Essendon..

 

[Jen2310]

Jack could be the one to protect Nick. Also could help out his brother to get better.

How many teams are in the AFL again?

Pick 20 is in the second round.

And will be pushed back further with bids on FS and Academy selection

But spookily it comes before the first pick of the second round.

Either way, we'll have to pay more than Noble to get it if this draft is as deep as everyone says.

Not sure if people are serious about a straight swap of Noble or just setting up to complain about our trading.

When they literally have Hobbs who is similar type of player, and cant get a game.
Makes no sense.

Let’s get another set of brothers together

Do we need another Macrae/McRae around the traps?

 

[iGNITER]

Geez... So many melts. Not a destination club? Blah blah... Who of real relevance have we "missed out on"?

Can guarantee there are stones in the fire that haven't been spoken about as yet. The club will be active, if it weren't for other circumstances Petracca would have loved to be traded to us for next season.

Bloke posted on the MB yesterday he’s coming to us

Serious question.
If Geelong drafted Finn and we drafted Max Holmes, do you think Finn would be an A grader for the Cats and Holmes would be struggling to break into our 22?

Theyre too different types of players... Holmes can play multiple roles, Fins a inside slow mid.

There's enough confusion with Fly and Fin.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Something must be pretty wrong if Fin needs his 30-something brother on the same list to become AFL standard coming into his fifth year.

Collingwood has always had a place for blokes with bad skinfolds and shit tatts

 

[Spuddd]

Get Mccrae in to teach his brother how to play football. The standards and the professionalism.

Ones a premiership player, the other is a VFL plodder with potential
