when Farmer got it, he had quite a good kick on him.. surprised with that amount of delistings that they didn't keep him.
makes Mortons trade for pick 79 look even more stupid if you ask me.
Must use a minimum of three picks. Every club must do this.
I hear lots of uneducated opinion (here and media) about lazy, undisciplined, poor defensively etc. Not sure any of that has ever come straight from coaching staff.
Well said. Why waste FTF money to replace with a speculative kid that must get 2 years. Wait a year and get a better kid in. We will still have 12 new players next year. Maric/Morris 3 draft picks and 7 rookies.I like how claw says that it is a poor draft but we should have more picks in it. We have players who would be gone if not for having a contract so all that means is they get de-listed next year and we can have a bunch of picks in a good draft.

Heslin doesn't count until he is actually drafted.

I realise that too but maybe that's why they've culled 6 rookies. Heslin will take the spot already not being taken. Miller already has a spot. So 6 spots left. Can see us taking a young ruck, a young small forward, a young KPP and 3 mature players. I also was speaking to u last night about Horsley who id like in the main draft at 55. He will probably be gone to the bummers but if he's there we should go for it. Add a mature player like Macaffer in the PSD and that's 4 mature bodies added to the main list and 2 young kids. And 3 kids and 3 mature players added to the rookie list on only 1 year deals. If mature player stinks it up then get some new ones next year rather than being stuck with paying out contracts this year then having blokes on 2 year deals that we cant get rid of next year.whos talking about speculative kids. i reckon you have read enough of my posts lately to know ive strongly advocated a combination of kids and mature players.
i can think of three players who would likely be available to us with picks 73 79 and psd who while probably not world beaters would be upgrades on players we have retained.
and surely if next yr is a deeper draft than this yr which is supposedly shallow it would be better to fill the rookie list up with picks next yr after all the rookie draft is basically just an extension of the nd.
so we have maric 26yo, morris 22yo, pick 15 18yo, pick 26 18yo, pick 55 18yo
73 horsley 23yo, carnell 23yo, and psd pick on someone like tom lee 20yo.
i will say now horsley and carnell are better players than white jackson edwards webberley farmer connors and others. do we want a big bodied kpd go and give wilkes a go for thursfield. what is there to lose.just a very late pick with the worst that can happen is we replace a dud with a dud.
why do we insist on hanging onto such underperformers. surely it is better to give someone else ago.
as for next yr, as so many rose coloured glasses wearing people have told me you cant delist 15 in one go.
use a couple of rookie picks to go with heslin and miller.
I love how claw has no idea.

They may get kept for 2 years but its not a requirement like a main list player unfortunately. There are still more delistings to come. We have added 2 players and only delisted 4. We need an extra pick. We should have 8 delistings next year so that can make u happywhos said its a poor draft. not me bud. many others have said that.
me i keep on advocating we participate poor or not.
now assuming it is a poor draft why would we utilise the rookie draft so heavily.
why not get in before hand and use late picks this yr instead.
and if it is a poor draft those in charge should know why not use late picks on older players from minor leagues. does any one use just a bit of common snse around this place.
at the end of the day, nearly all rookie picks are retained for two yrs anyway just like a late pick is.
