This attribute was what Ratugolea demonstrated in game and at the testing he added vertical jump.
We can find another kid like that - hang on we already have - Jack Henry had the leap and good hands and was selected as a rookie.
One more at 198 -200cm athletic type with good hands as a top attribute can be found outside first round this year - not that I know of one.

Especially if they get neale
NO too much downside.. Hodge just about killed trading P1
The best kpf are either early picks or were not available to the whole draft pool with the exception of brown really. You want a good key forward. Draft early or trade for one.
Hawkins f/s
Reiwoldt 1st round pick
Franklin 1st round pick
Roughead 1st round pick
Lynch 1st round pick
Cameron pre-listed
Walker Not available to any other clubs
McKay and Curnow 1st round picks
Hogan mini draft. Required a first round
Patton 1st round pick
Hipwood 1st round pick
Kennedy 1st round pick
Daniher 1st round pick
You want a good key forward then pay the price
Anthony Geelong
Rookie
Is it really worth us getting the pick 5 this year? We'd be losing our best (probably) creative Mid for an unknown, who knows maybe Kelly will stay after his contract is over

Nothing officially announced, today the Addy has an article & some quotes from Simpson ahead of tomorrows final - opens with the following:
I'm assuming it's only going to be a 1-year rookie extension rather than a promotion to the senior list
I'm assuming it's only going to be a 1-year rookie extension rather than a promotion to the senior list
Most if not all would prefer to see him come out and say Im staying and signing for an extra 2 etc. but we also have to be macro in in our vision. If he says after a fantastic year that the family still would prefer to go home... i will stay for the other year if you can but id prefer you to find a way etc...
then Geelong has to be strong and realistic. .. and the chance to get a KPF early in a draft is so rare for us... then to add that this draft's KPF have been rated for a fair while. Then add that Hawkins is 30... we have not had a KPF develop from with the draft for a long , long time because we generally do not get a pick early enough. Now Sav looks a potential long term player for us .. but if our whole future is tied to finding a replacement ..then id like to give it its best chance.
Again... If Kelly is a legit chance to be long term then we move on.. and try to find another way to go about it. No one will be pushing the trade if Kelly say he would prefer to stay.
There are exceptions but its the general rule. Hopefully we have one exception on our list ..but one does not ensure a future just on a singular hope.
To have a KPF in three Premierships all be FSons..we have been lucky. Atpit..there is no lucky FS's coming thru to play those roles.. perhaps a tad unlucky when you consider the surnames.. One would have thought that a Brownless and or a Mensch may have been tall players.

We would not be making this trade by choice, just making the best of a bad situation

Ben or Max if we have the opportunity.
Barrett in Sliding Doors today:
"If 22 matches came and went in 2018 without Braydon Preuss playing one of them ...
Then we get it, given Goldy held up all year in a courageous run at the finals. But, Preuss now knows that the Roos, deep down, don't rate him. And other clubs do."
Hrmm!

Oh fun list... Now show the same list with the high pick failures...
Whats the story with Tarryn Thomas ... some background stories being floated just to knock his value around?

I swear people pay no attention at all in here. Our CEO has twice stated Kelly will be a cat in 2019 yet people still hypothesising trades... why

Really enjoyed O'Halloran's highlights. Would take him with our late first rounder in a heartbeat. If we did have pick 5 we'd be at least a shot at max king provided GCS didn't draft both twins at 2 and 3

Because there's a more than even chance that he's posturing
Make a list of key forwards who were not high draft picks, fs or were unable to be accessed by every club. It's a small list

Story probably put out by North so they can use their pick 8 on someone else
I have no knowledge of specfics.. just a lot mention of something like North may go off him a bit for "something". Does sound like Darling and West Coast a few years ago.
Pretty poor. Should be upgraded
Id like more info on pace and perhaps his aggression.. but everything I read about him ..fits into the type we need..

Western Jets captain and AFL prospect Xavier O’Halloran leading Vic Metro with aplomb in Under-18 National Championships
XAVIER O’Halloran’s considered responses provide insight into why he is so highly regarded.
Asked to detail his thoughts on what defines a strong leader, the 17-year-old made it clear he is not the sort to absolve himself of responsibility and bark orders.
But often overlooked is the fact a captain’s obligations stretch beyond the boundary line — far away from Ws and Ls.
Xavier O'Halloran looks to fire off a handball for Western Jets. Picture: Valeriu Campan
“It’s being supportive of your teammates and just having their backs on and off the field,” O’Halloran told Leader.
“I think that’s really valuable. You feel really comfortable and welcomed in the environment.
“A leader through action as well — not just necessarily saying that you’re going to do something, but following it up with actions in games and demonstrating what you want and expect from the team.”
The St Bernard’s junior is captain of Western Jets’ TAC Cup side this season, with coach Torin Baker describing O’Halloran as “one of the better leaders I’ve probably come across”
heres something from last week that mentions a few names we like

Why?
Senior list spots look to be pretty tight come the end of this season, and while Simpson is a f&s he has only played 6 senior games of football across the past 2 years.
If a guy like Blicavs stayed in the rookie list for a 3rd year after playing 22 games during his second year then it's not going to hurt a Simpson.
If Simpson was playing regular senior football you may have more of a point, but at this stage a 3rd year on the rookie list looks a fair for where he is currently at in his career.
Disagree. Should be on the senior list
