They'll need a full size scaling bar to get enough leverage

Sav shouldn't touch the AFL side until he strings 5 weeks together that are worth it.

I don't think there's a way to get both and I'd prefer Bruhn. You know exactly what you're getting and it's better than most kids taken in the teens

I like the idea of rotating a mid/wing through there next year. Knevitt with the height and contested marking, or Dempsey with his attacking work would be great and they can also move up the ground and hand around the wings the way Miers does and provide running options.
I also like the idea of resting smaller contested types there that can kick a goal like Willis, Whyte, or Kroeger and they can give danger a chop out.
I think we need to get smart about how we get games into kids

Absolutely.
That’s why I didn’t mind when Dalhaus came back in. A few good vfl games in a row and a position opened up.
The same should go for Sav. He’s been gifted 50 odd games and delivered very little. His vfl form to get into the afl side has always been poor but they bring him straight in.
I’m hoping the fact Blicavs has been so good as our number 2 ruckman that’s what keeps Sav in the VFL
Got nothing to do with the forward line IMO
We’d all like to keep our 1st round pick and we’d all love to give GWS a big finger, but if our pick is over #15 then I’d comfortably predict that Bruhn will be a better AFL player than the vast majority of 18 year olds picked from that point. Kid is the exact player we need.
I’m also interested in GWS’ defence. Harry Himm has looked sensational as a key back the last few weeks. With their tight cap is he an option? Where does that leave local boy Idun. He’s also a very decent prospect and still in the team. Can they fit all of these in the one side with Taylor. They also have Alir, Keefe, Buckley, Davis, Stein, and Fleeton. Seems an extraordinary amount for lists of 44

Agreed.

Idun just signed for 4 years a few weeks ago. Unsure on fleetons status might be ooc. I doubt himmelberg goes but one of their other talls might as they have a few fringe talls. Factor in though that davis and keefe likely retire this year and stein is 28ish and a fringe player and buckley is coming off an ACL so they dont have as many long term as they do short term.

I think he will be worth around a 20 plus or minus a bit ... how that works out in trade ... will probably depend on multiple factors . Ideally we get something like that from trading our late picks for an earlier one with a team that needs points like Bris.

That was two R2 picks from memory and maybe a bit icing?

Disappointing to hear Scott’s comments on 360 tonight about De Goey. I know it’s hard for coaches to criticise players at other clubs. But I would have preferred him to rule out recruiting him when asked directly. Clearly there is no chance he’s going to Geelong anyway but make a statement that we wouldn’t tolerate that at Geelong.
There’s a lot of issues with his behaviour but I’m sure not everyone here will agree on all of that. But the minimum is his off field behaviour shows a lack of respect to his team mates and club. I don’t think that’s within the mould of who we’d want at the club.
Just a shame that the coaches are comfortable to actually say what they think for fear of being critiqued.
Scott did mention that the club tries not to comment so much on trading/recruitment of players I think he meant while they’re still in contract.
The other interesting comment was how the coaches approached this season. That they tried to look at the list with fresh eyes.

Didn't see it but don't think it's his place to get involved so avoiding strong comments either way is the smart outcome.

If he helps us win a premiership
I couldn’t care less if he went to Bali Monday-Thursday every week.
I know it’s a shot down option but I’ll hang myself out to dry and say absolutely I’d love to have DeGoey play for us.
Think he will go to Norf on that big fat contract. They will offer it to him again

He’s in a no win situation. I thought he did ok to deflect it, saying with any player it’s up to the list managers to do due diligence. Hinkley basically said the same.

About 1000 to 1100 points ... Bruhn has played a lot more than Caldwell already so I cant see it be less than Caldwell , probably more.

Yeah I think our first outright is probably the most likely. Maybe we haggle a pick back
Were the picks traded on both sides really not used?
If so, that makes me sad. These clubs with an embarrassing numbers of draft riches (albeit thanks to some embarrassing on-field performances) that their R2 or R3 picks are just wasted. We could only wish... or maybe not.
Is Bruhn really worth paying that much for? I haven’t been blown away by him. He does some nice things but isn’t a great ball winner, at this stage at least. I wouldn’t be giving up a lot to get him. Particularly, with this draft being relatively deep into the 3rd round.

Yeah they both moved the conversation away to talk generally but I just wish there was the ability to speak more freely. Agree it would have made a big story if he had of said anything more.
I just wish we were at a point where coaches and players can say more what they think.
What about Paul Tsapatolis? How’s he coming along as a third or second ruck banana.

It would not be a premiership that I could enjoy. I wouldn’t be watching if he was playing for Geelong.
If he goes to North then I’d say he’ll end is career early as they won’t have the support structure to ensure he can keep playing good footy. Slim chance now that he goes to another club I would’ve thought.
