Want more sources then just Adam Edmund

More than Edmund are saying he's a sure thing for us.

What a terrible board member. They should resign

Maybe a bored member?

I don’t want Young because he lacks hardness and competitiveness which are major weaknesses in a defender.
No surprise Voss who values those traits wants to move him.

There are only limited options for KPDs. None of them are stars unless we could convince Barrass or maybe TDK to come to us.

Young, Tomlinson, DGB and Derkson are some of the other options. Young is the best of the cheap options imo. We could hope for improvements in Dean and Eyre.

Still over a Week before Trade Period Starts

Free Agency starts on Friday so those deals could happen in less than a week.

That’s 50 all day

Wrong thread I think but I agree

Adding talented kids into an established team is different to a start up of talented kids.

Let's face it, we'd be a bottom six list without having got lucky with draft concessions. They've got that luck built in.

They’ve been in the league for 13 years, only so long you can claim start up status.

Regardless, was more in relation to the ‘our average age is old we need heaps of kids, and first round picks are guaranteed stars’ type argument.

The draft has its place, but it’s a risky basket to put all your eggs.

Young will let us down when the pressure is on and hard ball needs to be won.
I’m fine with the other options you’ve offered.

 

[SchuPie]

It depends on Hines list and the order he has them in, there's no deviating from the list unfortunately

- Logan Morris?
(Edit: it is f$&@ing infuriating watching him play)
(Edit no2: I love Hine - he’s delivered a couple of flags and almost another 2-3 and I’ve never wanted him gone…until those comments he made after the draft in 2023 about his order)

The Lions must be wishing they had traded out of draft instead of taking Lohman

Agree on Young

The other options, imo, are blah
You’d be better rolling the dice in the draft and back yourself than go with any of them

I'm referring to them as an established team now. They'll come hard soon. I meant the original calls of GC are going to dominate was the start up when 25 talented kids and 15 journey men, solo artists and loose canons were thrown together in a party town and unsurprisingly it went to shit.

Marchbank would be another cheap option, although his injury history doesn't inspire confidence.
When fit he can play.

So, he’s not teasing you.

 

[SchuPie]

What did Hine say?

Gave his post draft run-down
Talked about who they took and why - just took Haz bc he was next on the list
Said they had organised trade w Richmond to move up to grab Morris if he made it past WCE + Lions

• Morris clearly a list need and played a fantastic TAC final
• was there at our first
• if we really wanted HDM, it would have been so much easier to move up for him
• just dumb dumb dumb

It reeked of smugness and lacked foresight

I think you can still find the vid on CFC website

I'll be glad when the " The List" goes

The list, in many respects, is fine, but be ready to shift gear, be smart, be strategic.

“The List” is also a bit of a fallacy

• I believe he rated Pendles higher than Daisy but took Daisy first to ensure he got both…didn’t seem to follow the list that time
• admitted when he took McMahon that he selected for needs…what happened to the list that time?

It’s either a philosophy or not

Hine’s been amazing (especially really high and low picks) but it’s time

Especially when other sides are starting to recruit for needs more and more

 

[Buckley is my hero]

Houston would be another N Daicos in the backline. It was what was missing off half back for most of our year. Petracca would be like another slightly more consistent and prolific DeGoey. Don't get me wrong I would like both but if I had to pick one it would be Houston and that is before we take into account the 18 months age difference and the extra draft picks needed to get Petracca. The Norm Smith is a bad argument. It make Petracca automatically better than Daicos, Cripps, Ablett Jr etc. Use the AA advantage if you have to.

I guarantee you that if Carlton is able to score Petracca next year, you can mark them off to play against Brisbane in next year's grand final.
