Hayes rocks up to Moorabbin in December. Meanwhile our second ruck is zaine Cordy and Sweet nowhere to be seen.


Flat.
 
About what I expected from Lipinski. Playing well with more opportunity and his kicking i50 is still great. Disappointing thing to see is his defensive efforts haven’t seemed to improved at all

Yep, many people have told me over the years that we still go for best available, despite us needing to develop talls. There are rucks out there and we just never go for them. Ceglar wasn’t going to be the most amazing recruit ever, but went dirt cheap and is a huge upgrade on Martin, who many say is cooked and shouldn’t have gone on this year.

We would have actually been fine.. but now “English wants to be #1”.. and that just completely throws us out of whack.

Means Sweet and Martin will be playing twos. It’s 2022 and we’re having the same bloody conversations.
 
Hayes at 194cm had an excellent SANFL record from his 93 games, he averaged...

1.3 goals
15 disposals
6 marks (2 contested)
6 hitouts
106 ranking points

Mind-boggling that we didn't look at him.
Wow. Didn't realise he was that short at 194cm?

Aside....Lol. Lippi giving $1m Brad Hill a bath

Has Power had enough time to recruit a decent key defender?
I think it was after Power arrived that we picked a very promising young defender called Naughton.

Unfortunately it didn’t work out.☹️
 
It’s sad but Melbourne’s ability to land Lever and May may be the difference between us in the coming years.

We're always going to be behind the 8 ball when it comes to attracting players without having to pay overs. Teams like Carlton, Collingwood and Melbourne have a certain prestige to playing there that we and St. Kilda don't have.

Saints have attracted heaps of players.. sadly just not the right ones for them lol and probably too many! Higgins, Howard, Hill, Crouch is probably nothing to scoff at.

We did well with Keath and Bruce but we really needed to add another tall this year.

And they paid big money for Hill and Crouch; Howard was an absolute steal and Higgins was a depth player at the Tigers in a position where they had half a dozen players that could play it.
 
Jack Hayes scored more AFL Rating points than all 22 of our players on Wednesday night while Lipinski scored more Ranking Points than 21 of our players.
In our players defence, bit of a difference in the quality of the opposition our players faced compared to the game tonight.

Still though, would be nice to look at a development tall instead of taking another depth mid who is about 12 injuries away from starting (and thats if we don't spin the magnets either).

Yeah, I really thought we would have looked at Charlie Dean from Williamstown.

I really don't want to look back in 5 or so years and see that we missed out on a flag because of Bevo, Power's and Milesi's lack of tall talent ID.
