Doedee, Bergman and Lohmann in one trade period.

Guessing
Free Agent signing of Doedee
Brisbane First for Bergman + later picks swaps
Mid-Late Second for Lohmann
Draft Croft

Our first for will be later than Lions first.

There is no way that we don’t go deeper in finals than those pretenders.

Kane McAuliffe with our first as a big tough defensively minded midfielder.

Are we anticipating that we’ll have a fair amount of cap space to play with? Before the trade period, there was a realistic chance that the club was preparing to have both Dunkley & Hunter on the list for the 2023 & 2024 seasons at around a combined $1 million per season.

I’m assuming we’ve brought forward a chunk of future cap into 2023 to absorb those ‘losses’.

 

[bobs head soup]

I don't mind the idea. Effectively you have:
Centre bounce: Macrae (HFF) / Richards (MID) / [Player X] (HBF)
Secondary stoppage: [Player X] (HFF) / Macrae (MID) / Richards (HBF)

The big question is obviously who is player X? None of our small forwards are obvious candidates to line up on the HBF for the centre bounce. Long term wouldn't mind Bedendo there - good enough overhead for the quick opposition clearance and then can easily transition forward.

Jamarra would be brilliant at this. Has the running capacity and would be a serious weapon pushing into the 50 without a defined opponent.

 

[Mofra]

Doedee feels like he'll be staying in Adelaide, just driving up his price a bit.

That probably means the crows can't afford Himmelberg who would look great in our defence.

Throw in Keath & Bruce’s long term decent sized contracts both ending this year IIRC?

Yeah good call I could see this.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with us trialing young players in new positions of need so long as the core of the side stays the same week to week, IMO this is very different than where the angst was coming from towards Bevs scattergun selections of Treloar to HB which wasn’t a need, Hannan back, Young ruck etc etc

Playing 3 talls at both ends and experimenting with flankers week to week or trialing new players in our CB rotations, is fine by me and always has been. So long as the moves have merit towards fixing our holes and we actually give them a proper chance to succeed

 

[dergert]

We cannot afford any players now after Arty Jones' new contract

 

[doggies ftw]

After the roaring success of JOD we should get Matty Inness down to have a look at Zak Evans as another cricketing free hit. Doedee and Bergman should release lil Red into brownlow winning inside mid, and Lohman to finally add some connection between Fwd & Midfield.

Exciting off season coming up

Must admit, when reading that article
I thought the exact same thing

Has anyone ever seen you, Sean Lawson and Matt Spangher in the same room?!

I have absolutely no idea who he is - give us laymen a brief description of what he is and where he would help us...

Worst person to ask for a brief description haven’t really payed any attention on him. Just seen his name mentioned on here a few times

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

OK this is our biggest game of the year so far.
They have pulled every lever to get their players up for the game...
Would be a win to remember if we get up.

Can he get into Barker's yet for one of those famous rolls?

Just an aside....I really did see Jonathan Patton on the Gold Coast last week in Broadbeach

Lost his way - and his calendar - preparing for schoolies?!

He's a winger from Port. He went one pick before Weightman in the draft, and we were very interested. Quick, aggressive, huge leap, and good kick.

Statistically a shocking kick this year but argument from Port fans is he’s regularly taking on the difficult kick. Others have pointed out he’s still well below league average even adjusting for difficulty (however Champion Data figures that out).

Ballard from GC was awesome last night. Some people may want to focus on Rowell or Anderson; but he was easily BOG. Contested intercept marking…. He reminded me of Brian Harris (Lake).

Not that GC would consider trading him but one can dream.

He’s a very good player. Mentioned this previously but my mail was Dalrymple was disappointed with the picks we gave up for Schache as he wanted to use one on Ballard. Would have been very handy!
