Surely your not writing him off after he's first year ? My god

Absolutely not. I believe he will be solid. I think we grossly overpaid for a solid player.
Do I rate him….yes
Do I think we sold the farm for him…yes
Do I think it was worth the farm…No

That’s not writing him off, it’s just addressing the decision made

 

[Chalky White]

This is BS.

Disposals: 16.5 Abv Ave
Tackles: 4.6 Elite (3rd best at the Dogs)
Clearances: 2.4 Abv Ave
72% disp efficiency
5.4 cont poss, ave
3.5 Score assists, ave.

He achieved this with only 66% TOG.

Anyone who says this is disappointing for 1st year player who's playing in the guts has no idea.

On SM-G990E using BigFooty.com mobile app

And yet he was dropped and left out regularly.

if Garcia leaves?

 

[Angak]

Our KPD stocks have come a long, long way since the days of debating between Lewy Young and Ryan Gardner.

He was bagging Bevo after he left the club thinking he made it at Carlton

We we keen last year iirc

is putting a red line through most/all of other club's delistings as some minion hands him post it notes with names on them...

He what? No post it notes?!

He gets Co-pilot to manage a spreadsheet for him?! And doesn't even touch the keyboard, mouse or touch-screen, just updates it with his piercing eyes?!

"Look into my eyes, not around my eyes, into me eyes..."

 

[maddog37]

Did we overpay for Sanders. Time will tell.

Do we constantly berate the club for not taking big swings to access elite talent. Yes we do.

Can’t have it both ways.

 

[Bald]

Are you joking? Libba was off the charts. All the “experts” were gushing about getting Wallis, but it was Libba that had immediate impact.
Macrae got tons of the ball. So much so that I was confident in his second season he was a fantasy steal.
I don’t get the same vibe from Sanders, I think he will be a solid player for us going forward but I guess I was slightly underwhelmed by season 1. I hope his trajectory rapidly turns in season 2 onward

I wasn’t questioning whether Libba or Macrae had elite traits mate, settle down.

I was simply asking what they were.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Has Geelong at pick 56 name all over it

Yep and you just know he'll be another Mannagh and we'll add another McComb.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Turning 28 so might not have much growth left in him but he's a prolific tackler and has been a good VFL player for quite a while now.

I know a team that couldn't tackle to save itself in the first week of finals...

 

[ttomred17]

Contested beast, strong, determined, never gives up, I would take him at our club tomorrow and slot him in.

Gun. Won the Liston by 9 and hopefully captains a VFL flag on Sunday.

Right under our noses Dogs. Go get him.

Dom should be playing AFL. Its a mystery why he hasn't been given a chance yet.

Was the swing for Sanders or was the intended target Watson? Just what I wonder given the talk before it went down.

If we did all that for a Plan B who will probably be a good player but one that doesn’t address any real deficiencies we have…

i do think he will be good. Worth what we paid given what our side needs, not sure. Yes in the case of injury he’ll be very handy but if that’s something you’re counting on…

Fortunately the Freijah aspect of that trade is the silver lining so far. He alone may end up being worth it. If Sanders has the patience, when Libba hangs it up, he will rack up the touches too.

Do we throw Watson in the same basket as Wingard, Impey, Barrass etc as hopeful recruits who end up at Hawthorn?

 

[Mojorisin]

Jack Macrea officially nominates Saints.

[Cudi]

He's one I hope we target and type we should be looking at.

Not sure what hes worth but if we could somehow turn Marcae into him I think that be a win.

 

[Doggy]

That Geelong supporting idiot will still be in denial

 

[VitalDread]

if we want to move up in the trade

We could attach Pick 32 & Macrae for Pick 24

Sadly the horrible streets of Kew beat the lovely coast of Geelong this time around /s

Yuck

 

[my plums]

Yuck

So yuck

 

[Royale]

The thought of Macrae hitting his AA form at St Kilda just kills me.

 

[Sentinel]

Straight swap for Darcy Wilson. It's only fair, Macrae's a 3 time AA after all.

 

[fred cook]

The thought of Macrae hitting his AA form at St Kilda just kills me.

I feel the same way

 

[adogsfan5]

Great result for us. Saints have decent picks.
