[Pencil case]

Worth a crack

 

[JTCWBFC]

Harry sharp has chosen the hawks

 

[adogsfan5]

Sharp and XOH would be genuine upgrades on VDM and McNeil.

 

[Graeme Cook]

He played 19 games this year..

No fringe player he's got pace kicks goals goes in hard and most important Bulldogs is in his BLOOD.

That’d be a long contract for a fringe player

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Bring him home

Tony Lockett is from Ballarat. Morally a Bulldogs legend.

 

[Foxman98]

Sharp and XOH would be genuine upgrades on VDM and McNeil.

Sharp is a wingman not a HFF

 

[stefoid]

But you get the 15th best "available" player. I understand that FS and academy picks are talented kids, but they are simply not available and we would never have had access to them.
I'm talking about AVAILABILITY, not talent list

compo picks for Battle etc.. push you back.

 

[Mojorisin]

Sharp is a wingman not a HFF

Mcneil played a fair chunk of time on the wing

 

[The Slitherin' Snake]

Mcneil played a fair chunk of time on the wing

I went to “like” this to support your post, but realised I very much do not like this

 

[Libbaaaa]

We say that but its is clear as day that Vanders will always play if fit, form be damned.

Also the Crows getting Neal-Bullen for the same pick they got for trading Shane McAdam

is an absolute fleecing. McAdam still has two years left on his deal with the Dees.

We say that but its is clear as day that Vanders will always play if fit, form be damned.

That's not to say that we don't identify the fact that we have to play him as a weakness, just that there's always going to have to be a role for a player who is capable of doing x repeat sprints per game.

In other words, if we had somehow found a way to draft Darcy Wilson as a first year player (one of the rare players who outdid Vandermeer in repeat sprints stats, despite his age), even though Darcy Wilson was not an outstanding footballer, how many games would have Vandermeer gotten?

It's more of a reflection of a lack of talent of players who are vaguely similar to Vandermeer, rather than a desire to rate Vandermeer illogically. He's unique, not overrated.

 

[Dogs Rule]

I would love for Power to go back to law for a day just to stare down and prosecute Morris in the dock (who I just assume will end up in court one day for saying something stupid/offensive again).

 

[stefoid]

For 4 years he'd want to be training with Usain Bolt.

4 years makes me nervous

"possessing a combination of speed and endurance" is about all you need to know to understand why we are targeting him, although I think he might be more of a small forward option for us? i.e. that VDM/McSteal replacement that people have been clamouring for?

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Also the Crows getting Neal-Bullen for the same pick they got for trading Shane McAdam is an absolute fleecing. McAdam still has two years left on his deal with the Dees.

Adelaide have actually been a decently run team since they moved on from power stance Burton era, it's just that they're still paying for their sins for so many horrible first round draft pick selections

 

[PocketRocket08]

Couldn’t care less about one year extra or less in contract length. People were quibbling over how many years we offered Bailey Williams. They probably couldn’t say off the top of their heads how many years he has left now.

GWS have a deep midfield and collection of flankers and wings. They drafted Phoenix Gothard at 12 last year and he was better than our small forwards at VFL level and didn’t play a game. Our flankers and wings are ordinary. O’Halloran would be best 23 for us immediately. As long as we avoid a big overpay on trade price I hope we get it done.

*No doubt we’re angling to turn what we get for Macrae into O’Halloran. Better fit and cheaper.

stats wise Gothard was pretty much same as Clarke though Gothard played higher and spent time in midfield. I’m huge Gothard fan. Loves to tackle. I think we should have Chased him. he is behind on the pecking order at giants

I don’t think he was a barrister!

Now talking about Power in some weird sexual posts.

Something wrong with those idiots

I'll feel really sorry for Macrae when he ends up there and ends up on the end of a belting from the dogs

Did the posts involve dwarfs. Jacko should really stay clear if they did

Doesn't matter - he's still got Morris covered by a mile

 

[SweatOnMySkin]

all the take of PSD, time for the daily reminder that if it came to it Smith would walk to the national draft. Not the PSD where nobody would go near him with a first rounder and he would get drafted to Geelong using their first

 

[Hobdog]

Undoubtedly! Dennis Denuto would have his measure.

For what it would take to get Houston, I would avoid.

Although a good player in prime age, he’s far from the type of player we need.

Young mids and pacy forward half players should be the priority.

I’m not so sure that no one take him.

Agree with this, no significant difference between he and Dale and I don’t think it’s a good use of resources to have big money tied up in two half back distributors when we get good enough output out of a cheap as chips Bramble.

 

[cleveland]

Yep, i dont want Houston. I want a young Butters/Rozze type that can play half forward before becoming a gun mid.
