I wasn't aware of that. I don't mind him. He has deficiencies he needs to work on, but I think he's growing.

Yeah from what I've heard there's been no knocks on any of his off field stuff since he's been with us, may have been the kick up the bum he needed

Hopefully it's the same for Clarke too

I wish the club would tell us if Keith is staying or going.

Poulter seems like he was expecting to skate by on potential a bit longer. When he got delisted, he specifically came to our VFL side and worked his arse off to get back on a list. Was probably good for him.

Speed speed and more speed, mids and small fwds is surely the Main focus for the draft?

Mids, wingmen and small forwards surely.

Mids, wingmen and small forwards surely.

Maybe Baz can hook us up with some

If u guys get Butters to agree to request a trade to the Dogs, you guys do realise how much it will cost you.

How many future firsts do u guys have?

Do you realise the value he could bring ? Sometimes you just pay the price e.g. Horne Frsncis
Can jog on now mate no one is under any illusion he would be cheap

We got Harvey Gallagher in the same draft with a pick in the 40s.
The draft was a dud, Gags isn't.

I'm not quite there yet with Gags. Showed flashes this year and has good attributes, but needs to find a way to get more involved in the game. Good signs, but not a sure thing yet imo.

I don’t see his future as an inside mid. His attributes scream flanker to me.

If past performance is indeed the most effective indicator of future performance and the more recent its, the more predictive, than surely Daniel's actual 2024 season is the most relevant predictor here?

Daniel played two good games in the final two rounds of the H&A season but other than that it was a generally poor season including being ineffectual often when coming on as the sub, and he himself playing poorly which was a factor in costing us the win vs Geelong in the gather round game.

All of this without outstanding VFL forn this year when he played there - even Oskar Baker was the better VFL player in games they played together.

I agree Daniel is a champion of our club and has reinvented himself before and could do so again. It is through that possibility we got pick 25, a meaningful pick with a reasonable chance of a good player (unlike e.g. the 38 we gave up for Kennedy, which is a pick that significantly drops off). But it's strange not to treat his 2024 season for what it was - even worse than Macrae`s?

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Past performance is the only indicator of future performance.
