Apparently his disposal is red hot garbage
Cant get a game at the dons
Tsatas worth a look? Extremely highly rated pre draft. Has speed and outside game that Hopper and Taranto don't. VFL stats are excellent.
Not apparently. It is. They had him re-learn his entire kicking action and he was missing shots from the goalsquare.Apparently his disposal is red hot garbage

Wonder if this guy would be a handy Naismith replacement? Looked decent at the Giants but battled for opportunity.
Wasn’t up against top ruck opposition on the weekend but that is a very big game. Shows huge appetite.
Yes, our 2025 plans in disarray due to an unfortunate loss.

Did they mention it as a pick upgrade package for Essendon 1st round pick?Jay Clark on the Midweek Tackle said Richmond might be into Tsatas if Rioli goes to the GC. What would he cost in a trade, pick 21?
And what makes it worse is that they always seem to have highly rated academy players. Lombard’s another one this year, and I read somewhere that there was a potential top pick coming through next year.Apologies if I'm showing my ignorance but why do the GCS seem to have multiple top 10 picks every @#^@^%@%& draft.
I am aware of them trading Sharp and Rankine recently but @#$^@ Me if they always have 2 or 3 faaaarkin picks inclusive of academy picks.
Sounds like Luke Meehan got to him toonot too sure, whenever he is feeling up to jumping back on is the short answer.
Very much week to week prospect at this stage, but hopefully we see him soon!
you got it RT..this 100% should be the game plan going foward.Our list is not in position to take on opposition clubs busts. The process this off season should be quite simple, cut as much deadwood as possible and replace it with young high quality potential. Repeat the process in 2025 and look to bring in quality free agent/trade targets as well as young talent when we will have the likes of Martin Lynch Grimes Prestia off the books and cap space to fill.
Deadwood like Jeremy Sharp, Blake Acres, Ginnivan, D'Ambrosio, Chol etc etc?you got it RT..this 100% should be the game plan going foward.
no picking up deadwood
trading to improve our draft hand and then invest in youth
then repeat the process next year.
My main thought is who is going to carry the pick into draft night?tigs2010 further to the list management discussion from the other day. We could effectively leave a bunch of players unsigned during the trade period which gives us maximum flexibility regarding trading picks. We'd then have about 2 weeks from the end of trading to sign or cut players depending on how our draft hand is positioned
And this Kid was No 5 in the AFL Draft ? Better check your sources !To be fair it would have been bloody tough for Dodoro to pick that up while he was spending all his time watching our VFL team.
point taken..Deadwood like Jeremy Sharp, Blake Acres, Ginnivan, D'Ambrosio, Chol etc etc?
Just gotta pick the right ones...
We should be targeting young guys that will cost us a 3rd or less that can fill a hole. Top teams will have a whole heap of top picks wasting away in the ressies.Deadwood like Jeremy Sharp, Blake Acres, Ginnivan, D'Ambrosio, Chol etc etc?

Why are we being linked to all the draft flops?
Phillips and now Tsatas
Gotta save our picks so we can have our own draft flops to try and palm off in a few years
.Deadwood like Jeremy Sharp, Blake Acres, Ginnivan, D'Ambrosio, Chol etc etc?
Grigga/Houli/Nank
Just gotta pick the right ones...
Yeah definitely. It's something we haven't seemed to even consider for the past few years (apart from Kosi who was never going to be a regular) and I don't know why. Every off season there are bargain buys and we never even have a crack.We should be targeting young guys that will cost us a 3rd or less that can fill a hole. Top teams will have a whole heap of top picks wasting away in the ressies.
Konstanty been linked a few times, 1st round pick that hasn't played and is behind Papley (interesting to see if he plays this week with Papley injured)
**** yes.
I think Tsatas highlights the trap that we can’t, and some posters are already falling into before the factI saw a game where Tsatas almost missed his boot. And another where he launched into a shot from just inside-50 and it barely made the goal square. He’s also soft. It’s a very hard NO for Tsatas… I have no idea how he went so high, as it wasn’t a surprise as he was always touted top-5.
How is Dodoro the cockroach still there? They had the promising D’Ambrosio and let him go for a bag of crisps. In Dodoro’s time have more top-10 draft busts/disappointments than almost any other club (Gumbleton, Myers, Melksham, Francis, McGrath, Reid, Cox, Perkins, Tsatas). Then there’s the failed trades and FA acquisitions that look like long-term financial black holes (Gresham, McKay).
Their only recent wins were a free hit in the MSD from our VFL program in Durham. Then a good trade to get Caldwell. But the failed top-10 picks in recent years means this club is really going to struggle to get out of mid-table mediocrity… you just can’t afford to get so many high end picks wrong.
