Would be a bit of a disaster tbh. Just rebuilding with our natural 1st each year will take ages to get to the point where FA's want to come.Inb4 we hold Bolton and Rioli to their contracts, JGTI knocks back Eagles, Baker goes to Eagles for a future 2nd rounder and we go to the draft with pick 1 and 21.
Not to mention our natural first will probably be 4-6 each year instead of 1-3 so we'd be reliant on other teams not taking players we want/need.Would be a bit of a disaster tbh. Just rebuilding with our natural 1st each year will take ages to get to the point where FA's want to come.
I've struggled to look past my bias with him since I was told he tested slow. He's a very good player and yet I still just can't get past itSTOKED that we're giving Langford a go, he's the one I want the most.
His athletic profile scares me, especially when we are already lacking pace through our midfield.STOKED that we're giving Langford a go, he's the one I want the most.
We are primed for Brisbanes 1st pick. We hold the power in that move. If we bid on Ashcroft @1. They will need 2500 points to match. Currently don’t have that, so will need to trade with a club that has the points they need. Best to deal with us, as we give them the points and decide not to bid on Ashcroft with pick 1, saving them around 500 points. Gives us a pick around 14-17.Inb4 we hold Bolton and Rioli to their contracts, JGTI knocks back Eagles, Baker goes to Eagles for a future 2nd rounder and we go to the draft with pick 1 and 21.
It's what I've been banging on about his elite attributes. The agility, ability to get out of trouble, the skills, the decision making. He didn't lose any of that by being out injured. He just lost the fitness to accumulate.Even though it was only glimpses on the weekend, I think I'd be taking FOS at #1 now. It's difficult to explain, but he just looks like an elite prospect with the way he moves.
I'm a big Jagga fan, but seeing FOS alongside him showed a definite gap in class between the two players.
They won’t hold Bolton due to his young family. Deal will get done.Inb4 we hold Bolton and Rioli to their contracts, JGTI knocks back Eagles, Baker goes to Eagles for a future 2nd rounder and we go to the draft with pick 1 and 21.
Not all Africans and other countries, just those showing MacAndrew traits.So send recruiters to 190+ countries and have them scout for athletic kids playing sports that are not AFL. And then what? Hand them a footy and tell them to kick it?
Or do we just focus on Africans because you know, Mac Andrew who has been here from 18-months and grown up playing footy does it really well, so surely any African kid can do the same, what with their athleticism and all?

I agree...They won’t hold Bolton due to his young family. Deal will get done.
I keep reading this. Wasn't it a finger injury? Why has it set his fitness back so far?It's what I've been banging on about his elite attributes.

I think he would have only had 50% game time yesterday. Get his fitness to the point where he's getting 30 in the CTL (averaged 23.3 as bottom ager so accumulation isnt an issue) and we'd have a stand out #1.
Bolton going nowhereThey won’t hold Bolton due to his young family. Deal will get done.
Exactly, ideally your looking to find and develop the next MacAndrew who could be the biggest thing since Ablett SnrYou mean like the herald sun?

I'd say partly it's match fitness but someone said when you're finger is in a splint you're told not to run/exercise.I keep reading this. Wasn't it a finger injury? Why has it set his fitness back so far?![]()
Unless he asks us to trade him back to Perth for family reasons. We won’t hold him back imo, if that’s the case and we get strong compensationBolton going nowhere
