Jack Watts was a number 1 draft pick
This absolutely feels like when we traded him in

Hell at least would be exciting. We're in limbo.
To be fair, i'd be an upgrade on the last few years Dixon.. and im an old fat campaigner

He's a pick 2 and young, not like the other corpses we've traded capital for.
I hope coming home and getting to work alongside Rozee gives them both a kick in the arse and they improve.

Rule #1 in our future trade strategy has to be avoiding any trade involving the words Jack or Rat at all costs.
Inb4 we draft some VFL mature ager called Jack "Roller" Ratt in a couple of years with the FA compo pick we get for losing Butters.

We’re going with two lead up forwards not necessarily gorilla body on body forwards in Georgiades/Lukosius 2013/2014 style ala Westhoff/Schulz. One of them will have to go from having the second/third best defender to the first oppo defender without Dixon/King being there.
We also have
Finlayson - who knows what happens next year re injury and family situation
Ratugolea - when he actually trains as a key forward in the pre season/ does he go back if we have a major injury to our KPD personnel
Marshall - re injury and concussions
Then the more unlikely
Scully - will he even be on our list in 2025
Visentini - ?as a forward/ruck
Id think wed spent much of 25 with the luko/george combo

Reckon he replaces Marshall, who surely is weighing up his future currently.

Pinstripe jacket man McDermot on Fox footy reckons his 5th in line behind Finlayson.
I know he can kick and move but can he mark?
Hoping Cripps uses our #13 pick on Josh Schache. Maybe tries to lure Ned McHenry here too.
This is a magnificent get. Lukosius is the best player traded this year, sorry Dan.
39 goals in 2023 at age 23. That should’ve been the launching pad for a great career under Hardwick but Hardwick couldn’t decide where to play him. Wouldn’t be the first player to fail under one coach only to succeed under another.
Has all the tools to be a great leading forward- pace, endurance, good hands and a long accurate kick.
We now have the two best junior players to come from SA in a decade.

A bloke that a 3 time premiership coach doesn't want and a guy who can't get a game at Collingwood when they've got a mostly fit list and it only cost us a first rounder and the best half back in the game.... Let's get excited.
