When you are extremely pleased with something it’s ‘rapt’ not ‘wrapped’. 

The difference between ‘too’ and ‘to’ and between ‘their’ and ‘there’ should be obvious unless you have a serious intellectual disability.

I could go on, but as many on here appear to be close to illiterate why bother?

Mate its a footy forum, not a board meeting..

Why are we delisting players who are still make the 22 deep into a hopeful finals campaign?

I'd hang onto all three of Kent Jkh and Tyson unless we are bringing in proven talent and experience. 

I’m finding it a bit uncomfortable calling time on guys who are playing a part going into the most important month of footy the club has had in a decade.

Will be back later. 

I don’t think Tyson is in our best 22 come round 1, next year. Especially if we manage to land Gaff. A club will probably sense he’s gettable, and might offer him a nice contract along with guaranteed AFL opportunities and in that case he’d probably request a trade

If you're flabbergasted by Demonland, have a look at the other 17 AFL team fan forums... I bet we sound like Poetry. But on a side note, I too am frustrated when people can't distinguish "loose and lose."

Yeah that one can be a bit frustrating. 

Whike on the subject, why are there so many people in the general public (not on DL) who say ‘quite’ instead of ‘quiet’? 

“Yeah that date shouldn’t be a problem mate, our factory has been quite lately.”

Hunt should be retained. He shows great potential. He just needs to think more before he passes the ball. His position on the field may not be back. Perhaps wing or forward of centre. He’s fast and can kick long and accurately. It’s just his footy smarts with disposal that need improvement.

And some even confuse ‘his’ and ‘he’s’. Including Tim Watson on SEN!!

Hang on. Why are we trading out Tyson simply for a pick? Gaff would come in as a FA. Unless you package a pick you get for Tyson to get a real 'need' onto the list, I'd be holding on to Tyson as depth.

To get someone with more speed and run into the team.  Or to trade up in this draft.

Have to trade something to get something.

Tyson is rebuilding his confidence and his disposal has picked up the last couple of weeks. Aside from confidence possibly getting used to have a little more time on outside rather than rushing disposal.

Bumping his value up.   We have too many inside slowish Mids.   And not any of value to other clubs.

Tyson would be on decent coin as well.

This is the key DL5.

 

And we have to continue churning, to stay near the top of the list pile.   We still have a way to climb to get to the top.

Some of our kids are currently overrated on their output.

Some are just starting to give.

Is that Welsh?

So do we now say goodbye to Messrs Bugg and Kennedy Harris.

Garlett traded perhaps as well. (What a difference a season makes).

both are out of contract so would be in danger of delisting

Can someone please tell me if Garlett has a contract next year? If so, do we have a little chat or do we keep him on next year's list? At the moment he is showing little, but there may be a reason (family etc). After 3 game this year he was being touted as the best small forward in the competition, not sure what has happened.

Contracted until the end of 2019.

Hard decision..trade (would we get much) or retain. I think he will want to go somewhere that he gets game time and the game plan suits him.

Our relatively crowded forward line does not suit him in my view.

You would think that our method of haphazardly pumping the ball inside 50 would suit him to a Tee, and it did early, but something not right with him and unless he finds his mojo, he may be a casualty I believe

Yeah not feeling good about his future with us at all now. Think that would be close to it. 

Interesting on Jeffy. Ross Lyon is looking for experience, could Jeffy fit the bill? He is from WA and provided they absorb his full contract he could be had for a pick in the 50- 60s range.

 

Update post round 21

Retired. Balic.  Vince (likely). 

Delist Johnstone (re rookie). Bugg. Jkh. McKenna. King.  Filopovic (r) 

Trade - Garlett to Freo pick 55-60 ish

rookie upgrade - keilty

T smith and Maynard stay as rookied

that gives us 7 picks plus a rookie spot 

add - 2 x free agents

add - 5 through draft incl Toby Bedford 

add - 1 rookie

need to get a ruckman for Gawn backup

It is a concern that we have not be able to identify / draft or trade-in a capable ruckman since 2009.

 

I would draft 24yo Alex Barns from nth Adelaide. Big ruck/fwd. 201 cms. Physically ready. Can play as a key forward as well. Shhhh

rapt - feeling great rapture or delight.

Wrapped - covered with.

But let's face it, footy fan sites are exempt from grammar, spelling and sometimes commonsense and that is part of their attraction,
