As a defensive forward, not a mid.

He's not proven at any senior level as a mid so shouldn't be brought into the conversation yet...

Merely talking about him as depth. Would have played more than just the 2 games if he wasn't injured IMO, but even still, breaking through for senior games in your first year qualifies you as being listed as 'depth' in my books.

    Sparrow debuted in his first year, then missed the second half of the year with injury.

     

    He debuted due to a decent injury list, and only debuted as a very late inclusion in the side.

    He can't really be considered depth at this stage, although that could change next year if he improves.

    Guess 'depth' is one of those words everyone has a different interpretation on. Happy to agree to disagree, seems a common thing in footy!

    To me, if you've played senior games you're depth. Coming in when there's injuries is almost the definition of depth really. Can understand where you and others are coming from, it's just different to how I see it I guess.

    There’s more than one way to swim a lap.

    Trade pick 3 to GWS for picks 12, 14 and a decent player. Along with pick 20 (likely Langdon) there’s more than enough cachet to go a long way to addressing the outside midfield problem. 

    Four inside midfielders is not an excessive number. Ideally you want a balance of four inside and four outside in your rotation. 

    Hi Rangey/ Matsuo,

    Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes, Viney. Swallow will get more inside game time in 2020, Jones is only of value as an insider. A leaner, fitter Trac will play in the guts too.

    7 potential inside mids.

    0 potential outside mids ATM, at best maybe Baker. Langdon is B grader, pick 21 indicative of this

    Given Jones has just re-signed and cannot be traded, I'd say the player there of biggest trade value (apart from Oliver) is Gus or Viney. I've come around to that scenario rather than trading Trac.

    I asked for a direct quote. You quoted Tim Brown. And you’re talking about maturity. Please. 

    Who is Matsuo?

    Yeah, I'm gonna tap out now. Have a good one.

    Pick 8 is too much for Laird even with the second rounder back. He’s a back flanker.

    possibly

    i reckon it's what adelaide would expect for a dual all-australian best and fairest winner in the prime of his career

    we're also getting amon out of it in this scenario

    You said Petracca would get us a pick between 8-15.

    You then went on to talk about how Petracca hasn't finished top 10 in the Bluey.

    Now you're saying pick 8 is too expensive for a 25 year old 2 x All-Australian and reigning BnF winner.

    Given he has 2 bros and a lot of extended family there, I for one am shocked!

    Edit. But i'll start the ball rolling: Gus + 21 for Cerra and Langdon.

    The most disturbing part of this is that you follow Ricky Nixon on twitter.

    My lefty sources tell me he was drinking an almond milk latte with Nate Fyfe before going to inspect a few potential rammed earth homes with Pav and Longmuir and Belly.

    Not that I think Nixon is right but there is so much noise around Brayshaw that just seems to not stop. Would be disappointed to lose him though Pick 3 that is still young and although his putrid 2019 his absence would leave us too thin in the middle of the ground IMO. 

    Unless we could really over-capitalise on the trade I'd say no deal because he's worth more to our team and list than his true worth atm I think.

    Putrid 2019 where he still finished in the B&F top 10.

    Agree Big Kev, but that's just an indication where we are as a footy club.

    Not surprised at all like a few others as Gus played unhappy this season & with all his family in Perth, a move there makes sense.

    Good luck Gus.

    Mahoney put that rumour to bed a few days ago on trade radio.  I'm inclined to believe him, especially if Nixon is the one spreading the rumour.

    If his old man takes up the Dockers CEO job I could see this coming to fruition one day - but not yet. 

    Of all the media I’ve seen of all the Brayshaw’s, they seem like a family with really strong values and I reckon Gus will honour his current contract with us. 

    Having all the kids close by is something a lot parents would love but others like the Brayshaw’s probably prefer they grow from experience of the ups and downs of life rather than the cuddles from mum and dad or his bro’s in Perf.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
