Do mids get the ball to wingers much these days? Rarely at centre bounces. Maybe less so at around the ground stoppages where the winger often covers the back.

Backlines that win the ball get it to wingers folding back. May had an instant connection with Langdon. And forwards that create pressure so hack kicks go to the waiting wingmen too. 
 

The biggest appeal to Smith could be that second scenario. Langdon either marked or had the ball running inside 50 enough times to kick 10+ goals this year. He finished with 2 goals 8. 

 

Yeh, they do.

    We are just waiting on Smith to decide now , stay at Hawthorn or come across to us.

    ???

    tom morris reckons that the hawks are 2 years plus a trigger for a third, whereas ours is a straight up three year offer - although i thought there was some speculation that third year was a combo of playing / coaching

    Be very careful with recruiting yesterday's player

    We have had trouble understanding today’s player let alone prognosticating tomorrows player. So maybe yesterday is where we should be heading - 4th dimensionally speaking.

    I'm non committal on the guy but if the issue is all about the guarantee of a third year and not money then why can't we just front end his contract to pay him what he's likely to be worth to us over the next 24 months ? The only contention with year 3 then might be about whether he's taking up a valuable list spot.

    That's probably true but you can easily be seduced by what a player did in the past, in a great team,  when he was younger.

    Gives us what we need, skill level, leadership and the ability to play wing.

    Dees have a habit of over paying with long contracts to get players into the club. Not sustainable if you want success.

    no idea.. not exactly exciting, but can't be excited by every player.. hey we DID get tomlinson last year.

    Anyone who doesn't want Smith on a wing for the next couple of years (or three) really is clueless about football.

    Makes even more sense if the club allows Jetta to chase more playing time at the Pies.

    He would replace everything in terms of experience and professionalism that you would lose with Jetta, and he is also going to give us better on field service than what Jetta could in the next few years (and that's not a criticism of Nev either).

    Hopefully we can get this over the line!

    I reckon this might mean we go for Phillips and trade him with Jetta. Be interesting to see.

    Didn't think of that part.  Obviously it wouldn't be a straight swap, but if they're keen then it could definitely be done.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
