Discuss everything to do with the Draft and Trade Week.

You could argue that we're not really off track since we finished second after the H & A season but in the spirit of seeking perfection and the fact that there's been an announcement of one major player moving on, we're going for the back on track tack.

Agreed, we need to bolster our ruck stocks now that Majak's moving on ... oh wait.

A power forward …. That’s all 

Nice to be here in September and not May.

Are there any promising goal-kicking coaches available in this year’s batch?

I feel dirty being here

Is Kossie on the way out, too?

Finally the real stuff 

Action Jackson has left the building. Don't want to say it but I was right. Melbourne stuffed up picking him at 3.

Could not agree less. He turned the 2021 GF on its head in that third quarter and we will be compensated for the trade. In no way a stuff up.

If only we stuffed up like that all the time, we would have a few more flags! 😉

How have we stuffed up?

We might actually end up with more.    If we end up dealing with W.C it will be pick 2, 20 and maybe something else. 

For a pick 3 i would do the trade again and again.

 I can't be mad with LJ, i witnessed 15 minutes of footballing brilliance half way through the 3rd quarter of a GF.

How? We are literally getting an upgrade in picks for him 

Jackson wants to go, it looked like his game changed for the worse mid season when he decided to.

He will be good for who ever gets him, so long as he is motivated.

For us, we have talls, JVR, Turner, Tmac, Weids as back-up ruck and Tomlinson as general back-up.

What we need is a big bodied, hit the packs hard forward.

Saw today there is rumour of Kysiah looking to go back to SA.

There goes some "X factor" (if) , difficult to replace. Though at his stage of development, he found it hard to stay in the game for the 4 quarters. (Not the only player at our club with that problem.) 

We have a few trying to be small forwards, but none are quite right. 

I'd be looking for a tall Langdon clone, someone who can out-mark his opponent, run two ways, is clean with the ball and makes good decisions. 

We need a back-up number one ruck if Max has some time off.

Draft a 105+ kg forward.

A 190+ cm mid/winger.

A 200+ cm ruck

A small who likes a goal and has the "X" factor.

Out; M. Brown, Laurie, Rosman, Baker

Hopefully Howes can fill that wing need at 190

Howes is every bit that player tbh.  He looks very special in the way he reads the game. Just has a knack of popping up in the right spot.  Good over head, good kick - just need to work on the tank.

And some outside runners with foot speed and kicking ability as well please.

It will be if all they cough up is pick 14 and Bailey Banfield as a sweetener.

What is he hearing..?? #ETtheTradeWhisperer.

I'd WC say pick 2 won't be used in any way to get LJ why would they even bother talking to them

Players come and go. The important thing is we have a proven recruitment team to spot the talent and replenish the list. I'd be very confident JT will pick up a real player with one of the picks we get in the Jackson trade

Trading & Drafting Board, anybody?

Love your work ET but #pleasedon'tteaseus...

Power forward who is a strong mark. Recruit or trade.

Wing/midfielder with excellent foot skills. Recruit or trade.

Take the best available in the draft.
