    I really don’t rate him. I watched a lot of the Hawks this year, both at VFL and AFL level Koschitzke is just that little bit off. NQR. I don’t think we’ve missed out there.

    Mitchell Lewis on the other hand is a dead set gun…

    Ah well there you go. Not too bummed we got Fullerton then, who will at least have some upside in the ruck.

    Haha damn straight! Is he available!? 🤣

    He has never really done anything.  He reminds me of Weed.  Looks like a footballer but doesn’t play like one

    Hawthorn appear to be accumulating more NQR tat than the bargain basement at Dimmeys.

    If we can go into the draft with pick 6, 11, McAdam, Fullarton, Billings and a backup ruck like Lycett we’ll have done incredibly well.
    Billings as wing depth, two potential ruck options should Gawny get sore or need a rest and some x-factor for the forwardline. That ticks all our boxes.
    Not to mention some potential gun mids or a move for one exceptional talent. Go Dees!

    Indeed.

    We used a 2nd and two 3rds to bring in Fullerton, Billings and McAdam. 

    Lost Jordan, Harmes and Grundy: depth or surplus to needs. Hibberd, Dunstan retired.

    And we have 6 and 11 to use in the draft

    I think that's a good outcome

    Essentially we've swapped Grundy for Fullarton/McAdam and Harmes for Billings. If we finish higher on the ladder than Sydney and Bulldogs then we've also upgraded our future 2nd and 3rd round picks in the process.

    We’ve done ok and better than most clubs but unless you can hand a big fish through free agency it’s hard to get too excited.

    That said, I’ll get excited if we convince WC to part with pick 1.

    I mean it’s a tough sell to say we did.  We have lost an AA ruck who if nothing else was brilliant cover when Max went down and probably contributed to Max finishing the season in better shape(even with his toe) than the year before. 
    JJ & Harmes out for McAdam and Billing’s. Time will tell on those I suppose  but saints aren’t as good as us and they were willing to pay part of his wages to get him out the door. 
    Improved pick 14 to pick 11 and paid a hefty price to do so but given JT sees merit in doing so you’d have to back him. 
    Put it another way- do you think our list is better or worse than this time last year?

    Lycett and other delisted rucks and State league rucks, will be around if we want to Rookie one, as further backup for a year or so for Max.

    I suppose it depends on where Verall is at and if he, Fullarton and Schache are sufficient, if Max is injured.

    Appreciate the response but wasn't ment to be a serious question. We've done ok but who knows how the future will pan out.

     

    We're definitely going to win the draft though :cool:

    Yeah think we need to snag a lycett or hayes as a delisted free agent. Surely ine of them is about to be cut with port picki g up 2 rucks in the trade period

    First time I've really listened to trade talk, and yes I think Lamb did a very good job this year improving our position. Maybe we could of done better, maybe not.  Hopefully there is still more talk to be had before we go to the draft, but if things stay as is I'm pretty happy with #6, and #11.

    Lamb stoked with the addition of Billings. McAdam and Fullarton, all in all a real focus on addressing needs forward of centre. Now the draft.

    Sounds to me like Petty and his manager got thrown an opportunity and took it as a chance to bring stuff to the table with Melbourne. 

    We might need to pander to him a little to try and convince him to stay longer term.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
