He's a role player that would add value to our team similar to Melksham, Hibberd and Langdon who went for mid to late 2nd rounders. Our early 2nd round pick (23) is fair and if Saints get pissy I'm sure a swap of later picks will sort it out.

Are you suggesting he's worth a first round pick?

Don't be fooled by his past tagging roles. He was put into the midfield in the last 4-5 games as just a pure mid. And he excelled, he is a very good footballer.

    i like the comparison with harmes

    i dunno

    windhager seems like the sort of bog standard defensively-minded inside mid who is a good, ordinary soldier and not a 'difference maker' to our side

    I always thought Harmes did make a difference... for the middle part of his time at Melbourne, anyway. He complemented Petracca, Viney and Oliver really well while also being capable outside centre bounces.

    He wasn't a turn-the-game player, but he made it easier for stars to do their thing.

    THAT interception from Smith in the 3rd quarter in 2021 GF. Absolute game turner.

    I agree, he certainly has a lot of potential but still don't think he justifies a first round pick. Particularly when he's out of contract and St Kilda allegedly low balled him with a 2 year contract at average pay and prioritised bringing in the likes of Silvagni and Ryan.

    Their loss.

    he's about to explode as a player, has good power and is as hard as they come.

    I think people forget he’s only 22. He’s already a good player but he’s got a lot of improvement left.

    Maybe its better not to all worry what he will cost at this stage, but rather get over the first hurdle of him actually wanting to play for us.

    Again, agree he's a good player. But he's not a proven game changer (yet) and St Kilda haven't prioritised his re-signing. We only a future first at this stage which is likely a top 10 pick, possibly top 5. If it's up to me, I'm not trading that and rewarding St Kilda for their dumb list management decisions.

    He's allegedly a loyal person and one of Nas's best friends. Saints wanted to keep him they could have easily.

    Pick 23 for Windshagger is the most straight forward trade of all time

    Throw in a future 4th to make SOS feel like a winner

    Fair point, hasn't officially nominated us yet so could all be a moo point at this stage.

    For reference he was taken at Pick 47 in the draft. I think he is a better player than pick 47, but id want some change from Pick 23 - that is over.

    Pick 23 will be 30+ by the time it is used, it's unders. But I hope we don't offer any more if we can get Windhager to nominate us.

    Was an academy pic (which it seems some clubs don’t waste time bidding on as it looks to devalue the guy they actually get somehow).

    But also, once the draft is done they’re rated va the pick on the table. Our second rounder seems reasonable, just hope we’ve done our kalani/sinnema homework.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
