FD rate Adams. And I have an inkling King has designs for Petty back…

Mihocek makes that a real possibility now.

Adams is a WIP RP. He looks good at VFL level but no g'tee he'll be anything other than serviceable at AFL level so far. Of course that could change as he progresses and he may end up better than serviceable but who knows.

It's really just Turner at this stage in terms of 'talent bank' that is likely to come on and hold a D spot down on a regular basis at AFL level.

Petty is a known quantity down back and was always considered the 3rd stringer tall behind May & Lever, but only when match ups called for the 3rd tall.

We still have Lever and May might play on for one more year but i doubt either will ever be back to the levels we once saw in their hay day.

May has dropped away from his best levels but until now his average levels of output are still (probably) ahead of Aleer's imv.

Unless Aleer improves substantially over the pre-season or May falls away badly again in 2026 (if he's on board) i would see that as probably a losing trade for us.

Not a bad idea. There could be a win win where we offload May's salary from our books (while GWS can offset it against Aleers) and leaves us in a better position to pay a greater portion of Olivers salary.

What's the word on Oscar Berry?

I’m not really across much about him, just what I’ve seen on here and an old article on https://www.afl.com.au/news/1355179/melbourne-demons-boost-defensive-stocks-by-signing-college-basketballer-oscar-berry/amp

I must say I haven’t watched Leek a lot - he is 194 cm

Does he play as a KPD, does he have pace, marking and spoiling ability?

Plays like …….. ?

My favourite real marketplace fail is:

Buyer: hello is this still available?

Seller: Yes it is

Buyer: Who are you?

Seller: huh?

Buyer: please stop messaging.

Seller: you messaged me???

Buyer: STOP MESSAGING ME I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE

People are wild.

I love him at the giants, I'd be rapt if we got him.

As I said, I don’t believe Saints are telling the truth.

Giants are making it clear they were happy to negotiate, even with a 2027 pick, which after Tassie raids all the good players, will be pretty useless.

They have run out of cap room and absolutely made a mess of this and treated Leek disgustingly as all of the AFL are saying.

NAS, Windhager and Wilkie all with big contract bumps, which would likely be the entire Aleer allocation.

They have paid enormous money to make sideways moves, I’m sure are going to crash spectacularly
