DistrACTION Jackson

Agree with this. I think in an ideal world we bring in 4-5 draft picks and 2-3 players in the 24-28 age bracket.

The way the rules and tribunal are run it's either he gets off or it's 3 weeks, there is no middle ground. You have to argue that is wasn't careless, as he was attempting to get the ball and braced for contact right at the time Moore slid in. This is a very strong argument and if the tribunal find he wasn't careless then he will get off.

I'm not sure where you got the ages from? But if we look at the start of next season they are: Over 28 Year Olds Melksham 34 - 32 Gawn 34 - 33 May 33 McDonald 33 - 32 Viney 31 Salem 30 - 29 Petracca 29 Langdon 29 Lever 29 Fritsch 29 - 28 24-28 Year Olds Oliver 28 - 27 Petty 26 - 25 Chandler 25 Sparrow 25 - 24 (turns 25 in May) Pickett 24 - 23 (turns 24 in June) Rivers 24 - 23 (turns 24 in July) Under 24 Year Olds Turner 23 Bowey 23 - 22 Howes 22 Van Rooyen 22 McVee 22 - 21 (turns 22 in August) Windsor 20 - 19 (turns 20 in June) Tholstrup 20 - 19 (turns 20 in June)

If we don't challenge it I will be bitterly disappointed with the club and it will just add to my frustrations with the people running it. We seem to have absolutely no back bone and seem incompetent of late.

I think the Roos would be crazy to take another midfielder in this draft, given they already have LDU, Sheezel, Wardlaw, Simpkin, McKercher and Powell. I'm guessing they may be looking at Luke Trainor, as a gun key position player is an absolute must for them. With that in mind the draft could look like (note I've left out Ashcroft because we all know where he is going: 1. Jagga Smith (Tigers) 2. Luke Trainor (North) 3. Finn O'Sullivan (Eagles) 4. Sid Draper (Crows) 5. Harvey Langford / Josh Smilie / Sam Lalor / Murphy Reid I also wouldn't be surprised to see North try trade back to take two picks inside 12-15 as well.

I think he’s referring to our best side not necessarily the whole list. Plus with Schache, Brown, Hunter, Brayshaw, ANB and potentially Tomlinson leaving our list will get a lot younger. I think he’s right in saying you don’t want to go too young, because that is what causes teams to drop to the bottom and only win 2-3 games for a season. I believe we will look to trade into the top 20 for a 2nd pick, as it seems to be how we operate. We will probably take 3-4 main draft picks and 1-2 rookies. So we will still have a lot of youth of the list.

I’m hoping all the stadiums doors get stuck and no one is able to open them, resulting in the cancellation of the season

He has incredible poise and an ability to weave through traffic. I feel like teams who pass on him may be overthinking about his height or speed not being enough. But if he’s just a natural footballer this won’t be an issue.

The funny thing is I’m sure JT is involved in analysing talent from other sides as well. It’s not like Tim Lamb is just going out there on his own

Pendlebury doesn’t have much leg speed but is incredible in traffic. I guess it depends if we think he could be a similar player or not

TDK is a more a ruck/forward which is what we need

If Saints win we will be 1 spot behind the crows so absolutely no point

We currently have pick 5 🥳

I think it’s all Houston’s fault

If we go with Adrian Anderson we will probably lose and then the tribunal will give him a life ban

57

You just shouldn’t be able to be suspended when another play does an illegal act. That is sliding in and is actually outlawed, but the umpire didn’t pay it. Moore could have broken Kozzy’s leg or something like that.

Imagine finishing 5th last with 11 wins. Would have to be one of the highest number of wins for a team finishing 14th

I’m not sure tbh

I think a lot of it is probably due to their projections on where Kalani White and Ah-Mu will be bid on

Oh right. I’m all for that

I wouldn’t be giving up pick 5/6 for peatling

I would.

I think I’m done with the AFL… I love the MFC but I hate a lot about the competition

I don’t know how anyone can compare Houston’s bump to Kozzy’s contact last night. They are very very different.
