I do think we need either a outright new emblem or keep the current one and have a secondary one to pick and choose between depending on the context. Thinking back when I was a kid. The Demon on those first AFL one's certainly helped. I know I picked the Dees on my own and I'm sure that goes for most. There's only so much parents can influence a child to follow their team. I made a few quick ones last night with the help of AI. Nowhere near the finished product but I'll post them anyway

This departure hurts compared to other departures recently. If there was anyone you could visually tell was 100% giving his all as well as leading the backline purely from competitiveness it was Steven. Absolute pillar of our success. Fantastic reader of flight and mark of the ball. Well never forget you mate.

Our had midfield barely changed for 5 years or so. We were getting extremely predictable. On paper, yeah it doesn't look as good without Trac and Oliver, but I can be pretty confident we will get more effort, more x-factor and an unfamiliarity for the opposition to work us out.

Matthews looks great. Just gotta truss the process.

I'm 41 now and would of been about 7 when I wore the 45 for a few years.

The players we got will free up Kozzie, Lindsay, Windsor etc for mid time so not really missing mids. Just promoting a few to more mid time.

Latrell has the natural ability in front of goals that you rarely see in a player. Creates a goal from nothing. He is the perfect small forward and something we are desperate for. Allows Kozzie to play more midfield. Stoked with Taylor. Personally can see him as a midfielder. Allows the likes of Windsor, Rivers, Lindsay etc to play more mid.

Ess now Taylor and risk we don't trade our picks as we probably won't take Sharp.

Who do we pass on Nairn or the 2 fallers?..

Agree. Who knows where he'd rank now if played out the year. Looks like a steal.

More impressed with the Sam Allen videos than Nairn tbh.

Maybe planning on a worst case scenario for GC 1st next year isn't a bad thing. Pick 18, then add all the bids on that. Like with Lindsay we get a year head start on developing them too. Maybe strike while the iron is hot and grab someone we definitely really want. We still have 2 (or 3?)future 1sts to use next year if Humphrey was available.

Probably from this: Zero Hanger Final Mock

Zero Hanger Final Mock Pick 11 for GC future 1st... I'd take it

I don't see him as the best available at our pick no matter what they take before us. Yes I'm not a recruiter and yes I can only go off videos. Nairn benifited from good constant delivery from a good SA team and despite kicking straight the game he got 7, he's ball drop looks horrible. Basically the only good thing he does is he gets in the right positions. I think Sharp is miles ahead of him on that SA team.

Yes very true. Perhaps it can be strategically used though if Nairn or any one slips. We have tried to trade up just about every draft for a while now. Though this may be the one that ends that.

Clubs can say/nominate whoever they like. It doesn't make a difference whatsoever in who they take, it's not a commitment.

I think we are definitely into Nairn. But not at 7 or 8. I guess we are just covering all bases and may well split a pick or start offering GC future 1st after our first picks and take Nairn with one. With the picks coming in 37 will come up likely he's been told we will take him if still available.

Oh how did I miss WC!? Ok, WC, North and Tigers at MCG repeated until end of year.

North, Tigers, North, Tigers and so on every week of year as you said in any manner as I see fit. 😁

It does. Perhaps a good way of advertising the auction, though that has probably already been done in private between clubs.

For us to get one of those, what do we give up? Blues just after points for this year for Dean and better off trading them vs the penalty on them for selecting Dean? GC future 1st and a future 2nd. Or trade 7 or 8 to someone for 2 picks in the teens and on trade one and a future 2nd to Blues?
