Good Lord. Most of the best goal-kickers in history float between 65-70%. I could have named another 12 quality key forwards that fell within that range. Then you would have (needlessly) scrambled away dissecting another player's accuracy. The point was that Curnow's goal-kicking accuracy at 63% is a non-issue and that it wouldn't deter any club in the competition for craving a player of his quality.

You've completely missed the point. It wasn't a Lockett/Curnow comparison. Go and tune up your cognitive gears.

Lockett is the best kick for goal I've seen. Lockett converted at 69.7% and Curnow converts at 63.4%. There's not one club in the league that thinks "I really like Curnow, but I'm worried about his goal-kicking accuracy". Not a single one. Note: Peter McKenna, who many say was the best kick for goal they've seen, converted at 65%.

In your mind.

The ladder will tell you that.

Right now everyone would have Curnow ahead of Weideman. But they are quite different players and it's too early to call. We might not know for a decade.

A non-issue for me. Most clubs would be over the moon to have a key forward capable of kicking 60 goals like McDonald, or a 21 year old key forward who's shown the ability to be best on ground in his club's first final in over a decade. You've got Gawn, who has the luxury of having stints forward now the backline is sorted. May and Petty can play forward, plus we've got numerous goal-kicking midsized players. We were the only team to have 15 players kick 10 goals, or more, in 2018. The next best was 13 while plenty had under ten. Bradke played junior footy with the Kings, so just pretend we drafted him on Friday if you want to. How many key forwards do you think Collingwood have ? How many do you think West Coast have after Darling and Kennedy ? Or Richmond after Riewoldt and Lynch ? We've balanced out our midfield depth, added to defence, brought in small forwards, and added pace. Happy days.

Kolodjashnij isn't competing with Frost. Having him in or out of the side makes no difference to Frost's selection, or otherwise.

He's a quality mark and very good VFL defender. My query is whether he's athletic enough for AFL footy. Oscar, Lever, May, and Frost are clearly ahead in the key defender stakes and I'd say Petty is too. That puts him a long way back. I'm not seeing an AFL career. But I've been wrong plenty of times and will be again.

Can't help mate. Other than when Casey is on TV, I haven't watched VFL footy for a while. Looks good from the footage though. They wouldn't bring him in if they didn't think his upside was regular AFL footy.

Well, we've turned Hogan into May, Kolodjashnij, and Sparrow. Time will tell.

Just waiting for @rjay to tell me "no, it's there".

Pick 27 has vanished.

Is that Phil Scully in the Giants bunker ?

Sparrow and Nietschke appear below.

Jack Watts is disappointed he's left the club.

You're stating the obvious.

As for "not being a great night" ? No-one will know for a number of years how good it was or wasn't.

If one revisits Knightmare's Power Rankings from April this year there are still three left from his top 20. In fact, three were in his top 14. 7.

I hope Lukosius isn't as soft as Watts. Just a feeling.

Worst coverage ever. Just get on with it.

I no longer have a mob, George. They equally sicken me.

Negative

Labor is hopeless, the Greens are insane, and the Liberals are pathetic. Great choices.

It's "you're". And I don't respond to whiny snowflakes.
