    Really disappointing selections. Do we really need to hold over all of Laurie, Tomlinson, Hibberd, Grundy, Jordon, McDonald, Schache, Spargo and Woewodin when we'll likely make one change this week? That's eight players sitting around doing nothing when they could be getting a high level game in.

    Not only do we most likely end Casey's season as a result, we deprive our fringe players of the last chance they have of getting game time. Do we really want to be bringing players into a Preliminary or Grand Final side not having played for a month?

    You are joking aren’t you? The AFL side has to be the number 1 priority

    If a coach could get Chol to release some inner aggression and play more physically, he could be anything. His skills are really good and he can kick straight. But like Binman said above, Hardwick and Goodwin favour intense, contested ball players so I can't see us being interested in him. 

    The same was said about Weed.   Players can’t be taught to be aggressive, they either have it or don’t.   Chol definitely doesn’t.

    I agree he is super talented. He is a natural forward who as you suggest is a good second ruck option.  And that is exactly the sort of player we need.

    But i reckon his lack of intensity rules him out from any team goody coaches.

    No coincidence he's keen to leave the Suns.

    I suspect he left the Tigers because Hardwick is like Goody in that he values intensity and attack on the ball over all else. And who is coaching the Suns next year? Hardwick. 

     

    Don’t be fooled by his athleticism.  The bloke is C grader at best and terribly inconsistent.  I’d rather use a pick and develop them

    Even Sam Edmond is jumping on the Grundy bandwagon and suggesting he is as good as gone to Port or Swans.  Where do they get all these rumours or is it all click bait.

    Surely Grundy is a required player. Gawn could get injured in the QF especially if that yank slams his knee into him.

    Gold Coast will want to trade it for as many draft pick points as possible to cover for their academy kids.

    GC give Pick 4 (2034 points)

    Dees give Pick 15 (1112 points) + Pick 34 (542 points) + Future first (1112 points if we finish in same spot next year)

    I think we will get a 2023 or 2024 second round pick from Port for Brodie Grundy anyway, so 34 won't be needed.

    Will leave us with Pick 4, Pick 5 and Pick 24 

    🤞

    They say Karl Langdon is as reliable as Sam Edmund so read into it what you will:

    WC would be leaking that story.  I reckon WC take Curtin at 1

    If North get Pick 3 for McKay, I expect they'll trade Pick 2 & 3 to West Coast for Pick 1 and steak knives (maybe Gaff after all).

    This gives North access to Reid, West Coast will take Curtain at 2 and use 3 on another mid. Will leave us in the cold, but I'd be happy if we got Watson.

    There is no way they giving pick 2 and 3 for pick 1.

    Grundy kicked 3 goals last game where his AFL best has been 2 goals. Maybe has learned some forward craft?

    They won by 100pts, let’s over blow the performance against the Nth Melb 2’s team

    I think this all changed today with the season and maybe career ending g injuries to Melksham & Dunstan. Spots open up

    In fairness Dunstan wasn’t getting a contract for next yearÂ
