Haha.. definitely what I meant.

Billings is far better then Harmes. You then say Lamb's last day haven't been successful? Short memory.. he recruited both Schache and Hunter on the last day of trade period last year.

Essendon

Nope, I'm with you on this mate. At his absolute best and when fit he could become one of the steals of this trade period. I've always rated him and feel like his stalled development comes down to St Kilda's lack of ability to develope players over time. Shrewed recruitment by the dees if we can get him across!

He's still our pro scout..

See video.

Ok.. so now channel 7 is completely the opposite...

Prepared to be annoyed. He's already met with Brisbane and reports are he's liking the security of having a 3 year deal on offer. Don't blame him.

Adelaide aren't going to be in a better position draft wise this time next year. They will most likely play finals which means their first round pick drops down to the mid teens and may be used on their future father son in Welsh who looks like a bona fide early first round pick.

Certainly not out of the question by the looks of things.

Paging @goodwindees....

Yeah did not sound convincing one bit. Definitely wants to get back home by the sounds of it. Human side of me says we should just respect his wishes and just cash in now while we can.

Could it be us??

Cal Twomey just said that it's down to Melbourne and North vying for pick 1.

Don't mind the price we paid. He's someone that can come in straight away and have a significant impact. If I jury he's capable of kicking 30 plus goals.

The only one who thinks so is Kane Cornes. We all know it can work.

You've certainly missed my point which was purely around the current midfield depth we have on our list as we speak. The reason why Harmes, Jordon and Dunstan couldn't get in was because they were simply depth players who were able to step in and fill in for Oliver when he was out. We were just very lucky that Petracca, Viney and Brayshaw (bar the last two games) didn't miss games at all last year throughout the season. Jordon and Harmes were experienced players who did well at times to step in straight away and impact at senior level. It's all good and well to stay Bowey Rivers and McVee can step into midfield roles but then they're leaving holes down back due to their class and run that they provide which sets us up well. Again, my point with midfield depth is that I'll once again say that Brayshaw is one big hit away from retirement and Oliver has deep personal battles that will need extensive time to heal and manage. As it stands Woewodin is the only pure midfield depth that we have that can step in when needed next year. Even dating back to 2021 we had solid soliders in Vandenberg, Jones and Jordon ready to step in when needed to provide cover. I've already explained the ruck depth issue as well. We had the luxury this year of having a quality depth in Grundy stepping in when Gawn was out. Right now its Varrell who is a rookie list player with 0 games behind him and Fullerton who like I said, is forward more then a genuine ruck.

Dylan Shiel anyone?

Just can't see North accepting that. I'd love to dream but with the way Reid is talked about as a generational talent you'd think they'd still ask for more. It's certainly the most intrigued watch on a number 1 draft pick in years.
