Disagree, only Ryder wouldn't be in our best 22.

Would be crazy to delist Spargo. He is only 19 and showed a bit in his first year.

I feel Hibbo might be cooked to be honest. I hope he can bounce back to his best but he has been poor since his AA year. Laird would be a good replacement for him. Cant see crows moving him on though, hes a gun!

Its astonishes me how many people still do not understand free agency.....

I think I speak for all D'landers when I say #$%* Eddie!

Care to explain why it wont happen?

It's not like it is one or the other. Tomlinson costs us nothing and adds run that we desperately need.

Well yeah, It might not be that straightforward. Just trying to explore the best way to maximise the impact that pick 2 can offer us. I don't think any of these hypotheticals are overly unrealistic though.

What are peoples thoughts on this? Not sure how doable this is but it was a fun exercise. Leaves us with a pretty good draft position and addresses a few of our major deficiencies (outside mids and small forwards) Pick 2, future second and 56 traded to GWS for 11, 13 and Hatley (or caldwell) 38 for Amon 20 for Langdon Pick 13 and ANB to Crows for 21 and 26 Pick 26 and 74 to Lions for Lewis Taylor and pick 35 Pick 35 To richmond for Butler Jamie Elliot - FA Adam Tomlinson - FA Rookie List: KK, O Baker, J Smith IN: Elliot, Tomlinson, Langdon, Amon, Hatley, Taylor, Butler, Picks 11 21 Out: Pick 2, 20, 38 and future 2nd JKH, Lewis, Garlett, Stretch, Wagner x 2 , ANB, Keilty, Maynard

The kid can play. Turns it over occasional but gets the ball a lot and gains meters. Matches up well with Sidebottom who is considered by many as an elite outside player.

Not a chance. Would need to win 9 of the remaining 10. Even then we would still probably miss out on %

They do post the raw stats, it is call the prospectus and it is released every year. Don't mistake the medias presentation of the stats as champion datas opinion. Of Course stats can be interpreted is many different ways which makes them somewhat debatable. However in this instance all the teams stats are counted and analysed in the exact same way, they then present there findings based on those stats.

Its purely on sats, they base everything on raw numbers. So are you saying the stats are wrong? or that you just don't like the organisation?

Trading for Gaff would be one of the all time trade blunders.

Madness.......

Not a very fair comparison IMO. When Kruezer is fit he is a gun. Been plagued by injury nearly his whole career.

He is the type of player we need however he is arguably the softest player in the league. Wouldn't want to go all out for him IMO.

Just gotta smash him as hard as possible every time. If he ducks into it you won't miss any weeks. He will learn not to do it eventually and if not at least we get to see him get thumped. AFL needs to do something about it. It's cheating IMO.
