THE 2018 AFL NATIONAL DRAFT
Another way of looking at things is we recruited a few very young guys also who look like they may turn out, Oliver, Weid and Spargo still all babies.

THE 2018 AFL NATIONAL DRAFT
Hunt must stay and the club needs to go over and beyond to develop him. Reason for this and will impact upcoming trade/draft is there are rule changes coming. Ones that they hope to open the game up more. I'm a bit concerned that we may take a step back with proposed rule changes, we have plenty of meat & potatoes, but not many run and carry speedsters. Salem & Petracca were recruited and noted as having speed but I'm yet to see it. On the other hand, we are in prime position with our key forwards, keeping Hogan is a must, there may be more one on ones and they hope forwards will start kicking 100 in a season again. Guys like Petracca, Harmes as one on one forwards may be benefited by playing forward, but not midfield. I would be surprised if we aren't looking at another KPD, which would free up Lever and Hibberd and co to flanks, Lever is a 3rd man up intercept player, not a KPD. Maybe Goody is ahead of his time with the bomb it in game plan.....?! What we do need is skilled players who can kick, it has been an issue for so long and we still only have 1-2 elite kicks in our team. Having 5-6 elite kicks in our side wins us more games and takes the hard bash and crash out of many contests. It would also have us beating Port by 30+ last week. Hawks were clever years ago, they recruited elite kicks and developed them, making execution of their game plan easier. Apparently the TAC cup is trialling similar rule changes where they have to have 3 in each 50 at every stoppage? I haven't seen it but just heard it talked about and apparently looks good. While I was annoyed Hawks got to trial the proposed rule changes it gives me comfort that they have been trialling similar at U18's so our recruiters would be all over it. Has anyone watched TAC and could speak of these rules and how they're going? I personally think give the draft a miss unless there's a too good to be true player, trade all of our NQRs or guys that haven't bought in for some ready made skilled speedsters, for eg Polec, Burgoyne, Saad, Impey types. Anyway, just my thoughts but I assume the new rule changes will see more power forwards recruited along with run and carry players, whereas in the past maybe more inside players. Always a fascinating time of the year.

Weโve had a lot of one paced players for many years now, hasnโt seemed to improved for about 10 years.- The No T$ No B$ Thread

Hard to know what Pies will do, I've heard for some time that they want both Weid and Lynch (GC), going to be an interesting trade period. Moore was linked to Swans so god knows what will happen.- Delisting, Trade and FA discussion 2018
Is Moore even that good? From what Iโve seen of him he hasnโt delivered yet either?- Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
Winning games, culture, stars, playing finals, snatching a flag will bring the punters. Thatโs the way to get members and followers, not a choice of training ground location. As PJ said in one of his first interviews, we need to get the footy right and the rest will follow, funny how thatโs eventuated, smart man, unlike the previous CEO/board. I think the proposed choice of location is clever, albeit ambitious, but weโll see. I just wonder if this is further down the track than we think, hence PJs resignation. For me personally Iโd go to more training sessions at the G. I think we also need to move our focus from an ageing/dying supporter base to whatโs best for our future. I donโt know what the Casey relationship is but I assumed it was a bandaid, a stand alone VFL team is also needed and one where we can train together. Build it and they will come.- Andrew Gaff
