Dee Boys

His decision making under pressure is poor/panicked and he had the worst missed tackle percentage this season of any footballer in the competition to have played a senior game. He’ll do a job in the midfield but he’s nowhere near the level of those aforementioned.

I think he’s much better at half back.

Look at other mids his age - Rowell, Anderson, Young, Serong, Green, Day etc. There's no way Rivers is anywhere near their tier. He's got too many deficiencies but will be a nice B grader.

Lindsay sounds like a clone of his namesake?

Heart says no, head says no.

True, but the supporters didn't. The patience and love he received from us went above and beyond and should be acknowledged, but I won't hold my breath.

He's a twig mate. We've also got a huge amount of tall depth now. No chance we see him in his first two years.

Have heard a couple of people saying this about Salem and I wonder whether they're watching different games to me. Had a really solid season and deservedly finished 5th in the BnF.

It was pretty perfunctory but at least he did one. Wouldn't surprise me if Clarry didn't. Which would be a huge slap in the face after all the love and support he received over the years from the club and supporters.

Agree. We've got huge KPD depth now. If our first choice lineup is Petty/Turner/Lever then we've got May/TMac/Adams in the 2's. Reckon he'll start as a forward with pinch its in the ruck seeing as Heath/Campbell will take the majority of the ruck minutes. He's a long term project and I'd be amazed if we saw him in the seniors before 2029.

You get the sense we'd only be interested in taking two guys in this draft plus White and Sinnema. So maybe we'd be getting their future 1st back (which wouldnt be too different to those mid 20's picks this year that they need for the academy picks)?

Just goes to show that the Oliver trade is entirely linked to off field stuff. Because on-field, he's a much, much, much better option than Jack Steele.

They finish top 4 next year, as they should with their list, and it's a pick in the 20's. Even in a shallow draft you're taking 11 or 12 over one in the 20's every day of the week.

Because Gold Coast's first rounder next year will be around pick 15-20.

Damian Barrett’s said he expects the Petracca trade to go through today, for picks 7&8 with a pick in the 20’s going back.
