Turner

i would've loved zurhaar for that marking ability but also the pressure and presence at ground level that he has

taking the spot of some more youth atm

having one injury interrupted year particularly the type of injuries he has had, doesnt scream injury prone

just because he plays as the deepest forward/starts in the goalsquare doesn't mean hes a KPF it just means hes dangerous in that area and/or is good 1on1 thats two very different things. he isnt about to floor a whole pack of players on centre wing but he might fly above them, but he wont skittle them yeh my point being TDK is playing at his boyhood club already same as harmesy, a completely different scenario to players who were drafted to other clubs

agree with everything youve said o55

keeler is a crows NGA player but unlikely to get to the necessary 40 pick cutoff, i wonder if they go early on him given the rumours on frampton to pies, tex's age and mcaseys slow development. iirc he was top 10 if not top 5 in ed pascoes EARLY rankings as in end of season 21 rankings

whilst i agree losing both is bad. i think whoever stays -seemingly chandler will fall behind laurie as well next year. and AMW is definitely showing improvement in that small forward role too

they grew up as blues fans iirc

would also be in the market for 2-3 2022 membership scarves seemed to have missed the collection somehow this season

26yo was a mature age pickup from the vfl as part of the suns assistance package 4 years ago. 190cm but solidly built at 90kgs good third tall who flies for the footy i would say gunston model but he's probably more of a mcstay build/pressence in terms that i'm not sure how quick he is but in a 1v1 wrestle or standing under a pack he probably goes better. has 29 goals from 33 games at afl level and kicked 25.15 from 10 vfl games before the weekends haul. doesn't appear to be much of a tackler though yeh he's always good for 3-4 scoring shots a game, but low possesion player atm but can see him getting up the ground in future, he's elite overhead and strong on the lead. he's gonna be a star. has genuine x-factor will be a top top player don't think you could play all three of them without a second genuine tall/resting ruck set up. whilst henry and fritta are good overhead if you put bodywork into them they lose their explosiveness and the reason they are so dangerous as forwards is because they get matchups that favour them in terms of size/height

josh corbett who took 17 marks and kicked 4.4 in the suns elim final win over BH is on the radar of the lions to replace mcstay and the dockers to replace lobb, wonder if we'd ask the question as a depth option as well given our talls situation

all the initial reports are saying geelong which makes sense given touhy and o'connor are so settled and ingrained there as well as his apparent connection with pops kelly from their time at the dons but i hope we're in play here. ticks a lot of boxes. excellent balance between elite kicking and blistering pace, would arrive as a DFA so no cost included in picking him up and would be an ideal replacement for hibbo long term and by joining us he'd get a proper chance at a flag. we also have the irish heritage and connection ingrained inour clubs history which could be appealing to mckenna, every irishman looks up to jim and the chance to play for the same team is surely a lure. sidenote, how on earth are teh cats fitting in Hopper, McKenna, Grundy, Bruhn and Bailey Scott? asking for a mate

i think Declase, Hore and Dunstan make the final side

rkn he'll wrap up now, he was super smart, think like a 99 ATAR and his back has held him back since he signed with carlton, probably time for the next stage

we're already losing Majak and assumably MBrown as talls off the list (given his 3yr rookie time is up) with serious Q's over Weids ability/want to stay and just make up the numbers and TMac's lisfranc, we need the balance of an extra tall on the list. Baker -agree Rosman -agree Hunt -agree Hibbo/Melky - i think get 1yrs regardless Jackson -agree Bedford -stays i rkn but yes is OOC

im expecting him to be a second cat b rookie tbh

little spiel from the HS

who would u replace them with?

had a crack at putting a side together on zerohanger from the 44. rkn this is pretty fair. maybe sicily to CHB and a different BP in but couldn't really press a case for any too hard. and tossed up the macrae spot possibly for trac but i think he hasn't been as good as last year or it could be a witts/CCameron/stengle in that order

close this thread @admins

OOC in 2023 but i can't see him leaving even after his recent spell in the 2s, he'll be top 2-3 ruckman in the comp in the next 5 years he's only 23yo. think how much english has exploded this year thatll be TDK next

bit stiff on a second year player who has had glandular all year. he'll come good, just been really stiff, think it's hilarious when posters write off a pick 2 who debuted for 10 or so games in year one but are super optimistic about a 2nd year rookie at our club like a deak smith type making the grade whose showed far less. i was super into him when he left gold coast, saw more long term upside than BBB but we went that way for whatever reasons. i think most DL's are in agreement that a Ratugolea, McLean, Riccardi type should be top of our shopping list. surprised by the pies interest in Frampton, has shown close to stuff all in 6 years and at 2 clubs but i guess those 10 year 30 game ruckmen are important to have as insurance and he has shown a bit as a key back at times as well i think avg 7 intercepts in the SANFL this year

i mean can you blame him, we were a basketcase... there wasn't a soul in footballer who wanted to be associated with us

i like it!

completely agree, compared to max grundy's never had an injury in his life. gawn at same age tore his hammy from the bone, hasnt seemed to hold him back too much since has it. all he has to do is win us one flag or get us to one grand final and its a success. how the narative and greed shifts after last year. When BBB walked through the door it was we'll take one flag. why should grundy be any different
