Turner

hopefully its petty returns down back, meaning jeffo might get a look in or we go with just jvr and turner and then fritsch melky mcadam combo for the third tall, like the hawks this year, more dynamic less predictable going inside, of course this is reliant on being able to hit players on leads and we know how we go at that...

if we're going for a delisted tall, u want reliability. so membrey is front of the queue. down back id look at ethan phillips or harry arnold but probably unnecessary as im expecting petty goes back next year

20 would fit nicely on my back, pretty happy in the 42 tho, havent moved in the last 3 years so not particularly excited to move now. List is locked in 36 snr players 32 plus mcvee and amw picks 5&9 and 6 rookies (1 to fill) and 0 catb's (2 to fill)

this is the current lay of the list (u can see where i adjsuted from numerical order to adding players as they get added. believe mcvee and AMW* need to be upgraded at the 3yr mark *AMW can be delisted? or moved to the A list as he's under the 10 game threshold. so two of the grey tiles would be filled therefore blocking out a 6th and 7th 'A' rookie# #jsmith off the list would also make way for mcvee, tomlinson for amw and then we'd be in the position of having the two ND picks and 2 'A' spots which could be filled during the draft, or by yzes boy (unlikely) or by SSP or left for MSD

10 -pick 5 12 - pick 9 19 - sharp 30 -campbell i think only koltyn would move up, so maybe kolt into 10

where did u hear this?

consider cal twomey and the tradies podcast dms flooded until i hear a good explanation, i also cannot find any reason why he would be ineligible

dont think rosas is either

Add Ollie Lord to the list as a Key Fwd and Erasmus and Sheldrick would be ahead of Davies and Hobbs for me. Ginbey has looked good as a backman, Hewitts body is struggling. Hence why graham and robertson r of interest to them

they have Kako coming in plus the davey boys r still both around the mark wouldn't have them in this market.

1st point yes agreed 2nd nah i think theres better options he only played well in really wet ocnditions which is his bread and butter, he has no outside or kicking game hes just a bull

Verrall has shown signs stepping straight into the vfl no1 role as a teenager, trust the process with him. Kentfield i agree has been really uninspiring but given age, he gets another year Woey has shown signs, i liked him (and KBrown) in the half forward nibbler role more than i like him at half back, i dont think he kicks it overly well Adams i agree havent really heard or seen much to suggest he's making strides at casey and could be a bust

Disagree Hore 27 and only got a spot coz seemingly we didn't have a clue what else to do with it AMW and Howes do nice things at VFL level but have yet to prove to me they are consistent afl players. Howes is a nice kick but defensive 1on1 ability, intercept marking, toughness, and burst/drive are all huge queries for mine AMW is tough and can tackle but again i havent seen any linebreaking and has been fumbly in the 1s too, also doesnt get enough of it or in the right spots to use it like he does at Casey Salo cant trust his body long term, Rivers is a mid which leaves Bowey (can't kick beyond 30m) and McVee (no notes) Feel like we're actually really thin here, not as thin as the guts but not flush with options

I'm assuming its BBrown, Schache, Hore, KFW, Smith, Brayshaw OUT AMW to A rookie Sestan, Kentfield, Melksham, Verrall, KBrown re-sign as A rookies Tomlinson, McDonald, Hunter re-sign can see a world where Tommo looks to get out: Blues, Eagles, Roos, Crows, Lions, Pies could all be in the market and offer him a different look and a longer deal. 25 we send Petty back down back and McDonald plays the 24 Tommo role as next in

I'm a fan of the Ned Long shout but would rather see us target Jack Macrae/Finn Macrae (both?) or Dev Robertson at the end of the season for a midfielder. I'd go tall for 6 months and have a look at options in our VFL program, either Scaife or Remy Maclean for mine or Pike if he gets to us but i doubt he will

also all these fellas for being delisted and re-signed as lifetime FA's too or just genuinely FA's that got missed Adelaide James Borlase Mitchell Hinge William Hamill Brisbane Dayne Zorko Jarryd Lyons Carlton David Cuningham* Jack Martin* Orazio Fantasia Sam Durdin Fremantle Jeremy Sharp Oscar McDonald Geelong Emerson Jeka Patrick Dangerfield* Tyson Stengle Gold Coast Jack Mahony Sam Day GWS Lachlan Keeffe Hawthorn Chad Wingard Cooper Stephens Jack Gunston Melbourne Joel Smith Marty Hore North Melbourne Hugh Greenwood Port Adelaide Francis Evans Trent McKenzie St Kilda Mason Wood Riley Bonner Sydney Samuel Reid West Coast Josh Rotham Zane Trew Western Bulldogs Lachie Bramble Lachie McNeil Taylor Duryea

i've known jesse since he was about 12 years old, he's a weapon, seriously profesisonal and will get absolutely everything out of himself, as good as a trainer as there is out there and excellent on both sides of his body

bowey 2026

sort of, if he gets bid on in ND we lose him but if he gets through unbidded he automatically becomes a rookie without any consequence

i've been the biggest lobb hater since his giants days, he was always a better ruckman than forward but ego/sooking from his part made him a forward. if he came on the remaining 2yr deal he has but WBD subsidised i'd do it. you're offering something like pick 40, hear me out, hes the ruck/forward behind gawn who can play a role but isnt a total liability forward, he leaps and marks in packs (sometimes) but also at EOS 24, mcdonald brown schache all ooc all leave, so then lobb is extra important for the next 12-24 months after that as that squad depth reserve player assuming we either see jeffo come on and play or sign a big dog FF from elsewhere to take over the mantle (or a KPD to allow petty to stay fwd)

has us putting the bid on ruckman read which is interesting

supposedly to play key back with doedee leaving and murray off a knee, plus dragon himmelberg out the door, no idea how burgess goes as a back but fogarty walker and thilthorpe would still be ahead of him

we couldnt actually do it could we also hearing since then its doggies interested, for macrae, lobb and picks.

how do his numbers stack up ahainst say WHE accross career i wonder

tay adams being injured was one of the great blessing in disguise outcomes for the pies. he and mitchell didn't both fit in as they play the same role with the same strengths weaknesses and lack of leg speed
