gawn petracca oliver may lever brown fritsch salem jackson viney

doubt it pf, we woulda just recontracted him and upgraded him if the case

hopefully being only 21yo he's still young enough to forge a career back in the nbl where he was a massive prodigy before chasing a career with the sherrin. i always thought we'd give him another 2 years to develop his size properly but the writing was on the wall when he was being thrown all around the park at vfl level except in the ruck almost like the coaches were trying to hide him, still worth the punt and as i said hopefully if he's still keen he can slide back into the basketball setup

it helps that they've just found another 700k a year to spend over the next 5 years

my favourite player as a boy and the reason i myself wear 12 whenever i can, never too far from my thoughts, RIP col <3

i believe there's another list deadline which is for rookie only nominations? what the crows did last year with luke edwards before the eagles stepped in

don't think he's really changed at all, north just find him irrelevent due to drafting and list strategy and are stuck with his 5yr deal

and could he take a few mates with him please

its two way nominations have to be mutual

assume its players he likes for our selections around those marks

freeman is a good footballer showed so at the pies, and when given a second chance by the saints and then at vfl level this year, what was SONS supposed to predict his hammies wouldn't hold? expect you wanted him also to get on the blower to freo and remind them morabito at pick 4 was a no go coz he would do 4 acl's in the next 5 years too? why are we all sh1tt1ng on each other for having opinions? not like a top 10 draft has ever, literally ever still been the top 10 after 3 years let alone by the end of their careers

tbf got the lachie mcneil call bang on so credit there

honestly if i was to pick two clubs it'd be the tiges and dockers, the giants have 3 rucks in flynn, preuss and briggs they have hogan, himmelberg and riccardi + lobb is every chance to request a trade back next year too, doesn't really do much in the needs category for them LT or ST, the tigers on the other hand have a 33yo JR8 and Lynch and then a massive gap before Samson and Colina with only soldo backing up nank

https://afl.draftcentral.com.au/player/andy-moniz-wakefield/ a bit more information on the kid, if we can get him as a cat B i think it'd be a good get given chandler/bedford are yet to really stamp themselves as afl grade small forwards and laurie more of an up the ground type AMW i think would be more of a deeper player hopefully loves the tackle once he bulks up

clubs i'd have in the "in need of a developing ruck" conversation would be Adelaide, Carlton, Gold Coast, Melbourne, StKilda, WB

you've also got OUT -senior twice and no OUT -rookie

i understand it for the time being with covid budget cuts and players being owed money and clubs having to juggle it around but i completely agree that from 2023 onwards it should be set to either remotely for u21s OR only for first time afl players ie no age limit but they have to be recruited form outside the afl and after three years maximum as it is its up or out

woulda kept them both if up to me, Joel smith has had more chances impressed less and been more injury prone than hore, he would've been out the door for mine

if Andy Moniz-Wakefield gets through the national draft we can add him immediately as a cat b rookie assuming we nominated him which would be handy

yeh wasn't that the whole point of the thread that he was training with us because he was eligable

theres absolutely no way blayne o'laughlin gets all the way to 62 he's looked really composed in the last two months for SA out of the back half and when he starts getting the wheels going he'll be a weapon, also if he gets that deep, this guy has gone sentimental and given him to the swans but he's a crows NGA prospect and if he's on the board at 63 there's no way they won't take him

how did deakin qualify as an NGA was he indigenous or does he have roots elsewhere?

i can see, and for some reason this thought didn't come to me until yesterday when i sort port and the tiges do it, we might delist hore and declase and then re-rookie hore, committing to him immediately he's had a rough two years but played consistent afl football in his first season so they must like what he can do, granted that was three years ago and we've definitely improved since then but there's worse depth going around than marty

can't kick or run, essentially not useless but a liability once the ball exits the stoppage, would only really be able to play like a traditional doesn't-leave-the-centre-square centreman roll where he dishes off to running HBs and transitioning players by hand
