jones is absolutely the way to go in the vest for the finals from a romaticism side of things he deserves it and we should try and get him there, but the best option imo to cover all bases is declase for sure, 194cm can play tall and a wingman so he can find the footy, run and kick but if we lost a genuine tall we wouldn't be completely hurt by it

losing harmes wouldnt be a bad thing at all for our guts, get gus on the inside and go for that lipinski type on the wing and get more games into jordon/sparrow who are just as capable. would be relatively surprised tho as he is a dees fan since childhood and he's got the big LT deal sorted and he'd definitely like the offfield shenanigans that we know go on also on barrass, wouldn't be such a loss for the eagles either Hedwards looks a real type at over 200cm and they've still got mcgovern, nelson etc in the short term obviously barrass is a serious star player but if any side has the defensive depth to not notice it'd be the weagles. not sure how the swans pay him tho given their public issues on the coin front especially given aliir just made way in that same role

bob and andy discussing sam reid (SS) on the radio after tom morris' article, i'd definitely take him at the dees assuming the swans paid a portion of his deal, he's a better reserve than mbrown & daw + bradtke doesnt seem to be coming on and gives us an option should we/weideman decide to part to ways. definitely worth considering as a salary dump by the swans for a late selection or to move points around

been a couple pages since anyone has said lipinskis name so ill throw it back into the mixer for the hf/w spot and narkle ✅

in terms of KPF he's not the type we need, BBB, Weid TMac and MBrown are all agile/high roaming tall types we ideally need a more stay at home pack marking monster who can hold off 3 blokes and still clunk it ie Hawkins/HMcKay

6. Oliver 5. Spargo 4. Petracca 3. Lever 2. Fritsch 1. Salem

OUT: vdb IN: Melksham those i50s were a disgrace today, and our goalkicking

how we see our small indigenous NGA/FS prospects go in the back half of this year leading into the draft will have a bit part to play in whether locky, chandler, bedford all remain on the list or how many do

what did rosman do?

nil, next

i honestly don't think Trac makes it this season, i think it is he OR oliver not both and i think oliver has had the superior year. with midfielders if you're the best in your side you attract so much of the footy and stand out more easily. i think its hard to go past Bont, Oliver, Lyons, Walsh (W), Wines, Touk, Macrae (W), Parish without throwing him to a cheeky flank, but imo probably hasn't starred as much as some people seem to think. he'd be more in the guthrie, mccluggage, steele, discussion which is more your 40 squad but miss the cut. Gawn, Lever, May, Oliver for mine

IN: Bowey, BBrown, Chandler OUT: Hunt, Pickett (Mng), Sparrow + give lockhart the vest

6. Petracca 5. Lever 4. Gawn 3. Fritsch 2. Salem 1. Neal-Bullen

watch hunts last quater and then tell me we dont need maynard, should be firmly on the trade table at years end, completely cost us in that last quarter 3 times

has been out with a fractured ankle for 10 weeks just came back on friday night and had 25 playing back in a more suited HB role

i also had a little crack before i read through yours Gawn Oliver May Lever Petracca Salem Langdon McDonald Fritsch Pickett Viney Brayshaw Jackson Rivers Tomlinson Harmes Spargo Petty Hibberd Jordon BBrown Neal-Bullen Sparrow Hunt Melksham Weideman Lockhart Bowey Chandler MBrown Jones Daw Jetta Hore Baker DSmith Bedford Declase JSmith Laurie Rosman vandenberg Bradtke Nietschke Turner

did half of us ever think tmac was going to have the revival he did no, ffs tmac wasn't even playing forward when he was the age weid is now. so u can dead set kid yaself elsewhereif you're writing him off as a footballer right now. theres plenty of season left and plenty of footy ahead of weid too

i think he'll stay, a 2yr deal on no where near the money we previously offered him or he wanted and if after next year he hasn't pushed tmac out of the side which could still happen given tmac wasnt much better today then he might leave. but he wont want to leave on a multi year deal coz his value is at its lowest he won't get paid much at all anywhere

6. oliver 5. lever 4. gawn 3. jackson 2. rivers 1. jordon

how does he go as a small forward type? given bedford and chandler are 50:50 for the list next year and melkys nearly at the end

No, no, no, absolutely not, ask the question retire, retire, yes, no, yes, no imo Jetta, Jones, vandenberg, Chandler, Bedford, Bradtke, JSmith, Baker can't believe we're replacing langdon already *facepalm* can't take this thread very seriously when the first message i opened to today said Tom Mitchell (outside) if you looked up inside mid in the dictionary his face would be smiling straight back at u

we're in a premiership window... if the price is right we should be loading up on anyone available who improves our side, definitely not looking forcheaper alternatives if he's available imo

Corey Wagner, Josh wagner? or my favourite the pencil Jakey spence in the 42

ill put it in here too from the draft centrals first power rankings of the season #21 Mac Andrew (MEL NGA) Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country | Ruck/Tall Utility 12/04/2003 | 200cm | 70kg Snapshot: A raw tall prospect who has proven his worth in each post, Andrew’s vertical leap and fast-developing craft really catch the eye. Another key position type who has rocketed up draft boards with a promising start to the year, Andrew will have Melbourne recruiters a little nervous with his performances to date. He sits just outside our current top 20 but has that kind of potential, with raw athleticism and bucketloads of upside given his ever-improving ability to be utilised at either end of the ground, or in the ruck. While he has proven his versatility, the Demons Next Generation Academy (NGA) talent looks most comfortable in the ruck, where his leap and clean follow-up work stands out. Season so far: Eyes quickly turned to Andrew after he collected 22 disposals, three marks and 11 hitouts on his NAB League debut, before going on to prove it was no fluke by impressing across another three outings. He found himself spending more time forward against the Sandringham Dragons in Round 4 and kicked a goal, but has some development left in his decision making and disposal by foot at times. He boasts clean hands and was better aerially than his averages of three marks and 14.5 hitouts suggest. The same could be said about his game for the AFL Academy, where Andrew was tried up either end before excelling in the ruck during term four, throwing his 200cm frame into each centre bounce with a phenomenal vertical leap
