Rowell and Anderson are 100% GC bound. Green will be snapped up by GWS as an academy selection. That's the likely top 3 IMO and we're no chance at getting any of them, so I don't mind the possibility of trading the pick. Wonder if we'd be looking at either North or Port's first two picks as a swap, meaning we can trade our second rounder for Langdon and still have first and second round picks?

Leads us this for both average goals and average tackles inside 50.

You'd think so. Gut feel is we'll get on with it quickly to try and move on from this season.

Garlett and Keilty officially gone.

Bloke gave us some exciting times as a Dee. Will miss him at his best. Best wishes to Dec as well, seemed like a hard worker. Garlett and Keilty depart

Great point! Hadn't even thought about that.

I would class him as a young, improving winger. Couple of injury bumps along the way so has been a 'late' bloomer IMO. Good athlete, sold kick. The key word in regards to us that you'll hear about him is 'competitor'.

Just 12 months after attempting to break his contract but failing to find a suitor, Amon will spend the next week mulling over interest from clubs including Melbourne and St Kilda. AFL.com.au understands the Power have tabled a three-year offer to Amon with the belief he could still remain at Alberton. It comes after a career-best season in which the 24-year-old played 17 matches and forged his place in the Power's best line-up. The Demons have spoken openly about chasing outside ball users in the mould of Amon, while the Saints have been active in approaching talent from elsewhere. Dees and Saints circling Power mid

Get the feeling they'll get more help than just a priority pick.

Don't see why people are so upset about it tbh. We can't say "don't give GC a priority pick, they're problems are cultural and bigger than just picks" with a straight face as MFC supporters can we?

Sorry, could be my bad, just figured they would announce it tomorrow seeing they're deciding tomorrow. (Rumours were it was already decided a week or two ago anyway).

Will be officially announced tomorrow apparently.

Reviews are the new boot camps apparently...

A culture killing, always injured, key defender... Just what we need... ?‍♂️

Choco is apparently fairly close with Goody, it's even come out recently he put forward Goody's name to Essendon who then employed him. It would be hard to see all of Goodwin, Richardson and Williams in the same group, but you never know. He does need more experience around him IMO, but I'm not sure how the dynamic would be between the three.

Yeah, he probably takes some of the pressure off TMac and Weid, replaces Bull's spot on the list (heard he was possibly retiring?), and then gives Fritsch the freedom to jump on all of their backs.

Can't really decide if I'm keen or not, I guess for the right price he gives us some mature KPF depth, but will be 31 when next season starts. There's a fair bit of talk coming out of Adelaide football circles that we have now expressed an interest. It's the old mate of a mate, but the connection seems legit, so seems a fair chance to be true IMO. Doesn't guarantee we get him of course.

Yep, and as pointed out already, our inside 50 efficiency improved dramatically after Rawlings took over. Losing games doesn't mean every single thing is going wrong.

Given we improved at that end of the ground even with Weid, TMac and Bull mostly unavailable I reckon that shows why Rawlings is so highly rated as an assistant coach. I reckon it's unfair to just paint everyone with the same brush despite the facts.

Rawlings made a big difference to the forward efficiency. I don't remember the exact stat, but it was a huge difference in our scores per inside 50 after he took over. Yes we still lost games, but that one particular area did improve significantly.

Oh yeah, not trying to say he's been sensational, more just trying to tell people to lighten up on the criticism as some seem to enjoy going way overboard with it when the reality is not as black and white.

Is meeting with Collingwood as well apparently. Not sure if it is him personally, or just his management. Not saying he's gone of course, but it seems like it's more than just the usual manager posturing. Rumour of course, so you're welcome to believe or not.

Haha fair call when I read back what I wrote. Difference is I don't come here later and say 'I knew that but couldn't tell you', after things happen.

Yeah, there's still the odd occasion a contracted player stays. The Kelly one didn't really feel like they held him against his well and it was ugly or anything though. Not like the McCarthy one. Just seems like players (and their agents) have all the power now.
