Harmes for Toby McLean? Very rare we see pure player swaps these days but id be happy with this.

Paddy Dow expected to go for a future 4th rounder. 23yo 3rd round selection. Bit of an insite into the value of McAdam, God I hope we don't give up a second rounder.

Very average list to choose from this year. I do like Toby McLean from the Dogs though, was sensational in their premiership year and has just had a tough time with Injuries since.

Top 20 are very good this year, I think we will aim to get as many picks as we can inside that. Apparently we are keen on pick 10

Yup agree, 23 is a very good outcome if we get it!

His contract is at least 1mil over the next 2 years. Matheson will be considerably less. This is for a depth player, not someone we are expecting to make our team. Billings is a better player agree though

Light for midfield depth too, and we are going to have at least 5-6 spots to fill, so outside the draft these type of players are important to get so we have some AFL standard in the reserves. Some people need to realise that clubs pick these guys up hoping they actually never play AFL. Like Dunstan.

Totally agree, but one will be pretty much free, the other won't

Fritsch is a med fwd is he not?

I don't want McAdam because I don't think he is any good. Mathison has shown at VFL level he is. And had some very good AFL games too. I like Matheson because it is now an area we are very thin in, and he is good coverage. Small to medium fwd like McAdam we have plenty off. Im not after him as the missing piece to our premiership glory, I much expect him to be like Dunstan and barely play a game, then young kids over take him.

Has dominated VFL for years, and is at the same level as a Dunstan. Good coverage. The good players will come from the draft but they need these types around them too

I hate beastmode but, he is the perfect player to fill the loss of Dunstan/JJ/Harmes

Be a great get, kid has plenty of growth pretty much had a year ruled out by injury. Take him over McAdam any day!

Overs

Adel is great. Her brother is in this year's draft so maybe we shoukd draft him

I think there is obviously some issues and the club wete trying to give Oliver a kick up the [censored] a bit. Then the media got wind of it and it got out of hand a bit. Very glad to here he is staying. 26yo midfielders like him don't come along often.

Haha im mates with her cousin. They have been together for a while, he comes to Whyalla for Christmas most years. But who knows with footballers, she may move to melb once she finishes uni too, who knows lol

GF is from Whyalla my home town, but lives in Adelaide now. He is from Pt Pirri 2 hrs from Adel

Petty is off limits. And unfortunately I don't think he is our fwd line saviour. As I think he needs to take May's position in the next couple of years. Petty might have to do it for 12 months and then we have a crack at the plethora of key forwards coming out of contract next yr. If only we had 2 fit Petty's

I agree with you, although I don't rate McAdam at all. But they have asked for Sparrow, so might a good starting point to see how much. Only issue is we look like losing a lot of midfield depth so adding Sparrow to that coukd leave us thin

Could we do: McAdam, Thilthorp For Sparrow, 2nd round?

Nor in our B22

It might be true that clubs are looking at it. But there is nothing saying Oliver or Melb are. Don't read into it too much.

Given Max has been injured the past 2 final series, that might have to change!

He has been injured the past 2 final series now. He might not have a choice
