  1. I rate him and would like to have seen him tried at wing or HB but there must be reasons why the FD believe he wouldn't make it there. in interviews he seems like a good guy, I hope he has a decent career at the Dogs, I think Beveridge is a very good mentor. We'll get a future 4th for him.
  2. So there's a dysfunctional relationship between NMFC and Ben Brown? Take a good look at NMFC right now and tell me which one is likely to be dysfunctional.

    Luke Jackson. How many Port or Brisbane forwards would displace current Richmond or Geelong forwards?
  4. Why not - we're the traditional home of the dud brother. Trade Angus to Freo and list Hamish DFA and we're back in form.
  5. Look I'm a big Weid fan but the facts are he's behind where Hawkins, Kennedy, Dixon and Lynch were at the same age. That's at least partly explainable because the KPF role is way harder now than it was 5 years ago for Lynch let alone 10 years ago for the other three. I think that it's unlikely that Weid takes the role by the scruff next year and where the club is at, that's what we need someone to do. The best 3 teams this year have that someone and Brisbane are chasing Daniher. I think we need to pull the trigger on Brown and sort out "too many options" as the season progresses. Someone may get injured - who knows? I'd prefer we have a choice.
  6. I understand your reservations with Brown, Weid, Jackson and Fritsch in the forward line. If Brown doesn’t come where do you see Petty playing next year? I like him back in place of Tomlinson and I know you're not Tomlinson fan. If Brown comes then Petty can definitely play back. I think Brown and Weid can work together, it's not really any different to the previously planned TMac and Weid. If Jackson and Fritsch are there too then we have to get crumbiing and pressure from the other forward - Pickett and ??? Of course I'd love that to be Viney but concede that's unlikely. I think we need to trade in a pressure forward if we get Brown.
  7. He's in WA and Josh Kennedy is 103yo - if he was a desirable target West Coast would be all over him.
  8. We've got a few fringe 24-26yo one club players who have been on our list for quite a while and just haven't been able to establish a role - Hannan, Hunt, ANB, OMac. I think they owe it to themselves to try to ply their trade elsewhere. Some make make a decent career elsewhere but I don't think we'll really miss any of them.
  9. Freo seem to be on the rise but the Hogan recruitment wasn't among Peter Bell's finest moments
  10. Yes and Collingwood have had their biggest finals wins when Cox has fired.

    I wonder if that puts them out of the Caldwell chase?
  12. I'm torn. Continued organic improvement from Weid, hopefully a full season from Jackson and Petty vs. the instant target hit of Brown but who may make us too tall overall. Which way are you coming down Spongy?
  13. The CEO is conducting a review of the FD. Probably holding off final list decisions until that's complete is a good idea?
  14. How many special people change? How many lives are living strange?
  15. Light on detail and information as expected. Previously you had him never maling it.
  16. Describe all their dimensions for me. And don't forget to tell me how they were going at 23yo.
  17. How many dimensions have Josh Kennedy and Charlie Dixon got?
  18. We've already got Harrison Petty and IMO Weid will develop into a #1 KPF. If we're bringing in a KPF he needs to ready to go as they #1 target in 2021, e.g. Brown - I'm torn on whether we should do this. But I'm not in favour of Esava.

    Look I'm fine with either or as @A F says, both.

    Here's the comparison at the same age. If you can't see that Smith is clearly superior you are not looking hard enough. https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=11&playerStatus2=A&tid2=5&type=A&pid1=3464&pid2=4214&fid1=O&fid2=O Last season Smith was better too: https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=11&playerStatus2=A&tid2=5&type=A&pid1=3464&pid2=4214&fid1=S&fid2=S
  21. Max Gawn? A million monkeys and a million draft picks ...

    There's "reasons", but I know "excuses".
  23. He's definitely got the game face on - unfinished business.

    Look I'm Pollyanna and there are a 1000 Henny Pennys. Because the next 2 years are part of those 5 years - we need to be playing finals next year. If we are and regularly contending then those FAs will re-sign and we'll be able to sign other teams FAs because we'll be an attractive destination e.g. go well next year and Zac Merrett may come across. I think we've got the oar in the water for Smith and Phillips - Smith is a better player and Phillips is younger.
