I don’t buy the narrative that we traded up specifically for Kolt. I think we just tried to get as high up the board as possible and see what happens, we do it every year, the problem is there was no talent there, why couldn’t we identify that? Such a waste of picks by doing so. We did the same in 2020 as well, offloaded a future first in a terrible draft for another first round pick in Bailey Laurie. Strange tactic, get better at seeing if it’s worth it or not.

Windsor looks pretty poor ‘inside’ at Casey

Kentfield for Jefferson

He’s amusing because he’s always wrong

You really think Tim Lamb just trades away our second and third rounders to move up the board without asking? It’s probably Jason Taylor’s strategy, clearly prefers getting two picks in the first round than spreading them across the second and third, he’s the one that knows what talent is there, ridiculous that you’d think he’d not be part of this planning, and that we just ‘don’t trust him’.

Leaning towards overrated. Out of contract this year, wouldn’t hate a change. Since 2020, extremely hit and miss if you care to have a look. Four first round picks in Laurie, JVR, Jefferson and Tholstrup that are having no impact. Howes, Woewodin, Adams more that are looking average. Windsor may have been too far of a reach. This whole strategy of getting rid of all your second / third round picks to move up a couple spots in the first round is really hurting us, it’s not paying off, no depth when we need a quantity of good young players. He’s paid the big bucks, landing a Joel Freijah type at pick 45 or Logan Morris at 31 is what can see a team rise, more of this and less of being so obsessed with trading future firsts, time to earn your pay packet JT

Jackson would have to be insane to go anywhere near this rabble at the moment.

Pick 15 27 and 35 was it to move up two spots to grab Tholstrup ? Great list management

Surely if you’re dropping Lever you throw Petty down back and keep JVR and Jefferson together ? Seems weird. Throwing JVR around like a yo yo between Casey and AFL is no good, especially when you’re asking a key forward to second ruck most of the time then play measly minutes up forward.

Hitting the draft while you’re in the premiership window just isn’t it, stupid line of thinking, how are kids going to give you another crack at it, you need mature agers to improve again.

Clayton will 100% be shopped around again end of year, unrelated to McKay, Matt Rowell signing on probably helps our cause a bit, creates a bit more of a market

What about last year when Tim Lamb was going to trade out the picks that nabbed us Langford and Lindsay for a 28 year old Dan Houston who would’ve helped us get from 14th to 12th and Alan Richardson went ‘we need to get older not younger’ then oh wait never mind we need to go to the draft let’s rebuild talk about a pair of gooses that don’t know where we are. 0 faith.

Jason Taylor is not contracted for 2026 yet 😬 OOC right now

It’s JVR’s fourth year in the system, surely we can’t just put basic dropped chest marks down to ‘3rd year blues’

Did we reach too far for Windsor on draft night? Overlooked Caddy and Connor O’Sullivan. Windsor has not adjusted to the half back role, so he goes back onto a wing, is it worth using pick 7 on a winger ? How much impact can he have? Would probably need to become an inside mid in time to justify the pick.

Ridiculous take 😂 He is 0% chance of coming to Melbourne, it’s Stkilda Adelaide or Port, been the narrative all year

Delusional

Jefferson needs a month of footy in the ones, as does Tholstrup, why not see what our first rounders can do when given a proper go at it

Don’t think it’s about what we’d get for them it’s just about getting the money off the books

Scary that Tim Lamb is in control of the club’s destiny at such a crucial time.

Will stuff us, no one is taking Clayton Oliver on, it’s a disaster, Petracca not far behind, disinterested and won’t be the same after his injury

Not sure anyone’s going to take him to be honest

3 million dollars into Oliver and Petracca every year til 2030, we are stuffed. Viney til 28’. No speed, no skill. In 2025 and beyond that will get you absolutely no where. We are an old fashioned midfield. Not sure what to do from here. No one‘a going to take these contracts or players on.

How bad is Oliver, should be doing anything we can to find a buyer end of year, though there probably won’t be, must cut ties

Flanders is an excellent inside mid being wasted at half forward, would be smart for a club to try and drag him out whilst Suns continue to bring in first round academy talent every year
