Not our worst player today. There's definitely potential there. just needs to clean up the turnovers and he'll be a good player.

I've been looking around the competition for young key forwards and I think I might have found 2. Firstly, this kid Jack Watts. Is in the right age bracket, is 196cm and runs 20m in 2.8 seconds. He's shown great improvement this season, will only get bigger and strong and could take the competition by storm. Secondly, how about a young kid Lucas Cook. Only drafted last year hasn't played a game yet, but has shown some terrific signs at VFL for a stick thin KPP. 196cm, has a frame to put on muscle and is a very smart footballer. Knows how to hit a target and can take a mark. As a bit of a smokey, how about we trade for a kid called JAck Fitzpatrick. He had glandular fever and injured in his first 2 season but should be over them by next year. Is 201cm key forward! Exactly what we need to develop. Is the right age bracket. All 3 of these young guys will be peaking when we are coming top 4 in 2-3 years time, so perfect age bracket. Imo, trading for these kids is wayyyyy better than continuously discussing the same old spuddish piles of poo like Tom Hawkins and Jesse White. And I'd also much rather talk about Watts, Cook and Fitzpatrick than speak about the most promising young key forwards from other teams that are under contract and the other club would never release them (Kurt Tippet and Josh Kennedy) What would it take to get it done?

Good god, will people stop suggesting dud key forwards as if they're going to fix all our problems. Hawkins and Jesse White are both spuds and would continue to be so at our club. Taylor Walker has promise, but no moreso than Cook or Watts and its a moot point anyways because he's already signed a deal with GWS. Fev is not the player he used to do, people need to get over the romanticised version of the type of player he could be back at afl. he's a cancer to any club he's at. Yes we need a key forward... but what we need to do is develop our own key forwards- Cook, Watts and Fitzpatrick. And if we're going to trade in a key forward we need to throw big money at a seriously quality one- like Dawes or Cloke from Collingwood.

Interesting that we took 2 ruckman in a draft renowned to be shallow for rucks. However both these guyz are great value at 34 and 50 so definitely can't complain. At 34 and 50 you are always relatively speculative, so these guyz have huge potential. If one of these 2 become great afl players, we'll be happy

just added $50 bucks... i'm only a uni student so its all i could give... but i'm definietly getting caught up in the demolition fever
