Frosty has the athletic profile of a running half back flanker but not the skill profile of a running half back flanker. Can run and carry but poor game sense/disposal means he does not capitalise on his metres gained. He has the height and build of key defender but not the skill set. Is not great one on one under a high ball, either spoiling or marking. What is that profile worth dollarwise within the cap?

The 9th pre season's a charm!

Ryan Burton and a first round pick which if I recall correctly became Xavier Duursma.

Elliot is a free agent so no need to trade the Weed.

I am ok with Suns getting priority pick and other draft concessions. AFL took their eye off the ball, and now we have to pay the price. We need to fix ourselves.

Clarkson may not be stupid but he does make mistakes. Frosty would make a great forward in rugger, with his build and speed. Pros He is tall, super quick and durable. Cons His marking, kicking and positioning are inconsistent. He has yet to show that he can play as a genuine key defender. How much of salary cap do we pay?

In the NBA a team can trade a contracted player to a destination of the team's choice. If we pick up Tomlinson with intention of trading him next year he would have to agree to the trade.

Are there any 'elite' outsiders available? We are desperate for elite running power on wing and flanks. Tomlinson does not have to be a superstar he just has to have the attributes to play his role. His status as an unrestricted free agent means we don't have to give up any assets. Salary cap wise there is no talk that current admin is overpaying players as rumoured in past. Langdon and Tomlinson fill a pretty obvious need. Baker is promising. Who knows we might not play inside mids on the wing in 2020. Imagine that!

Petracca will be boosted by actually playing running half back flankers and wingers who he can kick to in space when he wins the ball. His passing can be lethal.

That is a firm no to user name and post content!

Turns 31 in December so Hawthorn would project he is not in their next flag team. Isaac has played his best footy but still played to a reasonable standard this season. From a Dees perpsective he fits an obvious need but given likely to get only 1 or 2 good seasons Hawks will likely want more than he is worth.

Dees players gathered at Max's bar on the Sunday night according to my reliable Camberwell Market Dee's source.

Break even figure is a different to figure budgeted for home game attendance. Unless we were very conservative with our home game attendance forecasts the drop off in attendances will see a shortfall in actual revenue to forecast revenue.

I thought I'd got the starting time wrong and arrived way early to my reserved seat in the Tridents on L2 of Southern Stand for the Tiges game. I'd arrived 30 minutes before the first bounce. I suspect that attendances at home games were significantly under budget forecasts, particularly for the run of home games against the Tigers, Pies and Swans, and we're going to make a reasonably significant loss. I could be wrong.

Lewis will seemingly head to media. Probably more lucrative and less time consuming than starting out as an assistant coach. Quite like his media work, more incisive than most retired players turned commentators. The rug is a tad distracting.

The Ooze chastising a player for a lack of defensive pressure may even satisfy Alannis' pedantry! Clarkson is the best coach of the modern era so he has been learning from the best at tactical innovation and getting players to understand and implement that tactical innovation.

Need players with speed/endurance mix on wings and flanks. Langdon fits that profile. Baker looks promising. Cant play inside mids on wing or flank. They'll get sucked into contest robbing us of width and they'll be outrun by their more athletic opponents.

Prymke was not enigmatic. No frills but very effective Centre Half Back cruelled by injury.

Outstanding athlete. Still maturing as a footballer and has more work to do on decision making and execution. Encourage to use his pace and take the game on but work hard on decision making to capitalise on his metres gained.

Hope they don't try and handball any beers or there'll be Bruce-ian carnage.

To a degree our lack of width impacts Oliver. He wins lots of contested ball but all too often all his teammates are with him at the contest rather than some holding their width off the contest in space for the release handball. Too often this results in a handball that simply handballs the pressure to a teammate 1 metre away. However like most of his teammates Oliver has to spend off season improving endurance and power. And he could learn off Fritsch passing up the 1 metre handball in favour of short pass to a player inside 50.

Sadly the Blues have finally managed to transport themselves from the 1990s to the second decade of the new century.

Not an inside mid or utility. Good.

Needs an interrupted preseason. Played Round 1 this year after only 1 preseason game the week prior after 2 years interrupted by the same foot injury. Needs to get through preseason loads required to attain level of fitness an AFL mid requires.

Presume PWC will use sponsorship as leverage to get more SA govt work. The Big 4 earn a bucketload from government contracts.
