Great efforts no doubt, if a club offered me 2 top 10 picks I would jump at it. Nothing to do with a bad season, it is how he prepared for the season. I also don't believe we can win another flag with our current midfield. You need to plan for the Tassie Drafts, Oliver had trade currency although that seems extremely diminished now.

What Clarry are you talking about the star or the one that played in 2024.

I'm the opposite, all for trading Oliver if the trade value was worth it. On about 1 million a year to play AFL, that is your job, it's your responsibility to prepare yourself to perform your best. The club has a small window to cut him loose or you are stuck with him for the length of his contract. Next year If he turns up and plays like he did this year no club will want him including Melbourne. The only reason Melbourne won't trade him is because the return for him is no where near adequate.

Wasn't it Perts review in 2020 that lead to a flag in 2021

Bailey, Ashcroft, Neale, Zorko, Rayner, Lyons, Ah Chee, McCluggage, Fletcher if any of these players joined MFC they would be amongst our top 5 ball users.

Easy to say some club will take him on but we have to get a trade that works. It will be unders on what his value is but you want a top 10 pick and low second round pick.

Give me future first plus Toby Conway or Sam De koning. No way does a deal get done with a mid to late first round pick

No, we need elite kick our midfield is full of average or below average kicks. Brisbane tore Sydney apart with elite kicking through the corridor. Clubs have worked out to beat the zones you need to hit that 20 to 35m kick, we just don't have enough players on our list that can hit that kick.

What the fs and NGA picks enable you to do is have first round picks to use for trades knowing that you get young players in as long as you build points to cover.

What about Liam Reidy from the dockers, third in line there big unit 24 years old, Victorian lad, wouldn't cost a lot.

Yep and skills. You want players that can hit targets. It has evolved back to drafting footballers no matter what size.

Doesn't seem to be many highly rated talls this year a lot of mids

Yep, has been since its inception. You have this then next sentence Stuart Cochrane trying to get his sons eligible for port NGA as he try's to prove his indigenous background. How far back up the family tree are you allowed to go for indigenous players?

Awesome, who will be there at pick 5 and who might be there after pick 10, I reckon we need to trade for another first rd pick, whether that is trading our future first or bundle up picks for a club that will get fs/NGA. Maybe Carlton if their FS will go that heigh

Who can win the footy, burst away from the contest and can hit a target, whoever the best at this should be our pick
