whatwhat say what

The logical fit for Lever is one of Frost, Kielty, or J Smith, unless they go with a runner like Hunt Smith and Melksham are in doubt so you’d think Pedo or Weid for Smith and possibly Garlett or Balic for Milkshake... I’m going to go with Hunt, Weideman and Garlett if all three miss, and hopefully just Hunt for Lever Man it’s dee-pressing to lose Lever

i don't know if he is best 22, but he's definitely best 25 we lose one inside mid and i'd wager he'd be straight in, although it's great that the likes of stretch are now adding inside ball winning to their skills at vfl level i think he's worth more to us than he is in a trade - he's sort of like lambert was at tigers for a while, before he locked down a spot, and like how miles has been forced from that side he'd be starting midfield rotation at a succession of other clubs, and i'd personally rather have him as a player able to come in rather than losing him for anything outside of a top 25 pick, and if it was 20-25 i'd be pretty disappointed, as players who've played 80 odd games and are as young as he is are fairly valuable

If Don didn’t deliver a pick inside 25 I wouldn’t consider it Midfield depth is key to winning games of football

As a matter of interest, what’s the vibe with Bradtke? FWIW I asked some scouts about him and they said he was a completely unknown quantity Yet fellow students at his school say he is as naturally talented as the King twins, [censored] both expected to go top five in this draft What’d Taylor say? edit: it is ABSURD that who’re if it doesn’t have an apostrophe in it gets censored...it is an actual word ffs

both meth coke and the jokers will offer hogan a mega-sized contract no matter what we do what's interesting is that, at this stage, he WON'T be a free agent at the next contract negotiation of course, it's not within the realms of possibilities that the afl will arbitrarily declare that his pre-listing year on our list counts, or that 6 years is the new free agency marker, or what have you make hay while the sun shines with hogan; the story is gonna be there every year that one of the wa sides is into him in a big, big way cos he's a mega-sized talent

funnily enough, you could argue hogan has become the sort of player stringer was - capable of getting up and down the ground, playing thru the midfield, impacting the scoreboard, bringing his teammates into the play, taking great contested grabs, and generally dominating as a modern day forward

Since going inside mid he’s been sensational Was never going to make it as a flanker; but on the inside? Jet

Big Al’s player representation for the cricketers was top notch; what’s his business acumen and revenue generation ability like, not to mention his interpersonal skills?

Why can’t we have nice things?!??

he's so smooth moving around the ground big fan here

we can keep both macs, brayshaw, give vince another year AND get gaff we're very well structured financially from a salary cap perspective (allegedly)

He’s a good player but so far is being talked up and hasn’t done much Was pick 5 the same year as Trac, Brayshaw, and Lever - I’d still take all of them over him

Going inside mid has completely changed his game He looked lost playing as a flanker and I was seriously questioning his role in the side Well it’s clearly an inside mid ball-hunting beast Now it’ll be interesting to see how he’s valued by our club and others

we don't have the assets to trade for him free agency all the way - gaff, dahlhaus this year; shiel, coniglio next year

both shiel and martin are in contract and we don't have the assets to trade for either of them shiel will be a free agent at the conclusion of his next contract, as may be martin better to wait til then

Gaff? Yes please

interesting that they say six weeks for avb yet say he'll be playing after the bye; which is in four weeks?

I couldn’t get over his field kicking on the weekend It looked like he was drilling 50-60m passes He is a very, very special player

Dude on a facebook group I frequent says that they taught young Kobe and he’s a massive Dockers fan...

very happy to see gus have a great game last week after a second week in the guts i had massive doubts on his role in the team as a half back / half forward, but his work in the square was great however, for mine he is a long way behind petracca in terms of being a quality top level afl player this was his best game by a mile, but let's see him do it regularly

so salem and viney are still out this week?

at the game, i thought he was okay he's still clearly best 22 and will remain so for several years i suspect

Would love him at the Dees Has been playing more as an inside mid at meth coke this year, but I would love to see him burning up the wings at the MCG in the red and blue

His best game for the club Still a titch fumbly at times when the pressure was on early, but he settled nicely and it was brilliant to see him not just up-and-under kicking it regularly Keep going Gus
