whatwhat say what

Goodes isn’t involved in the final quarter; it was made without his involvement How anyone can say the abuse he suffered wasn’t significantly racially motivated beggars belief

The Norm Smith curse goes west!

yep, was thinking ryan when reading duggan so what about the next options after rowell, anderson, and kemp?

interesting that you compare ash to a defensive pressure forward, cos from my understand he's mostly played running defender - gotta say his contested ball winning numbers - or lack of em - worry me a great deal; positively toumpas-like in terms of percentage people forget that robbie gray was a speculative pick at #55 when port grabbed him - he's my fave non-demon so if serong turned out to be as good as robbie i'd happily have him i would love anderson but i think he and rowell are headed to gc17, and we'll have a choice of one of the others rowell sounds like he'll be an immediate inside midfield rotation player no matter where he goes next year, while anderson and kemp will be initially outside runners, potential there to become damaging inside / outside players who would you like the most of these players @Lord Travis? which do you see as being able to benefit us immediately vs long-term, and what roles would they have in our side?

I hope we start winning games and those around us do too Watch the afl award GC17 the first five picks in the draft...

3-4 weeks away from MFC playing is consistent with what he is saying - two weeks away from resuming at vfl for a half and then 1-2 weeks away from afl

how far off is the davey clan?

i for one am really excited to hopefully see this weekend how petty and weed work together, against the best defence in the game footscray don't have much in terms of tall defenders particularly, but petty played well against them i like the idea of both weed and petty forward - they bring the ball to ground level and fight hard when it's there, playing in our forward line is a pretty tough ask; both look cooked later in the game (weed all year and petty shifting back with may moving forward late against the scrays) definitely keen to persist with petty forward given the absence of t mac and the defensive linchpins of may, frost, and lever

what they did is won the ball, spread brilliant, and kicked accurately in short, they played great footy - other than robinson mouthing off coming off the bench (when they were already six goals up), they weren't that demonstrative back against port really neale also came on and off the ground a lot to try to shake the tag port are harder to get a read on than us; they're up and down whereas we're just consistently ordinary fwiw, i didn't think port did anything that untoward to either gawn or neale - just made em earn it

He’s a liability defensively and offensively Doesn’t run hard either way and can’t hit a target by foot

ANB and Hannan should both go for Baker and JKH, while Weed in / out will depend on fitness I guess

We will finish 17th and GC17 will get a priority pick Nothing surer!

6: Gawn 5: Salem 4: Viney 3: May 2: Petracca 1: Petty

This maggoting...

Coniglio should still get some nice fat contract offers, knee knack or not

This maggoting is quite something...

mykelti lefau looks like someone who should be on an afl list lots of our afl-listed players look like players who should be on a vfl list

I’m keen on Day as a free agent But in terms of the next Mihocek? You’ve gotta be lucky - started as a defender st vfl level and has been terrific as a forward at afl level...Pies re-tooled him as a necessity to fill a role and he’s been terrific ever since There has to be another player out there who we can get lucky with; we’ve already seen Hore become best 22 for us (subject to availability) and there MUST be more 22-25 year olds out there more than capable of achieving at afl level

I’d rather find the next Mihocek than go anywhere near Jenkins or Casboult

gibbs doesn't run defensively...at all makes gus brayshaw look defensively proactive he doesn't get to repeat contests and he looks completely washed is on big, big money if reports are true (got $1.4-1.6m owed to him over the next two seasons) and no one will want to take that sort of contract on

Cracking game

The only way you’d contemplate taking Gibbs is if it was a salary dump for Adelaide that say netted us something of real value We get: Bryce Gibbs, Crows’ 2020 first round pick, Crows’ 2019 second round pick...which is actually Carlton’s (so at this stage pick 20) We lose: Stretch, 2020 third round pick Only then would you contemplate taking on his rumoured salary and...issues

remains one of our best players

might as well trade gawn too, eh? he obviously doesn't actually watch us that much if he thinks anb plays thru the midfield

@ArtificialWisdom, i wonder - would you take steve hill as a free agent over brad hill as a trade? sam day will also be a free agent this year, and his body is holding up (at the moment) if we were to look to get some extra depth in kpf stocks
