Bradtke is playing for the Dandenong Stingrays this weekend.

Ben Ainsworth or Tom Papley would be decent targets to trade for.

Comfortably my most disliked player in over 30 years of supporting the club with his unnecessary look away handballs and tackling people in congestion that are going to be tackled anyway. The worst part of him is that he refuses to put his head in the hole or to bodyline the ball or the players he is tackling. He misses and doesn't stick so many tackles that would actually mean anything because of this and he never safely wins disputed ball. An absolutely horrific player who looks half decent when we are dominating but who is a conman of the highest order.

6. Clayton Oliver 5. Angus Brayshaw 4. Max Gawn 3. Jack Viney 2. James Harmes 1. Christian Salem

Wouldn't count out him playing down back as well. Cats have Dahlhaus, Myers, Ablett, Atkins and Parfitt all rolling through their forward fifty and they were playing a lot of 2 tall four small last week with Gary Rohan and Danger mixed in. Lockhart may come in to do a job down back, maybe try and go with Atkins, Myers and Dahlhaus if Jetta and Hibberd are occupied with Ablett and Danger. Could be In: May, Lockhart Out: Frost Hore if they decide KK needs another week. Could also play as forward to of course.

They don't have many talls at all.

I thought Keilty showed enough to be an ok emergency third ruckman if it got to that point - The question is would any of the state league ruckman make any sort of difference if we had a ruck injury crisis. The player most thought was the best mature age ruckman in the draft Darcy Fort has looked horrible for Geelong.

Strongish side - new ruckmans name is Wale-Buxton FYI

Agree with this. Unfortunately despite his good attributes - high effort, endurance, great clubman - he has major deficiencies. He doesn't crack in, he takes circular approaches to the football and to his opponent so he very rarely ever bodylines the ball or the man to put himself in danger. He is actually one of the softest players in the side. He is poor overhead and not a one touch footballer or a good user by foot. What he does OK is create an outnumber to be able to lock the ball in He is clearly instructed to take on a under 12s approach whereby he just chases the ball to add number to the contest and he does that very well to lock the ball in. This is where his tackle stats come from. Unfortunately, the Eagles cruelly exposed this tactic in the first quarter of the preliminary final.

It's Liam Wale-Buxton - been a dominant Eastern Football League ruckman the last few years with Vermont and for the Tiwi Bombers in the offseason.

Seecamp never played with Haydn Robins

Not sure if been mentioned but he has a BOG Three Brownlow vote game on Kennedy.

Does that mean all the posters on Demonland should never appraise player or coach performances?

Kent had a top 10 best and fairest vote per game time position this seAson. Small forward is a weak position at the club. With so many delistings, it seems a waste to effectively lose him for nothing when there is no list size pressures.

Fit and with any continuity he was best 22 - its a horrible trade.

Super quick. If he can find a bit more composure, would be handy. More versatile than many think.

The Eagles dont play fumbly defensive forward dribblers who cant kick and refuse to take a straight line at the ball or the body.

6. James Harmes 5. Clayton Oliver 4. Aaron VandenBerg 3. Christian Petracca 2. Joel Smith 1. Angus Brayshaw

6. Jack Viney - by so far the best on the ground. An incredible performance off 66% game time. 5. Max Gawn - Shaded McEvoy. If he doesn't play, we don't win. Tapwork second half instrumental. 4. Clayton Oliver - 7 clearances, 8 tackles - grinded away again. 3. Tom McDonald - four goals and was the safety valve and steadier all night. 2. James Harmes - battled hard against Mitchell, didn't let him cut us up. 1. Michael Hibberd - very good in the first half.

Viney has been by so far the best player on the ground it isn't funny. Only played 65% game time as well. Incredible.

Technically yes, but if all those are given in finals, it will get farcical.

I agree was basically a basketball charging foul situation. I don't think it should have been a free in AFL football, but it would have been very hard for Oliver to stay upright.

I think that would be fair based on what his performances were as a pressure forward, but since moving to defence he has become a more interesting prospect and definitely not as automatic a delist option as he once was.

He’s now playing as a back pocket and has been going ok. Hes hard at it and kicks well off both sides. The query is is he nimble enough to control good AFL small forwards and nimble enough to break away from traffic to distribute the ball.
