Adam The God

I really think the deal was done earlier in the season when the team was still entrenched in the 8, and that as soon as it became clear we would get a top 10 pick, the FD started to fracture over what to pay for him, and eventually decided what he would cost was out of our ballpark. His management then threw us under the bus to save face for DH.

I think we've found him. Dazzle and Adonski are Osama Binman Laden.

@dazzledavey36 and @adonski the same person? Glad Melksham will get an extension.

No way Jack Whitlock goes that late. I'd nab him with the Nibbler pick if he did go that late.

I just shake my head when I see threads like this. Sensible post mate.

Rubbish.

I don't view him as a 10-15 player in the comp...

He was a good pick, wouldn't call him an amazing pick. But yeah, agreed, academy access and COLA has kept them up. Meanwhile, their coach and team consistently crumble on the big day or even for 3 quarters in qualifying finals too.

And a bloody good premiership winning coach...

Gulden was an academy player. As was Heeney, as was Blakey, as was Mills. You know, like all their best players.

On ya, Greeny! 🤦

If we were playing FIFA maybe, but in reality state league players do not have the elite fitness required to play at the top level for a season. Those guys know what standards get you there and would be good back up, and good for Casey to develop our younger guys coming through. Taberner is a stronger back than Schache if required and Ross is no worse than JJ, Dunstan or Harmes.

Separation of church/synagogue/mosque and football club, thanks very much.

Walsh would work in any system because he's a machine runner. Having Lingers and Walsh in the same team would be a dream, and probably mean we could tweak our system even more.

Nah, I was all for Cerra pre Carlton, but not only has he failed to live up to expectation Inhad on him, he's constantly injured. The Carlton mid I'd like is Walsh, but he too has injury problems and they'd never let him go. He'd be perfect in our system.

Meh. We have way more pressing needs. Like elite mids to support Viney, Clarry and Trac. And half backs to help our transition game. Houston and Cumming are still good ideas, Cumming is preferable given he only costs TPP.

TDK is a nice player, but I reckon they're going to shed a highly paid player soon. He's a difficult one, because they've already got two star forwards and a good ruckman, if I were them I'd be trying to turn TDK into another mid or even a Houston.

And the Blues still haven't win a flag for 30 years...

What are you talking about?

Maybe not...

Green can steer the ship for a year, and then Smith can take over.

Haha, sorry to be a pedant, OD. I think he's going to be a star. He'd be one of the best forwards in the game if he one grabbed more often. I'm a big fan. You?

Maybe we need to pay Benny better. He was great, and give him a media team around him.

Vote 1 Jaded.

Lindsay seems super outside without elite disposal. He seems a good kick, but I can see why he's nowhere near the top 5, let alone top 10. I'd be staggered if he goes top 10, and would strongly believe it'd be a decision based on needs for the club that takes him.
