Real like for like, isn't it?

All I can hear is this bloody cover band...

I'll admit here that I haven't watched Casey enough this year, so should reserve judgement, but it is a worry he wasn't able to at least get one game. You can hide a small forward a bit. As long as they tackle.

Pretty strange that the non captain wins the leadership award again. You'd hope one of your two captains would clinch it. Maybe he has.

Maybe just upping his trade value before trade period.

Lol, Daz, mate, you might have gone a bit early on our superstar backman. Sprinting from the back of the pack into 6th. Now, just wait for the turnover.

Was about to say exactly the same thing. He could barely move in the first few games. Clearly carrying a groin injury or something like it. Could barely kick the ball. Shows how much we struggled in those first few rounds. Yep, just the first few rounds. We were great after that.

I think Bedford is a worry purely based on the fact he wasn't able to break into the team in a year where we were crying out for small forwards.

Couldn't possibly have been mate. This is ET the Trade Breaker.

You gonna wear your mask, mate, or try a few without it?

Interesting that both of the chaos coaches (Beveridge and Hardwick) come from the school of control (Clarkson).

You tell us, TradeBreaker. Don't you mean "Scott Burns is confirmed for the Adelaide gig #ETradeBreaker™©️"?

Good call. He was in the 2016 draft. Thought it was strange he was only 19. What a derper. Very true too. Shut up, A F. Let's get back on the Ben King train.

You tried to compare their stats. That was my issue. Not their asking price.

If you make the comparison with us, May is the lock down FB, Lever the intercept marker, Hibberd is the run and gun. We're just missing the designated kicker and general. Perhaps Jones can play that role in 2020? Great comments though, mate. Thanks for sharing. Actually a very nice guy is Damien. Fascinating hearing how Hardwick and Buckley turned their careers around after internal reviews. Let's hope Goody can take heed of a similar review. I'd also proffer Sav Rocca as an alternative.

And since I'm on a roll tonight, maybe Jeremy Cameron is gettable on a 6-7 year contract?

The Lido's pretty nice.

Some people value contracts too. What a funny inclination.

Now for Taranto.

Well, exactly. Because we're wedded to him, we'll pay what we need to pay. And the little dill will make sure of it.

Yes, I know, we may not need another bull, but if Ben King is a no go, I'd put pick 3 down on the table for Tim Taranto and that way GWS get their man, but we get a guy who is trending upwards is an incredible way. Oliver, Taranto, Harmes. That's a tough, ball-winning trio. The guy is 19 and had a super consistent year at GWS. Thoughts...

We're also signing Tomlinson and Schwab is taking over from Pert.

I haven't noticed anyone else doing it, but goodo.

Fair enough. Just seems pretty useless to me to use stats as a measure of comparing both positions when neither necessarily need to be highly statistical. Unless you're counting repeated springs, blocking up holes in defence from the wing or shutting down your man. The KPIs for a defensive wing position would only be known internally and given he's played 3 straight seasons at an outfit like GWS, I'd say he's been doing a good job of it. And for the record, I'm fine with Frost as back up depth. He's good depth actually, but the overrating going on in these parts of his abilities is hilarious. He's an exciting athlete that struggles when the ball is in his hands on a football field.
