Small forwards - what are our trading and draft options?
Has kicked 11.14 in 30 games. If he's a forward he's a small one in a scoring sense.

Jack Martin
I've got no interest in blowing any remaining cap space to sign this guy, but can't believe we'd go in the paper saying "we'll pick him if he wants to play for us". How about saying "we're keeping our options open and reserve our right to draft him if he's there at our pick" in the hope that he either comes around (preferably at a reasonable price) or it hopefully poisons the well by either influencing what the Blues do in the draft or even better convincing them to offer him more money that he's not worth.

What to do with what is now Pick 74?
Somebody with a criminal record that we wouldn't ordinary touch with a 10 foot barge pole.

Jobe Watson will get Brownlow Back.
Didn't they also 'misplace' a bunch of the records of who was jabbed with what? Thanks for the safe space to ask this innocent question without Essendon cult nuffies jumping in.

Are we plotting a late heist?
Only if he signs the contract

Need for another ruckman?
Didn't hurt us too badly when McDonald did it in mid-2017. Not against parking a mature player on the rookie list but if Gawn/Preuss both go down we can get away with it.

Splitting Draft Pick 3
The Caldwell chat inspired me to learn more about him. First page of Google "Jye Caldwell's frustrating run with injuries has continued". Will fit in perfectly!

Buckenara: Dees List Overrated
I can accept Jetta being ranked poorly. At his best he's great but even when he played this year he was average. However, by that logic having Kolodjashnij above Petracca should ensure he's never allowed to submit an article again without taking a [censored] test first.

Freddie Clutterbuck
Missed the chance at having an A+ name on the list. Instead we got Leigh Williams and next thing the poor bloke was in a coma.
-
Jamie Elliott
Was happy to get him for free but would have been on the countdown to the inevitable pre-season injury.

Keith “Bluey” Truscott Trophy 2019
Is there a full list of the votes? I find it NQR that the club would only post the top 20 on the website. I'm sure Kade Chandler won't slash his wrists when he's shown finishing 37th.

2019 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May
The first quarter against Collingwood (second game) was top shelf. If he stays fit and plays that next year we'll get good value.
-
Farewell Sam Frost
The tour that Hawthorn claimed didn't happen must have been a raging success.

The calumny of the AFL's priority pick policy
If we improve enough in 2020 we can get shafted by next year's priority pick too.
-
No [censored] policy
Does anyone seriously think Martin would be the player he is today if we'd drafted him? He'd have ODed on sleeping pills with Daniel Connors then rammed a chopstick through somebody's head after being revived. Meanwhile, have we ever drafted somebody post-jail? I know Jurrah and Fabian Francis landed there after playing for us, and I'm told Robert Walters did too but not sure for what, but trying to think of somebody we got after they'd been in the clink.
-
Premiership Window: Open or Closed?
Open but only in an even season. More likely we'll get good just in time for a Hawthorn '88 or Essendon '00.
-
The Christopher Woods Thread
What about the Adelaide bloke called 'Anzac' - that name will get over huge if he makes their list.
-
Useless Demons Stats
Would help identify the regulars who shouldn't be playing.

Useless Demons Stats
Brayshaw's third place is the most overrated stat around. We mock Brownlow votes for being ridiculously slanted to midfielders and know full well he wasn't in the top 30 players in the league last year let alone top three but still get caught up in comparing his seasons like there's something new to be learnt. We all know he was ordinary this year, don't need umpires to tell me.

The calumny of the AFL's priority pick policy
Do we get our priority pick for 2013 at the same time?

Good name. Silly name.- I’ve watched 5 decades of failure!
The good news you don't have to wait long for a sixth.- Irish recruits
About time we had another bash at an Irishman but I would like Ronan Devereux just for his charismatic name.- Preuss to Work on Forward Craft
And I bet you first bounce Round 1, 2020 he's lining up as first ruck for Casey not as a forward. If we're going to have a Reserves team it needs to be used for development, not to try and win an increasingly meaningless cup. - Caleb Serong (Drafted by Fremantle)
