Howe wanted to play forward whereas he was playing back for us. Buckley signed him to play forward, but quickly realised he can only play as a back. Go figure!

"Watts ticks so many boxes for the Demons. He also oozes leadership and maturity." ???

Glad you're paying attention.

Fortunately, the recruiters don't rate a player based upon output when just coming back from a long term injury. They will be looking at the next 8-10 years of Lever in our backline. He was seen as the best young defender in the comp when we traded picks 10 and 19 for him. He'll be well worth it, IMO

Perhaps the talk of our alleged interest in Keith from Adelaide may be part of a Frost trade.

No offence LB, but if I hear that phrase one more time I'm going to spew up. It's a dumb, nothing phrase that comes from a lack of nuance. 'Drain the swamp' is the other one, thanks to Donald.

Can you play 2nd ruck?

I would be thinking the opposite. Signing Bennell would be a coach killer move

Exactly. *Anderson

I thought you said it was pick 3.... Hedging your bets?

More than you, it would seem

So you think.

Or it means the player we think will be there at pick 2 will be too good to trade away the pick for Hill. Pretty simple really.

Fake news. He oversaw Collingwood's 2010 flag.

I watched his first game at Manuka Oval vs GWS. Nearly as cold as tonight's game there. Maynard got a stack of it. I remember thinking we had found something. Alas....

Surprised the commentators havent brought up that old chestnut yet

Would rather Wynona.

Really? Not so sure about that. Did you see the footage of his interview for Freo's team of the past 25 years (or whatever it was). He was crying and saying how much he loved Freo FC. Looked pretty convincing to me.

So you're all for us to pick up Bennell then? You think he'll come good? Despite apparently having an achillies tendon that looks like the contents of a banh mi pulled pork roll?

I can just see Stuie itching to type #pedomyths one last time

Who will relieve Max? Petty? Omac?

True, but IMO Bennell has a higher ceiling than Watts if both are fit. However, neither passes the 'no dhead' test, if we want to apply that. I'd be all for getting Bennell if we had some evidence his calves were up to it. Given his history, I can't see that happening.

Good points LN. Worth noting we traded Tyson and Kent, who perhaps would've been on $250-350k each.

Paul Roos theory - one dhead suppresses the performance of ten others.
