BAMF

Kudos for updating this list. I come here regularly throughout the season. Surely Sharp got more than a one year contract when crossing over from Brisbane?

We did pay for him. A late third round draft (albeit a cheap commodity), salary, a list spot and club resources. He isn't playing for free. I never thought he would be a pure ruck but it's easy to see why other supporters think he is when our own website has him listed as one. I have no idea why he had such a stinker of a season. His stats and history suggested that he could play at AFL level. I'm predicting he gets played on defence at Casey at some stage this year. Fingers crossed he is able to turn it around this year.

I see. With Petty training with both forwards and back you place him on the bench. I don't know myself yet. I feel like Petty will have to battle TMac for that defensive position and Johnson up front. TMac won't be giving up that spot lightly. I'm thinking that Johnson could be ready to go up front and has more flexibility with ruck depth. I want to hear more about Johnson before making a call, but Petty might be spending time at Casey. Edit: on another note we both still have Laurie in the centre. I'm not convinced this is good for his development but we still don't have many options at the inside mid position with so many inside players in the senior team

It's been reported by track watchers that he has done some drills with the defenders

Distorted. He had come straight from Revs.

Defeated the Balrog and comes back leveled up as Petracca the white.

I remember picking a sport when I started primary school down there. AFL was the 3rd option for most kids. Soccer and Hockey were the choice of 95% of kids. Not all schools were like that though. That will change down there when they get their own team.

I certainly think Disco will be a permanent best 23 player and that will be in the forward line. I'm hoping that a full preseason and Discos natural progression as a 22 year old will see him kick 25 - 30 goals. I'm not expecting him to turn into Tony Lockett in one preseason.

Me too. Speaks well. Has worked hard to get the opportunity. Seems humble. 24 years old puts him the same age as Sparrow and the 2018 draft class.

What would the difference be for your best 23? Pickett for Lindsay? Personally I think Sharp will be slotted in to ANBs flank.

If he doesn't play defence then I don't see the room now. Poorly worded. Edited. Thanks

100% For me this is the selection that says "We made some trade mistakes that we need to fix". This is the fix. Fullerton to the backline.

Thank [censored] Xavier got the Dees plural right.

I put it down to nerves. He just got drafted knowing that he was about to have a microphone stuck in his face.

I was filthy that we wasted a pick on Jeremy Howe in 2010. I really wanted Matthew Watson. Stupid recruiters...

Port gave up 16 and 45 for West Coast pick 15 based on what was displayed on the fox telecast. It doesn't make sense to me. Port give away pick 45 for nothing unless they knew west coast were going to take Berry which seemed unlikely with Bo Allan on the board.

You either sit back and wait for the draft night to see who our recruitment team pick or join in the fun and form opinions based on 2 min highlight videos. The result was always going to be the same so why not get involved? All a bit of fun.

Port just gave away pick 45 for no reason. How bizarre.

Some harsh critics in here. Reminds me of the game day threads when Salem makes one mistake and a few posters say "no idea why Salem is considered a good kick" I'm hoping we go for Allan but would be happy with Lindsay.

There was plenty of discussion early on for North to trade pick 2 and a future first for pick 6 and 11 from Richmond. That hasn't had a mention for awhile now though

Potentially why we have the late pick available to match a bid. If it comes too early then so be it.

Zane Cochrane https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/zane-cochrane/ Oakleigh Chargers midfielder Zane Cochrane was pegged as an emerging prospect during preseason and did enough during season proper to warrant a state draft combine invite. The 187cm contested bull regularly imposed himself at the contest with his size and stoppage nous, playing his best games when getting stuck in going both ways.

Then we shut down all discussion apart from "Yay, the club know what they are doing and have never made a mistake!"
