Random Task

We should have plenty of salary cap space to go after a big target in the next year or two. While I can't see a "big fish" landing this year, next year has some tantalising prospects out of contract. In no particular order I'd be looking at: Oliver Florant (RFA) Hugh McCluggage (RFA) Ben King Aaron Naughton Tom Stewart (RFA) Sean Darcy (RFA) Tim English (RFA)

Interesting, roos might not get pick 3 after all.

I'd be all in but not sure how we get it done.

Jack Carroll has averaged 24 touches at VFL level and can't crack the blues team. We liked him in his draft year. Contracted for next year but may want to move for opportunities. Smooth moving half-back/winger but seems to have been played forward when given his limited afl games.

Have to agree. And for his supposed lack of opportunities he has still played 65 out of the last 74 games.

So projecting forward our changes look like... Out: Grundy, Hibberd, Dunstan, Jordon - D. Smith (r) In: McAdam D. Turner to be elevated to the senior list. Decision yet to be made on Melksham. That currently leaves 2 senior spots and 2 rookie spots pending further player movement and assuming we keep the same balance of senior to rookie players (36 and 6).

I get where you're coming from, but Watson would be better than all our undersized forwards bar kozzie. Caddy is undersized and probably won't impact for a number of years. We've already spent our last 2 first round picks on JvR and Jefferson as tall marking prospects. For mine, if Duursma is off the table we should look at one of Watson/McKercher and if we can move up our 2nd pick, look at O'Sullivan/Murphy

It would be equally a depth decision as well. Next year we can't rely on any of BBB and T-mac and wouldn't expect any games from Adams, Jefferson, Verall and KFW. At the moment that leaves May, Lever, Petty, JvR as our best 22 KPP with hope that Turner will establish himself. Injury to any one of those seriously jeopardises our structure. Keeping Schache and Tomlinson in that context is actually a no brainer unless we bring in some ready made key position depth.

Sensible give our lack of ready to play key position players.

If Adelaide were actually serious about Petty they would be offering their pick 9 with McAdam and to suck Goodwins toes on a weekly basis.

A mate of mine is a saints man and says he's an absolute liability with ball in hand. Haven't seen enough of him myself but I trust his judgement of players in general.

Looks like half of the Giants fans are family and crows supporters. Fair few empty seats that I saw in the stadium. I wonder if Kane will be disappointed in the crowd size.

Our first four picks are locked in prior to the trade/fa period and any potential North compensation. We have: 5, 13, 24 and 32

Contracted until 2025 so no way we let him go. Would just about close our flag window unless we found a suitable quality tall replacement, of which there are none.

One of Pies, Lions, Power, Blues and Giants will win the flag. Gross. Go Giants?

A fit forward line.

Sadly, it's pick 14

Tom Morris

3 dees to about 20 carlton on my train

They can have tomlinson. Kidding themselves with Petty.

Wouldn't be surpsied to see Schache as the sub

Dylan Stephens has officially requested a trade, allegedly linked with North.

Same, my saints mate thinks he [censored] himself when he has it and turns it over

You can add Howe to collingwoods list as well. At least for us dees fans.
