Hadn't realised there was an accompanying TV event. I think your comment is no doubt correct. What a joke.But then again these same guys were responsible for AFLX 2019 !!! So other than our pick 3 the MFC trades were not considered TV worthy?

Bring Jack home It's only fair

Freo have offered him a 3 year deal. They are desperate and Pies are lucky

Interesting that our internal demonland ratings ranked him at 8 whereas in the Bluey he was ninth. Are we good...................

nor do I but like North they seem to have the wood on us.

Many thanks Andy. Over the years I have found that for a lesser team such as ours you get more insight from this forum than you could possibly hope for from either the mass media or the club itself. Such a wonderful resource. That vote tells me that on more than one occasion we thought him in our top 6 at least so the season was not a complete loss for Hibberd.

Both he and Gawn could be so more damaging. They are generational players. Up to the coaching staff to maximise their impact. In the back half of the year I would have liked to see Oliver being played as an outside mid simply to improve his kicking and awareness. The game results were irrelevant and most were losses anyway so not sure why there was not more thinking towards 2020.

The gameplan adopted by Goodwin does not favour aging players no matter what their skill level may be. The only positive is that the form drop off in 2019 was so precipitous that it may have been one of those aberrations we talk about. Not sure we have the players to cover him and could explain why we kept Josh Wagner on the list. PS: these reviews would be fascinating if the players performance could also be correlated with Joeboy's great weekly player commentary and of course our own Demonland rankings. For instance did Hibberd ever feature in our top 6 players in any match etc.

Someone will take him in the PSD. Not us as we already have our own injury trio in AVB, KK and J Smith. Murray on the other hand could be worth a look but at it's simplest he sounds like another Hunt (fast and eratic) and that isn't looking good. Happy to leave that decision to our wonderful football department.

Could have taken us apart single handed in that 2018 final if he'd kicked straight but I do agree his 2019 season wasn't that great. If the price and contract term(2 years at most) were right we'd have to think very hard though.

5 and 9 for 3... Would you also be interested in a second hand set of jousting sticks?

Someone posted on this recently. Not sure that with the rules re academy players etc that the draft impact is that great. Sure it's an impact but nowhere near as compromised as when GWS and GCS were raiding the player lists.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz are we there yet mum???????

As an aside whatever happened with the South Australian guns from the 2018 draft that the SA clubs said they would poach in 2020? Did they end up being drafted to SA or are they waiting to come home next year? Thanks

and how do you better the inevitable offer from North of X million a year for life !!

Sorry Binman but the "we have a stable board" reminds me of some comedy line but I can't quite put my finger on it.

According to Mahoney Preuss' name had been mentioned but no details. I assume we would not stand in his way of getting a position as first ruck if it was offered. (Not saying it was,)

Have you ever considered a role in real estate?

Looking forward to the gameplan discussion on the main board over the quiet of the summer months.

Buddy's done for. Maybe good for 40 goals if he could get on the park and had good delivery. At best that would happen for 2020. More likely 12 games and 10-20 goals. His one remaining weapon is his ability to kick a goal from 55. Sad because he is a great player and if it wasn't for that ridiculous contract the Swans have he would have retired and assumed his place among the media in 2020.

nope...it would be like bringing back Mark Jackson.... a real circus and we would end up a laughing stock

Must have missed it though I did go to 3 or 4 Casey games in the second half of the season. 11goals for a season where he played 21 games... nothing wonderful. Not saying it didn't happen but "incredible"smacks of hyperbole. Good luck next year

O no.... please tell me we are getting a decent gameplan and not the failed crash and bang of the last few years

Thanks....I thought the same thing but as I had never herd the term before it interested me. Would also be useful if they listed things like left or right footed and my favourite.... can kick both feet and turn both ways.

I am the first to admit that I'm against splitting the pick but after having a look at the positions played by the top 15 picks in the Power rankings I am coming around to it. I assume we are in desperate need of an outside mid. Other than the touted pick1the next player described as an outside mid is Trent Bianco who is ranked 14. (Sounds okay but might be too short at 178cm given the number of small players we have at Casey presently) By the way what in the hell is a "balanced midfielder" as I notice there's a couple of those
