Hall mark of the Tigers side is the forward half speed and pressure, and we don't really have much of that. we've got 3 pretty handy medium forwards in Fritsch, Track and Melk.. Tommy who's good but needs support, Weideman who needs to step up and probably one position open for a small forward if we can find one.

Personally i think Lachie Ash, but the smokey i'd consider is Flanders who i think is going to be very good player. young also ticks a lot of boxes. it's really him or Ash for me.

I still think we lack a chase, tackle key forward, with speed. Elliot is a dangerous player but someone like a Dan Butler to compliment him would be handy.

Depends on the team, Rowell is a safer option, but Anderson i think is more talanted. sadly Suns get both.

Was always going to happen.

I think he could potentially become our Tom Lynch (Crows) and link up the ground and kick the ball inside 50. could help our inside 50's quite a lot

I think given the profile of our list we are probably in a good position to wait as well, teams like the Suns are probably relying a little bit more on draftees to make a big impact quickly

I think if not for his injury he'd probably be a top 6 pick, and with that in mind i think we should seriously consider him if we do decide to split the pick

I am going to be in the minority here and say we made some massive mistakes in our 2019 pre season, injuries hurt us badly, and as a result the tougher fixture became even tougher. if we can correct those mistakes, get a finals game plan up and running again, keep our good players on the park for full pre season, with the benefit of a good fixture i think we can play finals in 2020.

Surely.. we are better off backing Sam Weideman in than chasing JJ He's a million years old and doesn't even play as a key forward. at least Weid has some talent and a future at the level if he can put it together.

All the best Trenners, fantastic bloke and such a shame it's ended this way fingers crossed the Suns give him one last crack

Like i said, i'm not for this, but this club is not ruthless like a Hawthorn, and i suspect that's why we haven't won a flag in a million years. we should look at every single opportunity to gain an advantage at the trade table.

The Suns were pushing the narrative that being granted PP2 would allow them to draft Rowell and Anderson together and help reduce the potential retention issues they'd otherwise have, which makes sense. with that in mind i think it's foolish that they could even be considering pick 2 for Brad Crouch. I really think the AFL needs to offer them pick 10 and allow them to get crouch, clearly the retention help is not as much of a priority as they claim.

I'm personally not in favour of this but will float it anyway.. could we potentially shop Nev around as part of the deal to get Langdon and hang on to pick 20? I personally think Nev will bounce back and have a strong year, but if we feel he's on the way down, pick 20 might be pretty handy to hang onto.

I've been thinking about this one a bit and he'd be very handy rotating from wing to high half forward, his height makes him a serious threat, playing on guys like Gaff if they aren't accountable he could become a serious offensive weapon drifting forward.

He's got great training standards, and seems like a wonderful young man but just doesn't quite seem to be an AFL level player. he's a very good VFL player at this stage. if you as an outside mid can't break into a side with no outside mids consistently you're maybe just not quite up to it.

I think if we go to the draft with pick 3 i'd be drafting Lachie Ash, assuming Anderson is gone.

Depends on price doesn't it? if the question is would i rather Masten or Wagner or ANB in the side i think it's a pretty easy answer if we get him as a DFA and no huge $$

Saints are gunna get shafted here and cough up pick 5 for him.

Just saw on the news that we've shown interest in Weightman as high as 2/3 potentially so if the club realistically thinks he might be there at pick 11 i think we'll do the split. because they'd get a bloke they wanted and another free hit at the draft, plus probably something else from the Giants as well.

I think Langdon will play further up the ground so that won't be a factor. but i think we desperately need on field leadership and experience and Laird can provide that and is a proven performer for right now. Keith i quite like as a player personally and would rate him ahead of Sam Frost. Frost does some special things but his fundementals of footy aren't brilliant.

I'd still take King over Anderson, just, gotta go with the key forward.

I think they'd be much better off addressing the problems they have before they make a stand. King imo is going to leave this year, or next year, and with pick 3 on the table they might as well get max value and hope the off field changes enable them to keep their top 3 picks

you're probably right, i just think it's foolish on their part.

have heard the crows already have a good idea of who they want, they saw this coming and it's already down to 2-3 coaches. and Goody is not one of them.
