I agree we have to keep on thinking about forward targets. McDonald and Weid aren’t enough. We will need another tall. Riccardi would suit as a 50ish draft pick. Young Emerson Jeka (great name) from Western Jets is one to watch. Saw him play v Casey Demons this year and whilst he only got it a few times, he presented as a strong agile key forward.

Agree

Chargers will be hard to beat. Two absolute guns and Bianco is a top 25 chance. Also Macrae and Ugle-Hagen as youngsters that are highly rated in 2020 draft class.

Excellent post and good comparison. Plenty of haters wanted Howe gone after one indifferent year. He has been a star at magpie land

Yes pick 5. Rowell Anderson Ash and Young are top 4. Brodie Kemp is the smoky. Could be best of the batch but knee injury killed his year after starring at the champs.

And he shut down big forwards that usually kill us. Walker, Hawkins, Brown, Franklin, Kennedy. We would be MAD to let him go. Sign him up now.

The Lyon King should be seen and not heard

This is like reminiscing about the ex girlfriend. Let it go. Jack wants to move on. MFC needs to move on

Probably look to trade Stretch back to Adelaide. Anyone of interest in return? Riley Knight - small forward. Paul Seedsman - midfield runner.

And ditto

We have agreement. It’s a definite noooooooo

Should go to the Suns. Decent player but at 30, his best is behind him.

Some guys are so talented that you can overlook some off field worries. Like Dustin Martin and Toby Greene. Sam Murray would be a worry. Alas it’s a No.

Nooooooooooooo way he is soft and plays for free kicks.

after they beat us up every time for about 8-9 years, I’d hardly start to think about bragging rights

Toby Greene not getting 4 weeks for eye gouging shows AFL bias towards their “children” clubs. Suns are almost definitely going to get a priority pick. It’s where that is up for debate. Either before any other pick (the new pick 1) or after pick 10 (new pick 11) or end of 1st round (new pick 19). They probably need to somehow retain their existing kids and not just a draft handout.

Tim Smith retired. It’s been tough as he had signs of being very handy. Young Jake Riccardi from Werribee might be worth a look if we are worried about our key forward stocks. It’s tmcd and Weid and ... perhaps Petty (appears a natural CHB though)

Gaff and Eagles 2nd pick 32 for Dees pick 2(3) absolutely

It was purely Speculative. I think Wines will stay at Port but stranger things have happened in footy

Agreed. But not quite that excited!

Anyone onboard? Slightly amended. Speculative!!!

Gotta laugh

Frost had a great year. Size and pace is a hard asset to find in a key back. My point was that I wouldn’t want to lose Frost because we are throwing $$$$ at Tomlinson. Hope we can keep Frosty and still bring in guys like Langdon and Tomlinson.

This must be a joke. Not anywhere near Frost. Tomlinson was poor to average tonight. Would want to show something v Pies next week

Tonight he was ineffective and a bit of a lump. Probably get a closer look next week.
