List changes who do we cut, trade or go after.
Today makes me more determined than ever to delist Spargo and Oscar McDonald. They would be absolute liabilities. To win the big one, you need pace, toughness and skill. They would not stand up.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ADAM TOMLINSON
Wow. Tomlinson is really slow. Three bad turnovers. Not sure he is worth the $$$$s

Grand Final memories
I remember 1988 and 2000 Grand Finals. Full of hope. The day was exhausting. The week was so anxious but exciting. Both games were good days BUT tragic events. We were smacked by two great teams. Games were over at half time. We were rock bottom again. Dreams shattered. One day. One day I hope to get the exhilaration of a Grand Final victory.

Casey Best & Fairest 2019
Munro was a gun. Top year. Tom Freeman. Developing into a very good player. Look at him for 2020 rookie imo.
-
Trengove delisted
Jack needs to stay in Adelaide and return to his club Sturt. Can star at SANFL for a few years. Absolutely a quality young man.

Quick to get rid of Frost with no replacement. Keilty was delisted. Tim Smith retired. Astute list management??
-
Andrew Gaff
Get Gaff is for 2020.
-
Brodie Kemp (drafted by Carlton)
I definitely had Kemp only behind Anderson and Rowell. I will not be disappointed and we keep pick 3 and choose Kemp. Reminded me of Dangerfield. Though have to consider him missing most of 2020. Could we wait. Yes. He is not good. He is very very good.

Suns interest in Stretch. He’d get more opportunities on the GC.
-
Billy Stretch
Have to agree. He is a great young bloke to talk to and seems very popular around the club. Goodwin has not advanced him since Roos left. But he hasn’t somehow been told to run run run and take the game on. He stops and waits. Hope he finds a place. Too good to simply delist. Trade to Suns for pick 50ish (start of round 4) is probably fair.

Be patient DD.

The Christopher Woods Thread
As a 16 year old. Settle small DD36. He is not a 30 possession midfield type. Kid is the opportunity type forward and type we lack. Watch him in around August next year before you get negative.

Wait until KOBI GEORGE in 2020 draft. Saw him at the Stingrays in round 16 and he looked like a good mover. Still skinny but had the Micky-O style

New draftees won’t help. I disagree. If we hold pick 2 - Rowell or Anderson are ready to go in 2020. Straight into our best 22. If Gcs get priority and we hold pick 3 - Lachlan Ash is ready to go on a wing or half back. I agree in getting Langdon and some free agents, but don’t discount draftee making an impact.

Farewell Sam Frost
Omcd. Gets beaten man on man. Slow. Poor decision maker. Most reliable kick ? I’m must have been watching another player. Though he is good at 15 metre mini chips that only add to slow down play.

Outs. Lewis TSmith Maynard (retired). Garlett Keilty delisted. Walker cat B retired Unknowns Frost out of contract. Not looking good. Hope he stays. JKH - definitely trade opportunity or delist; perhaps Freo could deal in as part of Langdon trade Stretch - definitely trade opportunity or delist ; Crows would be best option imo likely to be 5-6 spots available trade/free agency 2-3 brought in National draft - 3 youngsters brought in not sure we took the chance to reload

Casey should be strong in 2020

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ED LANGDON
Agree. Langdon has pace. Tomlinson has no pace. Was staggered by the comment.
-
Farewell Sam Frost
Sam Frost was #1 rookie pick. Overlooked at draft because he was injured during the draft year. Its a joke that we need more pace but would give up probably our fastest player. He shutdown Key forwards all year. Did you see round 23? Destroyed Ben Brown.

NAB LEAGUE FINALS
Trent Bianco looked good again. Great skills. Good be a steal in the draft at around 25-30.
-
WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ADAM TOMLINSON
Had good work rate and battles on. Solid versatile type. But missed the shot and had a few turnovers. Best position?? Mobile ruck???? Backup ruck??? CHB ?? Wing - no way !!!!!! Better than Frosty. Not on watching him in the last 2 weeks.
