The calumny of the AFL's priority pick policy
Agree. The choices were scattered. I was fully behind selections of Morton Watts Scully Trengove . They were right at the time. Had extreme surprise with Gysberts Cook Tapscott Maric and even Bennell. How we missed Sloane after “promising” him is another complete BP shocker. Toumpas over Wines was ridiculous. Wines and Viney made sense Agree with Oliver over Parish. Agree with Trac and Brayshaw. Lever for 2x 1st rounders is still a strange one.

Goodys can’t help with the cliches

Keith “Bluey” Truscott Trophy 2019
Agree. Need a better attitude and to work hard in the preseason. It’s like the club was just expecting it to happen. We had a good run with a lighter draw in 2018. 2019 was always going to be tough and we should have been ready to be hunted and play more top teams.

Recreating the Tigers Premiership side with our list
Horrific. No wonder they are #1 and we are 17th. Comparisons also odd. Liam Baker. James Harmes. Wtf. Gawn and perhaps Oliver are clearly our only true winners on the comparison.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ED LANGDON
Langdon for pick 22 seems fair enough. He is ready to go run and carry and pace. Exactly what we need ASAP

The calumny of the AFL's priority pick policy
Give Suns better finals qualification chances for the next 3 years. Gift Suns automatic head start at beginning of year with 6 wins in 2020, 4 wins in 2021 and 2 wins in 2022.

I’m with LG on this one

Speed. Penetrating long kick. Exactly what we need.

List changes who do we cut, trade or go after.
Agree. Jkh is unlikely to be retained and has not taken his chances. Hard to see how he would add value in the GF. Already on my list. Though Spargo and Oscar Mcd would be on Goodys protected species list.

Casey Best & Fairest 2019
Very raw still. Not ready to step up to AFL
-
Tom Cutler
If Stretch goes, we should use the pick to get Cutler. He’s fit and fast.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ADAM TOMLINSON
Shift $$$ to Jack Newnes. Ditch this dealing with Tomlinson. Slow and ineffective.

Ben King
Dees need to nail their picks. Not just try to poach players.

The Under-17 All Stars
Some good picks for academy Lions, Swans, and Giants Competition more unbalanced than ever

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.

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.

Frosty has them covered

List changes who do we cut, trade or go after.
Quick to get rid of Frost with no replacement. Keilty was delisted. Tim Smith retired. Astute list management??
