Exactly my thought and why I’m WRAPPED with this pick!!! Dees only club who showed real interest after he was a top-up player in tune up session for top draft talent — Taylor is a master. They loved the drive in his legs and skills below his feet then when saw highlights they were apparently that excited they couldn’t contain themselves. Planned to have him train in preseason but took him instead in RD to show faith. One to watch 100% highlights look sensational — literally a JAKO clone bit of Cuthbertson maybe too

Word is that it’s for either of him or the Pou, yep! We wanted a top 6 believing (through own mock draft I presume, which would be likely 90% accurate) that one will be available at pick 6. Surprised as heck no one bit tbh… possible still one may come to party and are just posturing right now, for me — I’d of thought Hawks wanna load up next year but our picks are likely 12-18 so not exactly Uber attractive HOWEVER — next year draft depth is massive and picks 16-22 are like pick 6-10 this year in many people’s view!

AFL store has them. Grabbed one yest

Dropping eyes and faster transition where player runs from middle after vacuum created by fwds leading — exactly what we weren’t getting again Friday night due to perceived pressure and reluctance to take the risk and lower eyes Plus none of our better kicks getting enough ball through middle for final kick (Spargo, Brayshaw, Trac, Salem) instead it was left to others who’s predication is to kick longer (hunt, clarry, Viney, Sparrow, Ed) all this can be eradicated quickly and few straight kicks would’ve allowed perceived pressure to drop and the flow-on effect would’ve been dramatic!!! Scoreboard pressure was our final insurmountable enemy.

It’s not the strategy that’s issue it was simply our execution. Basic skill error u der more perceived pressure than actual pressure. This meant none of the easier faster transition goals came off ie that diabolical run in final Qtr where Spargo Melksham nuffed it. Salem was incredibly quiet and Melksham missed several getable chances whereby swabs took theirs. Simples

A poignant piece w/opinion Dees must prioritise GUS and for very very good reasons indeed!

Bruhn = 75% chance a #demons23 player

Mcstay is currently our most likely target — would be fitted in without losing anything other than fringe ie Hunt, Brown Retirement & Melksham moving on. Amon will be tougher but word is we are easily his pref destination esp with Brayshaw moving to HB so watch this space — will depend on what occurs but if we somehow lose Jackson then the space is there if we keep him we will need to move on all aforementioned and likely 1 more like Baker as well.

And obviously the fact our pressure has dropped right off — this is attitudinal and will correct I’m certain of it

Many good and measured posts but this for me gots nail on head! May just affords ultimate confront and luxury and ultimately enables the zone to press higher. the other issue is our kids blasting rather than taking game on with legs from contest. It’s honestly that simple!

He was referring to Lynch asking about a big 5 year contract — nothing in it

It’s not bout fitting him in team it’s about trying it for his confidence and creating a solid depth roster! He’ll go elsewhere and be tried and dominate so it’s worth trying

Rankin is the PERFECT matchup for Smith. May gets Chol.

Can’t Blv ppl want Smith out. In: Lever, Dunstan Dunstan could be useful @coalface & with Bradshaw playing down back I think he’s a likely in given GC strengths, but a 50/50 call I’d say. Out: Salem, Bedford Sub: Bedford Spargo is on notice, coach’s fav or not I love what he does, but does Bedford not do the same as well right now? Wont be dropped, just an observation for future reference is his form dips. I’d loathe it but maybe Sparrow is in the gun. Jordan the wingman looked solid I prefer Sparrow and think he’s a lock but again, worried about him maybe being dropped if he has another quiet one. But still very unlikely! Rivers could still get up w/Lever or neither may get up.

Code?!?!

Ohhhh that’s explains it hahaha

I also meant left in actual photo right when looking at it hahaha grinder and Nicho etc weee the easy ones

Only the 3 on far right got me.. dang it lower end and last 2 standing

Got to be Fritschin kidding me? joking.. 😂😂😂 brilliant news, well deserved, could end up and all-time great as IMHHO he’s only begun scratching surface of how good he truly can be

I bloody BET they do 😂😂😂

Really going the Wifey & kiddies can come along! bloody BS we can’t get 75k Red&Bkue army swarming the G.. typical DA wankish behaviour

Great Q Im trying not to go with the obvious but the Trac goal for me was literally so emotionally charging on a day I remained so uncharacteristically subdued.. But.. actually I’m going with the “BANG.. Bang, Bang, Bang!!!” Clarry special & Sparrow Super kicks as my top = #1

Wow.. just.. WOW!!! Bobby Hill for a first Rnd pick hahahahaha YIKES guy can’t even stay fit!!!

Hell no!!! We’d never even THINK about that.. and it’s WAY overs.. pick between 25-45 is what he’ll command due to circumstances! Signing chandler and Bedford as role players is SMART! How does no one still yet understand it’s about STARS and role players to best use salary cap.. too many GOOD players on decent coin is what creates lists like Pies, Hawks Suns etc.. so it’s not as simple as saying “Hill<Bedford” unless Hill would accept Bedford type money
