Re: Martin, Fyfe or Kelly?

There is a chance we could get 2 of those players. Not possible I believe with our expected cap space, possible increase in TPP and the new CBA will allow us to do this. may have to get Creative with the Gilbo, Roo and Joey contracts. I imagine Dempster was on semi decent coin which will come off t...

Re: Dylan Roberton All Australian

One underrated factor is the improvement of Jimmy Webster. His positioning is excellent this year and doesn't get caught out nearly as much as he used to. seems to have earnt and cemented his spot in the back 6. whereas i used to feel his spot was always up for grabs. which has flowed on to allow bl...

Re: JO'M and Freeman etc etc

Both were expected to be 10 year players. JOM coming off major knee injuries, learning a new system and playing in a currently bad side. Did they overpay with pick 10? couldnt care less, we got a better pick in return as well as Long and Battle. We got what the NBA terms as the 3 for 1. its a highly...

Re: Jack "Man of" Steele

you can see why north threw a bid on him at 14. Superman is an unreal pick up for us, bargain for a second round pick.

Re: Early draft picks -Snare and delusion.

I'm starting to get concerned with our ability to pick young talent that still has potential for growth. Let's look at all the recruits we've taken since JB, Dunstan and Acres onwards. How many are still performing like they were in their first year ? We've not seen any major improvements really. S...

Re: Early draft picks -Snare and delusion.

Fyfe and Steven would be a dangerous tandem in midfield.

Honestly though i think you either go into the draft with Two Firsts or we somehow get Whitfield AND Hopper.

Re: What is our Best Forward Structure?

honestly id go Paddy at FF and go Pagans paddock style. Bruce and Membrey as the lead up targets. then 3 smalls. I think they have to experiment with 2 Rucks. See if they can just rotate Longer and Hickey off the bench (or down forward) when Rooey is up the ground and Bruce or Paddy are on the bench.

Re: Zak Jones

please no. if hes our "big fish"or a major acquisition this Player movement period we are in some serious trouble.
considering we already have a plethora of players in his position it seems pointless.

Re: time to try Longer?

First proper AFL game hes played since 2015. Suffered concussion related issues all of last year plus the shoulder reco. thought he was very good considering our midfield were simply outclassed in the end.

Re: Who needs a rest in the 2's?

If im resting anyone i think Long and Billings are the realistic targets with Stevens and Sinclair coming in. i think roo may need a rest soon, cant kick further than 40 so hes knees arent right. Going out on a Limb here and saying Rowan "WE ARE" Marshall may deserve a crack. seems perfect...

Re: Billings and mccartin

Very happy we finally gave Billings a run off the half back line. Looked so much more comfortable and seems to be the perfect replacement for Joey in his role. I said it in an earlier thread that I wanted to see this. Just needs to work on his goal kicking and we will reap the rewards of drafting hi...

Re: Rd 4 team vs Pies

Is Billings being played out of position a little and should be higher up the ground? Hard to tell only watching on the telly but are we rushing him into the midfield/wing to quickly and better to let him excel in his regularly position most played before being recruited? Happy to be corrected if t...

I reckon he'll play senior footy this year. And everyone on here will claim how they backed the club all along. I've been buying Freeman stock since day one. I've spoken to his former trainers and I'm willing to stay on Freeman Island. Cost us basically nothing in a trade for a former top 10 pick. ...

Re: Injury update 2017

Just saw an article stating that Roo feels he'll Ben out for 6 weeks. So I'm guessing that time frame should be 4-6 weeks. Just means it's time for Big Paddy and the forward line to step up. Sneaky good chance for acres
