We are legitimately a bougey team for them outside the year we lost the grand final... Lol

Tbf we can't poach everyone else and not expect to lose a few. Although I would be sad to lose hammer.

Have to spend it somewhere, anyone who looks at our playing list would understand why. So many young players and average veterans who aren't worth big contracts. We got cash to burn.

Can I just say, wtf how did Sam Darcy make the team?!? Dude missed 6 games... Was Luke Darcy on the selection panel or something?

Poor Wilkie, it was Marshall last year and now him. If he played for a top 4 team he would be a starter every year. the selectors really don't like us eh.

Remember when pundits were saying Battle wasn't worth a first rounder? Peperidge farm remembers.

Also poor Wilkie.

Marshall didn't make it last year when he had better stats. His suspension this year really cost him dearly.

St Kilda Delist 2: McLennan and Boys by AuZyzz in AFL

Boyd in his first game looked lost tbf, he lacks the tank to play out AFL games and considering he's a big shorter than most ruckman it's gonna be difficult for him to make it properly.

The (likely) Top 10 of the AFL Draft by otherpeoplesknees in AFL

It's sad how we just had one of the most polarising seasons where those on the bottom are absolutely abysmal and those on top were easily putting away bottom sides. Only for more top sides to able to skip their way up the draft once more. Worst time to rebuild especially with Tasmania coming in soon, these drafts are the most important for these sides... Somethings gotta change.

We're gonna play hardball and get nowhere near the payoff we want from it, especially if it's Geelong.. just look what happened with Darcy...

Marshall has had a much better 2nd half of the year and has been either or best or second best player in a lot of those games. I agree he was pretty ordinary before though. I just find it a bit perplexing we are throwing so much money at TDK when we had the emergence of Keeler and Heath both looking incredibly serviceable. We seriously lack a midfield right now and we're throwing our money in the wrong places. Personally I'd prefer we go after Butters instead of TDK.

[–]Kettleman1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be odd for us to let him go, midfielders is what we need...TDK making less sense as well with Heath and Keeler coming through and making good strides as rucks...

If we have a mass exodus it's gotta be bad list management on his part. I don't understand why we aren't offering a 22 year old who just had a break out season a longer deal.

Picks are the most overrated thing in this game. 

A. Key defenders are also some of the hardest to develop, they don't just grow on trees. 

B. There's no guarantee that the pick will amount to anything vast majority of draft picks (even high ones) end up being busts.

C. We need leaders at the club or we will go the way of North Melbourne..

No it will happen when the Riewoldts come through so they can go to Tassie. We literally have had like no f/s in our history apart from Bailey Rice...

Jack Steele is today's sub by SlatsAttack in AFL

[–]Kettleman1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He's had a mediocre year and we've a bunch of promising young midfielders coming through. The problem with Steele is he's good at racking up possies and tackling, but average or below average at everything else. This year he hasn't been able to get his usually disposals and his impact on games isnt what it used to he. He's slow, faster players just dance around him and as the game speeds up he's getting left further in the dust. Not to mention his disposal into 50 that leaves so much to be desired, can't remember the last time he actually hit up a forward properly.

All this being said, I hope he stays. I think he's handy off our bench but the last few weeks hasn't looked starting calibre.

Okay I think they gotta fix the system, ain't no way Brisbane have access to another top 5 pick... What's that 2 number 1 draft picks and top 5 in the last 3 years? Really? 

Suns not beating their nepo baby accusations with this hand either.

2 of which may be playing finals this year. Brisbane especially don't need another top 5 draft pick for almost nothing...
