Well we certainly are garbage without them

What midfielder will we take in the MSD? You know it is happening ... they are the key to YZE game plan ... just like HBF for HardwickIf they stay fit, absolutely
agreeFor mine he is the best available that can have both an immediate impact and a long term view
Good young ruck is will maclaughlin team mate think his name is ??I'm hoping we go for a ruck or mid. Next season we have, Lynch, Balta, Gibcus, Lefau, Young and Miller, who form a young but pretty exciting group of talls. Fawcett is an unknown. Going for a tall key forward at this stage of the season seems a waste. They are not going to come in and solve any problem we have at the moment, and they will be superfluous next year unless they are going to replace Lynch. Very wishful thinking that any midseason draft is going to come in and play your no.1 forward.
Down the track I think we are weakest in the ruck. Naismith is out seasons end. Nank is getting on, and I have real doubts about Ryan. He can play footy but he is just to long and lanky, and will never have the strength to play against the top rucks in the league. Find a tall, strong, athletic kid, there are a few around.
Next would be a strong mid who is gunning it in the lower levels SANFL, WAFL, VFL. Anyone doing this would walk into our midfield right now.

Let's do the maths ... two games before MSD ...
Hopper = (2 to 3) - (2 games to MSD) = 0 to 1 weeks
Taranto = (3 to 4) - (2 games to MSD) = 1 to 2 weeks
Wow ... exactly what I said ... and with no player going to be drafted and played the same week ... more than likely both Taranto and Hopper will play the game after our MSD picks first week of training.
Do you need to buy a vowel?KPF + RCD in MSD
He’s a spudRCD did not see eye to eye with Dimma. I was shocked he was delisted ahead some of the others. Hope he gets another chance somewhere..
Feel for the bloke, I’ve done 4 myself and it’s just a horrible feeling and you know. Would say that’s his career over now. Any decent ruckman floating around?We're probably going to need to take a ruckman now if Naismith has indeed done a knee....
Ex Port ruckman Teakle has been talked up as a MSD target. Not sure about anyone else.Feel for the bloke, I’ve done 4 myself and it’s just a horrible feeling and you know. Would say that’s his career over now. Any decent ruckman floating around?
Maybe but TBF he played better when we had more AFL support which can be more of a pointer of his potential than whats around him today.Anyone mentioning Sam Davidson again needs to watch our VFL game today, he is unsighted.
Hard pass
We need players not supporting roles. Not worth it, can't see anyone picking him up.Maybe but TBF he played better when we had more AFL support which can be more of a pointer of his potential than whats around him today.
Do we have an update on Fawcetts back? If he won’t be back to play any VFL may as well get an experienced player in to help us outSo that's 3 ACL's, Clarke, Gibcus and now Naismith.
We have 3 spots in the upcoming MSD
Not sure if you guys are after small(ish) forwards?

Will "Don't Call Me Gil" McLachlan's name was running hot in MSD discussions after this 6 goal haul against Murray. Will plays a little like a smaller Bayley Fritsch, getting a high percentage of his scoring shots from marking on the lead into space and up to the ball carrier. He'll need to work on his defensive efforts at the next level.
