Lindsay would be good

An elite outside mid that can eventually play inside . Lethal kick

Yep , after watching that I wouldn’t be too confident at all if I was Tyler

I’d be heading to the gym and oval tomorrow but waiting a few weeks to take my top off with the lads

If we had the list spot I'd be pushing the F1 for Lindsay agenda so hard

As dynamic as anyone in this draft

It really is funny how stage managed the trade period is.

These negotiations were already done well before today. Most likely fleshed out before the trade period.

Trade Period is theatre.

Extend it out to give the talking heads enough time to generate discussion/click bait. They spin as much BS as they want. In between the ads on Trade Radio...
Then trickle feed a few minor trades.
The day before the end a controversial trade to generate discussion/clickbait.
Then create a TV event and have the majority of players movement occur during that telecast.View attachment 2144969

And people had the nerve to have a crack at me to say it's not.

It's so obvious

If we don't pick him, we'll just use #64? I wouldn't mind doing some bundling of picks instead to try and move up the order if we're not going to commit to him.

Even in a deep deaft, #64 is a whole lot of meh.

It'll move in to somewhere in the early 50's, but yeah, if we take someone else instead of Welsh you'd think we'd be using one or two of the F3's to move up

That's probably a reasonable assessment

Also - given he showed up looking like an NFL linebacker - and we are publically staying ambivalent toward him, it probably prevents an early tactical bid from someone

Because they may have to take him in a strong draft. Assuming he gets past 40 no doubt we grab him - we bought him into the fold for the whole year!

I can see a Fox footy last minute exclusive where the Stringer deal is back on and the paperwork was lodged 0.05 seconds before the deadline.

I was about a minute out!

AFL needs to change up the trade period because it is becoming laughable how all of these last minute deals miraculously happened. I’m sure we spent 8 hours a day for the last 10 days haggling with GWS over a future third round pick.

Josh Worrell has turned out ok

Josh's biggest problem according to his coaches at the Sandringham Dragons Josh Bourke and Jackson Kornberg was self belied and work ethic at U16's which he straighten out as an underager and a top ager when he decided he wanted to be drafted.

So not really like Tyler Welsh at all who has gone the other way it appears, over confident if anything.

His first couple of pre season with us don’t say that

Jack is this year , super longshot to be drafted at all

Might be one we target through the new SANFL rules re the Crows ans Powa?

Zero chance of getting drafted IMO especially this draft.

I suspect that's the plan.

The word was we were super worried about him last year and that's why we got him into the club a year early.

If he hasn't got the message by now.....

18 year old who probably was able to get by on pure talent since he was a kid and now he's reaching that stage where that's just not enough anymore. Wont be the first or last kid it happens to, so bring him in and hope he gets it once he's in that environment full-time.
