IMO the pick swap with Port was v shrewd business and something for us to be positive about.

The most valuable players in the AFL? Gulden and Daicos leading the best crop of young guns in years

It’s an age old question (or at least as age old as there has been Australian Football) – who is the most valuable player in the league. Not just right now, but going forward into the f…

I’ll take this bloke. PAV 2023 has to be as good as PAV 2012

Even though I was pretty flat yesterday with the Schultz news, after a day's rest I'm over it.

I don't think it changes anything in the medium to long term. We're on track to be dominant.

Agree. Plenty to play out this year and I’m still bullish about the list’s capability from 2025, especially if we can bring in a couple of capable players and draft a couple of decent kids.

Love it and I 100% agree!

Amiss being just about the most skilful young player I’ve ever seen in a dockers jersey is all that’s keeping me positive right now.
I don’t believe he wasted 3 possessions all season. Playing in the hardest area of the ground too.
The most important player we have drafted since Nat Fyfe I reckon, by some distance. We need him to become generational.
As good as all our other young players are, he is out on his own as THE key piece.

Hey man, Amiss highlights are always a positive.

Keep 'em coming.

Very positive.. hopefully he’s not the next Pavlich.. in the fact that he has no support and A graders around him.

Well it seems we are going all in on getting McDonald to be his sidekick.
Not sure where that leaves Treacy though. Depth for Jackson or replacing Sturt as the medium forward?

Getting Macdonald would free up Jackson to rotate forward, ruck and more time midfield. Amiss, Jackson and Treacy are brilliant at applying defensive pressure for key position players so Treacy would still be in the team but playing on the third tall defender on a regular basis. Jackson would be rotated forward only when one of Mcdonald, Treacy or Amiss was resting on the bench so we'd rarely have all four on he ground at any time with all four in the team. The best part if we did get Mcdonald would be that Jackson could play onball more where at centre bouncedowns as a midfielder he has the potential to dominate clearances.

Nice forward setup, kick to big guy's advantage

Yep, there's also the ability for Treacy to play on ball too, as well as show a 3rd look in the ruck (he's proved more that handy last year). His field kicking is sublime too, and he always seems to mark up the field out of F50. Might have another Unicorn on our hands (or at least a horse with a bump on its head).

Good to have two less players in the team that can’t kick over 40m.

It limited Lachie kicking for goal, and Liam in general play and switching.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Good to trade when a player is contracted. If Shoota goes, he goes.

Next year (OOC) does anyone think we would get 2 picks (R1 and R2) for Shoota?

I think we would not be having a discussion at all if Taylor Adams

was happy to play High half forward for the Pies.

He wanted more midfield time, so went to Sydney.

Collingwood need a good half forward, so Shoota goes to the Pies.

We have 3 first round picks for next year.

 

[pK75]

Losing Henry and Schultz actually addresses one of our flaws this year of having too many small players in the team (particularly in the middle)
Johnson (193cm) vs Henry (181cm) is a massive upgrade.
Emmett (186cm) replaces Schultz (178cm) is a genuine medium forward.
We still have Walters, Serong, Switowski and Wagner running around, but 4 less than 181cm players is better than 6.

 

[kuhni]

19 this year was getting pushed out 5 spots to 24.
F1 next year could be anywhere from 15-18 and roughly stay there.
33 won´t move too much because of all the bid matching picks before it.

Best we could´ve got I´d say. Now we just need some Wallsy magic.

For anyone concerned about our player attrition rate, go on the Dockers website and read the article “Player commitment “largest of any club”.

It highlights the huge number of players who have committed for the long term.

It‘s a great read and given the calibre of players involved, it reinforces the notion that the Club knows what its doing.
