I can big improvements coming from Essendon and Melbourne. I feel both can make the 8.

Adelaide will be up there again. Really they have lost a small forward, intercept defender and gained a top midfielder in his prime.

I feel we will drop away and lool at a rebuild. Not sure about Port. Depth to be there issue.

I've been a knocker of Melbourne's leaders for some time. Jones, Viney, Vince and now Lewis can lose focus in tough, tight matches and go the body and forget about the ball. If these 4 can straighten up their attack onto the ball more often than not then they'll play finals, if they stick to their physical approach they might miss again.
PAFC. Forever.

Essendon will have a tougher draw than Melbourne, I think Melbourne loom as a serious threat.

Adelaide also lost a running defender for 2018 which will have a big impact. Not sure who will do his role...

Seems to be the logical replacements. Hampton maybe but not sure on him.

Reckon that’s why we got gibson too. If he is playing well then Gibbs could potentially go tonhald back.

I reckon you'll use Gibson as a tagger and free up knight a bit more. I think Pyke will want to free up blokes with a bit of pace with Cameron gone.

Seedsmen probably looks like the first option for that spot.

Dal Santo, Waite, Higgins...yeah we have never attracted anyone :lol:

After Dusty and Kelly, who did you want us to target?

We are gonna tank for the fifth year in a row and trade our top 5 draft pick for GC's Tom Lynch.


Free agent isn;t he?

Would you move your family interstate for a job if you didnt have a contract signed and in place?


Happened plenty of times with players training with clubs prior to drafts.
