He isn't exactly in career best form now in an average team so not sure how he will get better over the next few years. Who Dangerfield? He is in amazing form this year and practically keeping Adelaide in games by himself! In the past 6 weeks he has been near on unstoppable and probably one of best...

My interest in the draft has really ramped up over the past month and I've had the opportunity to see a number of u18 games. If anyone's interested I'll spend a bit of time over the weekend compiling some info on the best players and perhaps a top 20-30 list. Look forward to discussing it with you ...

Exceeded. The club. Also Lonie. No one could have expected a pick 37 midget to come in and have such an impact. Older player is obviously Armo. As expected. I would say Billings. Gradual improvemen Treading water. Delaney. If anything gone backwards. Gone Backwards. White obviously. Wright. Lones i...

Top 25 will still be quite good if you factor in the academy boys. Yes it's weak/shallow, but the top crop as still as good as any other year - some say the best mids are meant to be better than last years, especially Darcy Parish who we rate very very highly. After the top 25 things go a bit pear s...

Very lucky, what about Seb?

I've seen Selwood do that plenty of times to a tagger, however, I'd say we might not see him again before our bye

I watched him on the weekend and he did nothing to suggest he would go any high than a third, even in a shallow draft. If a club bids on him, or if Carlton take him higher than that I wouldn't necccessarily be shattered. We need another half back flanker like a hole in the head, and he certainly did...

There is no doubting he has his contacts, he loves the drama of it all but of course, not everything will actually pan out as so much water would be to go under the bridge between now and October. I actually don't mind hearing about the rumours, he isn't as well connected as Tony74, but he still has...

It still gets bacl to him being contracted...so we could only get him if we gace up a lot....and we do not a havea lot that we can give up!!!!!!!!! Soa FA will be much better for us. Much better. Tend to agree. We'd want Danger compo for our first, top 3 is way too much to give up. For sure, FA is ...

This doesn't convince me he's staying in Adelaide: "I'm still talking to the footy club, there's just been this whole media circus around it … I haven't entertained other ideas yet, there's obviously stuff you think about when you're an out-of-contract player and that's the stuff you've got to...

Writing is on the wall I fear. Bruce, Paddy, Lee, Membrey, Hickey all ahead of him. Yesterday running through a playing in a marking contest was one of the few times I've seen him have a fair dinkim dip. Gets by on doing some flashy things and I don't think he will make it. If someone wants to trade...

Elevated rookie in round 1, means he gets a three game rest - he has probably exceeded even his own expectations anyway so far so a run in the twos won't kill the kid. Well done on a great start to a hopefully successful career though

Shiel will be 23, Sloane will be 26, that's not four years, just for accuracies sake. Good point. Doesn't change my opinion especially as I think Shiel is a better player anyway with even more upside. Agree that Shiel is probably the better prospect due to age and potential improvement especially a...

Too much of a brass band, I'm suspicious Where is Sloanes' "stick-to-it-ness" and loyalty to a club that has spent hundreds of thousands of him? These guys who go running home to mummy or girlfriends when still young worry me. Doesn't show great character or willingness to see something t...

If someone as good as Sloane wants to come to us, of course we'd take him. Crazy that some of us wouldn't want to bring in the absolute a grade mids that we need. We have a great list management team in place, Bains is a gun and pretty sure he overseas player contracts. We have a war chest, so why w...

Old Mate, you are on the money my friend! I hope we find a way to keep our first pick, I only want to give up our first pick if we get two guns eg Shiel and Sloane for our first two picks. This will be the first draft since Luke Ball pick 2 that we would be drafting a genuine 100% already gun midfi...

Acres for Savage if he doesn't recover, otherwise no change and Blake is unlucky again

I'll start worrying about Paddy in 2020 if he isn't yet kicking bags of 3-5 a game. Until then, give yourself an uppercut if you have concerns over a first year key position player not performing!!

Haha, that photo... Crippa and Sippa look like they should be making an Australian version of Dumb and Dumber

Love the kid and I know Trout does too. But surely pick one or two goes on a Darcy and not a defender.

Tongue in cheek bro, relax

What happened to this tony?

Either the Saints now have their mole (doubt it), Joey pulled up sore, or he is having a run with Sandy.
