Don’t like Schache chances at the dees.
They’ve created a culture of eating their own. Schache will struggle
Yep. Rather than throwing handouts when clubs are really bad, they should actually get on the front foot, explain the issue, and raise the salary cap of those 2 clubs. giving the Suns easier access to their academy players wasnt a bad move, but in general giving them more picks just gives them more players to pay and to lose.
I agree. In fact I would say they have gone backwards. They've replaced a young star in Jackson with an old war horse in Grundy, Weidmann and Schache cancel out, perhaps a small gain with Hunter over Hunt. But they've only got pick 13 and 37. That's not great business
They also bought into next year's draft, I think we can only judge in 4 years & much will be dependent on the rookies the select. Pick 13 buys you a decent mid, Hollands or Hewett, maybe Jefferson slides as well.
Laughable s***.Ollie Henrys move to Geelong described as "going home" ... 73kms down the M1 ...
Agree. Did the Pussies win trade week because they got fed big meat or did they meet their needs as we and some others have?
Melbourne have the best midfield in the comp, the best ruck division & a pretty solid defensive spine. They are definitely missing a key forward, Schache doesn't solve that crisis but he might kick 30 in a season, I think the Dees might even go hard for Jefferson at the draft.
Schache is a straight replacement for Weideman. Depth and a little bit of hope that maybe he might come good. Both unfulfilled high draft picks
7 news declared Geelong won the Grand Final by 81 points and trade week by a similar margin.
They did well undoubtedly, but suggesting they dominated trade week, well that just makes me want to spew up as Terry Wallace says
Hawks clear outcome for this trade period was to secure the Number 1 pick in the 2023 draft.
It’s funny with all the criticism they are getting I actually think they’ve gone about it the right way , we’re clubs have gone wrong in the past by clearing out senior players is they just haven’t drafted good kids , we were guilty of this . As long as you don’t have 35 under 20s on the list and you have outstanding off field staff IMHO it’s the way to go , put out the trash and draft the guns
That's the most rose coloured look I've read on this thread. Howe long he been in the system? He plays the same way every time I've ever seen him at AFL level. Poor aerially and useless when the ball hits the ground. Other than that he's great. How any team could select him after everything they've seen is staggering. It's not like he didn't have an opportunity at the Bulldogs. They have been crying out for a second key forward for years. They've had a dominant midfield and a Key forward who takes most of the heat and still Schache couldn't get a consistent gig. He's simply not AFL standard. The Dees have replaced Weideman with an arguably worse player.
Tend to agree. It wasn’t a great trade period for them but I think they are building a decent list with their kids. Can they endure the pain though ?
They are a very very tight unit at the “Family Club” , look there maybe a few more members left at the pound in the next 3 or 4 years , however im sure they’ll be back………eventually.
Im not sure they are of Premiership quality , however they do appear to have potential in a few of their KPP , aggressive rucks and some decent looking young mids
