This trade period just keeps on giving in the comedy stakes. The Front Bar need to do a show around it.
Forgetting best 22 for the moment, you need a list of about 30 AFL ready players to have a proper tilt at a flag. Below is list of players and games played in 2019.
Menadue, Butler, Kmac all made contributions during the year playing a total of 29 games as depth coverage. With Ellis leaving, that is an additonal 23 games played.
Houli is one other player that may not play close to 20 games in 2020 if he starts suffering soft tissue injuries.
Higgins recovery is problematic.
Rance and Pickett are two obvious replacements that should feature in 2020, along with increased game time to Ross and Stack. Hopefully Balta will continue to improve. CCJ will play a few games. So might Egg and RCD, but I doubt no more than 5 games individually.
Replacing Ellis, I think we need both Kmac and Menadue on the list. One of them to stake their claim as best 22. I dont see Naish or Turner being ready yet.
Daddy Long Legs on the gear......sounds about right.Just read that Essendon have enquired about Mason Cox.
10 years ago we'd be the club that goes after a tall who who has one good game up forward against us. Thankfully those times have past.Just read that Essendon have enquired about Mason Cox.
Looks like West Coast are putting all their chips in the middle by selling the farm to get Kelly.
They would want to win a premiership with him.

Kelly deal done
WC get Kelly and 2 x third rd picks
Geel get 2 x first rd and 2 x second rd picks

jeez, would that be a trade price record?
quite extraordinary given WC watched him run around under their noses for 5 years
I reckon the Cats have been shafted. Surely they wanted a top ten pick. Unless they're going full rebuild. Maybe they are.
12 months late.In the end Geelong did the right thing, they have to get credit for that.

reckon the cats have done well. Good player but not worth what WC paid for him.Oscar Allen kind of needs to be a super star now. picked at Pick 21 instead of Kelly.
