2018 Rd 9: Post Game Calm: Carlton vs Melbourne

If they back their recruiters then I would disagree, it is the number one pick after all. I would offer it to the Swans for Hannaberry and their 2nd rounder.

Sooo, we haven't created a suitable environment yet to foster a rebuild successfully. We need more GOOD mature players, especially big mids! Go for it SOS!

SOS did well for GWS getting Callan Ward......needs to do the same for us and get a player of that ilk and age..

[ElwoodBlues1]

I wouldn't hesitate to offer the likely number one pick coming our way

I'd only trade that for Dylan Shiel........or similar...

EB, I thought Shiel was pretty much an outside mid ?

We should have learned our lesson, we paid plenty for Judd and it didn't get us past week two of the finals.
One player won't do it for us.

Last week they tackled with intensity, hunted the players.
Today they just ran behind their players all dat - is that just youth/not fit enough to back up from Last week?

What was Lang like today?

Another frustrating aspect was we could not deal with the wet yet they had no problem - is that a skill issue?

Don’t see how we will progress unless it is merely to just wait for Doch, Marchbank etc to return.  Maybe it will turn around quickly?

Until then, the players need to bust their arses!

I like Hannebery, but I would not swap him plus change for a No1 pick. He has one of those bodies that have prematurely aged because of that rugged, crash and bash style that he plays. He will carry a bigger load in our team than the Swans, which worries me tbh.

Anthony Miles needs to be our Kane Lambert. He is far too good for VFL but can’t get a look in at Richmond. Should be there for the taking.

They need to be Josh Caddy quality type castoffs though...not more Mullets, OSheas...

Hartung is suited to North who have great inside players like Cunnington, Ziebell, Jacobs, Higgins etc but who need some run on the outside......wouldnt have suited us IMO as he is a poor contester like Mullet...

Matthew Wright types will do.

Blue collar, roll the sleeves up and perform well every week without costing the world.

A bit of breakaway speed would be good too.  Is Pickett close to a return yet??

I think I read Brandon Ellis is also playing VFL, but could be wrong.
