If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Swings and roundabouts.
This is just the flip side of the Biggs deal.
Next time a decent but unproven prospect wants to come to our club I'm sure we'll all be happy with our traders again.

We needed to make a minimum 3 changes to the list, so Hrovat and Stevens were likely delistings in any event. We are being good corporate citizens for players that represented our colours - pay it forward and we'll get the rewards at a later stage on the way back.

And the Cloke deal. No one is giving up anything decent for blokes that are on the fringe.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: Hrovat Draft Compo Watch - Round by Round
Round 9
Dogs get given Pick 40
Roos get given Pick 48
(8 pick upgrade for Hrovat)
It's also about 130 extra draft points. For example, hypothetically say we had pick (12) 30 & 40 and had a trading partner for points, that would about 1058 points the same as pick 16. The most likely to need for an academy player might be Brisbane, who have 19.
So those extra points in this swap could help net 19. Then with 12 & 19 on a trade mission.

Why is it when we send injury prone players to North they are no longer injury prone.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: Hrovat Draft Compo Watch - Round by Round
Hrovat having nine tackles was a pretty good effort today, on top of a reasonable disposal game for a high half forward.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

He's a good player. If he hadn't kept getting injured just as he started to play good footy then he would have played a lot more senior games with us and probably not have gone anywhere.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Not sure we gave him all the opportunity in the world, though.
He did have some injuries, but we also elected not to play him. He was dropped in 2015 after a 16 or 18 possession/1 goal game v Brisbane and didn't get a look in until very late, then got injured. He played most of last year but only had a handful of games in the seniors, subsequently being dropped for finals.
His good form looks like the result of playing games at the top level IMO.
Personally, I wish we kept him, but understand why he left.

Re: Hrovat Draft Compo Watch - Round by Round
I've got no qualms at all with moving him on. Just proves the lack of depth at NM that he's doing ok there, where he'd always be a 25-30 guy for us.

Re: Hrovat Draft Compo Watch - Round by Round
Keep in mind byes will move this around over the next few weeks, but Round 10:
Dogs: Get Pick 42
Roos: Get Pick 50 or 51 (depending on GWS vs WCE result)
It's hovering around an 8 pick upgrade now.

Re: Hrovat Draft Compo Watch - Round by Round
I liked Hrovat...and still do...but I think we would struggle to play him, Daniel and Dahlhaus in the same team.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Agree. You could probably add Maclean as well. With Murphy Jong and Wallis all missing our GF win it means that Hrovat and Kobi Stevens would not be in our best 25. They will both benefit from more opportunities at North and the Saints.

I was thinking more of their height. McLean is a different type of player.
