Andrews was better than 2021 last year in my view but has definitely declined.

Dunkley to FB.

then he will soon be seeking a trade to GWS to be near someone he knows.

Gardiner, Harris, Payne and Lester still gives then some coverage and maybe they can swing Fullerton back there.
They could also look at adding Ethan Phillips as insurance

I've heard his girlfriend's god parents are from Western Sydney and he's super close with them even though she's not.

Dunkley to FB.

We joke, but Ashcroft comes in, Dunkley is tall and can 'go forward', I suspect he isn't getting much more midfield time at the Lions (if any) compared to us.

Then he pushes a young gun like Victorian Lohmann out... McKenna pushes Wilmott out... they're going to lose players and we should be in the ear of anyone good already.

Their depth in KPD posts after Andrews and Payne is Darcy Gardner - and 'ok' 192cm type.

Ashcroft is too short Will Phillips mk II.

We should get a nice high pick from them.

Ummm. OK.

Phillips was drafted based on a 17yo season where he played 3rd or 4th midfield banana behind Rowell, Anderson and Williams. He then basically missed his 18yo season due to COVID.

North were going in with the Luff-driven, data-based draft decision making process. Which is fine...but of course Phillips numbers as a bottom-ager were out of whack because of the players around him...

I feel a bit sorry for Luff and North here...and ultimately I think Phillips will be fine even if he never quite lives up to pick 3 status (or whatever it was).

I prefer Wilson Phillips

It's stuck in my head now for the rest of the day, and you know what.... I'm ok with it.

I never get these things wrong MJP.

When your head to body ratio is making Brett Ebert look like he's got Microcephaly you're never going to amount to much.
Of course.....

I know that there is pain.

Why do you lock yourself up in THESE chains.....

[GVGjr]

Lions are considering a couple of players to cover for Adams.

Sadly some killjoy at the Lions has since had that headline hoiked, can't imagine why.

They really should have thought about that before making it the central theme of their membership drive.
