2020 Player movement

If Simpson can play wing then great, but I didn't think he has been playing there for the cats? Seems to be playing high half forward now (close to wing I guess).

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Simpson doesn't inspire me to be honest.

He's not that quick. Not super skilled.

I do like his clean ball handling and ability to find the ball, looks to make good decisions too, but is he really that much of a difference to somebody like Lipinski?

[Mitcha]

Well - he is fast, takes the game on, is clean below his knees...looks like a really good player. This is one I like...reminds me of a higher possession winning version of Vander.

Agreed, has come in at the pointy end of the season and looked very much at home. Would be an ideal outside mid to help our running capability.
Unfortunately can't see him leaving a grand final side especially with him being a father/son pick.

[Mitcha]

Also interested to see finals ghost Jeremy Cameron up and leave the Great Waste of Space. Will never forget the 2016 prelim where he, Patton and Lobb were all happy to gob off all game at Tom Boyd for daring to leave the cult and look how things have turned out. Big Tom has a premiership medallion and the other three have now all moved on with nothing to show. Hit by the Karma Bus the three of em.

Kyle Hartigan going to Hawthorn as a free agent.

Kyle Hartigan going to Hawthorn as a free agent.

Wow. Did anyone else feel those tremors? Must have been the whole competiton being shaken to its core.

Hartigan is probably pound for pound the worst player in the league. Why did the Hawks force Stratton and Frawley to retire if this was their next move?

[Bullies]

So what is the main driver for players to go to these same teams? Is it playing in front of large crowds? Money? Culture? Success? I mean why the hell is it always the same teams. I was astonished that we couldn't attract any notable players following our premiership. That surely rules out success as a driver. Even the damn Saints and Dees have better luck getting players in. North do too but they typically recruit the players noone wants a bar of.

The players have a good lifestyle living down the west coast and still only 40 minutes from Melbourne. Also don't underestimate how well this club is run by Brian Cook. He has complete the run of the place. Very rarely would you hear from their President.

they should also give Hawks one of their second rounders for taking him

Take that back! Sam Frost and Kyle Hartigan will form the most feared KPD pairing in the league!

Unless the Hawks have Jesus as a kicking coach they will be hilarious to watch next year.

Sam Frost would be the single most frustrating player to have on an AFL list. An absolute superstar until he has to make a decision or kick the ball.

[josie]

Hey Mofra-B. Gowers?

[azabob]

Port apparently chasing Aliir Aliir, despite being contracted. Should he be someone we should look at as a KPD and potential ruck support?

Big Footy rumour that we are into Sam Simpson from the Cats. Not sure what need he fills.

Pass on Allir Allir.

At least if Simpson left it would be another Father Son that left their club that Twodogs can add to his list.

This post is infuriatingly sensible Soupaman. Can't argue with any of it. AND they lost Kelly last year as well.

Still, somehow, deep down I feel 'triggered' by Lynch going to the Tigers, then Cameron going to the Cats.

Hmmmmmm..........

Console yourself with the fact that we got Tom Boyd and he was instrumental in delivering us a flag.

Once again I'll list these seven players when we lament not getting a big fish:

Wood (pick 42)
Morris (rookie)
Boyd (rookie)
JJ (rookie)
Biggs (rookie, traded in for nothing)
Hamling (DFA)
Roberts (DFA)

Guess what they represent?

Further to the point, why does it feel like everyone has collectively decided that Keath wasn't fantastic this year?
