This should definitely be your new profile pic.

Eggit: I note it actually is your new profile pic.

I gotta say: him?

I'd be looking at Tom Phillips as a DFA/rookie list spot (subject to medical, considering his year this year).
Had a very good 2018 (played in a GF side, 4th for total kick in the competition) and 2019, and a decent 2021. Delisted by Hawks. Can run, elite outside runner so covers ground well.

You've been a fan for a while; you were keen on him when it became apparent he was on the move from Collingwood.

Why couldn't he get a regular gig at the Hawks? What is holding him back?

Speaking of new profile pics I must say I am seeing a strong resemblance between myself and my new profile pic..

Isn't Andrew Wills the flying egg?

I'd rather keep Hunter - Phillips' hurt factor is poor, he isn't quick or strong overhead and it's debatable if he still has that running power.

What happened to him? He was a serious good player in that GF. His got a tank, looked like he could mark and not bad kick. We really need to find an Ed Langdon type player

Is Blake ACres worth looking at?

[Rocco Jones]

Her?

Love it.

Probably but if it's Jones, Lobb and Rowe coming in that probably is close to the extent of what we would do.

Future first rounder might be 14 to 18, who knows. Pick 8 with Port this year is more jucier.

Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

Aside from the Dunkley situation if all we do is recruit Jones, Lobb and Rowe and gift further contracts to a host of average only players including Cordy and McComb I look forward to us finishing 10th in 2023.

Especially if the sub par play significant number of games. I’m waiting to see what magic Power and also our chief recruiter can weave. Plus what coach assistants we bring in. Go Dogs.

So Melbourne have the best tap ruckman in the game, and rightly or wrongly they are aggressively chasing possibly the 2nd best tap ruckman in the game. They won a flag 12 months ago, not 6 years ago.

Richmond, rightly or wrongly, are aggressively chasing midfield bulls to bolster an area of clear deficiency. They have won 3 flags since we won ours.

I hope we are similarly doing everything possible to aggressively improve our list balance and depth quality while we have a core group of elite talent.

I think it's misguided to think the only way the team can improve is through trading. Yes it's the most immediate way to add talent to the list but we've seen plenty of circumstances where that hasn't helped (Essendon, for a long time Carlton, Hawks post 2016) and plenty of examples where teams have improved despite trading out players or having senior figures retire. I think of Port's campaign after drafting the likes of Rozee and Butters instead of trading like they had been doing (Motlop, Watts etc)

Sometimes the talent is there and there are just other changes that need to happen in the background that are less obvious to us.I'd love to see us bring in an A grade or B+ key defender but we should still be expecting a better standard from this group of players next year even if we don't manage that IMO.

[Bullies]

After watching Lobbe tonight surely we have seen enough of him over the years to see he is no good.
