Was going to post the same thing. Spot on.

Thirded.

Hargs is a gun backman, but his disposal can let him down.. we have a playing group that succumbs to referred pressure more than most.

Guys, any more posts off topic will be deleted without exception.
I'm not sure what is driving some of this behavior but I expect better.

Getting some maturity back to the discussion. It seems most think we should try and go after Faulks, but with GC having first dibs on him and a likely focus on state league players from all clubs, what do we think we'll need to do to secure him?

If the rumours are true and we are looking at trading a player to the GC will we demand a pick plus Faulks, do we think we can get him in the rookie draft, or will we need to take him in the national draft?

If we trade a player to GC, I would much rather we draft a player that addresses our weakenesses ie Krakouer. Or alternatively pick up a draft pick.
Faulks is more of a top up to the list if Hargrave gets injured therefore I would not seek to get him as part of a trade.

My opinion of him is that he will last to the rookie draft. From what I've seen of him he looks to be a good stopper, but doesn't seem to get enough of the ball. Doesn't look like he will be able to play on the big forwards either.

I was a big wrap for Silvagni last year who went as a late rookie pick, I'd imagine he would go around here. Many regular watchers rate him as high as a second or third rounder though, but this is just my opinion on the 5 games I've seen of him.

Stats don't confirm this and because he bombs away a few times a game, Bulldog supporters have a go at him and every yaer ask we trade him.

I agree he should be better than 76% efficiency, but then again the AFL average is 74%. I would like to see him above 85%.

Did anyone see Isaac Smith in the VFL grand final?? 190cm winger with pace and a good kick. Only 21 and could be worth a punt in the rookie draft??

Faulks for me out of the Willy boys.... German seems to love him too, helpful relationship with the development coach!

Smith will be long gone before the rookie draft, played extremely well towards the end of the season after playing local footy in Ballarat.

Suprised that Little was not prelisted as a Suns player. Doggies could have done a deal if they were interested.
Did his Grand Final performance do him any harm?
Will he be picked up as a rookie? I am sure he will be picked up at some stage.
