Round 2 Christchurch match was very different last week in the rematch

We blame our Finals curse :P. That and fricken Sandilands :'( :'( :'(.

And you wish Purps, going to go the same way especially if your midfield can't carry you ;).

With all the Essendon suspensions, it presents an opportunity for its... lesser known players, doesn't it?

I'll let Hams decide by playing him against you, and depending how he goes, it'll be clear where he belongs ;)

Updated team thread.

Very interesting trade period with a shift towards youth and some big names leaving the team after so long either through trading or retirements. 13 trades in our most active trade period since 2015 (11 trades)

1. Z. Williams + B. Stretch + N15 + N70 FOR P. Ryder + N4 + N41
2. J. Westhoff + H. Greenwood + T. Golds FOR N17 + N27 + N36 + N45 + N51
3. N52 + PSD14 FOR T. Miles + R31
4. N51 FOR D. Howard
5. N88 + R31 FOR R. Palmer + J. Batchelor
6. N17 FOR N21 + L. Webb
7. R14 FOR R20 + R24
8. N45 FOR D. Minchington + J. McGrath + N63
9. J. Garlett + N34 FOR P. Seedsman + N42
10. N41 + N42 + N63 FOR R. Henderson + D. Gore + N47
11. N. Jones + T. Menzel FOR M. Kennedy + J. Schache + R. William
12. PSD32 FOR R35
13. N47 FOR B. Smedts

we still have some experience in Hodge, Priddis and Ryder to help carry the team, but lacking depth in the midfield which will be solved through the draft. With picks 4, 21, 27 and 36, we will look to get some high quality youths to help build around our current youths.

DazBurg · December 04, 2016, 12:37:54 PM

so with our 4 picks having been taken we'd like to welcome our new crop of draftees from the international draft

At pick #4
Will Brodie

QuoteThe fiercely competitive Brodie is one of the premier onballers in this year's draft. The big-bodied midfielder was a consistent, uncompromising performer in the engine rooms of both the Murray Bushrangers and Vic Country, averaging 21 possessions (10 contested) in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. Crashes packs and brings teammates into the game with well-executed handball. One of the Bushrangers' best in a losing grand final. Foot and back problems sidelined him for the NAB AFL Draft Combine.

At pick #21
Kobe Mutch

QuoteMutch stamped himself as one of the most improved players in 2016's draft pool with a consistent display at the division two under-18s national carnival, where he averaged 25 disposals across three games. The teenager's best traits are his work rate - he is an elite endurance athlete - and his ability to kick on both feet. His dual-sided skills allow him to spin out of stoppages and hit targets with a minimum of fuss, and he collects plenty of the ball.

At pick #27
Luke Ryan

QuoteThe damaging defender has come from relative obscurity after starting the VFL season in Coburg's development team. Ryan soon forced his way into the senior side and was the only mature-age player invited to the NAB AFL Draft Combine, which requires at least five nominations from League clubs. However, shoulder surgery ruled the 20-year-old out of testing. A good reader of the play and clever interceptor, Ryan took 12 marks - five contested - and had 29 touches in his senior VFL debut against Box Hill.

At pick #36
Declan Watson

QuoteThe tall key defender looked assured during the division two NAB Under-18 AFL Championships, performing shut-down roles for Queensland on the opposition's best forwards. Also averaged 15.5 possessions for the Allies in division one. The Aspley Hornets product is a very strong mark, reads the play well and throws himself into every contest. Nominated by the Brisbane Lions as an Academy selection.
