I really want us to draft Cooper Hynes. Just like Lalor, a power mid-forward. Imagine getting both the Stingrays captains - Langford & Hynes...and they both support the Tiges. Come on Blair make it happen.

Why would they do that? No different to getting injured and not being able to play the GF. Outside elite level, the AFL have increased mandatory break to 21 days. I believe they'll eventually change top level too.
my point was he would've been #1 pick had the Crows not placed a bid on JUH, not a knock on his football ability
AFL won't change to 21 days because of the access players have to club doctors who can keep eye on said player because they're at the club most days.
The bye?
I've always had an issue with it being straight after the H&A season.Its should be instead between the prelim & GF to give both GF sides a week to be freshin up.More chance of being a better spectacle.Yes players have missed gfs through injury but due to concussion would be hard to take.Imagine if Dusty got concussed.
Honestly we should just take the 2 who have been consistent throughout the year.
Jagga & Langford.
I dont understand why Reid is not considered equal to the top 6 touted midfielders. His stats are as good as almost all of them (Jagga aside) and is very clean by hand and foot. He is a player that has very very good footy smarts. Puts players into space. I also hope we get him.
And he reckons Melbourne would let the bumbers into the top 10 - really - when Melbourne need an Armstrong type player as much as the bumbers…..
Broad would have missed ‘19 if he’d done what he did against the Cats in any other year.
I think it will change personally. There's already been a lot of pressure from experts claiming 12 days is not enough. 4 weeks is the recommended by a leading neurologist dealing with CTE contributed to by impact sports. The 21 days for the rest of the league is a precursor to what will eventual happen. The purpose of break before finals is to allow players to freshen up after a gruelling season (this affects 8 teams) . I can't see them them changing this to before GF and certainly not for the sake of concussions (which was your premise in your original email). Concussion is an injury. It's bruising or swelling of the brain. Hard to take, sure, just like any other injury.
I don’t know how good Dodson is but imo if he is as good as some say he is this is exactly the situation for us to grab him.
I understand not taking a ruck when you have just one or two decent picks but we are not in that position. To me the only reason not to take him is if we don’t rate him as highly as some do.
I’ve see Marshall live 3 times. An absolute gun. I’m hoping tigers bid on Ashcroft at 1 and then Marshall early also. Put Brisbane in a position where they go into quite considerable draft deficit. They may pass and I’d be stoked to get him. Elite endurance. When played midfield high possession, good skills and footy IQ. Has not been talked about because likely headed to Brisbane. Been Hidden at HB at Sandy Dragons. Would not surprise me if he turns out the top of this draft. Looks similar in style to Ashcroft, slightly taller and I think quicker. Nice mover.
I think he's just got those 2 club indicators round the wrong way, its Melbourne at 11 for Armstrong, and Kako at 12 to the Bummers.
