and I think is still evolving.įor us now there is no fsons on the horizon. There is no doubt that what works has changed.

I also think that if you manage to snag a bargain some where it can change your collateral. Finding Stewart might be repeatable.but Blitz seems almost a freak outcome. just how much have we had luck play a role. Does it work without the luck of a 2x B&F Rookie B player. possibly the best player in the comp wanting to come to us. We have already seen Clark go.ĭoes this current period work without the remainder of that previous era in Hawk and Joel. and we had players like Enright and Corey stay.who knows how that goes in this era. has it worked for them? I look back at who we drafted.

Going a two year double down with a 'all in' draft approach work without having the father sons that we had thru that period? No club could have better draft hand given Gold Coast and GWS. Im still not 100% convinced anything we have done in the past is repeatable in 2024 going forward That's over 2/3rds of our list, and shows the dramatic shift that our list has undergone in recent years. So with our remaining players who have played at least 1 AFL game, and who will remain in 2025, 19 out of our Best 26 are currently 26 and under. Or in on field form (bolded and underlined for players 26 or under): Atkins, Cameron, Stewart, Blics and Bews, and that's our side from 2025 onwards. We have on our list 26 or below, who have played at least one AFL game - drafted/traded in/SSP, since 2016:Īdd in Kolo, C. Yeah it's a bit of a furphy this whole 'topping up thing' - in recent years at least.

Land before time ducky yep yep yep
