Lined up how?
Trade period done
Draftees rarely ready to assume key roles - esp talls for example Van Es
I am not sure a pick 60 odd will be better than Highmore even if Highmore is just a back up to Wilkie and Battle?
Ie/Adams and Connolly were late picks - weren’t even great VFL players.
Tom Highmore delisted

Re: Tom Highmore delisted
Still cant believe we didnt have a crack at Goldstein...he went for nothing to Bombers.
I heard a mate say he was done, too old...played 20 games in 2023...averaged 3 MORE hit outs per game than Rowan...and he was free...free. If we pursued him as a player for 1-2 yrs and eventually a coach as Bombers have intimated they offered... I presume he'd be a Saint.
How good would it be to have a game legend guiding Heath in the ruck?

Re: Tom Highmore delisted
Mmmmm…
Everyone is saying he was a weak kick ..
I didn’t know that really.
I saw a guy who I thought would be a Shane Wakelin..
Poised and an easy mark good position and hands
Well so I thought
Played 16 games for ya in 2021?
Highlight against Adelaide?
But it is clear now he had deficiencies
3 games only in 2022
And none last year
I didn’t watch Sandy and posters here did
I’ll take their word for it.
As for Battle, I didn’t think he was a good key defender and was out of position sometimes ..I thought Tom was in the space more
But Battle brings many other attributes
Disappointingly, he can’t be a big mid like a petracca crisps Oliver type
Josh Battle has been solid but limited but I trust that he’s a better choice than Tom simply because everyone says do and I e seen Josh play some solid games
But let me say, I think our defence is overrated
Jake the snake Carlisle was a loss / I mean the best version / pre back trouble
You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!
