This year it could be Logan the bogan McDonald and the other tall Amarti
As long as it's not H McLean. They stole him from under our noses
No - we just didn’t take him - could’ve had him for free pre season if i remember correctly- he was kicking arse for Sandy - but we didn’t take him
During about a decade of drafting trying to be too smart and ignoring some of the simple and the obvious choices
Trade guys probably trying to prove their worth by not doing the obvious - unfortunately often the obvious is obviously the right thing to do

Pick the teams competing for the top 8?
I'm pretty sure that Adelaide aren't competing for the 8 right now.
After all they just slipped below us on the laddet!
its time to make a name for yourself like you've never made before!
A gun midfield is much more important than a "two prong attack".
A gun midfield makes an average defense and offence so much better. Like someone said earlier, Pies won with no gun forward. The Dees won with Ben Brown. Geelong had a dynasty with an elite midfield making guys like Hawkins, Podsiadly (sp?), N Ablett and Mooney look great.
ALL our effort should be put into upgrading the midfield.
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

Prioritise, sure, but the other areas can't be ignored. Need more height and strength down back.
If we had Mac Andrew and Touk Miller we would be in the top 4.

Bang on Dud - well said
And we e actually seen in last 2 games what semi respectable break even type midfield can do for our side …
Just imagine that defence and front half operating with a genuine V12 midfield engine driving it??
A gun (or 2) breakaway ball winning mid who can also score and leave congestion behind quickly ??
No more 1 paced pig ball winners please
We need an explosive, dynamic mid or 2 fast
Our 2 prong attack was cold and impotent early in the game
Theirs was
They also have a weapon who doubles sometimes as their 3rd tall and sometimes he goes into the centre or attends stoppages.
Cam Rayner could have kicked 3 or 4 tonight but he was also damaging at centre bounce.
Our Cam Rayner is Mitch Owens. He should be helping our mids but he's our bull who competes and wins contests in the forward line. He kicked our first 2 goals and he was our lone goal scorer in the 1st quarter.
Foxfooty had clearances stats sometime late in the second quarter and we had 13-1:in our favour but we were down by 4 or 5 goals for the majority of that first half.
I think the Saints coaches tool too long to mix things up at centre bounce
Rayner attended centre bounce 6 times. Owens zero.
