Another on reasonable coin (because he was lured out) who'll get the flick for cap relief.  You'd get him for a fourth rounder.

We're only under the cap because TdK and Jack have $#@ed off and the contracts of overpaid spuds like McG have run out and they're they're being shifted onto smaller biccies commensurate with their output. We also drafted a lot of kids last year and other than Haynes didn't trade in. Other blokes were/are being let go once contracts end....Fantasia, Owies, Cincotta etc etc
I agree with Thry, none of sniffers players listed are on base payments, even at the mooted 800 K for Hill and King ("cheap rates"  supposedly) there's no way the average across the playing group gives them this huge buffer in the cap.  No way.  The math ain't mathing.
That's why they want to ditch Steele (on big coin) and screw Windhager.  It's bluffing with a pair.

Swapping out picks to get Blaine Boekhorst Whiley and Jaschke.... Couple of guns there...NOT.  That one will live in the "what a f up file" forever.

I thought that the cheats were ok behind the ball but gees their list is thin, even with their supposed guns back the midfield looks pedestrian and I didn't see anything in their kids, second and third stringers to get excited about.  They need a serious rebuild and like us they have had some pretty average returns through the draft.

That said I think this has been Williams' best year for us, he has been handy in a few games and his stints in the midfield have been effective unlike previous years.  He has been damaging in patches in that high half forward role.
Motlop is another who has played some midfield minutes.
But yea EB, Id be surprised if that first compo pick doesn't end up on a gun mid or half back like Lindsay.
The club seems to be pushing the small forwards higher up the ground in the last couple of weeks, Young especially.

I think Carroll is a good hybrid size and could end up a real player and his kicking is a weapon, but he needs to win or halve more one on one aerial contests if he going to become a 'bankable' player.  If you commit to a ball in the air you have to mark it, spoil it or otherwise kill the contest or you're trouble on the last line.  Maybe it's just an inexperience thing.  Saw some stuff from Saad I didn't like either - tackle or block - just don't stand there and get stepped.
