Say it every year what a joke this Champion Data Elite nonsense is

Simple based on quantity of possession not quality

Adam Saad? Gets it alot but turns it over alot or alot of long kicks to contest where the opposition sweep and clear

At the Saints Jack Sinclair and not Jack Steele?

Nonsense,  just nonsensical rubbish

Sheesh i thought you were talking about Short for a sec then saw Saad's name. Id rather Saad to be honest id say he runs the lines more but yep very similar. Keep saying it these soft outside players who get it given to em on a platter are the most overrated players in the comp.

Amazing some clubs weren’t  top 4 with all those elite players. Some are almost reserve players imho
It gets funnier all the time, circus time is upon us

Jeremy Finlayson

Personally i would have taken him with the type of pick P/A gave up for him.

THREE sliding door moments we take skinner f/a,  Trade for Finlayson, take Schlensog Mid season rookie draft.

All of a sudden both the seniors and the two,s have adequate key fwds and we have genuine depth.

Personally i would have been happy for us to target  sam skinner to do what Morris does.  the thing about Skinner though he can play imo and would provide cover in case of injury or poor form. Schlensog is just 22 and made the WAFL team of the year.Imo he is well worth a punt.

Finlayson well you heard from the horses mouth he is elite lol. Fact is he would make great cover for injury and a more than adequate third tall up fwd.

Im just surprised we did not even attempt to go down this sort of path. Not as if your paying a fortune and cost vitually nothing as far as picks go.

How about Aliir Aliir clawski? Traded to Port for about pick 40 or whatever.

Buggered if I know why only Port seems to get KP depth cheap.
