He was very good v Richmond yesterday & has impressed at training the last few weeks. WCE are really thin in regards to key defender stocks with Barrass now at the hawks, Harry Edwards has had some injury issues this preseason & I personally don't really rate him. Wouldn't surprise me to see Brock given an opportunity early, Sheed put on the LTI list.

Yeah for sure. I understand we have brought him across to play a role not too dissimilar to the role that ANB played as that half-forward pressure type.
Honestly could get his chance as soon as round 1 with our small to medium forward stocks in all sorts of strife with Kozzy suspended, Kolt, Melksham and McAdam injured, and Spargo still working his way back to full fitness.

Does anyone have a full list of last years trades/free agency moves or know where to get it?
I found this on the AFL site Every move of the 2024 Trade & Free Agency period but it's a bit cumbersome.

Honestly, Wikipedia isn’t too bad I find for this. Which is hard to believe.

Classic fool's gold scenario setup.
They could actually just go with something similar to what the Cats did with Hawkins, just have Darcy take all F50 ruck contests, English roam the midfield and back half and Lobb just takes a lot of D50 ones to allow English to position behind the ball there also. That's what I'd do so you can bet that Bevo wont be doing that
It's Bevo, the guy who rucked Dunkley over actual rucks, so probably going to be Ryley Sanders or Dale or something.
Definitely good for English on paper though. I still think English is the best value bet ruck, I think the concussion that wasn't a concussion episode was a massive part of why he was so bad last year. The ruck rule change was also absolutely a factor so will be interesting to see if he can work out a counter to that, bringing in a brute like Crossley to train against may very well have been intentional as well for that factor.
