GC midfield looking a step above.

Please don't let Tim English be a realistic target.

Ried will trudge through the front door, the weight of the world poised to bear down on his shoulders. The club's offer, a "lottery jackpot" contract extension, will lie on the kitchen counter. I'm looking forward to seeing him along side Longe, Ginby, Marick, Hewitt and Chessar in the years...

Ginbey combines mid-tier talent with an exceptional athletic framework, positioning him well to leverage his defensive skills while maintaining a robust two-way game, both attacking and defending. Unlike players like Dangerfield, Ginbey is more reminiscent of an enhanced version of Stenglein and...

It's the ability to identify where the blocks from team mates comes from that helps the comparison. I don't think I'll ever forget that game.

Called it

Bloke made the opposition look like they were in an aikido demonstration

Didn't actually expect that Harley Reid would be able to shrug tackles like he did in his first preseason.

West Coast easily top 4 in 2024 Ginbey, Hewitt, Reid ready to crush.

Looks like a gun and a compeitive beast. Look forward to see what the combination of Long, Ginbey, Chesser, Hewitt and Reid can do - they all look to have a 'lets spark the club' type vibe.

IMHO we will be pushing top 8 next year, people are sleeping on the quality of our senior players if they can get on the park. F1 could be OP this year and could a solid play to get a Curtin type..

Looking through the last few drafts - the second round is routinely a dumpster fire of not quite first round quality selections and not quite late enough for speculative mature age recruits (2017 seems to be an outlier however, stacked after the first round). No chance WC would be interested in...

Reminds me of Dan Curtin

I've said it before but here we go again. Any single one of Reid's match review videos is better than any other draftees full highlight package. Nobody else has the nous, ability to make space, ability to stay in a contest or ability to compete on every line. He is as close to very good to...

I would love to know why victorian talking heads seem so sure that west coast should get trade back for extra draft picks at the end of first round of a draft that has been widely panned as dropping off a cliff in terms of quality outside of the first 6 or 7 live picks.

Ludacris to skip a talent like Reid. West coast have been exceptionally good at retaining Vic country talent over the last 20 years, no show mining job and a shiny new BJJ gym for his uncle should hedge some of that risk as well.

I would be happy with a pick in the 30s and some salary cap space for Darling.

Start of first round or end of first round?

I wouldn't be surprised, given the sheer volume of i50s the opposition were able to generate against the bottom teams this year.

So if North match the 780k due to it only triggering band 2, not only do they miss out on draft pick 3 but also have to pay Ben McKay about 300k more than he's worth. Well done Essendon for the ultimate troll job.

Any update on the HRC?

Hold up AFL are actually going to give North Melbourne pick 3 for them trading Ben McKay? The bloke is one of the most dead-set average key defenders in the league.Never been All-Australian, never been in the top 5 of his clubs Best and Fairest. Not a single club would have him in the first...

The contested work by GWS in the second quarter was absolutely absurd. Can only pray that one of the young players can get to the level of somebody like Tom Green, an absolute monster of an inside mid at 22.

Good decision.

To me it's clear as day that he has gone for the smother/spoil and completely unanticipated that Brayshaw would come further to his right, deviating from the kick a solid 30-50cm. Maynard is at full extension, at the highest possible point trying to get a hand on the ball and there is no...

Sorry for the tone of the last post btw, was really hungry :(

Minimum of 3 years for Jake

And that's fine but your opinion and what I know is happening are two different things.

Jake and the fam were absolutely pissed over the handling with his illness and the club medical team and that would have been the only limitation on him signing a new contract but he is 100% staying. He lost a lot of weight, strength and conditioning and ruined the back end of the season but...

Brayshaw is lucky he didn't give away a free kick for tunneling.
