BigFooty AFLW Notice Img
AFLW 2025 - AFLW Trade and Draft - All the player moves
Due to a number of factors, support for the current BigFooty mobile app has been discontinued. Your BigFooty login will no longer work on the Tapatalk or the BigFooty App - which is based on Tapatalk.
Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Short is not a winger either, lacks the zip and running power let alone aerial prowess
Lambert turns 30 tomorrow maybe they see Shorty or Brown developing into that transition mid/forward role? Anyway I like the selection of Brown the recruiters obviously like his athleticism and ball use

Nathan Freeman formerly from StK?Wonder if the Freeman talks from earlier might get some traction again after not taking a Hobbs or Johnson.
I’m all for it and he’s still young enough if his body is right.
Nathan Freeman formerly from StK?
That's a very hard NO from me.
More red flags than a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.lot of red flags,
he would have to have a hell of a comeback to get excited

His VFL numbers are insane and he hasn’t had a soft tissue injury for 2 years now.
Former top 10 pick who didn’t get a proper run and is only 24-25 I believe! Not a bad option.

VFL Showreel, R11: Freeman finds the footy with ease https://www.afl.com.au/video/637813...dal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1624712400001
There’s plenty if ya do a quick google
Don’t think Freeman’s body can hold up to being a full time athlete
Is fine with vfl training programs but his entire time in the AFL system he was plagued with soft tissue injury’s
Would be the type of player we would need to train with us over the pre season before committing see how he holds up but any warning signs just pull the plugthat would be the worry, could not invest a lot in that venture, have to come from a low entry point to consider/
Dunno, footy club would know best and even then what impact he can make at AFL level versus racking up possessions at lower level disrupted by covid to?
I heard a little whisper that we may actually see Gibcus with a future at the opposite end of the ground….
Bang.
Other whisper I heard awhile ago is you can bet we will bid on Fahey. Almost did so at 17 I believe.
Now that we have Gibcus, we don't need Bazzo, we need a KPF like Williams if going tall.
We should also be looking at some of the mids like Draper, Johnson, Goater, Knevitt, Taylor.
Something like Draper, Williams, Goater would be a good second night.
Might also be some value trading out the final pick of the three after we secure our top 2 targets, there might be a club willing to offer next year's 2nd + a 3rd for this pick + next years fourth maybe, or something to that effect.
I think recruiting someone who's rated with what they've done as a defender is too speculative. Nothing against Bazzo, but he was the choice if we didn't get Gibcus.Williams has not shown enough for me, Knevitt has not done enough either.
Bazzo might be a swingman, his movement is so superior to Williams.
I am not sure Williams will make it even at this stage
I like Williams. Runs his ass off. Good hands. Nice kick. Great size.I think recruiting someone who's rated with what they've done as a defender is too speculative. Nothing against Bazzo, but he was the choice if we didn't get Gibcus.
Since we missed Amiss and JVR, Williams is probably the only tall this draft unless we want to gamble or trade in next year.

Hard pass for me. Slow and lacks agility.I like Williams. Runs his ass off. Good hands. Nice kick. Great size.
So does Hawkins. Depends on what role you see him inHard pass for me. Slow and lacks agility.
