You are stuck paying at least 95% of the total cap whether you have talent or not, so it's not like WCE could blow us out of the water at this point.

I have no idea how you've come to this logic. None at all. Of course we could. Even more so now.

Yet the lad still chose to stay. This says only good things for Adelaide.

 

[King Patty]

At least Duursma and Curtin both have brothers coming through this year. Duursma looking to be the higher pick again and Curtin's brother is a monster I would guess 5 cm and 15 kg bigger than Curtin, having a pretty average championship though. Duursma brother a utility type quite skinny and having a decent but not as good as expected championship.

Curtins Brother will likely be around where Adelaide's first rounder will be.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

He already is. Hypothetical

Curtin vs daicos vs Darcy

I dont think there's any doubt that Curtin was considering his options. I'm not sure what they were offering him, but it should have been a three year, million a year to get him back. They can afford it cap wise, and really dont have many other players on big coin, maybe Kelly, but you do what you have to to get them to move.

Adelaide were down, but they managed to get some good players in via trade and delisted FAs.
Rankine and Dawson was a revelation, and without those two we arnt where we are, then the DFAs on Keays and Hinge also filled a spot, and I think you can add Keane with those two as well. Then last year the additions of ANB, Peatling and Cummins was the icing on the cake

We were lucky to be at the bottom at the right time with Thilthorpe, and the club has drafted really well with Curtin, Michaelanny, Worrell, Soligo, Rochelle and co.

It didn't just happen via the draft, which is why our rebuild wasn't that long. If you are relying on the draft alone, its a much longer route.

It has taken us 5 years to rebuild a premiership contending side in the past but it took us 8 years which isn't that bad considering it was our biggest list turnover in 2019 and 2020 occurred during the pandemic and the 2018 and 2019 complete draft stuff up. Probably should have played Finals in the 6th year and then Nicks completely changing the game plan last year which ended up as a blessing in disguise as it allow us to draft Draper at pick 4 and luckily the Saints finish above us. Definitely recruiting Rankine and Dawson in consecutive seasons, nailing the drafts from 2020 and then recruiting 3 players in the best 18 last year meant the rebuild didn't take even longer, West Coast has a long road to go.

Lets see

1991- 1993 (Prelim Final and chance of flag in 93)
1994-1998 (re-build starts under Shaw in 95 McLeod, Goodwin, Edwards, Jarman BAck to back flags in 97 and 98)
1999-2002 (2002 Prelim Final final. Closest weve had to an all SA Grand Final but Collingwood Brissy too good McLeod Goody Edwards entering their primes)
2003-2006 (2 prelims. missed opprtunity)
2007-2012 (6 Years before our next chance in 2012. Should have won flag in 2012)
2013-2017 (4 years but only 2 years out of finals)
2018 - 2019 (2 Years of sucking)
2020-2025 (5 years of a complete re-build. First ever complete re-build )

You would think WC would need similar talent on all lines as Hawthorn and Adelaide have to say the rebuild is over.
There are some kids I like at WC, like Bo Allen and obviously Harley Reid, but there isn't depth on each line, and some lines dont have any. You are looking at maybe 10 players they need covering midfield and the key positions. That's not easy to do via drafting alone, and with regards to the Key Forwards and Backs, unless you have the picks exactly where they are in the draft, then you can spend a decade trying to get them. Look at North, after six years hitting the draft they still haven't managed to nail them down.

For the record, WC are a proud club, with massive resources and supporter base, so they best suited to getting what they need to get back to finals.

Wasnt it going to be Thilthorpe ?

He's already the best tall fwd in the comp. Some would argue darcy but I would say tt is having a better year than him.

We should have pinched one in 2005 or 2006, played in a PF 6 years later in 2012 and then a player lead coup, played in a GF 5 years later in 2017 and then Collective Mind stuff up.

Signed a 3 year deal this week locked in at Adelaide till 2029

Kid is only 20 but called "Beef" around the club

He's called "beef" as in.. Beef curtains.. right?

Pretty simple really, AFL salary cap requires at least 95% of your cap is spent on your list, with the ability to go up to 105% should a team sit at 95% (and 102% if 98% etc) Whilst there are tricks to artificially increase this amount (front or back-loading contracts), really, it is very hard for a team right at the bottom to blow out a team in the upper-to-mid table out of the water unless they've absolutely butchered their salary cap management, or the team at the bottom is about to make an almighty ****-up.

Best tall forward but likely wont be AA...

 

[Spook]

Was a very smart move by the Crows to move up in the draft for him..well done.

Doesn't he have a younger brother highly rated?

Yep, Cody. Still playing school boy footy with under 18 Colts games when he can.

I still don't get your logic. In fact, I see it the other way
We HAVE to spend money to make that cap, right? Right now with potentially the loss of Oscar Allen, the confirmed loss of Jeremy McGovern and not getting Chad Warner, we'd be lucky to make the 95% cap at all, thus we can afford to artifically overpay players more than Adelaide can who have to fit a plethora of prime age and emerging stars into the list.

if you legit think West coast will be able to rebuild in 4 years with Tassie coming in, well I'm sorry to tell you it's gonna be a long road ahead, doesn't even look like you've hit rock bottom yet either.

You've lost generational key pillars in the last few years, McGovern, Kennedy and Shuey's don't grow on trees.

How many drafts do you think a club needs to rebuild? tf?

Weve already had 4 drafts worth of picks come in, and this year will be the 5th. We have a lot more talent than most think, we're just so young.

Err, Kennedy and Shuey are long retired.

Gov's a huge loss but he didn't play much this year anyway.

Despite winning less games, we're clearly playing better than last season.

Saying we haven't hit rock bottom yet is basically stating you haven't watched WCE play this year.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Curtain is Tauru-lite

Isn't Tauru a defender?

Basically going to be an elite version of blicavs

Which makes what you did last year even strange??? You should have just used what you got for an experience player you lost for an experience player you gain. Waste of a rebuild early pick.

Hoping the Tassie team falls over, or is delayed by a few years, the proposed draft concessions will add years to the rebuild.

??
What we did last year was fine

If you bothered to actually look at what we have on our list then you'd know we are fine, especially with 3 more first round picks this year.

Effect of a new team is overstated. For a bottom team is is like missing out on one draft pick.
