If you are 2big2strom it's about a days travel, if you are anyone else based in Perth, couple of hours

This Serong brother was the one we wanted with a late pick in his draft year. Since then he's been in the VFL team of the year twice. I think he'd be a good pick-up and he can play wing or half back.
Think the issue will be what we can offer him and what we're willing to do to make said offer.

Adding McVee makes senior list spots very tight as it is. If he's willing to come as a SSP that obviously makes it much easier.

They'll delist Sturt and/or Carr to rookie them without much of an issue. It's really the 6 list spots across main and rookie lists that matters these days (with the very rare exception like Suns stealing Knobel)
 
Marshall going to Geelong keeps their younger rucks in the development phase at VFL for a while. Conway is their next in line but has been injured and Mitch Edwards contracted until the end of 2027.

Probably holds off any more Darcy to Geelong rumours for a while.
 
Marshall to Geelong basically confirms that they they traded Jordan Clark for sweet FA back.

I'd argue whether Jai Serong is on the senior list or rookie list would mean just as little to him tbh.

Don't think he's much better than say player 28-32 on our list at this stage so tbh I'm not sure that's that much better than his situation at Hawthorn if at all.

That'll be the bigger issue for him IMO. Where he sits in the depth chart.

Pour one out for the Jed Bews rumour

September 2025 - October 2025

Rest in peace

There'll.be no DFA or SSP for him he'll need to be traded for and if JL has gone over to spruik him his role I think the club value him higher than most think.
 
It's over! Trac to GC, Flag.
Tassie with the biggest signs in history, Flag.
So Dockery for us to pay $4 mill to join, get no concessions and be self funded, but will never win a flag.
Awesome
The sky is falling!

Trac might upset their entire midfield balance. You never know.
 
Pretty sure we had already committed to taking Sharp in the SSP at this time of year tbh.

Of course publicly we hadn't and Sharp hadn't told Gold Coast yet either.
Yeah but Hawks haven't burnt the relationship like GC did with Sharp (and Serong is better IMO).

Did Sharp have any other suitors though?

We’re competing against 2-3 clubs for Serong and all of them on surface seem to have a guaranteed b22 spot for him in the backline except for us. I’m not sure he’d be keen to go down that route.

I have long ago stopped stressing too much over off-season moves.

The whole thing is a clown show with the AFL manipulating every lever they can the get their preferred outcomes.

They have rendered the draft almost pointless though NGAs , father sons and arbitrary free agency compo. Dont get me started on the fixture and wildly inconsistent umpiring and match reviews. You know - the usual stuff.

I still keep half an eye on it but its more a case of " wake me when its over".

Absolutely convinced that Freo will not win a flag until the powers-that-be decide its our turn.

Wouldn’t go as far as saying he is guaranteed b22 for any team. Sydney are quite strong in the HBF. Perhaps they are looking at him for KPD. He definitely played his best footy at VFL as Half back flank third tall.

For us I see him in that role as third tall and running half back flank.

Added to that is the lure of playing alongside his brother.

We have been tracking him for some time.

This is my point exactly tbh. I don't think we can offer him the list role he wants - he's depth at Freo.

But I also think he wouldn't care whatsoever if he joins his new club via trade, DFA or pre-listed SSP.

In a scenario where Club A could only offer him a rookie spot and Club B could offer him a senior list spot but he thought he was a better chance for a game at Club A, I reckon he goes down the SSP route.

I think SSP is substantially different enough to not overlook as just a difference by name. Clubs usually don't dog players if they make a promise like that, but you can't be putting your trust in "usually" if certainty if available. If btwn now and the SSP period Jai gets a bad injury (very unlikely but not impossible), do you think those promises are guaranteed?

These are freak occurrences that you can be 99.99% sure won't happen. But when he has multiple suitors, not being left in even temporary AFL purgatory will likely mean something in his decision.
