    List Mgmt. 2024 Draft Thread

    On Trade Radio just before, Twomey was mulling which players West Coast would consider with Pick 3. He mentioned the likes of Jagga, Langford, Draper and Smillie. Spoke of these players on several occasions. No mention of FOS, even when discussing how West Coast might want to go with the modern...

    Francis Jackson...the lost years

    So he's on a Full Time wage but you're wanting him to watch less than 12 hours of football each week because seeing less games will be beneficial to our recruiters... Cotchin was injured at the draft camp and was severely hampered for his first preseason. Perhaps "Casino", or whoever was our...

    Up to 6 games per weekend...2hrs per game...12 hours work over two days...6hrs per day...the benefit of the recruiters the club has entrusted judging talent up against each other rather than trying to debate the merit of one opinion and rating of player A against a different opinion and rating...

    Mega Thread Blair Hartley Watch 2013 - Trades & FA's

    Is he contracted? I was under the impression he wasn't. If he is, no interest from me. If he is not, then I'd enquire into what the Bombers would be wanting and if it's a packet of chips, I wouldn't say no.

    Eddie Betts to Richmond?

    At $600k, no one in the AFL would be interested. However, if he's willing to play for ~$1mil over three year, maybe $1.35mil over four years, then he'd be a great recruit! We lack potent goal-scoring small forwards who are great at roving. Edwards is one who springs to mind, but he is playing a...

    Mega Thread Blair Hartley Watch 2013 - Trades & FA's

    Probably won't be popular, but I'd be interested in Leroy Jetta. He wouldn't cost much - might even use the threat of drafting him over Essendon if they want much more than we're willing to give up (perhaps a third-rounder that we have traded up for). He would provide speed and elusiveness in a...

    Toast The sheedy Factor

    With O'Meara, Bennell and Swallow, I reckon GCS will be okay. The two I've seen at AFL level will be guns and the talk around O'Meara is pretty flattering. Throw in Ablett playing more time forward and it's a dangerous looking team. Agree that GWS are looking great too, but I reckon both will...

    News Its an Ugly Arm Wrestle and its called Modern Football....

    Australian football originally started as an ongoing maul on far bigger grounds with far more players with far fewer scores. At times throughout the history of the game, the low-scoring game style of slow-moving, contested football has come back in vogue. Realistically, there will always be...

    Players to trade for...

    Westhoff is a very good, underrated player for mine. To expect a first year tall who, as yet, hasn't been close to a game despite a poor-functioning forward line for most of the year to "be what you want Westhoff to be" is asking too much. Realistically he would be too expensive if he's not a...

    Players to trade for...

    Wouldn't mind getting Westhoff or Pearce from Port. I know there won't be a lot of love for JW, but he's tall, agile, versatile and can be a matchwinner. I'd presume he's only 26-27, so he isn't too old for us and would slot into our forward line nicely. With both he and Vickery up front...

    Players to trade for...

    Don't know anything about his contract situation, but I would love for us to make a play for Trent McKenzie. Can't get a game for the Gold Coast at the moment, but has obvious talent and is one of the best long kicks in the league. Could slot him half back, half forward or on the wing and would...

    Opinion I'm gonna put this out there.

    I thought all of our small forwards (King, Maric, Nahas and Edwards) stood up when needed tonight and did their bit for the team.

    Umpire Bashing

    The free kick count was 21-13. In previous years if this had been the case but reversed, I too would have been filthy. But realistically, over the last decade we have rarely been first to the ball, so the free-kick count would rightly be swayed against us. Now that we have some elite midfielders...
