    List Mgmt. Contracts/Trade/Draft Thread - 2025 Edition Vol 2

    I cant believe people are even letting the thought of Merrett or Petracca even float through their brains. Just aint happening for many, many reasons dont waste anyone's time thinking about it.

    The club is in an interesting position as it has copped lots of flack for trading out of our top picks, so there is a chance we could be gun shy doing it again. Ironically this is a year most supporters would be okay with it.

    Sounds a lot like Clayton Oliver - who was also a draft bolter in his year incidentally

    List Mgmt. Draftee, NGA and Father/Son Discussion - 2025

    I've only seen highlights so know SFA. I really want Sharp based on how he reads but it just seems he's not really in the mix based on comments from people who seem to have draft knowledge (ie, Twomey basically said last week there is a top 6 or whatever it is, CDT, Duursa and 4 NGA). So I'm...

    List Mgmt. Contracts/Trade/Draft Thread - 2025 Edition Vol 2

    I'm referring to the dropping of Gross soon after he showed promise and then subbing him and essentially took the wind completely out of his sails. I'm also referring to his managemnet of Allan with things like seemingly forgetting about him for a game he was sub and playing him for 5min, and...

    Mini's management of the draftees was probably one of the most disappointing aspects of his coaching. Its a worry as we have such a developing list - hopefully he corrects it next year.

    List Mgmt. Welcome Jacob Newton (Pick 9, 2025 MSD)

    He moves like and is a similar build to Jack Viney. Also likes to get in and under. That is who he should be aiming at for mine, at least initially.

    Autopsy Round 20, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Fremantle

    Its quite obvious William has speed and his draft testing showed that. But yeah he isnt perfect. They are both poor and barely AFL standard but think i marginally prefer Williams. The only thing worse than having one non-AFL standard ruck in your team is having two.

    Autopsy Round 20, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Fremantle

    I know its unhelpful but its hard not to lament and be disappointed in the fact this is what we are putting out after being down the bottom for 4 years. The lack of a young midfield core, for a side with so many top picks, is quite simply unacceptable. It was hard to listen to Simmo talk about...

    Witts is old and GC have locked Moyle in long term to replace him. We can dream but its a pipe dream and we shouldnt waste our time hoping it will happen. We should have targetted Moyle 2 years ago. Reeves from Hawthorn is much more realistic. He's a monster (210cm) and has shown good form in...

    2nds WAFL Watch - 2025 Edition

    Let's just see McCarthy do it at AFL. I'd hazard a guess Maric would look half decent in the limited pressure of the WAFL. I personally think Maric suffers from the very limited run and offence we have through the middle and he often has limited clear options, so has to invent things more than...

    It is probably unfair but the way his brothers showed so much as juniors and in Xaver's case, early in his career, only for them to not adapt and fizz, is a worry. Zane was meant to be a gun too and he's looking like a bust at this stage. Obviously its still early but the trend is a worry. Maybe...

    Agree. Plays like we wished Owies did.

    Cameron would have been the ideal pick up if he was a free agent. Absoutely perfect. As was Baker last year. We went a year early on Baker and had to trade way overs to get him. Geez I'm worried history will repeat here. Other clubs get quality free agends for no draft capital. We get them a...

    Cameron is a gun but i only want him a minimal trade cost - which isnt happening. He isnt even out of contract this year. We are going to have to give way too much for him.
