Dylan Shiel is contracted ?
I think we would hold all the cards ?
1 .money
2. Pick 4
GWS would want highest pick possible and if Shiel doesn’t wanna go , he will see out his contract in an awkward environment.
It’s called paying a “ s**t tax “
I reckon adding Shiel and Hanneberry not only helps on field but off field, more memberships, merchandise, and more importantly higher training standards .
Getting tired drowning in my own tears turning up to games knowing we have lost the midfield battle before...
The prior years drafting before 04/2011 is similar to the last two years currently ( early picks )
The years below are drafts and trade ins that were useful to us or other clubs .
When you run your eye over the years it’s interesting .
2004. Horrendous.
2005 poor. Added Sam Gilbert
2006...
I wouldn’t be to sad if we added Hanneberry , Kent and Townsend then hit the draft with pick 4 and hopefully three top 40 picks .
I reckon we might just have to face facts and build our own top end talent and top up with role players , it’s worked previously 2004-2011 and shows if you get your...
No idea, maybe start with what we got Nat Freeman for.
If it is early 2nd round, I would prefer to roll the dice in draft , got some rippers in the 20’s .....Williams ( slider) , Bowman, Sturt , Duursma , McHenry .
By the looks of things
Carl ....walsh
GC .....Lukosious
GC ....Rankine
We happy with the next best either
Max King , Ben King or Bailey Smith ?
Or do we trade 4 off adding a player + mid 1st rounder ?
Hate to be the list manager .
I think Shiel’s worth should be judged on what he can offer to his new club .
If it’s us , I reckon automatically he bridges the gap in our weaknesses of Contested possessions , clearances, tackles, inside 50. Add Hanneberry to the mix and statistically we are back in the ball game midfield wise.
Strangely and not 100% sure but our back 6 seemed to use the ball better than our midfield group and high forwards.
I credit Playfair massively for our Defensive effort, I’m hoping like hell the flow on effect will be Brett Ratten working with our mids and Lade with our forwards . Time will tell...
100% this , West Coast mids are just full of strong grunts with good foot skills although Gaff , Shuey and Yeo are classy.
Saints could very easily and quickly turn into this model .
Class .....Steven , Gresham,
Grunt .....Ross , Steele , Acres , Hanneberry
Unknown....Clark, Coffield and pick 3
As much as I wanted a ready made A grade player this trade period.
Ive sort of readied myself to the fact it’s not gonna happen .
So I guess we trade for picks and add top up depth players ?
Besides Dunstan to Carlton, Hickey to West Coast and Lonie to Brisbane, where else( who )can we find good...
