    Spot on. Caruso literally said at the final Members Connect they would trade up if they had an opportunity to ensure they get the player they wanted. They never get into "winning" trades. Bidding on the Swans academy player was the cherry on top.

    Taylor - biggest surprise is that this pick was accurately predicted.

    I've heard it's a bad idea to try to polish those nuggets.

    He looked good in his draft year and has a good tank and can kick a goal. I think disposal and ability to adjust to the speed of AFL were his biggest flaws. Could be a late bloomer if a team Rookie lists him.

    Depth players are required players. Coming to an oppo board with no clue about our list just to embarrass yourself is the real "lol".

    He was a contracted and required player, Numbnuts.

    I hope he gets an opportunity on another list.

    Analysis 2026 GWS Giants - Best 23, breakout player(s)

    Easy to argue that our depth goes much deeper than that. We could be Geelong-like and 'manage' a few names on the F: line to keep them ready for finals.

    Memberships 2025

    Here is my notes dump from the Members Connect: End of season reviews are essentially always immediately completed - they do weekly reviews in-season. So they have a good handle on what they need to do as soon as the season ends. VFL coach Wayne Cripps is now the Mids coach. Ben Hart moving to...

    Well, Caruso and McCartney are on the Members Connect tonight if you want to ask them your questions :)

    Suns would be bullish on Petracca and JUH - if the latter pulls his head in.

    Well, Wehr, technically. But his loss won't move the needle for us either way.

    Sounds like the Dees finally realised that a 3rd rounder was the best offer and now trying to offload more of the salary.

    A strong 23, indeed. It feels like we go into 2026 with a stack of depth options options across each line - maybe for the first time. Toss in Jones and Kelly, possibly in the back half the year, and we're bursting with talent.

    I can only think there's a player we really want in the top dozen (probably around 15 after all the compo BS), or we're improving position for another pick and player trade to come.

    Must be where the deal broke down. They rate him to pay him but not to deal in good faith.

    It will hopefully make us more tactically flexible and take a chunk of the load off Green. As someone else here mentioned, it will help with rotations with at least one of Oliver or Green always on the ground. Stone crossed my mind as possible trade bait. "Adequate" is a good description of him...

    The same article talks about Derksen being in limbo, despite some other clubs taking a look at him. Caruso oddly non-committal considering we held him to the contract - perhaps we have another move to make..?

    Oliver in a "down" year will still push up the midfield clearance quality and quantity.

    Pies would have to Futures to do a deal. It's always going to difficult for a smaller club to compete with that. Pies would have to trade Futures to do a deal.

    Angwin started the year well down the pecking order, at least in most of our views here, now he's deservedly secured a wing position and can hopefully continue developing.

    We know Kingsley doesn't like plodders. Could compliment Green nicely if he's willing to knuckle-down and play our system. Salary could be a problem unless there's a back-contract sweetener.

    Hold at the right price. His VFL performances show he has AFL potential. Although from memory his partner was keen to return to Melbourne.
