Guthrie straight back in is a big gamble. Not one i would have taken but anyway. Also that bench doesnt have an obvious sub i cant imagine parfitt will be tactically, bowes played well last week. Maybe duncan is sub?although that surprises me with stewart out.
I wouldnt have picked tuohy either...
I mean parfitt was playing like a plodder 2 months ago so who knows maybe all hardie needs is an opportunity. I do tend to think vfl might be his ceiling though.
Thats true and i wonder if we might do that with any of our younger players...for example clohesy could be tried there.
I agree with the first bit and thats why id keep him as vfl backup. My discussion was more if he doesnt want to go around again. His body might be struggling more than we...
Bews is a priority 0 and is already goneski.
Rohan and tuohy are closer to 2 (and will probably retire).
Stanley is closer to 5 (unless we have a decent depth ruck lined up in a cheap trade which we might)
Parfitt isnt a 5 yet at present hes a 2 or 3 he only gets to 5 if hes still playing this...
The average wage is about 300k now but will go up under the new cap.
We can afford 750 for him its just if we want to or not.
For me it depends on what else we can do with the money, if we cant get a good alternative player in a position of need then id rather pay it and keep him as hes class...
I doubt he goes back to richmond. He wont want bottom 4 there.
Ess maybe but i feel they are a middling team going nowhere.
Carlton for sure would be a good fit for both parties but cap is the issue.
They have some really expensive mids and key forwards (we stretched their cap by offering...
I agree we have to have a ruck for 2025 but you can get them in a cheap trade or SSP.
We need a small defender but that could be a late pick.
I agree the picks and cap space are for a kpf and elite top end mids.
The focus will be getting henry and stengle (id give them 4yrs each) and kolo (2 or 3) done now.
Bews and tuohy are certain delists and the other older guys like danger hawk duncan stanley we will wait til later in the year to see how their bodies are going before offering 1yr.
Murdoch is...
Despite turner playing well tonight melb could use a fwd. Brown is finished and petty is average.
But lobb really isnt worth the $ hes on but melb might be desperate enough to do it.
That is correct as 76 and 94 came in as everyone passed. That said if we didnt have pick 94 the afl would have given us 110 or something which would have come in to the 60s anyway. So you could argue we would have got humphries either way.
This trade is too early to tell the full picture...
And thats plenty rohan can barely get a game with our depth and theres mannagh to come in as well.
With danger guthrie duncan and blitz near the end its mids and a support ruck we want..not zurhaar.
We have got a lot of free agents (over 10) but the only ones left of any note are stengle and jack henry (the latter wont leave). The rest are older blokes that will go 1 year or retire or fringe players like parfitt.
Technically we gave cameron 6 (5 and a trigger for a 6th year) i can see us doing that for smith if the money is right..we will have oodles of cap space.
I personally wouldnt but i can see the club doing it.
I dont think so. While we clearly like a certain ruck type (not a dinosaur) numerically weve often had 4 or 5 rucks on the list.
In 25 we will have only 3 (assuming no stanley) and 2 of those will be 34 yo blitz and 19yo edwards who is injured and not physically ready yet.
That plus conway will...
