Also, why on Earth would North give up a future first, when they can just trad 3 to Melbourne for 6 & 11? Sure, they miss out on Duursma but they gain an extra 1st and there's some more than handy players around #11.
Pyke hasn't even started in the role yet and said on radio the other day he has zero involvement with the list management team for now, other than being told the strategy.
It isn't going to change for a bloke starting 2 months after the ND.
He was also saying WCE would just skip him and pick someone else, which I assumed was massively reaching for Curtin..
Well, Reid's publicly stated he wants #9 if he goes to WCE and he's just started following Ben Cousins on Instagram l, so it appears the stars are aligning for Cuz to hand Reid...
How many players have WCE lost due to 'homesickness'?
Judd, McConnell(who, you ask?), Selwood and Ebert?
Judd probably would've stayed, if not for the drugs fiasco. We got 6 years and a flag out of him. We got 2x premiership players for him leaving as well.
McConnell was a late first-rounder...
Oh yes, it was indeed on Gettable.
Still, mountains out of molehills.
The hysteria from the Vic media over the concept of him going to WCE is laughable though.
Because it's draft tampering.
Could you imagine if the top WA prospects suddenly start coming out every year saying they don't want to move interstate?
The worst part about this is that it appears mostly driven by the Vic media/Cornes and not by Reid himself.
If you saw McClure groveling...
Which headlines are you talking about?
The one from earlier, where Sam McClure was quoted as saying Reid "Essentially doesn't want to go to WCE", or the one later (Footy Classified) where McClure backtracked hard saying he hasn't heard this directly, Reid was upset, Reid would be more than...
I'll spew if WCE are dumb enough to take Curtin at no.1 over Reid.
Not that I don't rate Curtin but if he's likely to be CHB at the next level, it's a waste not taking the consistent match-winner in Reid.
WCE have had great success taking key backs later in the draft, especially recently. I'd...
Depends where the clubs are on the ladder for WA players.
Honestly, with how badly the draft is compromised, clubs should just go back to primarily recruiting from zones/academies, where they select maybe 2-3 picks and then the remainder go into an open draft.
Not much point in having a...
Time to start telling all the top-end WA talent that they're 'family-oriented' and unsure how they feel about moving east :rolleyes:
I'd still pick him anyway, if we finish last. Back ourselves in to keep him, as Judd's the only big name Vic we've ever had return home, or trade him for a ransom...
One where we get Cadman, Wardlaw, Sheezel, Phillipou and a time travelled Chris Judd from 2001, due to them all miraculously sliding/travelling through time.
Someone on our board who has interviewed Lemmey for a Melbourne club said he wouldn't be surprised to see him go undrafted this year. Lots of personal issues going on in his life right now (wouldn't elaborate) but spoke highly of the kid's character. Said he believed he would struggle in an...
Err, what?
Melbourne is a shit hole. Don't get me wrong, I actually really like Melbourne, having grown up in Tassie and making many trips there, as well as living on the Peninsula from 205-2018 however I must address a number of glossed-over issues that the locals conveniently forget when...
