Listed as alumni here. But so is his mate Erasmus who in other articles is clear his paperwork was never lodged with the AFL in time so he was never an academy player for them so I don't know what's going on there. https://www.westcoasteagles.com.au/academies/naitanui

If we got Humphries out of that hissy fit Mackie threw over late picks then his actions are entirely vindicated. Mind blowing.

Humphries? He never actually nominated for the draft after footy got knocked out by covid. He went to a pretty decent school apparently and they convinced him to go to uni instead

Steven Wells pupils just dilated a bit

I wouldn't get too hung up on not having a first this year either. You burned like 6 of them on Treloar, Stephenson, Beams, and a think outside the box 2020 pick swap in the run up to the 23 flag. They're not the be all and end all.

Sure, but like, what if you filter out the list and only report the ones of comparable age profiles? There might only be one other...

Collingwood list managers in the mirror: "why are you like this?"

Wow this trade gets worse every year. Butters vice captain at Port Thomas delisted Eeeesh

Some strong under-calling of the powers of the great Grionel Messi going on here

I miss Tim Kelly

Who wouldn't be

I don't think they are really similar players at all.

Francis Evans drafted to the cats and then picked up by Port Quite liked him as a Chappy style small forward but was a bit slow and delisted Weirdly really good at wet conditions

Sam De Koning should get a more consistent year and back to his premiership full back level. Brad Close should be more consistent Frank the tank might need to lift a bit or he'll find himself delisted again

Oh my God that is catastrophic

Yeah sure, but your Zane Trew ain't exactly blowing the comp away. I do like a redemption story though so all the best to the lad

Are you sure he didn't side on ability? I can't claim to have watched a ton of footage of him but he was listed as a key defender and I don't think I saw any footage of him defending anyone. Just linking up with marking and kicking on the flanks. Not sure how that translates to afl

Cam Mooney was kpf for a dominant team. QED

I'm not sure it was certain to be a waste of everyone's time. If soldo didn't get traded then we might have done better

Maybe but also Geelong being unreasonable at the trade table was pretty specifically an Andrew Mackie thing and Mack has moved to a different role this year.

Yeah I guess just the ones I wanted were all gone maybe.

I think the "these days" part misses that the cap is going up faster than the average contract because it's being revised up and this gives more space to add front loaded contracts to otherwise average players. I doing so their contracts are being measured against a cheaper pool of contracts and...

You know what, I don't think getting into it is going to make this place any better. Let's agree to disagree

Marshall no different to King? I need to sit down because my head is spinning

I think you mean band 1 not pick 1. But I think Port will go top 4 next year minimum and I think as a result the difference between bands 1 and 2 will be negligible

Like saints did with Brad Crouch? Guess it's not impossible but I wouldn’t think that likely.

I don't know that he's been that durable. Also the 800k threshold will be going up with the new cba. He could get band 1 I guess but just seems pretty borderline

You sure? He's had his moments but I wouldn't say he'd be elite level of the comp pay bracket territory

Ah yes, but have you considered that Geelong is the default home for all country kids? Bring the boy home
