Sure role players don’t have the same impact of stars.
Let’s say that Collingwood have a few key forwards due injuries.
Taberner is sitting at Peel kicking 5 goals a game.
Fremantle trades Taberner to the pies. Dockers win as they open up salary cap space and Collingwood wins as they fill a...
AFL players are soft. Happens all the time in professional sports that you have to move.
In the defense forces, Salvation Army and other industries people move all the time.
Reality is that Tasmania will have a hard time keeping players, and need learn from Port, Freo, Suns and Giants experience.
Fremantle and Port had the same recruiting rules.
Fremantle went with a lot of mature aged players from the WAFL. First year with a radical game plan come up with a...
Hamling is 30 and has been injured for last few years.
Fremantle already got Pearce, Cox and Chapman and there Hamling would only be insurance.
Therefore, the Dockers offered him a one year deal on money that is suited for a reserve.
Hamling wanted to be best 22 and wasn’t happy not playing...
Where did West Coast come last season and what the previous one?
Our best 22 is younger than West Coast and all of our young stars are signed up for years.
I think it’s better to target 2-6 year players. Especially talls.
Draft picks tend to either lose or hold their majority of the time.
Fremantle picked Griffin Logue at 8. Dockers lost him to North for pick 20. We put time and effort into him but it was a net loss.
McDonald goes pick 4 and...
This year draft was pretty ordinary and Collingwood first round pick was more Valuable in the 2024 draft.
Same goes with Ports 2024 first round is more than Fremantles 2023 and 2024 second round picks.
For me, it’s not only about McDonald. Gives Dockers assets to either trade for a player or...
Sure ok.
McDonald will out of contract and Fremantle forward sucks.
The Dockers need to do their due diligence and not have another Hogan or somebody with serious injury concerns.
That total failure shouldn’t control everything you do in the future.
Tall forwards are harder to find than midfielders.
West Coast issue is the lack of talent between 21-26.
McDonald fits nicely into that age bracket.
The Eagles won’t be given up pick 1-4 for him as McDonald will be out of contract.
Sure if robbing Peter to Paul.
Hate to remind you, but I...
Time to get rid of the draft and go to zones.
1. Competition for young talent - this year the Swans lost a kid to Rugby league.
2. Homesickness - players already slide in the draft and corrupts the integrity of the draft.
3. Academy works and will increase player strength.
4. Teams can turn...
