I reckon there is a KPD in our sights somewhere over this trade period because we see Bruce more forward..

Schoenmakers wasn't completely ruled off the table this morning by Graham Wight and tony74 from SS seems to think we were interested.

Here's something to discuss, both Armitage and Steven are both on the table for the right price, regardless of what the club is saying publicly.
Careful. They'll come for you.

I've been saying this consistently. It makes complete 100% sense based on everything we already know. I think people take the "contracted player" and "very, very unlikely" comments way too seriously. Of course that's the response.

Bang, that'll start quite a bit! On your comments regarding Petracca, he's personally not the best player I've ever seen at U18 level (Tom Boyd), but a gun and definitely the #1 pick.

I just don't see it. Obviously you are more in the know than I am, but it just seems the antithesis of much of their actions this year.

The club persevered with less than spectacular players purely because they are older and have experience. Why trade out some of the best older players we have? I'm not of the belief that you need to have a consistent age spread right from the rebuild, but gutting that age group would put us backwards certainly.

No doubt in my mind that this is the case.

If we want to get more class in we have to give up something, especially if we want to hold onto pick 1

Just when we thought all was quiet on the (Greater) Western front....Way to stir it up, as usual, B-ri!

As I, and a few select others have maintained, whilst there are certainly benefits to retaining these two, there are a myriad of situations in which trading one of them will result in an overall positive result for the club. Hell, there are even some situations where trading both would be beneficial, albeit such a situation would be very unlikely to arise (logistics-wise).

Both won't go, one or the other WILL go.
If this ends up being true I really don't like it one bit.

Surely Farren Ray + a late pick would get us something? I would much rather that than Armo or Steven. Armo is the better player at the moment but I just don't see the point in getting rid of Steven.

Just don't like it.

On Membrey as a mid, I'm of the belief that we've targeted him to play a somewhat similar role to one other youngster in particular......recall that a (currently) undrafted kid, with the initials, CP, began his TAC career as a big bodied third-tall forward, before his meteoric rise after a midfield transition....

I'm not saying that Membrey will reach the same level, but there are certainly some likenesses.

How does that work? We would have to pick him up in the draft unless Sydney delist him and we can get him as a free agent? Could we just trade our last pick so we don't use our PSD pick? I don't understand how we would do it
I said it about 50 pages ago, whatever pick we give the Swans (99) won't be used

Would not be shocked if Lee is tried down back, although I don't agree with it at all. just not sold on the idea of Bruce forward either. I know he played his junior footy down there, but our key position back stocks are still so thin, would be awesome if Bruce works out back there. Also, his disposal sucks. Lee is a much better kick for goal, and actually has the potential to kick a bag. I would be genuinely shocked if Bruce ever kicks more than 5 in an AFL game, particularly against good opposition. He would need 15 shots on goal for starters. I am however confident Lee, Spencer, Stanley could comfortably pop up for 5+ goals every now and then. Don't get me wrong I really like Richo, he needs time and most importantly he seems to be fostering a united group which is just what we need at this point, however some the sh*t that went down at the selection table last year was completely baffling to me. We should have persisted with Bruce at CHB last year, and WTF is with the love for Shenton? The comparisons to Gilbert are flat out wrong. Gilbert actually knows how to defend, both one on one and when to go third man up. Shenton just seems to consistently get owned one on one. So he goes for a run every now and then, big deal. If he doesn't get caught he just kicks it high and long to nobody. Honestly he is a poor mans Brett Peake. I was already grumpy, the Richo interview has obviously annoyed me further. **** everyone let's just Petracca, and FYI Richo, don't try and convert him to a half back flanker!
