as a member of the MC I read every post on this board and try to do the complete opposite

Then your doing a good job of doing the complete opposite.

Trade bait - Lycett, Mackenzie (surely this is a must), Marsden

Delist - Butler, Lecras (hopeful over Hill), Giles, Mcinnes, Tunbridge, Snadden, Petrie (would love him to stay on TBH)

Potential targets
- Acres, Hopper :rainbow:

Personally i think finding an eventual JK replacement via the draft is going to be a tough ask, nothing KPF this year and unless we bottom out or score a decent pick next year we're not going to have much of a selection. We'd do better to try and lure someone home i think. We had the opportunity to do that with Lobb and Hogan i guess but clearly it didn't fit in with our recruitment strategy.

Got Gov as the break glass backup if we haven't had any luck, he's no slouch and could fill the FF role easily.



Draft - 1st pick on a midfielder, 2nd pick needs based, 3rd pick needs based, 4th + rookie a project ruckman :handok:
 
Found this on the Adelaide board:
Know for a fact that Rory Lobb was offered a ludicrous offer to come West last contract but turned it down for far less pay because internally the message being shoved down their throats is 'you'll win at least 3 if you stick around'.
I think if they haven't won a flag by next contract then he'll come back to Perth.

Make of that as you will.

Sounds like a player we need. Wonder where he will go in the draft? 20-30?

He is damaging and gives good run through the midfield , late second round or third round pick probably but clubs must been keen on Tim Kelly for him to get an invite to the combine .....we could use a third round pick on Kelly around pick 40 maybe .
 
Ruck depth is cheap - rookie a 7ft kid or trade inboxed workmen ruckman.

So spend picks on mids (start in the square types ) not HBF/wing want be's and a top KP forward.

Fill in around them with left overs and those that don't quite make it in the square

Issac Humphries didn't get drafted to the NBA. Get him in as a catergory B and go the Greenwood route.
 
Wasn't it all over the news that we had made offers to both, particularly Hogan?
I think people in Perth misunderstand the "go home" factor that Perth has. As someone who left Perth for Sydney, there's no way i want to go back to live in Perth. The same could be said of going to Melbourne, most people would consider those cities significantly better to live in.

So unless there's a really strong family pull back to Perth, most aren't going to be moved.

Yeah agree, I live in Perth and Melbourne prior to being in Sydney and I have no interest in leaving.

Agree also. Born and Raised in Perth, Lived in England, Sydney and now Melbourne and don;t see myself moving back to Perth till I retire (and even then its no guarantee). I'm very close to my family, but Melbourne is my home now, and Perth is where I'm from and my Family lives.

Have mentioned this before, but what are people’s thoughts on trying to lure Tom Phillips over from the Pies? Might be able to offer him more money than the pies, and would be a handy player given the desire of some posters to want to trade Gaff, and the hopeful trade of Masten (please dons or anyone else take him). His out of contract at the end of this year so unsure what we would have to give up for him (he went Pick 58 in the draft)
 
I would be happy with Higgins at that position.

He gets his hands on the ball at clearances and is a proven goal kicker. Only downside is his height and I will happily live with that.

I don't know if I posted this before but I've read that Higgins has a stand out work ethic and I think our recruiters like that more than most.

"Wins clearances and is always clean by hand and foot".

Where do we sign????
