Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
I think there is a definite sense of competition and spite towards us from the other clubs. Some may claim that all clubs are just making deals in their own self interest and that is true, to a point. What I do think is happening though, is that clubs don't want to deal with us or see their picks turn into assets to us which would come back to haunt them. I genuinely feel that clubs are more likely to work with the weaker clubs because, not only do thye often have more earlier picks but also that there is a smaller risk they those players chosen with hurt their clubs chance of success in the future.
No other club wants to see us succeed and they know we have a proven system and development program that gets the best out of players. Swapping earlier picks with us, regardless of the deal would come back and haunt you.
THis could be me with a decent chip on my shoulder or it could be a years of success making other clubs bitter as hell too.
Rookie list is: Aarts, Mansell, Parker, Chol. Egg, Stack, Miller, Pickett. Egg & Chol gone frees up 2 rookie spots.Sorry. Rookie list is full![]()
Sinn is scrappy.
Fahey, Johnson and Waganeen Milera are the best kicks in the draft of anyone

Agreed.
Im hoping Johnson is there for us at 15. We rate him very highly. Classy player.
Leek Alleer playing in SA, I wouldn't be surprised if Port take him at 16.I’d be more than happy with Leek Aleer with one of our picks in the 20’s.
highlights are impressive.
Pretty sure Chol was main list and is one of the 4 openings. And Parker is replacing Egg. There are different combinations for main and rookies, but six already.Rookie list is: Aarts, Mansell, Parker, Chol. Egg, Stack, Miller, Pickett. Egg & Chol gone frees up 2 rookie spots.
So delist Garth.... re rookie Cumberland.
Naish, Astury, Houli, CJ & Garth
& Egg & Chol off rookie list.
Schlong isn’t a free agentHmm wish list
7 Erasmus
15 Amiss. Looking for a JR like for like.
Hoping CCJ deal can be done between 15 and 26 and one of Goater , Johhnson get there.
26 Bazzo
28 Chesser
38 Knevitt
42 Dittmar, Will Pearce, Bailey Rogers
F/A Schlensog
We’ll need to grab him at 9. No chance at 17. He may even be in front of Erasmus now for first WA pick given his form in the last month. Beat Horne Francis in the first of the State clashes.
I‘m leaning to him for our 1st pick in front of Wanganeen Milera
He on only fans?I think you are right. Been hearing we like Johnson so taking him at 9 will shock some but he is a 192cm inside mid with great skills and aerobic ability. Erasmus not playing may drop his rankings but he’s got fans.
Needs more Western Australians.Hmm wish list

I know we're only playing by the rules the AFL give us, but not comfortable with guys playing regularly in the seniors and still being classed as rookies.Rookie list is: Aarts, Mansell, Parker, Chol. Egg, Stack, Miller, Pickett. Egg & Chol gone frees up 2 rookie spots.

Why did Bulldogs allow a trade where Melbourne gets pick 17?
Chol was on the senior list. Even with Egg gone we still have a full rookie list because we resigned Parker.Rookie list is: Aarts, Mansell, Parker, Chol. Egg, Stack, Miller, Pickett. Egg & Chol gone frees up 2 rookie spots.

Because they have only had one year of success while we had 4, three of which ended in flags and we'll be right back in contention next year and everyone knows it.
Do any clubs forward stocks look too good if both their best key forwards go down?
Not like clubs can afford a quality key forward playing at VFL level
Yep, once he worked his way into the team he was one of their two best key forwardsMelbourne bought in brown mid season who kicked a lot of goals when it mattered
No he’s not scrappy. I’ve watched him live in a Xavier v scotch match and he’s a fantastic kick. Lefty who hits targets at 45-50 metres whilst running full tilt.Sinn is scrappy.

Scotch are shit though.No he’s not scrappy. I’ve watched him live in a Xavier v scotch match and he’s a fantastic kick. Lefty who hits targets at 45-50 metres whilst running full tilt.
Probably makes him better, not downhill skiing.Scotch are sh*t though.
So we draft 5 kids and waste 2 picks in the late 40's if we can't trade them on.Sorry. Rookie list is full![]()
Johnson is a beast !! Think Fyfe ++.I think you are right. Been hearing we like Johnson so taking him at 9 will shock some but he is a 192cm inside mid with great skills and aerobic ability. Erasmus not playing may drop his rankings but he’s got fans.
Johnson is a beast !! Think Fyfe ++.
If we cant get Hobbs, Johnson can play from Round 1.
He's more Pendlebury than Fyfe. He doesn't crash through, he steps around.Johnson is a beast !! Think Fyfe ++.
