Key Off-Season Dates
This is a comprehensive list including dates for draft combines, list lodgements, delisted free agency windows and return to train dates. I had to collate these from three different club websites because the AFL is lazy af and doesn't have it on their website, so thought it might be helpful to share:

Out-of-contract Eagle on trade table, veteran pair expected to play on

West Coast are waiting until after the trade period to make a decision about Jarrod Brander's future
www.afl.com.au www.afl.com.au

Brander on the trade table

Not sure he fits needs but 4 years in the system and hasnt really nailed down a spot

If the club thinks he could be turned into a option at either end of the ground then it could be worth looking at a trade but Vic clubs would probably offer more money, Geelong with him going to school and also links last year I think (Or maybe with the Kelly trade)

Ex academy player, he fits our needs as a depth swingman.
As always attractiveness all depends on cost at trade time and salary

Interesting development on Jarrod Brander - essentially WCE has thrown their arms up & said ''get him out of here''. He was one earlier I had wondered about whether we could pick up cheaply and turn into a defender, but ultimately felt the risk too high. The WCE decision seems to reinforce the view that he's unrecoverable - a big drop from his selection at pick #13. He'd be even cheaper now - but would he be worth the risk? If we lose Riccardi and/or Finlayson, there would be a forward position as well as a defender position on the roster.

However, his eyes (from the chatter) seem focussed on Melbourne, so I doubt he'd be interested in coming to GWS.
 
One guy I’d be trying to recruit is Kane Farrell from Port. Can’t get a game. Amazing kick on him and he is quick and agile. Too good not to be playing in the ones imo. An outside type of player… we could certainly use him. 22 years old.
 
I'm not convinced Brander is a swingman. WC have tried playing him on a wing due to their abundance of talls rather than him failing in a KP role. He looks a natural CHF to me, a better skilled Sproule I think with the way both move around the ground but tackle well for big guys. With Brander his short to medium kicking skills mean he can play up the ground as opposed to most talls. He'd have competition to get a game for us whereas someone like Collingwood he would locked in for Rd 1.

Yeah I'd be interested in him as a CHF, would stop jerking him around and focus his development in one spot.

Yes. Personally, I think it is likely to be catastrophic for ToJ if he goes to Port. He's only going there for his wife to be ''near'' family. If the reports of where her family live are true, then Adelaide isn't exactly that near - but it may be driven in these COVID times that it's the same state, and therefore less likely to be subject to movement restrictions, as NSW-SA travel currently is. But Port don't really need him or want him; they may put him on the list, but it will be at very small $ and literally no investment in his future or his well-being - which will be the worst outcome for him.

I really feel for him in his position, and if he feels he needs to go to SA for his wife & family's sake then so be it, but I can't help but feel it will not be a good result for him.

His loss won't be a significant loss for GWS, and might help to keep Riccardi, which would be a good club outcome.

If we can retain Flynn and Riccardi while off-loading Finlayson for a pick that's probably the best case scenario I could've thought of. We still probably need a genuine number 1 key forward but we had too many guys that are fringe best 22, at least Riccardi still gives us a chance at developing into a key target.

Hogan not genuine key forward?

No mention of Finlayson. if he moves, it seems likely it could quite late, after everything else is sorted for Port.

I guess as he is contracted, he is part of a different conversation, so unlikely to be mentioned either way in this article

He is but his injuries make him far from reliable, loved what he's done when he's played it's impossible to pencil him in for 22 games. If Riccardi can develop into a legit key forward option that can take the best defenders in the competition and have success that makes up forward structure a lot clearer, or Flynn for that matter but he seems more likely to slide into a complimentary forward role instead.

Clearly we will be taking Callaghan with our first. I hope we take Leek Allerr with our second. Question marks: he’d have to put on about 10 kgs. Also, I wonder what his tank is like.

Alleer is 85 kg atm which is what Taylor was when he was drafted from memory. Not sure he's a first round level prospect tbh, would have more areas to improve than a Bazzo or JVR if we're deadset on getting a KPP with that pick

You have way better handle on this than me ... what do you think of draft night if we walked away with

1/ Callaghan
2/ Gibcus or MacAndrew
3/ Fahey ( maybe matching GC at 19)

Trying to bring our 1st next year into this year somehow.
