Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Even if he is right about us being boring, he's wrong about the reason. Why the * would we even attempt to get JHF with pick 5 already gone on Rankine? They will want two firsts at least, which we can't offer.
No current season stats available
I'd take him ahead of Jimmy Rowe for example (delist).If Willie Rioli goes to the preseason draft and he's cited family reasons for SA, should we take him?
We should be making it clear we are interested.

Would make losing Rachele palatable![]()

It'd be more list spots for us. I'd get rid of Newchurch and Rowe to make it work.Even if it's just to make the Power pay up in a trade.
Tom Doedee is the obvious one. Right age bracket for a lot of teams, a pretty good player when in form, but playing in a niche role that isn't really important to us now, rather is only important to a team who finished top 4 this year and feels an experiened intercept defender was one of the reasons they didn't win it this year, much like topping up with a small forward or a ruckman. Only player on our list in the right spot on the market value vs team importance graph. He certainly looks less and less like the future captain, which was the main reason to retain him.
The other is Shane McAdam. Realistically he's too old to still be an important contributor to our next premiership push, while at the same time his most recent season, his forward x factor, and Fremantle's current list position mean he's never going to be more valuable in trade than he is right now.
Some might say Smith, but I think that ship sailed 2 years ago, other clubs will want him but won't be willing to pay anything for him anymore given the age.
I can't really think of anyone else worth putting in that glass window. The rest have not enough value, or are players we want and should want to retain.
I'd like to keep our 23 picks. With the retirements coming next year we should be well placed to land a big fish. Free agency would be good but having some draft capital will be needed if we want to trade.
The problem is, this philosophy works when you are a top 8 side. But as a bottom side our fringe players are even worse depth for others.Players with a proven fringe level ceiling should be sent with a pick to get a better pick. Those players shouldn’t be locked into the list and bottom end of the 22. We should be cycling through them whikst looking to upgrade them. Currently Murphy would be the poster child. It doesn’t matter if he only moves a second or third up a few spots.
If McAsey is on a rumoured $450K-$500K I'm not surprised he doesn't have a ton of suitors. Wait until that contract runs out before you take a flier on him.
Getting rid of Rowe works..It'd be more list spots for us. I'd get rid of Newchurch and Rowe to make it work.
We didn’t get the Hawks CEO. You can still be accurate when talking rubbish.
It’s hardly pedantic, a CEO is different to the head of finance when running a football club.Pedantic. Okay COO
You keep doing you - find negativity in every thing the club does, keep banging on about the goal being to just get into the top 8 - then rinse and repeat

Agree with this. It’s the David Mackay effect. Pumping game after game into a borderline player rather than spreading those games amongst rookies.It doesn’t matter. What a guy like Murphy brings is barely different to a kid in his first few games in his second year. So even if we don’t get an upgrade on a pick, we still need to be cycling through that type of player. The bottom handful of players selected need to be developing kids, not fully developed mid agers or seniors.
Would have thought Rankine plays his roll?Both.
If true then McAsey is being paid more than 2x the opposing team’s entire salary cap to perform as a spud in the SANFL.If McAsey is on a rumoured $450K-$500K I'm not surprised he doesn't have a ton of suitors. Wait until that contract runs out before you take a flier on him.

Gee, you make some outrageous statements sometimesJHF comfortably a higher priority than Rankine.
Given Age, trying to fill his pocket, seeing his condition, where we sit I’ll give it pass thanksCould play Rankine, Rachele and Rioli.
If we are being pedantic, the CFO is the finance guy. The COO runs the organisation. Bit of finance, bit of legal, bit of IT, fair bit of fixing sh*t that goes wrong.It’s hardly pedantic, a CEO is different to the head of finance when running a football club.
But the fact you had to deflect “find negativity in everything” is just cringe and it’s bullshit. It’s a myth made up by the Mary Poppins crew who resort to it when someone criticises their posts.
Speaking of Mary Poppins, where is Mego Red?
