Mod notice after Mr Bob did a lot of annoying work in moving days of posts out of here. As we are heading into offseason, this thread is for 2023 list management only. Getting upset on previous trades can be taken to the vent thread. Lets keep this thread on track in the part of the year it's actually relevant

AFL is a cruel game sometimes.

We drafted J Lo at pick 2 and that was our second tall. Retires at 28 due to injuries
Sorry, I don’t mean to be pedantic, but the poor guy had to retire at 26, not 28. He was bloody good too.

Fisher is a midfielder, a clearance midfielder closer in game style to Dayne Zorko than the small forward he is played as - the issue for Zac is that his body isn't as 'robust' as Zorko so he ends up on the wing and the forwardline.
 
Hi guys, thanks for having me. Have a quick question.

WTH is going on with blake Acres was he always a butcher? My god he cannot hit a regulation target. It's a shame becuase other than that he really can play!

Yeah always. Pulls off some stunners but they are the anomaly.

The jokes on our board were always about his kicks going higher than they did forward, he was asked about it once and said he liked kicking them that high, worked occasionally with Lobb in the forward line, but more often than not resulted in a pack of 6 players leaping for it and it going to ground.

Why do you think Freo let him go so easily?

He could probably hit the roof at Marvel.

His nickname at the club was the Sherriff & a Freo podcast started call him the snow sheriff because when he kicks it, it comes down with snow on it.

I assumed Carlton knew this and thought he’d be good for your twin towers.
 
Talks on hold with Liam Henry according to inside trading


So probably an end of year deal for him (or trade)
Once Treacy (and maybe Worner) is done we're probably done with re-signing guys out of contract this year for a couple of months.

Henry, Sturt, Reidy, Kuek, Stanley, Hamling, Wilson, Colyer, Benning are probably decisions for later in the year tbh even if those decisions are 80/90% made in some circumstances. Basically what I'm saying is things can change based off what's about to happen in trade period and/or onfield performances.

We're more likely to see guys already contracted for next year extend from now to late August. Not a bad spot to be in.

The first two names in your list are running out of chances to make an impact and show they worth resigning.

Personally I’d re-sign Sturt for a year but let Henry shop himself around for trade and at best get a pick upgrade or F3 pick.

Buller debuting for swans 👀


I'm getting Darcy Cameron vibes

as someone that is actually becoming somewhat used to the idea that we will be contending over the next two years, I personally would like to maintain some level of this thing other good teams have that is defined as "depth", so that when we have injuries, we are not playing a F3 18 yo in a crucial big game. But I understand that's just me and that F3 might become a future Brownlow medalist in 8 years time, though for another club, so it turns out it was a good pick.

Sturts already shown enough
 
Those comments from the Carlton poster about Acres and his kicking is funny. Old dog new tricks - yeh nah get used to the high and long kicks.

We do miss the run and carry along the wing. Developing other options whilst suffering short term pain will hold us well for future.

Unfortunately after promising pre-season and first couple of games Henry has been a disappointment. Hughes also better back to his role in backline. NOD needs a good pre-season and Stanley/ Worner good for developing roles. A more experienced pick-up would be handy but for mine I’m not convinced Sharpe is any better a prospect than Henry.
