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

If we can turn Hamling into pick 25, I'll have Sumich in my avatar for the next 12 months.
And if we didn't take pick 25 for a 30 year old depth KPD I'm never attending a Freo game again.

There's about as much of that happening as me starting in the ruck for Freo round one next year (I'm barely over 6-foot and am not any good at playing footy).

Melbourne could do with Taberner
Hope Tabs is encouraged to explore his options. Firstly because he's probably depth and backup now for us, secondly, as a Victorian, he's been bloody loyal to us and I don't think anyone would begrudge him an opportunity elsewhere even if it's a slim chance given his history of not getting on the park.

Don’t sell yourself short, you’d still fit the Eagles player criteria.

In hindsight that huge six year contract to Fyfe in 2017 really messed up our salary cap balance. Seems like they backloaded it too.
According to reports the biggest part of his salary was in the first part of the contact.
No way it was backloaded, at least not through the middle years when we fell off the cliff and gutted the list. We had to pay someone.
Yes. In fact what was reported at the time was that he received a signing on bonus that made up part of the reported overall signing. The AFL also paid part of the salary to market the AFL in WA.
 
Fair enough. I was positive I'd seen at the time a quote either from Hogan or from his manager saying he was going to GWS on a new contract, but I can't track anything down, so I'll go with this version.
At the end of the day Bell/JL wanted him and his salary gone. Whilst Bell was in the current role when Hogan was traded the main responsible party seeing Hogan join Freo was Rosich.
 
Losing Cox would be just ****ed.
People thinking this would be anyway positive are deluded.
Apparently freo are many years from competing (feeder club?) while the Hawks who are younger than us are aggressively in the market for prime 26 year old big money players like McKay and Ratugolea.
I swear some people on here have some perverse liking for that fact that we are perennially one of the youngest teams in the comp.

I get the same with people wanting to trade Darcy. We can't keep trading top 10 talent at the club that we spent years developing just because the opportunity comes up. I don't care who we can get in return.

Besides turning Cox into Curtin/Young, can't think of any other benefits there would be.

I swear I long for the day we have a top 5 oldest list in the comp. I sometimes wonder will it ever happen.
At least if we were a mature side with men, instead of boys, we might actually be relevant again in the comp.
 
I very much hope to hear soon that Hamling has signed a new 2 year contract. I actually don't understand why we haven't re-signed him yet. He's very much a required player in my eyes.

Clubs are coming for him, or so the rumour mill says. I'm going to scream if we lose more quality experience by trying to penny pinch of offer 1 year deals when some of the dross who will never play consistently at AFL level have been given 2 year deals.

"Port Adelaide's Tom Clurey is open to a trade despite having two years to run on his contract, while Adelaide youngster James Borlase is yet to receive a deal from the Crows and has attracted rival interest. The Crows are looking at Gold Coast tall Chris Burgess in a trade, potentially to play key defence, while Fremantle free agent Joel Hamling is also of interest to clubs seeking key backs."

 
Is anyone confident with this current team mgt?
I reckon there are easily 8 mgt structures better than us in the AFL now.
I don't rate Longmuir, Bell is hit and miss, The ex Prez is a good builder, don't know about the new bloke.
Garlick and Walls are the diamonds, and we could lose Garlick to the Toast!

I don't think anyone thinks it is positive do they?

We did. In 2007-09. It wasn’t pretty 😂
 
Interesting that Clarko is in town…he could be here to watch Daniel Curtin…or it could be to see someone else 👀
Why anyone would want to play for him I don’t understand. The allegations aside, he hasn’t been a good coach for over 5 years now. Can’t see why Darcy would want to go there. Seems to be a competitive guy who wants success. No way North is a more attractive prospect for him.
