What would the club do if by the end of the season Clarry Oliver is looking for a change and wants to join his best mate Jy at North in 2025?..

Tell Jy to get different mates?

 

[ChairmanZia]

Tell him to talk to St Kilda or Essendon, we've got far more pressing needs than looking at someone like Oliver. If we're going to open the war chest then we should be looking at a KPD or KPF and possibly a small forward.

First sensible sentence on this page. We need a specialist crumbing fwd, ala bett. We need a lockdown small defender ala chris johnson ob lions. Then it's another powerhouse key fwd.

Who's on the table? Full list of 2024 free agents revealed

The AFL has confirmed its list of players that qualify for free agency in 2024

www.afl.com.au

Let's get Dangerfield and play him in the VFL, cause he's a w***er.

Yes or no?

So who would you be targeting that we would have a realistic chance of getting with our war chest.

I’d take him with a Bowes type salary dump.

I think ‘realistically’ it’s very slim pickings given where we’re at with our rebuild but I’d be enquiring about Ben Ainsworth & Blake Hardwick. Maybe Caleb Marchbank I don’t really know too much about him. Isaac Cumming would be great but I think he falls into the unrealistic category hard to see him leaving GWS.

Smart of us to keep it under wraps as well - Carlton won't know what hit em tomorrow.

on the list. Would sure up our medium/small defender situation.

Only concern with Cumming is his injury history, has had a fair few soft tissue injuries over the last 3/4 years.

If they were paying those 3 potatoes 2 mil - what are they paying their decent players

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Didn't he bust his shoulder up on the weekend just gone? The guy can't take a trick.

 

[Mordecai]

Losing Goater and CCJ to Achilles injuries is a straight loss to put list. We can't trade them, we can't play them. Were so unlucky.

 

[The Nostradamus]

We need to throw serious money at free agents to improve the list

more d graders?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Lol
That would make our team e graders if that’s your rating scale

Battle would hold down a KPD spot for the next 7 years
And Ainsworth the small forward spot

 

[scottywiper]

The loss of TT is huge. We desperately need big bodied mids and he was also a very talented player.
What a waste and what a disaster for us

 

[Harris 10]

Until we start to show some genuine improvement and win a few games we won’t be getting anything of quality through trade.

 

[The acurate one]

The loss of TT is huge.

Yes it is and so is the Phillips choice, Mahony choice, the ******* Will Walker choice.

Add in Declan ******* Watsons, let's not forget that decision.


So now we need to find replacements for Stephenson, Tucker, CCJ, TT & Pink.

And I'm not sure having pick 2 in the draft will assist us any.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

If we have cap to spare I would be using on it on some senior players that have actually been to top of the mountain. 2 year deals on good money just to help with the list balance. I would throw good money at Parker, McRae, crisp, libba. Wd need to protect these young mids or they will be done by the time they are 25.

Remarkable we've been turning over list for five years.
And at end of this year we'll face a huge cull again.
I know some will stay, but most of the following appear done or pretty unlikely to make it: TT, Taylor, Shiels, Stephenson, Tucker, CCJ, Pink, Nyoun, Drury, Greenwood, Corr, Free, Hansen Jr.
You could easily throw in a half a dozen more that we have fingers crossed on. Archer, Lazzarro, Phillips, Stephens. Comben is one more major injury away as well.
Will Zurhaar stay?
That is 19 blokes there that could potentially depart before too long.
Good lord this has been poorly managed.

 

[Passmore]

Until we start to show some genuine improvement and win a few games we won’t be getting anything of quality through trade.

All we're in the market for right now is

A. Overpaid C graders
B. Washed up players looking for a final pay day
C. Players who aren't getting a game
D. Players who are getting a game but not on their preferred position.

That's the unfortunate reality at the moment.

Start throwing money willy nilly, all you end up with are Polec and Corr types.

[muttley45]

Can both Goater and CCJ be put on the long term injury list, and allow us a pick or 2 in the mid season draft ?

I thought about starting the 2024 delisting thread, but felt it's a little early lol.
Yes I agree with;

Stephenson
Taylor
Tucker
CCJ
Pink
TT - sad as that is
Drury
Free
Hansen Jnr.

Then

Comben
Biggy
Lazzaro
Phillips
Archer
Harvey
Greenwood
Shiels
Stephens

^^^ Are all on AFL career deathwatch.

I think Cam will stay but haven't heard anything.

I just pretty much copied your post, but I really wanted to see it for myself lol.

WHo the * made these decisions. We are 2 years into a rebuild and had finished

2017 - 15th
2018 - 9th
2019 - 12th
2020 - 17th
2021 - 18th
2022 - 18th
2023 - 17th

And the draft years between 2017 - 2020 we had 25 selections across all the drafts and have the below to show for it.

1. LDU
2. Xerri
3. Scott
4.Powell
5. Ford.
