Tom Morris reporting on footy furnace st kilda offering jsos 5 years 800-850k band 1 compo. Good chance pick 9 and 10 West coast keen to trade one of there top picks for multiple picks, surely pick 2 would make port seriously consider for butters. Either way get to work austin
If you trade away both compo picks how are you getting Dean, remembering we need next year's picks for Cody?

Trade a future 2nd then so on the following year, the club need to start making things happen still have a team that could steal a flag if they are brave enough

Be too hard to get Dean and ison without at least one of these picks. We very well may need to trade back into the early 20s ourselves to have the points.

Great decision making on the fly (in terms of dodging and giving off) and decent skills outweigh speed by a mile. See Greg Williams and Pendlebury.
Good examples and fair call ... although if speed is average you'd need X-factor like those two have/had.
Players like Cerra, Motlop, Crippa (who tries to bully his way out) and get caught don't have that X-factor.

Nothing impresses me more than a Grundy tap to Warner bursting towards the Goal at Warp speed and then launches a drop punt from the 50m line that flies through for a Goal at around the same time it took Usain Bolt to run 100 metres.

A fast break out of centre hardly allows other mids any time to react... it is footy poetry at its best imo.
 
What is the point if he continually butchers the ball?

We are trying to get decent ball users into the club, let alone deal with the player we currently have with poor disposal, and the players with good disposal that are departing.

Why in the absolute sweet living bejesus would we want to recruit a 32yo, that already shafted us despite rolling out the red carpet for him, who will not improve us 1 iota?
Year in, year out we draft in kids who play less than 20 games over their career and get delisted while we watch the successful teams bring it obviously good players who can make an impact.

I'm all about targeting proven afl quality who can improve us next year while the kids are developing. He was all Australian a year ago, he is a high quality afl player, better than 80% of our list. Let's win some games mate, sick of losing
 
A player with good footskills can more than make up for a lack of leg speed….. just sayin
With the ball, yes.

Without it, no.

Watching players like Hewett, Cripps and Cerra get burnt in open transition play by better runners on the oppo team will continue eternally until we get get some players on the outside who can close space using their leg speed effectively.

This!
It hurts us big time imo

I know it won't be easy but can be done trade a couple of future picks then do the same the following year for walker, I think we have to go all in with the playing list we have and just have a decent crack got enough young talent in at the moment it won't back fire to much

When Cerra left Freo he was playing like an elite A grader.

We have all but destroyed him, it appears....

(a familiar tale sadly)
