Why would a club trade for someone about to be delisted that they can get for free?
Gov will get plenty of game time & likely to be named round 1

A pick from the 5th round on that you’re not going to use is the same as free, but creates good will with the player you want, their manager, and former club.
See Port with Brodie (pick 103) and Tiges with the already delisted Retschko (pick 99).
 
I mean strategic reasons whats stopping the Eagles from purposely bidding on Dean at 2

Eats both our picks and moves their pick 13 into a more favourable pick

This is a competition at the end of the day and we should be prepared for anything and everything
It backfires on them if we trade those picks out for more points. Their 13 moves back a real spot.
 
Absolute insanity to me that McGovern is retained.

To this point, GW and co have been making all the right moves to reset the culture of the club. Very disappointing.

I would've preferred Derksen, Frost, Phillips, Blight, or even ... Mason Cox.
I think he’s lucky based on performance, however to insinuate he’s detrimental to the club culture is drawing a long bow.
He might be fantastic around the club, only they would know.
Hence the new deal.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think we may actually trade out of this draft for points and future picks, and only take Dean and Ison in this year's ND. Load up for 2026 and 2027 for trades and picks.

It also may eliminate a bullshit pick from WCE if it was intended for them to move up the table.

Having said that, it still wouldn't be a bad haul when you also include Jagga along with Dean and Ison as first year players.
 
I think I’d probably have Fog last on the gen/small fwd pecking order.

He shouldn’t be getting a game ahead of Hayward, Ainsworth, Williams, Moir, Evans, Motlop, Cottrell, Young.
Cinc was better
 
He could possibly have been a decent midfielder but he's not a forwards arseh*le.

Agreed he is not a small forward. It may be that the coaches and list team now see Fog as midfield depth only next season. Either way IMO he is a fair way down the pecking order and shouldn’t really get a game unless we have lots of injuries. At the very least he’s a good senior VFL player. Maybe the desperation of knowing he is likely delisted at the end of the year will bring the absolute best out of him, if not he’s done.

You really think we won't bother to match it?
Nah, was being glib.

I think it’s more likely that the Eagles will try to extort us, rather than bidding at 2. Would be a genuinely massive call, given he seems to generally be rated in the 2nd half of the top 10.
It might depend on if they actually bid on Uwland/Annabel/Patterson first, which would open up more options for us to trade down for points.

I doubt they'll bid on every academy and F/S player.

That would leave a bad taste...

I think they'll go Duursma with pick 1, Uwland bid pick 2, then take Robey or CDT with pick 3.

Then the Tigers bid on Patterson and end up taking Robey/X.Taylor + Grlj.

Bombers then bid on Annable, take Cumming, then bid on Dean.

If it plays out like that, my guess at the moment would be we just match with 12, and keep 14 which slides to 18.

Which would mean that 18 in the live pool is pick 14, should be able to draft one of Dovaston/Schubert/Lindsay/Farrow

Would be a pretty solid result walking away with Dean, one of those and Ison.
 
Yeah different situations all right... he wants to go home for family reasons... which is totally reasonable and understandable unlike the Clownow having a cry... but yeah let's draft him against his will because we're in the flag window next couple years aren't we...
Ah Chee is from WA and is moving to SA for a bigger paycheck at another contender.

We were apparently one of the teams interested in him before he nominated Adelaide so I see no reason we wouldn't at least look at taking him for free in the PSD.

Been a number of players over the years who have ended up at clubs they didn't want to be and ended up having good careers there. If we could turn his head he'd be a fantastic addition to our team for 3-4 years.
