Sorry for Jones. Showed a bit in preseason 2024 before that long term concussion. then a wrist injury. 10 months ago was back on track before a trampoline accident. still only 19 years old. Hoping he is able to put together some WAFL games and have another go. cruel way to end your dream.

 

[wakojako]

I actually forgot how much potential Simpson had shown before he went down with injury:



Will be perfect off half-back next season.

 

[sumavich]

Kid's got talent. Very good user, and is quick off the mark.
He's definitely going to be a weapon

It also puts less pressure on us to get McVee. He would be nice to have but if it falls through we still have a largely untapped prospect on our list that plays the same position. Would love to see us build a rebounding game style that uses Clark, Walker and Simpson to gain territory and create scoring chains.

 

[thistimeforsure]

Sure three first rounders is great but in our current situation I'd rather have Shai Bolton and Murphy Reid than the players Richmond got. Still got a third rounder this year to come too.

I'm sure Richmond fans would prefer the three 18 year olds but wish one of them was Murphy Reid.

Win-win trade IMO.

As usual everyone just conveniently forgets we’re paying Bolton a million a year … and it’s going up apparently

Worth about half what we paid

Where the **** was the ‘ big game ‘ gun on the w/end

Just another crap trade that will look worse every year

Bit of a what if for this season, im not sure he leaves the 22 if he doesnt get injured

 

[thistimeforsure]

Forgot Gunston who they have brought in twice from other clubs (Adelaide and Brisbane). He's so old that people might forget they poached him from the Crows. For pick 24. Just emphasises the point above how they have access to players for peanuts that we will never have.

Yeah no way they are just a smarter better run organisation or anything

Just looking at where the Meek / JOM trade sits right now tells you everything you need to know

Reidy for Motlop straight swap

 

[freo_leo29]

Reidy for Motlop straight swap

I'd do it but Motlop is worth more and looks like he is Port bound

I think a team can De-Carlton him and thats coming from someone who didn't actually rate him in his draft year (was playing league at Souths but not doing much tbh)

 

[thistimeforsure]

I would argue we can get better through development. None of those teams are really going to see major improvement through that. We have 3 key forwards who all have growth in them. Young hopefully stays injury free. Jackson still has another cpuple of levels to go to. I am also not convinced Brisbane will improve all that much given they gain Allan, Draper and Ridley (probably) but lose Ah Chee and Starcevic. Ridley and Allen are not A graders and Draper is highly injury prone. GC and Hawks will likely improve somewhat but only Merrett at Hawks would significantly improve them.

Fahey delisted by GWS today would be a good option for our SSP try outs.

Lol Brisbane just totally rebuilt their midfield with top 3 picks in 3 yrs and a couple of useful pick 20 jobs and have a young KPF , HBF and Small fwd* as good as any we have on the list

* Reid is way better than Lomhan but you get the picture

No way we can complete paying 2-3 1st rounders and million dollar contracts to get blokes in …. Out drafting them is our only shot IMO

 

[thistimeforsure]

Reidy for Motlop straight swap

Best suggestion yet

 

[freo_leo29]

Our best bet of getting something out of Brodie/Reidy is to do a 3 way trade with the Blues if Port want Motlop

Might be able to upgrade to that pick 24 or something with our 2nd and something else

 

[Alfonz]

I wouldn’t mind Hart and Luke.

Hart is quite tall for a small forward and may thrive under a professional environment

Yep, I'd rather take a chance on him than Phillips, who appears to be a small vanilla mid.

Hart was playing in an atrocious Peel side. Bit hard as a forward in a side that goes 0-16 with a percentage of 46.

If you take out that freak game of 8 kicks and 8 goals from Ryda Luke, I'm not sure his stats sheet looks any better than Hart's when you consider the polar opposite teams they are playing in.

 

[thistimeforsure]

I like it.
As long as this involves an absolute ton of contested marking. The amount of almost marks he takes is crazy

Unfortunately he’ll never get much better , doesn’t have that natural timing and hitting it at its highest point ….. always trying to catch it on the way down

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Anyone watched the Brad Scott 360 interview? I find it absurd they are making such a strong stance. They threw most of his career down the drain backing a Conman for 20 years. Finally they are building correctly and that unfortunately doesnt align with Merret's timeline, it is what it is. Be big boys and move on with it

**** that. He told these managers you can't take the money without commitment.

Let's be honest anything at all for either that can be used to improve our draft day situation is a win.

A fourth rounder this year is useless because we won't it for example. Even swapping two consecutive picks in the third round could be beneficial - it probably won't make a difference who we draft but there's a slight chance.

I love it. Merret re negotiated his contract for more money. These managers signing players up long term then telling them they will be moved regardless is a joke. Clubs need to take the power back.

 

[FreoRicci]

Don't think the club would sign someone else if Sturt was going to be available 10 rounds in tbh. There's not much chance of that though.

We'll need to have our list finalised post rookie draft then we can put someone on the inactive list.

He’s not going to, though. Highly unlikely.
ACL recon end of year.

It was a ‘cute’ trade to try and offset Mundy. Has to be some interesting things that happened behind closed doors for Brodie to not play after 2022.

We actually need NBA style trading/contracts. Clubs should choose where players are traded which could really make a clubs rebuild quicker. Imagine the fun one or two season "rentals" for random players like Us getting a Petracca for 2 years before he goes back home (for argument's sake). Also clubs should be able to offer players they drafted more money than a rival club that is paid out of the cap to reward loyalty (e.g supermax)

 

[guidodp15]

Can't remember who posted it, but we should really draft Taylor. We need a long term Key defender and start planing for life after Pearce. He has Max two seasons left in him and we were lucky to scrape through with Macdonald who is old and injury prone himself. Draper and Davies aren't at the required level.
(Ryan also 29)

 

[Taylor]

I'd be content with players paid a standard deviation above the average being able to be traded without consent, and players paid below the average by let's say 10% are free agents when out of contract no matter how long they have served if they are moving to a contract above average.

Draft Taylor ….

That's what I said wasn't it?

I do remember the club not replacing Sebit Kuek though. Had the same injury as Sturt at a similar time.

They replaced Corbett and Jones but tbh there was also no chance either returned.

The Kuek example might be redundant as they had Corbett's spot available as well.

What do you call drafting four KPDs in three years?

 

[Taylor]

Not me. A mid thirties 173cm 65kg runner with joints starting to ache when it's cold is not going to be any good in the backline.
