Just spoke to a very close source to the Serongs.

Jai Serong was offered a role on the wing, occasionally in the backline. Sydney offered more money and a spot in the backline.

Caleb excited to his future partnership with Murphy Reid in the middle.
Money was the tipping point. Wonder what the contract was ?

I've noticed on social media Serong has taken Reid under his wing, they're always hanging out together with their partners and the Brayshaws. Seems like Reid is staying in Perth for at least a chunk of this off season too, possibly the whole time. Really good signs
 
He’s pretty short for a “tall”. 192cm.
Wing would’ve fit him perfectly.

I agree, but the wing role at AFL objectively sucks. It's like playing fat side half forward except more running. You'll be exhausted after the game running 16km and touching it maybe 15 times where as in the backline you might stay on the park all game, 100% TOG, but you can get 20 touches and run 10-12km instead with the whole field ahead of you.

Reid will be the difference in our midfield from very good to great.
Brayshaw & Serong & Young is the scaffolding, Erasmus is the blunt object, Jackson the wildcard and Reid the glue.
He sees things quicker than most & his hands are golden.

Wonder if he will bulk up. Feel like if he puts on size he wouldn’t be as quick. May be wrong though.

It’s another East Freo lad on the list. The more we add, the closer we are to a flag.

White flag the council have to fly over your oval redevelopment orrrr?

It would be an interesting play.

I wonder: does the offer from Adelaide need to be disclosed prior to the PSD?

Because were given **** all, so taking him for two years could be a get us over the line thing.
I can't see how he gets past WC through the PSD. They need all the help they can get so would be crazy to pass on him.

I'd definitely be taking him if they pass though unless he has some sort of crazy contract that we don't want to piss other players off picking up.

I reckon when it all pans out, despite the throwing away of a pick, getting McVee in, Ah Chee for free (excluding the $$$$) and retaining first round pick isn't all too bad an off season. quite shrewd really.

p.s I am not a crackpot
 
Well if clubs are trying to take back trading power from the players someone other than Adelaide grabbing Ah Chee would definitely make a statement.

Won't happen though.
 
Makes me think that if the offer was just a wing role and closer to the Swans money he would be playing for the Dockers.

My source was very disappointed that Jai wasn’t going to the Dockers.

McVee coming across meant it would be difficult to fit him in the backline.

I rate Jai's kicking so I think we should have tried harder to get him, but McVee is a very good player.
