Then Sharp needs to keep the outside wing role and not change. That was an issue second half of the season that came back to bite the team. Lock in the wingers.
Enough of this JOM defensive stuff.

Yeah I don't like what we reverted to (even though we got through).

Sharp needs to improve his kicking and defensive physicality, running and positioning is fine.
NOD needs to stay fit.
JOM will most likely come out for Johnson next season.

Worner had a good year and totally improved but I do not think he should be in our starting back 6, would be interesting if he can compete on the wing, he has the running power and is already better defensively than Sharp.
Banfield should go back to being the utility.

Dockers dangle early pick in bid to secure mature talent

Fremantle is open to tabling its first pick in the 2025 draft if there was another opportunity to improve its list

Translation: We got nothing coming peeps, wrap it up

 

[Taylor]

Sharp could have been signed to quite a budget contract to have someone who isn't a teenager able to rotate through the team in the event someone with more of a dynamic game isn't available.

He has a huge tank when his body is able to run, covers a mountain of km but needs to be able to get into space to work off his opponent.

What's the requirement for first round picks again? If we trade ours it means we've only used one in a four year period?

 

[Taylor]

It's two first round picks in the four years before the current year but I think it's strictly in regards to limiting the trading of future picks. We can trade our present day first every year until the end of time.

Can seek AFL permission to seek exemption from the rule - depends on the age demographic of the list. Designed so teams can't trade their future away and expect a handout later on.

We'd be fine, given the age demographic.

. Would be literally perfect for us. Really sucks that we can't lure anyone who's not West Australian. Need to work on making our club more appealing.

Also, listening to JB we're not targetting anyone to help move the ball off half back and actually said that our scoring off half back is in a good spot. Said he wants people to help improve on our slow play lol.

I also have the opinion we don’t switch the ball enough at HB, which limits the use of the fat side winger.

 

[thistimeforsure]

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.

Once a player signs a contract the terms should remain the same even if they move clubs

Would probably solve a lot of issues in one fell swoop

That is what happens... right until the moment the trade is completed then they sign a new deal.

I expect Merrett had a front loaded deal too.

 

[BurnedScones]

Said he wants people to help improve on our slow play lol.

I don't entirely disagree actually. Feels like we're always either bombing it down the line (low risk/low reward) or trying to link up fast through the middle (high risk/high reward).

Would be nice to be able to use the switch kick with better effect and pick our way slowly through zones.

Yeah slow play like the way Bris tore us apart. Not our version of slow play in the past where we chip it around the backline for ages and then end up bombing it long to a contest anyway.

Yeah unless you can’t sign a new deal once you move and are locked into your current contract till it expires… watch these 8 year deals disappear then and it’d probably miraculously cure a lot of homesickness in the blink of an eye

I do think the distinction being made is significant though. Trades, even significant trades, can go from "not in the picture" at the start of the trade period to "done" by the end. Let alone "not in the picture" a month out. They're the exception, but an exception that nonetheless happens often enough. Not the example some would want to hear, but the JOM trade to us happened very quickly.

So it can happen, but don't hold your breath.

It's not the club. It's Perth and WA in general. The club can't make Perth into Dubai.

We used the switch kick a lot a couple of years ago. We are more direct now albeit probably not going the first option often enough.

The idiot banter from David King has permeated our narrative now with every journo..

Dockers list getting younger again?

I'll let you in on a little secret - every team is younger after draft day then before it!

 

[BurnedScones]

Yeah slow play like the way Bris tore us apart. Not our version of slow play in the past where we chip it around the backline for ages and then end up bombing it long to a contest anyway.

Exactly what I mean - slow play works if you have good kickers.

Looking forward to Cooper Simpson having a full pre-season in the backline. Looked very promising off very little preparation.

 

[malpaso]

No they aren't.

 

[FreoRicci]

A very solid player for us. Felt it was a bit harsh to banish him for the last 2 seasons.

JOM should be the one retiring, not Aish. Unfortunately for Aish he didn’t get a 4 year contract at 28 years old (which he was last year)..

Freo was one of the few clubs that didn’t attend the trade 'speed date' discussions on Tuesday, so I don't mind the move to make it known publicly that our first rounder is available for a rebuilding club. It will not only get the attention of list managers, but also players that might want to come to or return to WA. Worst case is we let Walls draft another talented youngster.

Anyways, re-signing Erasmus is enough to make this trade period a win for me.

 

[FreoGirl]

Freddy will feel like sh*t after last week - I trust him to do a lot of work in the off season. Having spoken to him at an event this year, he’s genuinely intelligent

 

[FreoGirl]

Think we end up with Farrow?

 

[Cobbler]

I can’t believe how lucky we got with Murphy Reid at our pick. Incredible fortune.

Pick 11 is awesome. There will be some talent around but we simply have more than enough youth.

Can’t believe Pickett signed that extension!
