[Spirit Level]

It's why (IMO) we should be slightly biased to drafting Vic kids compared to WA kids, it's the only way to get them over.

Can always attempt to pry the WA kids back later

 

[s_wd6]

Never really knew where he'd play for us anyway. More worried about it for Caleb after his Doig speech last night. Hopefully we've got something else up our sleeves this trade period

Damn am I suddenly a massive optimist or are people reading way too much into his speech last night?

 

[Carnthedockers]

I really thought Jai Serong would have choose Freo.

I wonder what the swans promised him, that you guys didn’t!

A backline spot. Ours are full

 

[freo_leo29]

We will always overreact til the next deal has been signed

 

[PrancingPony]

Damn am I suddenly a massive optimist or are people reading way too much into his speech last night?

People are reading too much into it, we don't have anything to worry about with Serong, he genuinely strikes me as a one club player.

 

[s_wd6]

Which part made it harder? Our D50 which is on the brink of collapse or our non-existent competition of wingers?

Rampe? Melican? Wicks?

 

[David Bubb]

Damn am I suddenly a massive optimist or are people reading way too much into his speech last night?

I'm probably just being overly pessimistic. The bit about him and his partner having a difficult year off field worried me. Hopefully just me reading too much in to it

 

[s_wd6]

We have McVee coming in. Walker and Simpson are still in the seconds. You have a whole lot of midfielders who would be rotating through the wing. He made the right choice for his career no doubt.

Gary Ablett Junior seemed to me as an one club player.

Tassie will have $5m in signing bonuses which the Suns didn't have.

 

[mattis117]

Yeah he's gone because if Serong is smart, and he very much is, he'll be following the Neale playbook.

Roll my flipping eyes. You're on a roll with the same sentiment lately.

 

[_007_]

FB	Ryan	Pearce	Simpson

[Andy Brennan]

Let's just offer serong for Warner right now, I want a shiny new toy

 

[Hatchy1992]

Freo has the better brother.

 

[mattis117]

Disappointing because it would have been great to have two Serong's, but also see the logic. Could have ended up depth here just the same as Hawks.

 

[PrancingPony]

Gary Ablett Junior seemed to me as an one club player.

Tassie will have $5m in signing bonuses which the Suns didn't have.

Let's hope they use that money on players like Daicos instead then.

 

[freocuz]

Bloody Pav.

 

[Scatter]

I heard Jai didn’t come because of a beef with Caleb. Something about his mum sleeping with Caleb’s dad.

 

[s_wd6]

He elaborated on that in his press conference after the doig. Spoke about his mental challenges and how he lets football consume him, and how much he leans on his partner for support. I took "rough year" to mean from that persepctive given how he had to deal with the new tagging challenge and being shut out of games and the affect that had.

 

[eastfreo75]

Let's hope they use that money on players like Daicos instead then.

They only spend a max of $3m per year.

 

[Lach72]

A backline spot. Ours are full

 

[fnerd]

I get the sentiment for Caleb but seriously apart from the fact I believed right from the start he was very much a luxury (3rd kpd) and basically the same type of player we already have but even more athletic in Draper , if Caleb ends up hightailing it back to Victoria I highly doubt not having his brother on the list would be the deciding factor.

 

[King Huskii]

Jai would have been better than Banfield in the backline

 

[s_wd6]

Jai would have been better than Banfield in the backline

So would Walker and Simpson and McVee

 

[PrancingPony]

Jai would have been better than Banfield in the backline

In all fairness, I think McVee will be taking Banfield's spot.

 

[CapitalA]

Simpkin doesn’t move the dial enough for us to be trading 11. Gross

And there is no way in hell he will be spending majority of his time in the midfield like he wants.
