I'm curious if Hobbs could be developed into something else at a club that has actual...well, development capabilities. Or is he a case of Dev Robertson where he hit his ceiling early and the game has gone past him?

(I'm not curious enough to want it to be our club tho)

Think Dev Robertson is just behind better mids tbh.

Is he a superstar? Absolutely not.

Is he better than some of the hacks getting games at shite teams? Probably.

Wouldn't have been against him as depth if Erasmus had left. Think West Coast is the right place for him though.

 

[FreoRicci]

Plodders and has-beens? Yeah that tracks with West Coasts list management

If they get mature ages that can protect and scrap Reid, Hewitt, that would go a long way in their development and success.
Phillips, Hobbs, Clohesy would step straight into the team. Not a bad thing. Clohesy is a decent player.

 

[Alfonz]

We do not need to bring in reject small mids from other clubs. Phillips, Hobbs, Clohesy ... no thanks.

It's only really Fyfe we are losing from the midfield. Brodie, Aish and Narkle were surplus to requirements. And I would consider McVee to be taking Banfield's spot, and then Banfield becomes a depth mid replacement for Fyfe. I would view Simpson, Walker, Wagner, Chapman, Worner, NOD, JOM, Sharp, Banfield as fighting for 5 spots in midfield/defence rotations and I think that is reasonable cover. At least it is better cover than we have for small/medium forwards.

If we are looking at discards from other clubs to trial in the pre-season, I'd think about Oskar Smartt and/or Eddie Ford. A small and medium forward option. I think Ford has a lot of talent and might get some interest.

Good call on Eddie Ford, he's shown that he can play but hard to tell with North players..

Let me mock West Coast in peace please

Not sure if Hobbs or Phillips get a game for West Coast unless the likes of Kelly, Yeo etc. are not playing tbh.

I'd go after the bigger bodied, more battle hardened guys if I were West Coast. Robertson is a good start at that if you're looking at delisted players.

Yeo playing

Yeo playing

he's probably quite good at uno

Binns at Carlton is worth a train on. Winger, won the VFL best and fairest in 2023 and only 21.

Binns?

Can't kick so he is useless as a winger

People on here didn't like Langdon/Acres and Binns makes them look like Hayden Young

Can't kick + is short + is a bit squibby in the contest. Don't think he's crazy zippy either but that's lower down on the list. Can't be bad at all of those things on the wing (there's a reason when in doubt we stick someone ~190cm there).

If he works on the ground ball and contest side of his game (a lot), he's probably closer to making it as a fwd than a winger tbh.

Be just the thing to **** Carlton but also give both Gold Coast and Brisbane freebies.

 

[Taylor]

That's a wonderful bit of negotiation. Carlton have #9 and #11.

Offering #2, #34 and #41 to Carlton for #9, #11 so they can have four picks inside the top twenty.

Then Carlton bid on all the academy players at #2, then #3, then #4 and burn the place down.

No Carlton, don't bid on Whan at pick 2!

[theGav56]

They would have to really want Whan for that to happen. This would not be a Henry situation.

9 and 11 shouldn't get 2 by itself, let alone with the picks to satisfy the dean bid


Carlton would be all over that deal

If WC offered up #2, #41, F2. then it would be for #9, #11 and a F1st(2027).

 

[Taylor]

Carlton can't trade their future first when they have a father son potentially going #1 and the new rule requiring just two picks used to match.

 

[Suma Says]

Pretty sure I heard that Essendon had offered their top two picks for Pick 1. If West Coast were looking for more top picks thatd be the move I reckon.

Would leave them with 2, 5, 6 and 13.
Imagine how much damage they could do with that draft hand.

Not even Matt Clarke could whiff on all of those picks. Although....

If I'm West Coast I'm just going to the draft and taking the two most talented young players in the comp. Why **** around with sliding backwards?

In response to people suggesting they should trade pick 2 for 9 and 11.

2, 5, 6, 13 is better than 1, 9, 11, 13.

Entirety of my point (with a little dig thrown in for good measure)

Could just take 1, 2, and 13 though.

Get Duursma, Duff-Tytler, and best of whoever is at 13 (Farrow, Lindsay, Phillipou, Marsh, etc.) and you're set up.

Otherwise you're trying to find the players who slipped down the order in a weak draft when you could just pick the best two out of the gate and leave everyone else sorting through the mess of academy and F/S.

 

[Taylor]

If the talent level in this draft is the same in the first ten then having the extra one of them might be worth letting a few past after you've taken one of the best two.
