We get to put some cash in the likes of Rory Atkins pocket, plus Ben you can’t question the plan, signing Brodie to big money just like 2MP and then selling them for nothing and even giving up prized picks in the process is apparently part of the 20 year master plan
we wont be getting him all hear say, having seen few WAFL games I would like to take Strom good size for CHB to the cats but we got Stengle instead as our mature age player.Says the club who is looking at picking him Up after losing Henderson
Sorry to gatecrash your board but as someone who has done some list management at grassroots level I think you guys are heading for the rocks.
It's all about the location of their academy compared to ours, GWS academy for a period of time was on the border of NSW and Victoria (Albury), so a number of their players were actually playing TAC under 18's football against other high draft prospects.
Extend Luko's and King's contract asap, and then visit the St Kilda, Adel and Port boards to see the melts. St K are already listing Ben in their best 22 for 2023 by the way ... absolutely obsessed with him. I can't see how the 2 Kings actually work in the same side but could be wrong. Nice draft hand for next year.
North did the same with the Swallows
Agree that they have some advantages but there definitely seems to be a background over talent selection going on unless you are super talented like Budarick or Bowes, there are a couple of your academy kids that shown at state level that didn't get picked up over the last couple of years , not sure what's going on but Bella is a must for you guys , local quality talls don't come too often.
4 guys that are nowhere near the best 22? You want more of those types?All year we hear about lacking experience and guys in the age bracket 25-30
we lose Harbrow
Smith
Murdoch and Holmsch
and gain Chol?
makes sense only lose 620games experience and gained 31
Yet we meant to believe they know what they’re doing, is for our best interests
#joke
So who do you propose we delist under contract and then who do we trade for?you don’t get the point…
It’s knowledge
It’s how they prepare day in and day out
How they recover and train etc
Teaching the younger generations..
just stating the point all year Dew complained we were probably to young and missing the 25-30 age group players.. and here we are
Second last day of trade period with next to no picks or list spots
I would trade Rosa for someone like Ballenden or even Cox to get cover in the ruck / key position. I would then delist Murtagh and Conroy and pick the best available out of the Sanfl / WAFL or a dfa. I would then remove the two international players and then try and see if you can make Bella and the next best academy player as a rookie b , you list is suddenly 20 percent better
I highly doubt we can afford too, we have no money.not proposing anything tbh.
Just funny how it’s got to this point after hearing the same old excuses week in week out after each big loss.
then do the opposite.
mind u
We Have dumped Brodie’s salary so can afford to delist and pay out a couple of contracts
Id assume that'd look at restructuring deals so we don't get burnt again, Touk would be in for a hefty pay daywhat did we do with Brodie’s
450k?
Blow it at toybox showgirls in the past week?
For 2023 onwards not 2022 unless they wanted to up his existing contract
