Still hanging on.I keep forgetting that fu**in' Conca is still on an AFL list
An old mate of mine whose very footy astute reckons word for word the same. He will be bid on early.Freo are about to draft a player better than Bennell in ability and minus the attitude in Liam Henry ..
You're thinking of mitch georgiadesIsn't Garcia a medium forward? Wouldn't have thought that a type of player we need.
Monocle,!
So mate this draft looks like a very different one for us. Late picks and rookies so not much point looking at the top 40 prospects.
Have you had the time to digest the draft hand we have left and what to do.
IMO we should be looking at a few different strategies withplayer who have had early set backs but have improved.
Rucks - let have a look around at those guys who are in their early 20's who have been building up after either a late start or injury set back who now are on a decent incline of improvement.
Ex AFL youngsters. Can we find the next Menagola? Thiughts on Mitch Hibberd the Tassie lad cut by Norths a year or two ago. Reports he is really lifted his endurance and stregnth and getting plenty of ball as a 190cm inside mid. 23 years old.
Surely there is a semi mature ager in the WAFL who has shown at that level they have the traits. Who is the next Kelly or Picket?
Look North and see if another small indigenous forward is on the up. We have out NnGA kids as well.
Do we look at a cheap depth top up such as Newes from the Saints or dare I say Murray delisted by Collingwood.
With picks this low do we need to take more risk to get a reward?
Exactly how I'm thinking with our picks now bar Murray. Could add some dash to the backline, but I just don't see us getting in Murray after what has happened with Willie.Monocle,!

Because we've completely paused our youth intake for 2 years..
We've gone ALL-IN on winning a flag in the next 4-5 years.
But if we dont we have busted and cant buy back in for a number of years.
Don't think for 1 second I'm upset that we have Tim Kelly.
But we've paid a king's ransom for a single player who has 5 or so years of elite football left.
Now when grandpa Keys talks about old, he knows a lot about the subject so I take him seriously.Dark Sharks jokes are so old, joking about how old and repetitive they are has become old and repetitive
I saw him play mid so relaxIsn't Garcia a medium forward? Wouldn't have thought that a type of player we need.

What are your thoughts AsterixTheGaul ?I saw him play mid so relax
Or let someone jump early and overpay. Either way....We’re going to need to send him on a camping trip at this rate
They're probably too young for that keys.I have this image of pots and kettles calling each other names all of a sudden
I saw Tim today at the park (with his kids so i left him alone) I have never seen a bigger group of relieved people just hanging out enjoying their day
well I, and others it seems, have taken it to mean that a group of senior players have taken less cash than they could've demanded in preparation to be in a position to get another top line player.
Seemed very relevant to the discussion, but if you say it means nothing...
That's not true, we've made it harder to pick quality sure, but not by that much to say we're out of the next two drafts.
We paid 14&24 from this year, that's two players (one balanced by Kelly coming in)
With 52 most likely dropping some places due to academy bid points, there's some sort of chance we'll get the same player (or around the same quality) at that pick that we would have with 33 in any case.
And next year we've lost one 1st (hopefully 18) and gained Geelong's 3rd (around 45), and we still have our 2nd and 3rd.
It doesn't feel all that bad a position to me considering what we gained.
Hibberd is a much improved player, has put on some size and has moved from being a flanker to inside bull.Monocle,!
