Agreed, whole pathway needs to be redone. Dennis with a rookie pick would be a great get but may go late in the ND. Freo will take Champion before 40.

Of course they will, can't help themselves.

Was just thinking about the travesty that Reid and Nic Nat didn’t get to play together. Man, that would’ve been something.

Two no 9s on the field for one team at the same time might've caused a time paradox.

Spoken like an insider.

Still waiting for JD and BBW to go down with there groin issues.

When Williams goes down we can just bring in Ramsden to replace him.

Think I’ve mentioned this on here before but I’d definitely be asking the question of taking Jack Macrae big contract off bulldogs hands which I think would release cap pressure that they have and maybe if Busslinger mentions he wants to go home it makes that trade a little easier. 24 and F2 for them and 28. Added bonus to that would be trying to get Macrae brother from Collingwood

Rather just trade an F2 for Buss

Nic Nat might not be happy about having to relinquish the #9.....

Natas only travesty was no GF ...

I think this option only stacks up for us if we get a pick bump, of any kind coming our way due it being a bowes style salary dump. He's too old to really be much use for us and we should in general be using our salary space to get younger FA's or attract other juniors.

im still waiting for clay to increase his arm size so he can get a gig in the afl midifled.

Can't say I blame him tbh, with his social media profile he could probably earn 5x what he would with an AFL career and not have to worry about dodging drug tests.

How good would that be!!!

Maybe because he’s a 3 time premiership player and able to offer defensive side to our young and inconsistent midfield once Yeo goes. He’s 26, the exact age range we lack. He’s not a world beater but he and baker will go a long way to making sure we don’t revisit the rabble we were for the past two years.

Yeo, Sheed, Kelly, Gaff, Duggen- yep definitely a shortage of senior mids

I think his arguement is that we need more experienced mids in the 24-28 age range. Of that lot only Duggan fits the profile. Sheed and Gaff arent B22 players anymore so their main contribution to the youngsters would be their professionalism.

I’d want no F2 added to that deal and/or a pick dump from dogs.

Plus McCrae would have to realise the lay of the land at WC that means he likely plays reserves behind players whose AFL output is slightly below expectations but who are much younger.

If it were a new contract maybe he moves, but why do it when $ are guaranteed and you may be (unlikely as it is) the sub in a premiership team with a lot of luck

I dunno if Culley is worth dumping just yet, still potential there. Id rather dump Witho tbh, he wouldnt be needed with Cumming/Perryman/Baker on the list who can do the same/similar role but better.

Culley has just returned a fortnight ago from an ACL .
I would rather give him another year extension to have an uninterrupted pre season than cut him early .

He was in our best for the 2023 pre season period and looked a lock to play in afl all season . He had a breakout game 4 goals and rising star nomination before his injury.

I would love to see him own that inside mid role at wafl level for the rest of the season

 

[noobermensch]

Luke Cotellessa is a talented young mid from WA building his case as a draft fancy for 2024. His reaction speed and anticipation at stoppage allows him to get first hands on the footy, and his agility and first step gives him the space to get a clean disposal away. On the outside, Luke has strong foot skills and the poise to make excellent decisions with ball in hand.

If theres no chance Chesser gets a run as an inside mid at WAFL level, yeah id throw Culley in the guts there for the year and use him to give Yeo/Kelly/Reid rests/cover injuries at stages. If he plays 3-4 AFL games and the rest WAFL thatd be fine imo.

I dont think theres a future for him in our forward line anymore tbh, our fwd line is reasonably strong. Its inside mid or bust I think

Sheed is an excellent finger pointer, really sets the standard as far as I’m concerned.

Still getting over his effort at the SCG last year

Just think what the margin could have been without him out on the field.

Yeo,Kelly,- yep definitely a shortage of senior mids

Fixed it for you.
Fn seriously...sheed, gaff

 

[Farang83150]

Sheed is an excellent finger pointer, really sets the standard as far as I’m concerned.

Can't be counted on to go in and stick up for team mates as well!

‘It’s on his desk’: Yeo has offer from Eagles, says Simpson

West Coast coach Adam Simpson says there’s a contract on the table for star Elliot Yeo ahead of his 200th game against Essendon on Saturday.

Don’t know if someone can post this but sounds pretty positive for Yeo re-signing.
