[jdisc]

dont get the rationale behind letting barrass go and then chasing Starcevich

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Starchevich is 4yrs younger than Barrass and plays a different role?

 

[ArdentEagle]

They will already be planning around that with Zac Bailey getting huge offers as a free agent. Doubt they budge much on their current offer.

I pick up what you're putting down but I'd also argue they have more ZB/role replacements than Starc .

I'm not saying he's a superior player but he's super important to their structure and I don't they they have many that could cover him.

It must be nice to have an academy to keep feeding the club

who's better, so I reckon Starcevich goes in the bin now.

 

[fullbull]

Hutch got 4 and Starcevich is a much better player so he has to get 6

It may be splitting hairs, but this continues to be misreported. It was 3 years, not 4. He was just contracted for 2026. It’s like saying Harley got a 3 year extension. He only got 2, but we have him for 3 more years.

Did he get a one year extension early on?

 

[Keys]

Did he get a one year extension early on?

It’s a total mystery

Original 18 month contract when he was drafted mid 2024 expired end of 2025, but when the extension was announced it was said he had a contract to 2026

There’s no official announcement of an extension from 2025 to 2026 that I can find anywhere

 

[maverick001]

Watch us get an end of R1 priority o pick but then actually use the hawks pick for Starcevich

 

[maverick001]

I’m fine with Starcevich offer.
He likely commands $700k at Brisbane. So any team getting him out of there needs to Pat at least $800k. Us offering an extra $100k over that to get him here is fine given how awful we are and also given we won’t be paying our full cap anyhow

What is a major concern though is that we pretty much only have 2 good AFL players who aren’t defenders - Waterman and Harley. Hewett and Shanahan not at that point yet. So we’re still going have diabolical forward line, mids and ruck.

= much much pain to come still next year

 

[Altum Volantes]

dont get the rationale behind letting barrass go and then chasing Starcevich

....because Barrass was trying to bail on the club for 2 years so he didn't have to finish his career in a rebuild?

He quit on us and ran to greener pastures.

Well I guess it's going to help get some better defenders too then - they are going to be busy.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Just take sharp. Inside bull ball extractors will always have a place in this game.

Answerth can come in and play that role. They are also chasing Budarick and Ridley

 

[Lazzas]

Watching the footy I can see why the Eagles took Masten over Dangerfield. It's part of a future plan for 2025 better draft pick

 

[BartBart]

At least our other 1st round draft pick is now locked in at 15 before the many, many pushbacks.

 

[neng]

I don't watch many Brisbane games and when I do I can't say I ever paid attention to him. But statistically, Cole is better than Starcevich in just about every area, including disposal efficiency & effective disposals. Clangers are identical.

So apart from Goroyals22 explaining that Starcevich is a better footballer purely on the grounds that I don't watch enough football, I would like to know how he's an upgrade on Cole?


View attachment 2430554

And this is where stats lie. Go rewatch the 2024 Grand Final as an example of the quality that is Starcevich.

 

[ziad]

Barrass walked. Turd

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

For what it’s worth a bunch of spuds and decent players were picked between Masten and Dangerfield.

I’ll also sign on to Team Masten - he was never the superstar you’re hoping to get when you draft that early, but he was a very solid 200+ game player who filled an important role for many years and was part of a premiership side. Sure we would have all loved to end up with a Dusty Martin or a Hugh McCluggage

Ha, but Danger would have let as he did from the Crows.

 

[Barrybran]

So tonight was another 'get the best midfielders' game, right? Although Blicavs was pretty good as well.

 

[uncleoatmeal]

Butler being subbed off in his last game hopefully puts a sour taste in his mouth.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Watching the footy I can see why the Eagles took Masten over Dangerfield. It's part of a future plan for 2025 better draft pick

Fun fact: Dangerfield was considered a bolter when Adelaide took him at 10.

 

[Peptide Pig]

Petracca is an interesting one. Outside of the stuff around his personal brand, he is a perfect candidate to come across - premiership player, twilight of his career, plays a position of need, would be a good mentor for Reid and Hewett, worked with Mini, and we can swallow his contract.

Petracca’s trade value is the curious part. He’s well past his prime but not old enough to be in the discount bin like the value we would be hoping to get for Neale. It feels like Demons would want overs to get him out given he’s contracted until 2029 and they still see him as a gun. His contract is reported as less than $1M per year ($6-6.5M over 7 years) but peaks at $1.7M, assuming back-ended but not sure.

One of the footy shows had him and Merrett both worth two first rounders which doesn’t mean much depending on which picks in the first round.

If Merrett goes to Hawthorn then Petracca’s next choice would be interesting. Crows have publicly said they would be keen on Merrett, does this reopen the Curtin to WC conversation if the Bombers want a high pick and we can facilitate?

 

[mattyc75]

I dont mind Starcevich if he's all we're able yo get but if paying him means we can afford a Gettable mid or key back I'd much rather not

 

[Keys]

Fun fact: Dangerfield was considered a bolter when Adelaide took him at 10.

Adelaide fans were in uproar they chose Dangerfield over Ebert as well from memory

Morton, Myers and Palmer among those taken before Dangerfield. All from WA and all linked to us at some point predraft - Masten turned out the best of that group and by some margin
