The Fox Footy crew mentioned the Barrass thing again when they did our draft review is he out of contract next season? He's a good player Barrass most of the time but sometimes his head isn't right and we concede easy goals because of him. I don't really see him leaving anyway.

They are Vic propagandists who don’t actually know anything about our team.

 

[Monocle]

Not sure about salary cap but can we sign Ben Simmons (Phiily 76ers) on as a CAT B rookie. At 211cm he'd be a good backup for NicNat

His credits in the bank are shrinking rapidly by the hours ........... that might be a Red Flag for Simpson.

Cat B is outside the salary cap (but possibly in the soft cap).

The issue might be his $40m or so salary. Put's Mutimer's over inflated contract in perspective

Also he's a massive bombers fan.... if the coffin needed a final nail!

Not sure if anyone’s suggested this trade but I wouldn’t be against us doing something like this with Brisbane.

Going off this years ladder positions.

We Give: Future First (10), 29

We Get: 14 & 18

Works out points wise that Brisbane get a surplus of pick 67. They desperately needs points next year to match Fletcher & Ashcroft. They already have a pretty stacked list so trading out of this years first round to help them out in grabbing 2 highly rated kids next year isn’t going to really set them back & they would still be getting 29/35 back from us which is a decent pick this year.

For us I think we would be backing ourselves that we won’t slide next year. There’s some great talent around from the 10 -25 mark this year and I feel like with a good haul we can really rejuvenate the list.

We would go to the draft with 10,14,18,35

10 - Johnson (Class)
14 - JVR (KPP)
18 - Sinn (Run of HBF)
35 - Sheldrick (Inside Bull) or Dittmarr/Tunstill

 

[RookiePick]

Gov Willie sets a high standard.

EFA

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Or Sandringham games of course

Lucky I live close by.

Sheldrick scored a double-page spread in this morning's West. I reckon it will spoil our chances of grabbing him with our second pick. Unless we trade for an earlier pic. I can hear Dark Shark crying uncontrollably

We really dont help ourselves do we.

Over East they run with player out injured, doesnt want to move interstate, go home risk etc.

Its all click bait bs anyway.

I'm hoping recruiters don't look the the newspaper to make drafting decisions tbh.

You are likely correct.......

Means we don’t want him. Every year we seem to leak a false player to the west who we seem to bypass.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Im going to go out on a limb and say I very much doubt any teams recruiters are basing their picks on an article in the West

 

[Bender_]

I for one base all of my life decisions on The Westrayian and PerthNow.

 

[Keys]

Dark Sharks he’ll be a top 10 pick at this rate

 

[bombard]

I think the solution here is obvious. Dark Sharks, time to hop into a tent with Sheldrick mate.

 

[JackOutback]

Dark Sharks he’ll be a top 10 pick at this rate

And the number one pick is….Angus Sheldrick.

 

[WCErevival]

Sheldrick will go to Geelong. Wells bases his draft strategy off whats posted on the WCE board

 

[Godfather32]

I think the solution here is obvious. Dark Sharks, time to hop into a tent with Sheldrick mate.

I don't think you'll get an argument from him....Sheldrick might have something to say about it though

 

[Wild Kelly]

Make sure you pull the zipper on the tent down to ~1m on exit or they will be on to you.

He’s not going anyway if he did leave our defence if done! Top 3 most important players now

 

[3agles87]

And the number one pick is….Angus Sheldrick.

Confirmed, Dark sharks is the NM list manager. sheldrick is the Best number 1 pick in 30 years and wouldn’t even trade that pick for the entire Melbourne demons list.

 

[ROO DOGG]

Just on Alex Condon in your spreadsheet here, Adam Jones was on Sportsday WA the other night and said that he was 208cm.

An “absolute monster” he reckons. Karl Langdon was flummoxed that a 16/17 year old could already be that height. Max Gawn areas at around 6’10” in the old scale.

Condon sounds too big for our little Willie.
