Time for a 2023 afl trade thread (or something similar), or do we have one already?

Little bit too soon Rev.

Normally end of September.

Let’s see how we go in the Finals.

 

[Jatz]

Would think that's pretty convenient timing for Ryan to get to Hawthorn.

Assuming Brockman prefers Freo to West Coast. If not, perhaps a three way trade.

 

[Arr0w]

Brockman worst kept secret

WC bound

 

[Gethelred]

I agree Simpson is a good coach but it’s hard to argue he’s the best coach for West Coast at this point in time.
They’ve won five games in two years with a list including a dozen premiership players. Has been exposed as lacking ideas and ability to motivate
the existing list.
Reckon they could do with a different voice.

Think that's a mite unfair, as their inadequacy is both list and Covid related.

There are a number of players that simply didn't come back from the bubbles with anything resembling their prior motivation, others have just gotten older and they weren't a young list to begin with.

“I stitched him up”: Toby Greene apologises to Jacob Weitering for post-game comments

GWS captain Toby Greene has apologised to Carlton star Jacob Weitering for throwing him under the bus.

Toby is still a loose cannon, but every supporter/club would take him in a heartbeat

 

[ESKIE]

I thought his interview with Gerard this morning was good, didn’t talk in cliches was honest & measured comes across as a smart guy, refreshing
I’m bored with footballers talking in cliches ie: Dangerfield etc

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I don’t like talking about Toby but he’s an old style footballer in the same mould as Wayne Johnston or Jimmy Buckley. Capable of extraordinary skill and absolute skullduggery. A bit of a rascal.

 

[Jatz]

I mean, he's worse than a bit of a rascal. That bar fight he was in early in his career was bloody horrible.

Would love him at Carlton.

colyer & wilson delisted from freo - do we need a "thanks for your services" thread?

Actually had to Google Wilson... ah, that Wilson! Just six games in his last two years... and it was pretty big deal when he went there from GWS too, if I remember correctly.

I reckon you're a long way from the centre of the footy solar system when you're outside the best 26 at Fremantle... they named Joel Hamling in round 24, I'd genuinely forgotten that bloke was still an AFL player. Injuries or not, he has been out there with the likes of Charlie Constable on the ice-covered Pluto of the AFL. Is it even a planet? Does it matter?

not surprised you miss the odd player - how do even the full-on track-watchers keep tabs on 18 x 40 plus units?

sure but the delistings are gonna come thick and fast - wouldn't hurt to have a delistings all clubs thread would it?

I normally have the Delistings/Retirements thread up but have been too busy this week

If you lined every player in the comp up against a wall, Toby would be my first picked and I throw him the Captains Armband.

Ryan will not leave WA

All fair in love and war but he is playing old style football against guys that don't due to their discipline, which is a bit different to the old style of football where if you dished it out, you would expect it to come back with interest. Not quite the level playing field.

By Monday we'll be sitting 4th after a poor month of footy and coming up against reasonable opposition at moments in their season when they are hitting their straps: ess, are, stk. Throw in plenty of injuries which are really affecting structures and a lull in intensity, and I think we have...
