Weekend Wrap and "Liked, Learned, Hated" right here -- How did tipping go?
Taylor's spot will be at risk from Draper next year you'd think, is he even in the team once Rach is back?
Berry going forward if Draper comes on?Yeah feels like he goes out for Rash. Cook’s overtaken him for that wing/fwd spot now, too
Lots of teams have a bull and Berry provides muscle and grunt to our stoppages. Berry this week for example, will be good on Newcombe.Berry going forward if Draper comes on?
Both of Pedlar and Taylor will become depth?
I agreeLots of teams have a bull and Berry provides muscle and grunt to our stoppages. Berry this week for example, will be good on Newcombe.
I'm liking Sam circa 2025.
If Draper comes on and plays full mid minutes next year, I would be happy to release Dawson and let him follow the play wherever he wants.

Here's the most notable trades over the last 5 years and the cost to do it (picks beyond 40 are ignored). It's all just draft picks and fringe players. If NWM nominates us there is zero chance we are trading out Rachele.

Yeah, the talk of a player like Rash is nuts anyways. I honestly think if the Saints got two picks and Butts they have gotten a decent deal.

True.NWM is UNCONTRACTED at this point. It really does matter.
Normally if you trade your 1st you can’t trade other picks in that yearRealistically the Saints won’t be getting full value if they lose him either way.
We likely don’t have a top 10 pick to give, let alone 2 and Port have handed over this years first already.
I’d say we’re going to have to put up our next two firsts and seconds if we were to get it done, plus maybe a fringe guy if that player is interested in a move.
I pretty much agree with this - the only thing I'd do differently is MAYBE keep Burgess as a rookie (it's good CHEAP backup in a difficult position to find depth), and I'd redraft Bond as a rookie. If he's not tradable, I'd move Sholl to rookie list as well, so we have more main list draft spots than rookie draft spots.My guess:
Retire: Smith
De-list: Strachan, Schoenberg, Murphy, Burgess
Re-sign: Taylor (2 years), Walker (1 year, I reckon he may retire if we get a flag though), Bond (1 year, however wouldn’t be surprised if he gets another offer and we end up trading), Gallagher (I know nothing of him but assume a cat B will stay on)
Crouch is then the big question. I think he’s probably at the end of his time with us but it’s looked that way before, I would imagine West Coast would probably look at him if he wants consistent AFL footy, but I also get the vibe he’s content to play SANFL if he has to.

Wow, Carlton should be way better if they have that list profile.Interesting analysis.
We only have 15% of players in the 30+ category.
Pies, Saints & Blues all have around 40%, so they may struggle to replenish their older players. Blues probably in most hurt. Pies have more depth. Saints older players indict think are as good.
Much like Crouch... I don't think clubs will pay that much. We might get a second rounder for them + a 3rd rounder. E.g. we can do a pick upgrade.Surely Sholl has some trade currency. If we delist him I reckon he gets snapped up somewhere else
Yeah I agree, Sholl would probably only get a 3rd rounder backMuch like Crouch... I don't think clubs will pay that much. We might get a second rounder for them + a 3rd rounder. E.g. we can do a pick upgrade.
Probably worth doing for both, if it means they get to be in a best 22 on some team and we get something for it.

Yeah I think what’s even more promising about this graph for us is that player ratings underrate defenders. To look this good without fair recognition of young guns like Max, Worrell, and Murray/Butts is great.The absolutely wild thing with this is you can see the Dan Curtin impact. 9% of our total player ratings come from the 18-21 group of which, only three players eligible who have played this year. Draper has barely contributed and Max isn't a players ratings kind of performer.

Rioli, Bolton, Houston, JHF, Treloar contractedWere all traded as uncontracted?
And while he has been world beating recently, 3 months ago he was just a very good half back flank. Is this just the purplest of patches?NWM is UNCONTRACTED at this point. It really does matter.
That all changed when he proved he's a legitimate A grade midfielder.And while he has been world beating recently, 3 months ago he was just a very good half back flank. Is this just the purplest of patches?

Talk of getting anything for Sholl is laughable - he walks for free is anyone wants him - pick 60
I'd be happy for him to land a new a club
Sam McClure stating Matthew Nicks privately called Sam Draper and said he has a role for us big time if he comes here, (I don't believe it) but who knows?
