Hmm, what I am walking into here 🤣
It will be interesting, we (WCE) may have the capacity to make a big play for one or both, depending on the Darling situation and that our salary cap will be looking a lot different after this season.

We may also have a top 5 draft pick… šŸ¤£šŸ™ˆ

There was the rumour about us going after English from WB, this is not altogether well received on our board. I would definitely preference McDonald first and foremost!
You would have to think WCE make a play for at least one of them - with Kennedy at the end and Darling?>?? - the timing could not be better

As for what are you walking into, for a laugh do a search of Faith's posts here and you will quickly get a feel for how well his opinion on anything is received. Also bet welchers like him are never that well received afterwards;)

We (WC) don’t make much public noise about trade targets etc, but I would be shocked if there is not an attempt for at least one of them šŸ‘

Please keep us posted brother, especially if you think your going to steal Georgiades, the lols would be hilarious.

Good luck with getting McDonald, expect Sydney to ask for three 1sts. They are that kind of Club to deal with.

We have some unfinished business with Port Power, they screwed us when Ebert when home, there is no love lost there.

As for Sydney, well their attempt at getting Barrass last off season was a bit delusional.
I have major concerns about what they would ask for McDonald, after their behaviour over Dawson, they may completely lose it if McDonald wants to go home 🤣🤣

or if you guys genuinely do have a lean year this year - it could be the Dawson situation all over again with Sydney (possible PSD threat etc) and a late 1st might be the ticket!!
 
No chance on Georgiadis or Logan, I think most see your club on the way down as well so you'll struggle to attract talent.
Your "no chance" = "odds on" in reality.

Oh damn 😭 Well that’s it then, pack it in I guess.
lol.

Going through a lean period likely means offloading some mature age talent and freeing up your salary cap. Also it's not like West Coast has a bad reputation. They've been down before and they always bounce up pretty quickly.

Yeah, I fully expect that we are entering into a ā€œleanā€ period. There will be significant change at the end of this season for sure, our salary cap will be freed up somewhat and we will likely hit the draft šŸ‘

Might have been better for you guys to not have traded in Tim Kelly? Guess you guys were in the contention mix so made sense to get him (bit like Gibbs for us) but he's now 27(?) and WCE are due for a deep rebuild. With pick 16 in 2019, you could have picked Georgiades :cry:

In hindsight and I guess time will tell… but I was all for it at the time and I think I would do it again. We did overpay, I think if we could do the deal over we may have pushed back a bit more, but sadly as a Non Victorian Club against a VFL club with the backing of the league, media and all and sundry, we needed to get the deal done, we had committed to him, it would have been a disaster if it fell through.

I am still glad we have TK, things would be even more dire at present if we didn’t.
Our inability to draft and develop midfielders meant we had to get him to try and have a chance at contending for another flag. It probably won’t come off, but he is still capable of playing some top level footy and leading the midfield through a rebuild. We just need to actually draft and develop some more midfielders now šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø We are reasonably placed with our KPP stocks, but everywhere else has issues.
In saying that, we may be making a play for McDonald/Georgiades, I am quite confident in that.

The difference in how the media treat us is huge
Been saying this for a while. If this was McLeod's kid, there would be 15 articles about how the Crows botched it, culture issues etc...

With Port, every single reference has rainbows and unicorns attached.

It would be linked to camp fallout too
