Nothing is set in stone. Seven players from the 2017 SF didn't play in the 2018 GF.

We debuted 9 players this year, if you include Ah Chee who is ex-Port.

Ignoring injury it is feasible that our best 22 at stages next year could be missing half a dozen players from the 2018 flag side.

Ok, in that case you're right. Although for balance you may replace LeCras with Masten or Sheed.

From memory, Sheed was only selected when Gaff was suspended.
Surely Sheed has a job for life now. Never to be dropped again.

Will never have to buy a beer in Perth again either.

Correct I am not, but 99% of the football world are irrelevant, including you and I.

You could start a Kelly vs Brander poll and 99% of people would probably say Kelly which is fair enough. Most people who don't support WC have probably never heard of Brander.

But the people responsible for WC list management picked Brander and Allen last year as part of a strategy knowing that Kennedy is 31 and Darling 26. That counts for a fair bit and they are the ones looking at trade options for Kelly.
Right so they rated him and 13 and let’s say he’s at least worth that still now with a year of development..........but as a player he’s value is still more than Kelly. Don’t even dare question it according to you. Let it sink in according to you.

What do you reckon the mathematical odds of you creaming that trade in a head to head would be?? 70-30%.

Look that is geelong’s right. But I think consequences will be far greater because Geelong fans have turned and started abusing Kelly’s wife.
It is appalling that a few idiot Geelong supporters are doing this, but please don’t pretend it is only Geelong supporters do this. I guarantee every club has idiot supporters that do this

If Sheppard, Gaff and Kelly are in the best 22, who misses from the gf team. Venables, LeCras and Schofield ????
LeCras may retire.

Out of contract, free agent and still is going to have surgery.

If he stays on I'm guessing it will be a leadership role and to play deep forward pocket on the understanding we need to play some of the younger guys.

The **** are you on about?

His 2018 value is irrelevant because he's not up for trade. He's not a bargaining chip or currency or any other descriptor. He's just a player on our list that we drafted last year. We picked him at 13 because we rate him. We contracted him beyond his initial two years because we rate him. If you do/don't that's cool.

I know that.

But my point is imagine what her life in Geelong will be for the next year if Geelong don’t trade and Kelly doesn’t extend. Geelong fans already know it’s the wife.

You don’t need a lot of people to do it but if she goes to shops and if she cops the abuse such as on Facebook this thing will get out of control.

and no doubt it will involve some racial words-because that’s just how people are Geelong or otherwise.

Anyone don't think it will be pick 19 + 20 for Kelly + 2nd rounder

Seems obvious in reality

If prefer it be 20 and Brander myself
Where are you getting 19 and 20 from? Also our second is prob around 28-30 next year so yeah what a trade that is. Assuming you get pick 20 for Lycett we get that and a 4-5 pick slide. I’m in

Freo may not be the preferred destination but they aren't totally out of the discussion.

But are they really going to put up a better trade offer than WC?

I'm not seeing a litany of juicy trade offers from Freo fans. They've laughed off pick 5 and their next pick isn't until 60 or 70. If they get 22 from Brisbane then that's no better than the picks we have.

Look I'm not getting in the bitchy some of you are going .
Just putting a scenario here, let's just say Cats and Eagles don't work out with a agreement, surely if you are home sick, you would be keen to go to Freo if the cats and Freo can work out a deal?
