Better Loosen Up
Brownlow Medallist
Freo have picks 9,10 and 14. What are people's thoughts on trading pick 1 for 9, 10 and 14. Would Freo do that? Would NM do that?
Probably means we miss out on both Smillie and Trainor so probably not.

Mods, please merge
Our kits look really good and have improved over the past few years.I have been racking my brain for one of thems positives you all speak of.
I blardy got one.
Stephenson is out of contract end of next year!!!.
Actually there's 16. The good news just keeps on coming!Right now it’s so easy to feed into all the negativity that surrounds Nth. But I’m a glass half full kind of guy and onboard with Clarko’s “stay the course” narrative. We are 7 ( terrible) games into the season. There’s 17 more to go. We finish the season with: Tigs, WC, Dogs and Hawks. At some point this season with continuity of selection and availability we will gel as a team and the coaching and plan will become evident. Any trade/ draft talk has to be put aside for now. Logue and Dawson(Kallan) will be critical to our team performance and coming home with a wet sail is entirely possible. Injuries to important structural players right now is also killing us. Dawson, Goater, Logue, Ford, and CCJ. A West Coast style revival is certainly a possibility this year.
But our senior players are for the tip.There's plenty of positives.
We played 5 teenagers on the weekend (6 if you count Drury who turned 20 in January), and although Drury was down, the other 5 showed they belong at the level (from the brilliant Marstermind, we know the the last time we played 5 teenagers was 34 years ago, and we lost by 95).
Sheezel and Wardlaw rank 1 and 2 for their age; Powell #4 for his age
Paul Curtis had his first serious exposure in the centre, and showed that he could cut it
Xerri continues to develop manfully, ranks 3rd for hitouts, 1st for tackles by a ruck, 2nd for centre clearances for a ruck
Tom Powell and LDU both rank in the top 20 for centre clearances
There's silver linings if you look for them
Wrong thread, mate. Every other thread is for this.But our senior players are for the tip.
Simpkin(overrated/gone anyway)

Top 20 for CC sounds better than it really is. It's only slightly better than being Top 20 for hitouts as a ruckman.There's plenty of positives.

good work, enjoyI'm coming to Aus in July and I know we are going to get belted but I will see as many games as I possibly can. I want to see Duursma, Curtis and Comben (and hopefully Maley) fly for their marks. I want to see Sheezel, LDU and McKercher breaking ankles and hitting Larkey and Zhurhaar lace-out. I want to hear big X and Archer hitting bodies and Biggie smacking the ball over the boundary. I want to see Wardlaw doing his thing and getting the ball out to Powell and the runners. I want to see Dawson and Logue and Hardeman working as a unit.
I really want to see Simpkin and McDonald playing good footy.
