It’s behind a paywall that I’ve no interest in breaching, but I’d love to get Tim Taranto.

The days of buying those inĀ the off season are past; ask any Carlton supporter.

How is going out and buying expensive players for top 10 draft picks 'Moneyball'? What a rag of a publication.

Edit: Have just realised the whole column is called Moneyball. Still a rag.

I'll take Josh Kelly thanks.Ā  Cheers.

How about putting aside the money we might be expected to separate with for another player, using it for some intense and specialist coaching for those to whom we have issued jumpers and large salaries? There are many skills to be learned, many deficiencies to overcome, many candidates for such a process from the backline to the forward line.Ā

coniglio - free agent who is likely to stay at gw$
josh kelly - likely to stay there too
whitfield - same again

i wonder who we're targeting, if anyone

Well, if none are leaving...Ā  if allĀ pre-Agent '020' are staying home we will have to go to draft.

Ā One question 'wwsw'.Ā  How can GWS afford to keep them all ?

Jones, Lewis and Vince need replacing so I'd be looking atĀ free agents who can add some pace/skill on the wings and play through the midfield as their replacements. Jordan, Sparrow and NietschkeĀ are most likely a couple of years off playing decent consistent footy if they even get to that stage.

A decent small forward would be good as well. Are there any of those types of players available via free agency that wouldn't unbalance our pay structure? Could be difficult but not impossible.


Darcy Parish is also uncontracted this year. I know Goody was a massive fan in his junior days and even spent some time venturing doen to Geelong to watch some of his TAC cup games live.

Wouldn't that be sweet to end up with Oliver and Parish haha. He would be perfect on a wing for us.

GWS trade out high and draft in high..

the end of 2018 saw the world catch up but they gave themselves a real go at the flag.

You might ask how can a team trade out Sheils, Smith Scully and Lobb and still be a top 8 contender. They are ruthless.

We trade in but have not drafted well (best we could get but no superstars).

Make no mistake we are going for it which is what made last week so disappointing

Traded our Shiel, Lobb, and $cully - there’s upwards of $2m ($800k, $800k, $400k) off the books


Could be Zac Jones perhaps he gets to play with his brother finally. Is smart and tough running half back and can play some Mid time.

I am not sure if contracted for 2020 however he will be only 25.Ā

Watch this space - Ed Langdon from FreoĀ 

There were ā€˜jungle drums’ about him last trade season. Any substance behind them?

Freo were hell bent on not trading him last season and he was contracted.

comes out of contract at the end of this year and I know we’ve been targeting him for a few yearsĀ nowĀ

Meh.

Dododo will want 2 x first rounders for Parish, even though he's shown little beyond being a bust. Pass.

I'd throw a heap at Kelly, Cognilio or Whitfield. Or a zippy small from Richmond. WeĀ need outside speed and a small forward.Ā 


I'd look at 2 or 3 small forwards. Bedford will be interesting to see this year.Ā 

I'd also debate your point @Diamond_JimĀ that we haven't drafted in any superstars. Oliver will be one. He's already a star. In twelve months, Brayshaw will join him.Ā

That's one thing I wouldn't credit Zac with...he's not a smart footballer.

In your opinion maybe not. However he appears smarter, more skilfulĀ and possess moreĀ grunt compared to some of our players at the moment. Not naming names.

was talking about the last two years when we have traded away our picks.

Trade v draft .. both have their costs and risks.

My comment was made in reply to a question as to how GWS manage their salary cap... ie trade high value players and draft high draft picks

BTW.. I agree on Oliver and Brayshaw... they are the reason we are in the window

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. Ā We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's Ā six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.Ā
