As long as he brings Jack Silvagni with him W’DEE. He’s out of contract at the end of the season.

[olisik 4,060]

As much as we hope we look far and wide, we will more then likely end up with more Casey players on our list.

Yes Freo won’t talk for anything less

Maybe he's saying that's what Freo will want for him?

Well, I wouldn't pay it.

[dazzledavey36 54,302]

FWIW i saw this on bigfooty from someone who has good sources.

We are already in talks with Sydney! Don’t know the full details.

Also have held discussions with Nathan Freeman. I am only assuming for the mid-draft.

Is it just me or is this the most epically and deviously planned tanking ever

prelim 18

surgeries to 5000 players

bottom 4 ‘19

high draft ‘19

2020-2024 gfs

epic

I should really re search this but didn't the Eagles make the prelim or Granny the year after finishing second last and securing nic nat?

2017 - 1st pick 29 Spargo 2nd pick 31 Fritch

2018 - 1st pick 27 Tom Sparrow  2nd pick 33 James Jordan - Too early to say stuff ups.

Plenty of lemons went before Fritch and not many stars after him. I think Sparrow will be OK

Spargo & Fritch have played 50 games between them, even Freo who picked Brayshaw & Cerra have less games from their first 2 picks (picks 2 & 5) Yes I would rather have Brayshaw & Cerra but we didn't have pick  2 & 5

I want players who can kick and run.

He isn’t the sort of speedy player I’m after. He is fast like Hibbo is fast. In that he runs fast and turns it over. No thanks.

Yep. He’s terrible too. 

I haven’t updated that fave player thing in 3 years. Clearly.

Fair. Wasn’t having a go at you at all. Just really hope we don’t keep chasing the same type of players we already have enough of. 

[SPC 3,534]

Not sure who we are into, but would like to see what we would get in return for Frost, OMac, Petracca, Garlett, Hunt, ANB and Viney. 

This year will define us and we need to be ruthless. We have severely overestimated our list. 

[Demon3 2,541]

We have to take a punt on Nathan Freeman in teh Mid Season draft... its the exact time to do it.. the season is done, lets give him crack, talent cant be denied, he is now getting time on teh park and playing really well.

All good - I didn’t take it that way . Just wanted to be clear I don’t have any inside connections
