Oh right, I didn’t realise. I watched him play once and he was marking everything but ended up with 5 behinds or something similar. Knows how to find the ball for sure

He recently signed for 2 years with Freo last week. This thread  should be closed.

You'd have to feel for Lobb - requesting a trade 2 years in a row... must be difficult to work hard for your employer week in week out as a by-product.

I don't he signed a contract honor it. I am tired of these players who want to leave contracts early. Same applies to clubs like Collingwood.

Tarryn Thomas ✅ 

His back half of 2021 was elite once he was moved into the midfield. As classy as they come.

Really fell away in 2022 form-wise and was also dealing with some personal issues.

Hope we’re having discussions with his management as I think with a fresh start he would be a great fit for the Dees.

This came up on my FB page. We are dealing with the club that has the lowest to offer us for LJ. Where as WC have so much more in draft capital. 
 

Freo will get picks from the trade out of Acres, Logue, Lobb and Tucker. Dees should demand a top 10 pick from Freo (which they need to trade up using the Logue trade packaged with pick 13) and their 2023 1st round pick.

DubDee was talking about Ollie Henry who has asked to be traded from Collingwood to Geelong. 

This thread should not be closed.

It's a no from me on Thomas. He hits targets. Will take years to teach him to kick it over the head of BBB. 

[Demon3 2,541]

So:

OUT: Mitch Brown / Majak / Rosman / Hunt / Bedford

IN: Gundy  / Freo Picks x 1 ( 1 will be future first) so unless others.. rest will be draft haul not trade haul? 

Disappointed if that's it.

Absolutely [censored] poor. These kids all want to be pick one but play for successful club. Well that’s not how the system works. Where is the resilience? 
This guy won’t make it unless he grows up. 

Exactly what they said about Einstein, Jagger and Zuckerburg. So the kid is obviously no chance. 

[Roger Mellie 3,488]

I could live with this (needs more balancing):

Logue, Tucker to North

Thomas to Melb

Freo's first pick to Melb

Jackson to Freo

All the people sooking we aren't linked to 700 players like Essendon are every year need to get a grip. Our club does things quietly and diligently. I have no doubt there are other players we are looking at but not telling the media about.

High quality user by foot. Likes the physical stuff and was right up there in f50 tackles last year and good at winning the ball at stoppages. He and Tracc rotating between mid/fwd would be terrific.

Alternatively could play out of defence for us too.

Thomas and Langdon could practice their contact drills on the same side.

Can anyone remember if Thomas and BBB played together at 🦘and if so did they “click”?

As long as we dont stand still for another year. We Won a flag and added Luke Dunstan. We need to keep getting better players in. But i hope and think you are probably right about the club not leaking which is a very good sign.

The only thing that's clicked at Norf for 23 year years are pickle jars and bra straps.

Hi All,

We are currently courting a contracted and uncontracted player both "A Grade" Key Forwards. 

The uncontracted player is Jack Gunston

Was the contracted player McKay?

Yes but strictly talking traded in players ad proven talent.

It's hard to go to the trade and draft at the the same time unless there's a FA you want.  Look at Richmond, they're going to wipe out two drafts for Taranto and Hopper.

Go and look at his draft profile and his strengths and weaknesses and the reason he went as high as he did. 

He has smarts in spades, he just needs a defined role. 

If ANB can play half forward, Jordan and Brayshaw on a wing then I'm sure a previous number 3 draft pick can learn to play a position.

I'd have him in our midfield rotation as is anyway. He can compete with Sparrow and Harmes for that spot over summer. 

More competition for spots and lifts the standards of those he'd be competing with. 

His exposed form at AFL/VFL level is more relevant than his draft position. Just has not shown much at AFL level.

Random question, can't find the trade tracker on the afl website. Are they not doing one this year? Was, generally speaking, a pretty good way to easily keep track of movements but can only see links to the trade articles as they happen.

Yeahbdont think they're doing it this year. I'm pretty sure that's the same as thr national draft as well on draft night.

Can't see it either. The AFL site seems to have gotten rid of anything useful this year.
