He's out of contract so we will give you...what a 2nd rounder?, 3rd rounder? We certainly don't owe them anything. 4 Quote
JimmyGadson 3,455 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) No club will pay a first rounder for him, he has barely been playing for Freo. I still want him though. Fact of the matter is, we need a shake up. We need a more dynamic and potent list and an injection of players who can finish their work. I'd be showing Harmes, Jordan, T-Mac, Melksham, Hibberd, Smith and Tomlinson the door in order to get a couple of trades,host of new talent and keep exposing our kids. We are completely vanilla at the moment. Shut down Oliver or Trac and we wilt. Pressure us and we wilt. Whilst Collingwood treated their players the wrong way, their hard decisions look to be paying off. They are a list with realy X factor, excitement and they have such a great blend of attributes all over the field. Edited June 27, 2023 by JimmyGadson 6 Quote
Lord Travis 10,817 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Loved him in his draft year and he’s obviously talented. He’s struggled at afl level so far, but he was very good off half back on the weekend. Out of contract and hasn’t performed so shouldn’t cost much in a trade. I’d be all for getting him in as we need more players with pace and skill to compliment our one paced overly inside midfield. 2 Quote
Redleg 42,143 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 He has been playing well for a few weeks and if we want him and he wants us and especially good mate Kozzie, he will be a Demon. 1 Quote

They were one kick away from being beaten at home by the 8th team on the weekend. It’s seems flashy and exciting because they come from behind a lot, but their forward line is as much of a problem as ours, and there’s some clear weak links in their system. 6 Quote
DubDee 26,669 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 good player. Freo have a lot of good small forwards so hard to break through. I’d offer a second rounder 2 Quote

Their record since the halfway mark of last season speaks for itself. No team is unbeatable, and if you followed them I'm sure you would have noted their brigade of missing players and if Binman followed them he would probably say they're in a heavy loading phase, hence the drop off. We devised a plan to beat them at a time when they were vulnerable and due. I still think their list is much better balanced and placed, regardless of the fact that we beat them. 1 1 Quote

Factor in their incredible MCG advantage…less travel ..even playing a team off the bye when they were off the bye..their obnoxious but loud crowd who influence umpiring decisions..I.e. against Adelaide. I can only dream what we could achieve with their fixture .. Apart from all that …totally disagree with your summation of their list vs ours . 2 Quote

For me, this sums it up: apart from the odd game, we have been a bit ‘meh’ for some time. It’s good that we have shored the defence up again, but it would be nice to see a bit of swashbuckle to go with it. 1 1 Quote
