Obviously haven't had the best season this year, but similar things to your comments above were stated at the end of 2020 and the next year, they were both well deserved premiership players.

Write them off at your peril I say.

Both, but particularly T Mac have earnt their right to retire or play out his contract whenever they see fit.

Happy for them to go on if they believe they are up to it.

McDonald is fine to go on in my mind, as his issues stem from lack of fitness due to foot trouble. Brown's knee is never going to get better, so he needs to just manage it and play as much footy as his body lets him.

Hearing a few sources say we are still pretty heavily into Georgiadis.

 

He does have a 4 year offer on the table from Port, but hasn’t signed on yet

Cool beans Jayden. 

My guess is BBB would be the more likely of the two to pull up stumps early, but I think he still has pleanty to offer us on the list next season.  Even as a depth player at Casey he's got such great footy smarts and character that he'd be a great mentor to someone like Jefferson.

I'd also love to see BBB kick a big bag for the MFC and I recon it's still a possibility if he can get his body right for long enough.

Gawn Dog, can you please explain if we're getting pick 5 and splitting for 7 and 11 (which seems like a potentially good move for us), where does pick 4 come from?

GCS pick 4, which we take through a pick swap of our 2nd rounders and pick 15. Should give the GCS a net 400 minimum depending on what we put up. They’ll need to find at least 1000 pts somehow if they want all 3 academy players.

Problem with Mathieson is that he thinks he's beast mode as well, probably refers to himself in the 3rd person when he talks too.  
NQR AFL standard player, West Coast needs a rebuild, not a re-tool.  Go for Devon Robertson.

Mathieson has a bit too much of Angry Phil Read in him hahaha

Really don't want to lose Jordon. He is one player I hope we lock in. I hear Harmes may explore options and all good - love him and thank him for his service but better opportunities might be elsewhere.

Schache is a no risk tall extension imo.

Mitch Georgiades swap for B Grundy might get some traction. Win win.

there's also far more demand for a number 1 ruck now than 12 months ago, Swans ruck has retired, Port cleary don't have any idea who they like/don't like any of them and the cats have missed the 8 and have just lost one of their two 33yo rucks to retirement too.

If that was the case, he wouldn't have made it to FA and 8 years in the system

Anyone who has even managed a single AFL game is a significantly better footballer than me, but in the scheme of targeting who to recruit, Rhys's disposal is ordinary, he's managed an average of 9 games per seasons being in the AF, never playing more than 15 games in one season. So, he still fits in that NQR category as an AFL player. He's a solid VFL player...

West Coast won't improve by settling for players like Mathieson, oh and 'Beast mode' is a moniker that I'd attach to someone like Viney, Matt Rowell, Dangerfield (in his heyday)

I would prefer we blood another midfielder with Jordan’s minutes. I don’t see anything elite in his game.

We don't have one at VFL level unfortunately unless you regard TW, Laurie or AMW as midfielders

I think Taj and Laurie are mids, but they're smaller than JJ.

Laurie was a mid as junior and Woey a wing IIRC. Also we have ND4/5 coming our way - they need a spot to compete toward.

Has Flanders re signed yet?

Not yet. Would be happy to throw Freos second rounder their way if we don’t use it to trade up for another pick in the top ten. Flanders is AFL ready and performing well in the midfield now he’s got his chance. Can play inside or outside and form part of our rotation after our big guns.

John Ralph hinting to Gary On The Couch that the Dees were meeting with Reid.  With North getting pick one it seams unlikely now though

BBB getting his body right is a rather large 'if' given his chronic knee issue. Likely to retire for mine maybe with some payout for final year.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
