Sam Van Rooyen in for Ben Brown on LTI?

They wouldn’t be able to afford Jackson, Darcy, Amiss and JVR. Would have to involve swapping Darcy for JVR, but let’s not worry about that.

They have the big Cohuna who’s not a bad 3rd option 

JVR will stay in my view, but the idea that Freo aren’t gonna have a massive crack at him is ridiculous. Did Freo need Jackson last year when they already had Darcy? No, but they did it anyway and they’ll try the same with Roo

The sheer fact that his brother is training with them is a big enough sign surely? Every club overlooked him in the draft and even rookie draft yet Freo are giving him a chance even though he’s probably not up to AFL standard? Where are Freo’s holes? Midfield is stacked, rucks are stacked and backline is strong. They would be drooling at the potential of a JVR/Amiss forward line, their forward line is their weakest point, there’s no partner for Amiss yet 

They have no big bodied mid as evident by their struggles in midfield last season without Mundy. Whilst Brayshaw and Serong are very good mids they ain’t the midfield bulls Mundy and a fit Fyfe are. They have no small forwards with an aging Walters along with losing Henry and Schulz. 
 

you have no idea what standard SVR is I doubt you have seen him play.  They have taken him and Voss on board to train all summer along with Dan McKenzie as the players who they see as the best available talls who come a lot cheaper as back up because with Jackson, Darcy, Serong, Brayshaw all on big money and Amiss going to command big money throughout his career it ain’t happening

Darcy hadn’t signed when they started chasing Jackson

This is a great idea if SVR has suddenly morphed into a mature age back up ruckmen. 

Reported as 192 cm

Fair enough then. Let's all be happily frustrated then by the ridiculous BB Superannuation 24 show. 

[Demonstone 19,318]

Nobody is "happily frustrated" at BB's situation.

However, a kid that no club considered worth drafting and is clearly nowhere close to being ready for AFL senior action is not a viable replacement for him in 2024.

Another try hard witty one liner that someone had already used.

In that instance, it was a serious reply; a simple response to a simple statement. Your above reply says more about you than it does me.

Uncomfortable with all this talk regarding BBB not seeing out the season against his wishes, even with his knee problems.

The off season was where decisions like this needed to be made not now, BBB wanted to play the year so we respect his wishes and send off our premiership hero in the right manner regardless if he plays or not.

Lets respect our heroes in the right way and it will come back to us ten fold.

Ben obviously holds aspirations of coaching and is a good role model to the youngsters on the list you need people like this around our club.

It strengthens your culture.

[Travy14 1,508]

SVR is not an option.  If we were to get a replacement for BB it would need to be a proven VFL/WAFL or SANFL player that can hold a key position if needed.  No point bringing a kid in that cant get picked up by West Coast.

There is plenty around if the club were thinking that way, but i have a feeling they are more thinking along the lines of if it got to dire straights they have Schacke or move the defence around and put T-mac/Tommo up fwd. 

[640MD 2,836]

Why all the concern about SVR.  He was not picked by anyone in the draft.

is struggling to get on Fremantle their list.

last player on probably 

he will not replace anyone on the Dee’s list for 3 years.  Most certainly not this year.

as an aid to his brother is a different storey.

But get off BBB. He is fulfilling his contract. And so are we.

if he cannot play then move him to coaching at the mid year. 
 

then get a short term tall .

we will have a great year, cos I will be in Italy in September.  

[seventyfour 402]

Not now, but I don't mind the idea of him playing at Casey, with the option of a mid-season draft pickup.

He has some elite traits - his agility testing at the WA Combine would've had him #1 in the country.

I have never seen Sam play but isn’t he an 18yo KPF who didn’t get drafted?  
 

They take time. 2 or 3 years in our system  before they get a game seems to be the norm (assuming they are good enough). Doesn’t seem a wise LTI replacement 

Agree, come and have a run at Casey first and then we'll Fritsch you once your ready

Man alive, there's some crazy thinkers on Land after a loss!

"Fritsch" works beautifully as a verb in that sentence. 

[leave it to deever 15,817]

Won't happen.

Nor should it.

I hope Fullerton is up and about asap 

Bbb for Schache but it's the deck chairs again for me.

Maybe Tmac down back of Bbb out and Tommo up fwd.

Have to try something.

I don't want Shache in again.

And Tommo was one of our better players v Swans.

Surely he couldn't be any worse.
