Windhager watch. 26 possessions (14 uncontested) at 89% efficiency. Plays hard. Runs hard. Has polish.

Should be our number 1 target. I hope we have a serious (but not ridiculous) offer on the table to try and jag him out off there. I am sure once NWM actually says he’s going home they will give Windhager what he wants but we should be doing what is required to convince him otherwise.

One thing i hope our list management team is looking at (and some demonland posters realise) is that with Tassie coming in and possibly another team a few year after that. thats 50(depending on exceptions given, but im guessing Tassie will get extra list spots) new players for the competition.

This means that what we call player 22-30ish now become starting players and those beyond become very important depth.

Players like Laurie, Culley, Mentha, Verrell, Sharp, Woewodin and Brown who some people may think we should cut, will actually become pretty important and valuable i believe.

as they will be the right age and have afl ready bodies, this will happen to every club and if you cut too deep and get stuck topping up with kids you will get exposed at the bottom end.

Just a though I had during the week, rem when GC and GWS came in how many "mature age" players were drafted, be smart to get ahead now

Replacement for Gawny, as Campbell also old.

Max Ramsden from Hawks?

He can’t get a game past Meek, and they also have Reeves who can’t get a game.

Ramsden would be a good selection as he’s young and can be a future player.

Those players might well have value.

Just possibly not with us.

yes, but my point is the draft picks we will get for them won't be of value. They are worth more than picks in the 40s and beyond.

Wonder how the Jackson situation is looking.. And if Freo lose to the Dogs next week means we'll start hearing some more about it..

I still think if he leaves his pref would be us, we'd obviously have to lose a big name to acquire the picks to trade for him though..

if we could ship out petracca for jackson i'd be ecstatic

Windhager won’t happen if Nasiah goes. Be surprised if it happens if he stays to be honest, feels more like hot air than anything.

Khamis looks like he wants out at the Dogs. They are low-balling Treloar too. His body is cooked but he has been an amazing player.

If Bucks comes, forget Treloar.
