Dedication and desire seemed to be missing. Do you actuall know that.? At least you said seemed! Did you ever speak with him? Same as Jack Watt but that is not fair to JW really. Some people you could shake and scream at and Shacky was thst. But I draw the line and say that he probably was dedicated but just didn’t ooze it. Good Luck JS A talent wasted at AFL level. 1 Quote

Would rather risk a high pick on Jack Lukosious than give Kent field an extension . Risk and reward and instant player is crucial to us in our window now. Highly skilled and change a bonus for him should be our Mantra. 1 Quote

Did anyone else hear that? I think Tom McDonald will almost definitely go around again, and Melksham may perhaps be determined by our trade period and where the list sits. I would love to see either Jake or Ben Brown retained as forwards coach next year - Even if it's more of a part-time role focused on forward craft. Ben is best placed in AFLW at present and Melk has impressed it seems. Who knows where and when for him? 2 Quote

He's as solid and probably close to as strong as CP but I don't think he reads the play as well. He tackles hard and notches up a lot of them but yea I'm sure your opinion of him is not unique. Can't imagine we would get a great deal for him but he does have a lot of experience under his belt now, so you never know. Unfortunately we don't have a great deal of midfield depth so it might be wiser to hang onto him for emergencies. But it's not the strongest of arguments to keep him on. Possibly turn him into a tagger? oh Simon doesn’t do ragging. well Simon doesn’t do what ply he wants and needs to be more expansive and aggressive or he will fall on his own sword. And he hasn’t got Kate for chief supporter now. 2 Quote

These guys have talent but we need more than talent. We need guys who can step up in 2025 and add value to our senior list.

58er 6,871 Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 On 25/08/2024 at 13:06, whatwhat say what said: i put this in another thread, but it's probably just as appropriate here... i think we'll keep our top 5 / 6 pick, get the pick we wasted on mcadam back for anb (sob!), and use late picks to pick up two nga kids (riak andrew, ricky mentha) and one father-son (noah yze) i think we can kiss our 2025 first round pick goodbye cos we won't want to hold it - not with a highly ranked nga (tairon ah-mu) and father-son (kalani white) coming thru in the 2025 draft in the last game of the year we had the following unavailable for selection: may petracca windsor lever spargo brayshaw hunter oliver smith sparrow ben brown four of those are likely to be off the list, and two more - at least - could go too it's an open bid on trac, which is very sad, but if he doesn't see himself as part of our future, so be it; we'll get value for his departure i'd be open to trading: petracca laurie bowey fritsch sparrow woewodin i think three of those have value, both incoming and outgoing, and two are depth for us and would be the same for other teams too; there's no real incentive for anyone to target laurie, sparrow, or woewodin as they're fairly meat n potatoes, or just potatoes if yr being cruel retired: brayshaw ben brown i'd delist: hunter schache tomlinson (or he leaves as a free agent) smith kyah farris-white that's seven players off the list + rookie list, and at least one - neal-bullen - certain to be traded for, probably, a second round pick (incredible value for him imo), so eight changes already and that's why i think milkshake and plugger mac will roll around again in 2025; if we don't have them we're looking pretty thin for experience at either end of the ground we've got pick 5/6, that 2nd rounder for nibbs, a bunch of middling 2nd / 3rd round picks that we already hold (about three in total) plus later selections possible automatic ins as late picks / rookie listings: riak andrew ricky mentha noah yze i really hope we target some midfielders who can move with a bit of pace and use the ball by foot; harvey langford would seem ideal reading the scouting reports for pick 5, but i'm not sure if he will last that long? houston would be perfect, but that seems doa... i'm disappointed we're not in the conversations for any of the gw$ or gc17 wantaway players like cumming, peatling, lukosious, although apparently we were keen on angwin...that seems to have gone quiet going to be a busy off-season that's for sure Why Fritta? You will say he doesn’t tackle.? Really we can’t have any more bulls we need finishers like Fritta and other skilled and pacy players. 40 goals plus every year is irreplaceable for us. It’s all about a balance and it’s easier eogg try k on an existing player mostly than get a new one when that type is not necessarily available. 1 2 Quote

Whispering_Jack 31,365 Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 There’s another way in which list changes could come about and that is via some of the lesser level trades that we see from time to time when clubs offer around players who are borderline to their needs. This could apply to contracted and uncontracted players so let’s not assume that our list is near to complete as we go into trading and drafting. 2 Quote
