I reckon you are on the money. AMW needs another pre-season to build his tank so he can get to more contests. I'd be saying to him play well next year and we'll upgrade you to the senior list in 25 and join McVee.

So does his mum

Let's retire number 34 asap and keep it for Kalani. Deakyn Smith has it now but he could be delisted/offered another number.

I wonder why they never tried even for a part of a quarter having both Grundy and Gawn at the centre bonce and around the ground, They could alternate going up for the ruck.

He'll also wait till 5 minutes before the deal needs to be submitted and then delay some more.

Hope he plays and gets subbed out in the first quarter. I missed out on tickets, are you going?

We get AFL compo pick probably late round 2 or 3

It's Daniel Turner who gets upgraded in 24, McVee gets upgraded in 25.

How it could transpire would be we get Reid at 1, Gold Coast match their top prospect Jed Walter at 2, North go for McKercher, Hawks go for Duursma and WCE get Curtin. Only real spanner is if North go for Curtin to replace a departing McKay. If we can't get 1 then we go for plan B see above and trust in Lamb, Taylor and their crew.

I'd do it, whether WCE would depends if they were sure Curtin would be there at 4. Then the added bonus of getting another top 10 player. If they don't we get 2 top 5 players like Duursma, Watson, McKercher and or O'Connor. Then we pick K.Brown as a late pick 89 or a compo pick for likely departures like Jordon etc....... then if we get more spots or trade we could go for a Liam Henry and or Georgiadas from PAdel if we lost Grundy.

Need Smith to counter Howe aerially

McVee has a brilliant year to many he came out of nowhere to play every game. He is being recognised outside the club as his 4th indicates. Another example of our excellent recruiting when you consider he was a real "rookie" not selected in the main draft like the eventual winner Sheezel from North or runner up like Ashcroft.

I thought you can play whoever you like as long as your AFL side is in the finals. Also there is probably a minimum amount of VFL listed players that must play. I reckon they play Grundy, TMac etc even for a 1/4 or a 1/2 for match practice with a view of replacing Melks.

If WCE weren't so keen on Curtin we could get pick 1 Reid, suppose we won't know till draft night who North & Hawks will pick as Gold Coast will go for their man. Hopefully North & Dorks go for midfielders then it can work eg McKercher or Duursma, or a forward like Watson. Otherwise we trade up and get 2 top 10 picks and choose from these 3 and a tall like O'Connor. Then we go for father/son Brown as a late pick/rookie. So we have 3 picks or more if we delist Dunstan, Melks(harsh) ??? /trade Harmes ?, Tomlinson?? Jordon FA, /buy out contracted players like B Brown, McDonald?? etc

Good idea

I reckon u r right

North winning means WCE might still deal with us.

We won't have more than 3 picks in the draft when you factor Daniel Turner upgrade to the senior list in 2024. One of them will probably be K Brown as a senior/rookie pick. So I understand why we want to package them and dry for one. However, it's looking like West Coast are in the box seat over Adelaide. So North will finish last. No Reid deal unfortunately. So let's get 2 top ten players from Duursma, McKercher, Watson or O'Connor and go from there.

I'll answer my own question GC need 6 goals to win now so I reckon providing Adelaide does the right thing then the option with WCE is still alive

18 points but not sure how long left, could Gold Coast make a late run?

Looking like North and the Dorkers will win, which means we could will trade with Meth Coast. Adelaide should beat them so will get pick 5 and pick 23 from them to go will out 1st and 2nd picks this year.

Freo are prats

Dunstan will go too

So you reckon pick 4, 18, 23 & a player like Tomlinson would do it???
