Yes, correct.

Gets a lot right then wrong and has broken some fairly big stories of late. People get so butt hurt about him that its actually funny watching them cry and melt over him doing his actual job.

No, as in GC would be asking for 3 first round draft picks for Humphrey as a starting point.

Referencing Kane and Kingy to justify how good Tim Lamb is as funny as Adam saying that Gawn and Viney contracts last year were board only decisions and not list management.

Tom Morris just said that if Melbourne ask for Humphrey in the Petracca deal then Gold Coast will walk away. Reckons they would ask for 3 first round picks.

Their first pick isnt until pick 38 which will obviously blow out to the mid 40's

Hows that been working out of late? Or we blaming the board whenever it suits your hatred narrative towards Brad Green and and the rest of the board members?

I certainly think the first round of the draft there is enough talent there at least. Top 15 has enough class and elite young talent there, especially if we end up with a few early picks from the Petracca deal. Around the pick 7 mark guys like Robey, Grlj, Sharp, Lindsay, Taylor and Marsh are all high end talent. Definitely from 20 onwards there is a drop in terms of depth of talent. If you can grab a couple of nuggets in the mid range area that we will have done exceptionally well.

Am also a big believer that there is always talent in the draft regardless whether its a weak draft or not. History will say that over the past 10 years there has been exceptional talent that has come from each draft. So if we are able to.get a couple of early draft picks then i back Jason Taylor in doing a great job. The only issue with Steele is based around Steven King's reasoning around wanting to get rid of Oliver due to evolving nature of where the game is going and thats being able to transition. King feels that the game is shifting away from contest and having one dimensional inside mids which both Steele a s Oliver are. I just cant see a world where we get rid of Oliver only to then pick up Jack Steele.

Nick Stevens.

The Gawn, Viney extensions were board decisions, @dazzledavey36 . How so? I havent found anything that suggest otherwise. At the end of the day its Lamb's job to draft up a contract and yes get the final tick of approval from the board with any list management decisions. Lamb still has a massive input into this and as it stands he got this one complete wrong. Whether it was panic station from the Roos offer or not, it was completely unnecessary to offer him such a long contract at his age. I'm well aware of both their roles thanks Adam. Taylor has done an exceptional job bringing in some of the talent. Langford and Lindsay for instsnce are easily 10+ year players for this footy club. Give us some more early picks for Petracca and I think he will cook well again. Lamb on the other has butchered some of the list management decisions over the past couple of years. The long list of names i provided have been at the expense of Lamby. Its a long list of genuine list cloggers which has neglected in us bringing in young talent instead. I would love to see Steven King start fresh with a whole new list manager beside him.

Well no not really? If you're talking age then Petracca who is 30 years old is only worth a second rounder going off your criteria. He is about to command an early first round pick as a starting point. McVee has done nothing significant. Hes been a role player and thats it. No guarantee that he turns into a more significant player. For all we know he could just stay as that solid role player at Freo snd churns out a solid 150 games. Hes worth an early to mid 2nd round pick.

Lamb has had an absolute shocker the last couple of years. Billings, Schache, Sharp, McAdam, Dunstan, Fullarton, Hunter, Grundy. Not only that, some of the list management decisions and contracts he's handed out which we are now trying to get off the books. Giving Jack Viney a 4 year offer even though he was already contracted was one of the most bizarre list management decisions i have seen. Giving up a lot in terms of draft capital just to move up the order and select Tholstrup who has already been told he needs to shape up or else. I'd be a happy man if the club got rid of him after this trade period (they wont).

Can't get any more factual then this @Ted Lasso

There is no way in hell McVee is worth more then ANB in trade value ANB is not only premiership player who has alao finished top 3 in the best and fairest but a far better player then McVee in general. McVee had a good year in 2024 but thats about it.

This is what I was talking about needing to take a step back next year (miss finals) to then take two steps forward for sustained success. I Grab a couple of early draft picks if we can on top off Langford, Windsor, Lindsay, Bowey, Rivers and Kozzie and let King cook up a brand new culture of high performance and professionalism.

I reckon he he'll jump up the draft order after that performance.

👍

I think you're clearly losing the plot considering you have misinterpreted what I said. Not once did I EVER say I want us to be at the bottom forever, thats you, and you only thats saying that. Breath before you hit the enter button next time.

I agree mate. I think Humphrey is a long shot so i prefer the two early picks. Grab two high end talents and let King rebuild on the run. Finals is out of the equation next year so if it means we need to take a step backwards to then take two steps forward for hopefully sustained success then I am happy with that.

Yeah I still stand that I think its a long shot with Humphrey. I think Gold Coast will make it hard but also what happens if he doesnt nominate us? Butters may be a long shot but Ben King has spent time with Steven King which i dont really consider a long shot compared to Butters.
