Haha so we went from going cold on him to heating up the oven again it seems?? Welcome to the Dees you absolute bull 👌

The whole draft set up coverage is the worse.

Where have you been? They haven't done this for a number of years.

So you wouldn't take Nick Daicos or Josh Kelly inside the top 10? Strange....

Giving up way too much just to move 3 spots? I can guarantee one of those guys will still be available at our pick as a slider By the looks of it, the club is set on Tholstrup.

Demon spirit is one of the more cringiest slogans going around. Seriously wish we'd just ditch it all together and have no more slogans.

It was very 2022 like. Men win 10 games in a row, Women's played amazing first half of the year but both absolutely choked in finals.

So we can use pick 42?

Disappointing performance. But please, can we please not link the mens performance into this. Far too many excuses last week with illness, so what is this week? When you let an opposition get out to a big lead then you find yourself majority of the game playing catch up and it can be mentally draining. Some big decisions looms for a few players in the off season. What an incredibly disappointing finish to the year.

Cringe post

This is embarrassing

The rate we're going, we won't need too.

Maybe the clubs integrity 😳

Knightmare definitely not showing his ridiculous bias there..

No

Yep, makes complete sense and understandable that he chooses not to attend draft night

Tholstrup was asked this on AFL gettable and explained it well. From Esperance just to Perth is a fair hike I believe and he stated that trying to get all the family and friends to Perth alone would have taken an effort in itself let alone getting them all too Melbourne. He said it would have been too hard trying to organise 20 plus family and friends to Melbourne. @Pennant St Dee might explain it better but I believe his home town to Perth is a bit of an effort?

Isaac Weetra played 2 games and he was absolutely not AFL standard. His standard right now is VFL level where he plays well but he hasn't adjusted to AFL standard. Let's not tip toe around this. Unfortunately Laurie was badly exposed when given a decent run against Collingwood. Even in the games he played this year he showed nothing to suggest he'll make it. Coming up to his 4th year on the list. He'd wanna really show a stack of improvement over the off season. I aqually hope he does, because I like him.

Yeah I've changed my tune on Watson (have already acknowledged this on here..) After assessing our list deep and thoroughly the outside speed and carry is a significant hole. My Watson comment was also suggested on thr back of talk that Spargo could be looking at a trade potentially. After going over a bit more in depth I felt that midfield depth especially outside run was a genuine need we had to fill. Langdon is 28 next year and not getting any better and has had 2 poor years whilst Hunter will be 29 and slowing down. He had a poor back half of the year as evident of finishing outside the top 10 of the best and fairest. After those two we have no one else under the wings that boast the same running power and speed as what Langdon has. Like literally no one.. we obviously rate wingman highly as part of our game plan hence why we went and gotten Hunter but recruiting Windsor just reassures our depth. Windsor's high work rate alongside his speed and running power fits a greater need for us. Speed is where the game is going and it's no coincidence that after watching GWS and Collingwood over the finals series l, they've set the benchmark of being able to provide speed and power from half back and especially on the outside. Windsor just makes a whole lot more sense in terms of talent but also topping up our depth. I see him being a Lachie Whitfield/Isaac Smith type wingman for us.

Not sure you can throw Laurie in there considering he hasn't shown anything remotely close ro being AFL standard. And yes, you're right about the JVR situation. I suppose it's a 50/50 risk vs reward type scenario. With the amount of stars that are out of contract next I simply would nor be trading out a future first round pick purely to get a 170cm small forward where it's not even a glaring need for us. Keep pick 6 and take the outside speedy talent in Windsor which we severely lack in terms of depth and class.
