I think the AFL should put a date mid season for contract renewals, for eg by the end of round 11 a player must sign up if he intends to stay on. By then players, managers, clubs know how they're tracking for that year anyway and takes pressure off both player and club. If they don't re-sign then they're on the way out and clubs can then plan. I don't know, something like that I reckon may work. As it is, players are bending clubs over.

Lever or Harmes

Sounds like you've just escaped to me.

Yep thats why I said similar, but wouldn't be surprised to see Gaff a Dee. Would've been very handy to add another player this year or next with that pick is what I meant correct.

Recruiters arent stupid, our comments wont hinge on the outcome one bit. Opposition clubs know his worth and we know his worth, the comments are there to send a message. Wont make a difference IMO

Lets start a petition then, "Sack Goodwin and Keep Watts" petition.

4-5 coaches so far, maybe wait until Goodwin gets axed by round 10 to see what the incoming coach will bring I suppose, I like it. Lets just keep sacking coaches until Watts delivers

At first I thought it was a bit 50/50 but it makes sense, puts pressure on spots and who knows, he may be better than all of them. His goalkicking is also much sharper than Weids and as you say Hogan could end up at Freo, Weids could flop or go to Coll and Pedersen will most likely retire. I'm all for it. At old pick 2 turned into a late second round makes sense.

Like jogging around like a princess with a butterfly net and one armed tackles? Let him go Biffenator, he is just no good mate, embrace the future

I'm all for your Schache idea, email the club and get it happening would ya!

Lol, nah I wanted another decent recruit with that pick and not go to the draft, maybe we had nothing other than Lever up our sleeve for this year.

I do agree with that 100% but the effort shown by Watts in those games was shocking.

Goodwin

Deduct those for his NM, GWS and Port games while you're at it. As for the others, at least they [censored] try

2 games in 9 years, wow, what an achievement...also, we were in front when Watts kicked the Coll goal. Someone else mentioned the 1994 era yesterday, just ridiculous to compare how footy was played then to the standards being set today. Winning is the exact reason we are offloading Watts, to get 22 committed soldiers to the end goal of winning every game.

I have no issues getting Lever, he is 10 year star, just thought we could of used next years first pick on a ready to go mid like Gaff or similar, that's my only issue, considering we held the cards. Lever is a boss.

If we can get pick 30 for Watts I'd take it and run. Downhill skier who still has effort issues after 9 years.

This is why I say its a big yes. Puts pressure on Weid for a spot and one injury out of that lot and we are in a bit of strife.

I'd do it in a heartbeat

Refer to my comments in the Stringer thread and I sincerely hope you do win lotto!

I'm sure managers have multiple players to deal with, we'll see. Was hoping for another surprise this year, doesn't look likely

I actually think Mahoney won't bring someone with issues in, I just want to know why his name pops up in Watts trade

What does this stand for? And agree, wake up call for Jake and I'd back him in

And who besides Balic would take with the delicious pick 46? No brainer, 46 or 146, just get him here. Not going to draft talent there at 46 this year
