Sturt and Butters gone. My two guys i'd been tracking for months now.

didn't he have offseason surgery?

We need run, but is another defender the answer? I really think Salem and Hibberd will be more unlocked this year now that May has joined and Lever will return from injury. I'm all for taking the best player available but we do need an outside midfielder and to refill our forward stocks.

Even our rookies are getting better. I am not a fan of Josh Wagner, but he is a solid depth player. Now if his brother is anywhere near his brother then that's a fine pick up.

A lot more muscles out there nowadays. Long gone are the days of Watts and Morton.

Still not convinced english is Clarry's first language.

Gold Coast are linked with everyone. I'd be dissapointed if we didn't get someone with speed or a half forward/full forward player from the draft.

Just don't let Clarry teach him.

What i'm hoping is come draft day we don't use 23 or 28 on Bedford. Try grab Butters if he falls late if not i like the sound of Sturt and Duursma

Keep 23 open for a potential Kelly deal >:) 16 May - 12 Kola - 37 Pruess with 21 - 27 - 32 - 40 - 43 for the draft picks

Hogan was gone so we made the best of a bad situation. I also don't see where Freo fans think we bullied them with Hogan. We didn't say [censored] and even sat quiet while the purple midget spouted they didn't want Hogan to only come crawling back days later. Mahoney would've got a ten from me if he said "it's hard to deal with amatuers" when asked about the Hogan deal.

Bedford at 28 seems a bit high. 21 would be about right for Valente. Sturt and Duursma maybe our best bet.

I pray Butters doesn't get snapped up early. I also like the look of Clarke, Valente, Sturt and McHenry. If we could get Valente and McHenry with 23 and 28 we are in dream land

I won't be mad if when we face the eagles he lines up Kennedy.

Basically club wanted to improve 3 areas while imrpoving draft hand and did so at the expense of Hogan and Tyson. May and Hogan's impact at each others club will be highlighted all year. The one thing we need is Kade and Preuss to level up and ease the burden. Also 23 and 28 can get us some cracking players in the draft to replace Tyson and Kent.

Awfully Sunny here in Melbourne...

106 pages to read through my god

Conor looked a shadow of his former self. I don't know how much of that was Khabib or how much of it was spending a year and a bit out of the grind to do a boxing match, imo it's ruined him. Post match stuff was nasty. Nobody is innocent in all of that, but for someone who wants the UFC to be about fighting and not showmanship Khabib sure did put on a show.

yep can't be bothered going through the 25 pages i've missed. I'll just assume we still know nothing.

Suns want him as well

Mate i literally live in WA and every freo fan is laughing at the suggestion of Brayshaw going.

Unless Andy Brayshaw kicks up a fuss and demands to leave he isn't leaving. Why do people think this will happen? Freo are [censored] [censored] and he's a young bright light who is contracted. Ross loves him and points to him and Cerra as the future, it's one of the only things protecting him from the [censored] off Freo fans. I'm not going to say it's not happening, but if Brayshaw is in the deal to get Hogan the Freo fans will riot and Ross will be on death row.

Touring facilities doesn't actually mean anything, it's just a way for a club to impress potential targets. Hickey and Lobbe both did tours at the Eagles and only of them is joining as an example.

5? rookie numbers

4 and 5 would be a statement. Freo won't do it. Port want their pick 4/5 and Freo want as many picks in top 10 as possible because Lobb, Kelly, Hogan and Hill are all available.
