Turner

looking forward to finally realising my dream as an afl plyaer

i don't know why we don't just try tomlinson there! he's the one who cant get into the side anyway! time to reinvent himself!!

admin i'd like to mute the phrases "petty as a forward" and "petty forward" from all future posts in my feeds please, thanks

he's going there to partner aliir and replace mckenzie/jonas who are aging

if we want good cheap ruck depth i hope we're considering rookie-ing or SPP/DFA-ing Brayden crossley, i indend on calling up the exchange boys and asking their opinions on his prospects of re-entering the comp and how he'd be allowed to do it as a previously delisted player although time ago. he looked seriously promising coming through as a youngster at the suns

Turner's predicted wednesday movements: Tucker/Logue will be finalised Cordy will join StK Frampton for that future pick to the pies GrunDEE tune back in at 7pm to see how right i am lmao

probably might've if we'd been able to tie bedford down. i realise probably might've is as close to an oxymoron as you can get but i think it was a chance

Bonner, Sharp, HClark, Hunter

i was gonna say neitschke but aidan riley is definitely more niche

freo look to be coming to the table this year, already shipped acres and logue/tucker reportedly about to be signed off on and its only day 2, priming them to complete jackson deal in the next couple days and then then they can do as they please with lobb and call it a week hes OOC so unlikely

are u going to be updating this per deal @Lucifers Hero or just on mass at the completion of trade period

i was all over this that off season, had him above BBB due to his upside and age to grow with our group, have absolutely no grudges given BBB took us to a flag but geez we coulda used him, hindsight 20:20 given weid stagnation but would be more than handy right about now

i was young-ish when harmes first came through but i remember him being really dynamic forward of centre had an awesome goal sense, good sidestep and fend off and laid tackles and forward pressure. i distinctively remember him taking a huge hanger one day but have never been able to find it again since back in his #43 days. my memory might be wrong but we should be trying to get that side of him out of him more often when he is forward he definitely should still have a role at the club in 23

weid should've gone to the club and asked them if they had heard the names esava ratugolea or billy frampton. having listened to the lamb interview and their acceptance that tommo was allowed to go if he can find a suitor it opens up an interesting few options, have we seen someone around the comp to bring in as depth or at vfl level who is cheaper, remembering we do trust smith to play 2nd tall regularly and turner is in favour too so 5 key defenders is possibly too many for balance. but what does weid do well, jump at packs and not get out marked. what does weid do poorly - run to good positions, actually hold onto marks. as a key defender he can just aimlessly follow his opposition to the ball and just knuckle the thing wherever he pleases. he will easily find himself back at league level either with us or elsewhere in future if he does this

i was gonna say something dimilar, exit interview probably went something like this JH: my best position is midfield i should play there more often and i want to play there more often coaches: we agree, but youre behind a few there right now so we want to keep playing you at HF/W/tagging or stints in there when necessary JH: hmm ok not sure, go dees but gee wonder if someone will pay me to be a permanent mid dons: hi James

we're in a premiership window, we need to change our way of thinking, if howes is good enough and consistent enough at vfl level then he will earn his spot and be selected, until then he isnt relevant to our senior 22. hunter would be relevant from round 1 all the way through the season and the next 3 seasons after that as well. the cats didnt baulk at isaac smith to get games into holmes or baulk at touhy to play jordan clark or even cameron to play sav its just the way football works sometimes if you want success you've gotta be ruthless

pete ryan tweeting riley bonner could be available, yes hes worse than bowes and a bit of a squad player but given hunt's exit (and i spent 20 minutes comparing them on the afl website statistically bonner is 2x the player hunt is) could be a handy player off hb as a kicker even tho he has no inside game, 3yr deal pretty average 300k coin low risk high reward? thoughts?

freo have so much to come in they'll be able to do a bundle job elsewhere and get the picks necessary, nothing to etress about yet theres no way the deal doesnt get done eventually

they always are at CGS grrr

i can't believe this thread has made it the last 4 pages without any mention of Laurie, was rated as highly as bowey when drafted, has the composure and kicking skills we like about spargo and hopefully does a better job of finding the footy, but this will give him the opportunity to get some minutes and push into the side, i realise he's not exactly a like for like with toby but a small forward is a small forward is a small forward and this will present him some more opportunities in '23

surprised petty was only 15th not as surprised to see brown, lever and harmes where they were or salem missing (given injuries) surprised jordon was as high as he was given he was dropped when it got tot the business end

and 7 is dunkley

i think theyre saying its the difference between an EO1st round and where it ended up at 27 weirdly

thought this was going to be a weridee thread
