Think this is a key point to any sports player, not all development is linear.

Think a clean slate with King may help. Also hopefully he can get some clear positional direction from the coaching staff.

Just wish he didnt look like Jon Lovitz, i read the letter in his voice.

List of players with contracts (currently) expiring at the end of the 2026 Season, so could be brought in for 2027. Very premature thread but curious which players of ours we should lock in ASAP.

Realistic options?

Either the offer works for us, or Christian works for us.

Actions are speaking louder than words here, if he didn't want to be under the spotlight log onto Zoom.

They had NAS money a few weeks ago, so hopefully. Wonder what they're offering Ah Chee

14 + a good young player?

I'd still like him to stay, but going to Adelaide a better pill to swallow than Collingwood/Carlton/Hawthorn etc.

More like Judge McMee. I'm here all week.

Well obviously they're the more important ones, but Ghosty just had a convo with Kolt so thought that was fitting to check in on him

Please continue to share information that you receive, understand things change and the like but it's always interesting to read. Not to entirely de-rail the thread, but on the topic of young WA players at our club, Kolt seemingly settled here? Not a flight risk?

That's fair, I was just looking at their list and trying to see if there was a realistic add-on that could be included. Thought at his age and as a Victorian he could be one to consider. I don't mind him, tackles and runs hard. Would be an upgrade on Spargo but both need to score more goals.

Really? He's 29 in a few months.

If its Pick 29 which will slide out, would it a bit more pleasant if they threw in someone like Sam Switkowski

Is there any realistic player we can acquire from them as part of a deal?

Facebook memories may or may not have shown a video of me dancing around in my living room drinking bubbles straight from a bottle.

Yep agreed some of our $ list decisions have been a bit self-defeating in the long run, its left Lamb boxing with one arm tied behind his back in terms of trying to bring in talent.

It doesn't but if its 2+1, who knows what the triggers are.

But if he's getting more money elsewhere that's not necessarily Lamb's fault

Think it's a little poignant for Goody to be saying this all now. Also whilst we're reflecting on Goody, on this day in 2021 we won the flag, and for that Goody will always be a Demon legend.
