The Jackson FIX

Schaq + Hunter - the false-prophet = +1

Finally assembling a side capable of kicking a goal in the first half of the 2018 preliminary final.

We now have 24 players who played in the 2021 Grand Final on our list. We had 23 on the day the game was played.

Rendition of FREED FROM DESIRE from Lachie on his socials would be the ultimate troll

No deals to be done until 3pm. Then the period closes at 7.30pm

My 4yo walks around the house singing 🎶 Steel and mesh steel and mesh, when you’re looking for the best, there’s one place to go, that’s Walters with than O! 🎶

I think people recognise he is a big picture innovator (e.g Diamond defence in ‘18), he’s just not particularly flexible/adaptive in the short term (e.g no changes to sides late last yr + Petty going forward only when the game was lost).

Great movie.

Brodie in the bag ✅ now onto Max King before deadline

It’s only a rort if you’re not involved!

Chris Judd

This is my favourite thread of the draft so far. I’m gonna buy FOUR of these t-shirts and use a big red posca to draw a cross through the WA map. Then Goody, Lamby, Tails and Ooze can wear them to the draft. Edit: they can remove them if Ginbey slips to our pick.

I’m curious - who rucks if Max gets injured?

And Adelaide have Rachele + Rankine already

Is it possible the price on Tom Mitchell just changed with the Jaegar news? And therefore they need more from Melbourne in the Grundy deal to secure that?

Timmy Lamb would be feeling less comfortable than he’d like right about now. Most likely it gets done without too much fuss but the fact Collingwood are going to the media on this (after starting the discussions in good faith) suggests some risk that they might dig in and go harder on this than Lamb had expected.

Draft night trading also

Relax, everyone is getting too worked up this trade period. It’s about winning the war, not every battle. Sam Weideman being traded and/or not receiving a future second round pick in the jackson scenario won’t dramatically influence our future. I’m comfortable Lamb etc are well on top of what they need to be on top of.

Can’t see why he would want to come to us… won’t be any shot at playing 1s with Grawn in tandem. If he leaves Freo, it would be to get opportunity, surely?

This is a bit dramatic

Bye bye Sam, we all wanted it to work, but sometimes it just doesn’t…

I’m a conspiracy theorist and I believe there is a better-than-bad chance Peter Bell jumped onto BF and made the Josh Bruce rumour up. He’s managed to find a way into the head of every Melbourne and Doggies supporter this trade period so he thought he’d just find another way to play with our minds.

At least Libba’s are original

If we believe that Luke doesn’t want Melbourne screwed over (which I take at face value) the idea that there is growing, published opinion that Freo’s offer isn’t good enough only helps our cause because you just know Freo will be in his ear telling him Melbourne are being unreasonable. Hopefully this has some effect on opening his mind to the idea of West Coast. Edit. It would be an amazing outcome for us if he toured Wet Toast facilities / that’d really freak out the Freo fans and at least put some heat back on Bell

Wet toast will give us 12 in that scenario, not 8 as it still trumps the Flogmantle offer even with 12 in it (and we’re in record as saying ‘best offer wins’)
