Joel Smith

There was word that he wanted to come back and we said no

All of the above

If Jackson, Pickett and Rivers progress and Brown plays and the rest show a bit we are a real chance. We just ned to play smarter and not bomb the ball but lower the eyes.

It's only a rookie spot, so it's worth a crack. If he doesn't improve then we part ways. But I'd like him to have the year to prove his worth. Next year Woey's son is in the draft and I hope we take him too. He's supposed to be very good.

Freo are out of the picture.

It shouldn't affect them as Hore will be placed on long term injury list and his replacement will cover him, if we choose to.

I agree he'd be better value as a HFF or midfield player with his gr8 kicking skills.

Ox was a very skilled big man. He could sidestep an opponent and a great kick.

Not sure how often Lewis can help out he'll probably be on commentating duties with 7.

"Under AFL rules clubs are allowed to invite a maximum of six players to train with the squad from January 6 to trial for a spot on the rookie list during the pre-season supplemental selection period which ends on March 9. They need to submit their list to the AFL by December 18.“ Apart from Deakyn Smith and Taj Woewodin (possible f/s 2021) and maybe fingers crossed Wiz junior ... who else anyone got any info?

Hope he is given a crack over the praccie matches

Did some research apparently Taj is not eligible for this year's intake.

Is Tay eligible for this year or is it more for 2021. So if Deakyn, Taj and maybe Kobe, any idea who the other 3 might be...?

Anyone can pick him hopefully we do as a rookie. It would be a great marketing tool to have the son of Wiz at the Dees.

See my previous post. Could on the money, might not, but it half explains the strategy of using next year's round one pick (even if we finish 9th again it's 1465 points from memory).

I think it could be strategic. Maybe we have a father son who we rate round oneish, I'm thinkingperhaqps someone from WA whose dad was a fan favourite. Oh yeah, he won a Brownlow too.

What did we pay for him from North?

Pick 50 = 273, so pick 26 (729) + 273= 1002

Maybe we could give Roos the Preuss pick if that ever eventuates.

Now that the Bombres have 2m Peter they won't want T Mac, so luckily for us we won't have to deal with Dodo. I feel sorry in a way for the teams that do.

Melksham this year was very ineffectual. I hope if he gets a game next year it's because his form warrants it, same with Jones if he deserves a game he might make it to 300. We must stop picking players who aren't performing regardless of whether they are mates with the coach or if they are close to a milestone. It's a team game, the team comes first.

Part of me wanted Hogan back. At 55 that is a steal if he plays to his potential.

Can we close this down now, I'm happy he didn't come because 3 years was a stretch.

I knew he wouldn't, hopefully he does the team first thing and plays a mentor role at Casey after he gets to 300. Alternatively if his form doesn't warrant a game I hope he accepts it and plays that mentor role. He's always struck me as a player who puts his needs first, hopefully I'm wrong.
