  1. Surely Giants would part with pick 12 if we’re paying a significant amount of salary? Weak draft and they could be getting the last piece of a premiership puzzle on the cheap
  2. It does seem like that doesn’t it? Reckon we’re paying the price for the club’s delusion that we’d be a contender in 2025 Still, I’d rather a club that’s willing to make the tough calls than not make any calls at all
  3. Wow I guess I retract my previous post suggesting people need to relax 🤣 Would hope that if we were paying up to $700,000 of his wage we’d be asking for a high pick in return Genuinely surprised we seem to be open to moving on both Trac and Clarry in one off season I’m not against it at it’s clear we’re not a contender in our current form, but geez you’d hope we’d have a plan to bring in some best 23 players in the next year or two or we’re going to be in for a lot of pain
  4. Think people really need to relax about this one The only fact we know is that King is meeting Oliver, and that sounds like a totally standard process to me As is King outlining his expectation and what role he sees Oliver playing next year I reckon Edmund has added a bit of mayo regarding the uncertainty about his playing future And regardless, we need to be honest that as much as Oliver looked to improve somewhat at the end of this year, he is still significantly down on his pre 2023 form and may never return to it He didn’t poll a single Brownlow vote this year and (correct me if I’m wrong) don’t think he polled a Coach’s vote either I’d be disappointed if King wanted to continue business as usual Now that doesn’t mean trading Clarry - and the club themselves haven’t confirmed they want to do this - but it does mean making clear to him that depending on his form he might not be a walk up CBA midfielder anymore He and his manager would then be free to make any decisions they feel are best for him All sounds pretty fair to me
  5. Yuck How hard is it to tell a bloke he’ll be playing midfield
  6. The key forward we needed was on our list all along
  7. Great interview from King I love his confidence but even more I love his transparency
  8. Pick 6 or 7 not enough on its own, would need at least another late first rounder I’d think
  9. I suddenly believe everything Sam Faff says
  10. I’ve got a soft spot for Rachelle and think he’s exactly the type of player we need to bring in, so would do him + a first round pick in a heart beat Hopefully we’re testing the waters with his manager to see if he’d want to come home, as this might be his best chance given he’s contracted to 2029 I think
  11. The key forward Adelaide will give up:
  12. My take is that while he’s not a game breaking kick like a Houston or Zorko type, he generally has high disposal efficiency and is good at accumulating and hitting those 30m targets that we so often struggle with
  13. Please be true I am CRASHING OUT about this off season already
  14. Have to agree here and I really hope we’re not setting King up to fail Without some shrewd additions we’re essentially rolling out the same squad that’s had two back to back bottom six finishes We might get a bounce from his coaching and natural improvement from our young players, but our senior core is also another year older and some (Trac and May) might not even be there at all Let’s hope Lamb pulls a rabbit out of a hat, but his recent history doesn’t fill me with any confidence
  15. Yikes Does Lamb know there’s a trade period coming up?
  16. Tell his manager that if he wants to go home we’re only dealing with West Coast If it’s about returning to WA he shouldn’t mind which team he’s playing for right? 🙄 Honestly pretty annoyed that we plucked him out of obscurity as a late rookie pick, developed him into a solid half back and from reports gave him a positive indication of his future playing position, and he still leaves? See ya Judd - hope you’re prepared to play WAFL next year if you dish up your 2025 form
  17. When you wake up I’d love to hear some of that gossip about King 👀
  18. This x100 The one thing I’ll always give credit to Goody for is that he had our list primed to play finals footy in 21-23 Putting aside our conversion in front of goal, was there any final in that time that we were beaten on ball? We were in every game to the death and would argue beat ourselves in three of the four finals Clearly we need more balance to our game to improve our transition and scoring power (and not only rely on winning contest), but finals always show that when push comes to shove in a big game contest is king You just need to be able to finish your work, which sadly we couldn’t after 21
  19. Lamb’s track record since 2021 is damning and a large part of why we’ve had two bottom six finishes in a row If he can’t bring in some new talent this year - and not just rejects from other clubs - it should be see ya for 2027 onwards
  20. Reckon that GF performance might have convinced King to retain Petracca Geelong absolutely monstered at the contest in the last qtr and a half
  21. Huge from Brisbane - showed that their best was still the best when it mattered And I won’t credit it all to F/S and academies as their coaching and trades have been near best in the comp for years now But the AFL now have a serious problem on their hands - you can’t claim equalisation and then have a back to back premier add a top five talent via their academy (a year after doing the same thing via F/S) Reforming the trade and draft system in the name of equalisation has to be at the top of Greg Swan’s list this off season, otherwise we’re going to have an even more lopsided comp in years to come And unfortunately the Dees will be on the wrong side of that ledger
  22. Need Flanders to actually nominate us though If we don’t match or at least get near the Saints contract offer it won’t matter
