Min 3 year rookie Contracts with club option for a 2 year extension. This should make this sort of players 'untouchable' for at least 5 years.

Then we should scrap the draft and just have an academy system like the EPL! Why bother?!

Wasn't there another guy from GWS that is going to Geelong? I remember him.for.that picture so excited when he was drafted by GWS 🤣🤣🤣

My contention is, how invested was LJ this season knowing he was gone? Is that fair for us? I guess it wasn't as crazy an idea to bench him in the latter part of the season..

I would like to discuss the brokenness of the draft system. Many top draft picks barely staying for 2-3 years with the teams that gave them a go. What would you do to make it fairer for struggling clubs? (Not that we are one of them, but we could be in the future) I am filthy about Jackson, especially with all the information that has transpired today.

Tampered competition if you ask me. With the very low power the clubs seem to have over the players, it is unfair that they are permitted all these sort of liberties midway season in which the team was pursuing back to back premierships.

One thing is sure, the draft system sucks! Top Draft picks my [censored]!, they are not assets when you can't keep those players for at least 5 years in your team. I'd rather prefer there was a separate draft for each state.

Pettracca's big brother is Cadman's agent 👀👀

Some of these journos have no mora face to save so why bother 🤣🤣

So it seems some commentators and journalists do the bidding of some clubs. I can't find any other reason to insists on this baseless rumour.

Probably worse than that the power resides in the agents. They are the ones whispering all this sort of diatribe to the players of "you are worth 1 million a year" ..

Who would you say is really gettable, this year or next? E.g. Naughton is not

Is he better option than a McKay or B King though? Could Georgiadis be complementary to the above mentioned (if we can go for either next year)?

I don't think we need that X factor small forward, we already got him. I am more of the idea of getting a KPF, Imagine a Forward line of: JVR, Fritsch, Kozzie and one of McKay/King/Insert name

Bit stiff on Lever, he had immediate impact in 2018 (only hampered by the injury). 2019 a [censored] year for the whole team. 2020 was decent 2021 All Australian 2022 Inconsistent For mine it's still a good deal for us so far. Just consider were Adelaide is at the moment...

Yep, I received such email today. I am paying extra 50 AUD for my renewal.

Surely not all WA boys want/need home? As said before, please help him get a local gf.

He can become our second ruck so we don't pay absurd amounts of money for Grundy (high risk IMO)

Richmond got Tom Lynch after they lost in 2018. WCE had a great FWD line in 2018 I think structurally is not sustainable to have a subpar KPF, not if we want to win multiple flags.

Now that the season is over...and so is the GF.. I wanted to distract my head of thinking about Geelong Premiers 🤮🤮🤮🤮 We definitely need a huge KPF and not a injury prone and expensive Ruckman. If we were to use all our resources and, despite the contractual circumstances of any of these KPF, who would DL take? I have heard many names: Harry McKay Ben King Logan McDonald Any other KPF that may be available to us? Discuss.

We wouldn't, as reigning premiers we would show some pride and fighting spirit at the very least. Clayton Oliver by himself would trump over Paddy "Throws" Dangerfield.

What about potential imports from other regions? I.e. USA and the thousands of college athletes that can't make it to NBA or NFL? Any chances to utilise that?

On top of that the context of those numbers. Neale got 1 vote from Rd 23 for accumulating stats in junk time once the Dees put the game to sleep in the first half.

Clarry is a reigning two time champion player of the year (Coaches'), had a better individual season compared to 2021 and Trac had a worse individual season in 2022 : Oliver votes in 2021 - 31 Oliver votes in 2022 - 25 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

By tenfold!
