Swannies depth impacted by poor drafting outside of academy picks and assets spent on acquiring Charlie Curnow. Don’t get the hype. Blues should improve with their ins so Blues for mine.

I suspect there'll be a few officials and board members at other clubs feeling slightly relieved they don't have to authorise a market rate bumper 8 year offer to Walsh given his history of back related soft tissue injuries. If he can play consistently at his best then the risk will work for the Blues. If his back issues persist it'll turn into a bad contract pretty quickly.

a taller goal scoring Nibbler?

Saints don't exactly have a stellar midfield so why is he being squeezed out? I'd suggest one paced and lacks flexibility which in an era when every rule change is to open up the game and make it quicker ain't a great calling card.

Clarry's challenge is reach the brutal running levels required of an AFL mid. Possible Dees don't think he can check that box at the level required.

14, future 1st + future 2nd might get Dees to answer phone. 14 will likely be late teens, same as future 1st, future 2nds valuable to trade for higher picks with points chasing teams.

Bedford has a combo of elite endurance and speed not being, fact that he was not picked or playing as sub was an early sign that Goody did not understand the way the game had changed.

A smart footballer. Good overhead for a small and a smart user. Will be in demand. Ideally retain and see how he goes under new coach implementing the transition running game plan de jour that Goody didnt seem to be able to do.

now do 2025...

I don't think so. Maybe 800k but even that is optimistic. And even if he took a paycut to get to new club of his choice suspect we''ll be subsidising his contract to tune of 500k a year give or take. Oliver is not on the contract terms he is on to tag Patrick Cripps. Just the reality.

Better in that it has 5 years to run not six to run but no club is taking on his full contract without Dees attaching a very early pick. And a club that can take on his full contract may not be a club he wants to go to. Its a pickle. Maybe he takes a significant pay cut to get a trade done.

My prediction is both Petracca and Oliver will put in trade requests again. Buckle up!

Saturday Night Blockbuster. Winner can either stay in 12th position or soar to 12th position. Now that we're officially in a rebuild according to Goody I reckon we'll start to see some youngsters who've been in good form in VFL like Verrall and Mentha get a taste of senior footy. Try the steak!

running half backs area a dime a dozen really....
