Redleg

If he is that good and available, then take him. Either swap him for Reid at some stage, or at least try and convince him to stay on after initial 3 years. If he is playing finals with us and WC are say middle of the ladder, he might be happy to stay.

They are probably two different situations. BBB was injured and couldn't play. He is now saying the knee is ok. We will see how he goes in the pre season. Tom Mac was apparently fit and played in the finals and could not bend down, turn, run, contest or simply have any impact. That suggests he is not improving in any of those areas this year. Again we will see how he goes in the Pre Season. I don't think either player would enjoy playing at Casey the whole year, so it is probably in their hands what happens in the last year of their contracts. The club has salary cap room this year, to settle their contracts on a compromised amount, if they retire before the draft and allow us to have another selection. It won't kill us however, to have them on the list for one more year, but if one retires, we could probably use the spot for one of the later drafts, or to uplift a rookie, or to have for the 24 draft. If we are forced into playing Tom Mac next year, in the same form he was in at the end of this year, we are in trouble.

No.

Spargo, Chandler, ANB, Hunter and Smith for starters. Hibbo and JJ who have gone.

Don’t call me Shirley.

What if we just draft Curtin and offer to swap players next year. Both players would agree and it would cost us only 6.

Watching Reid in red and blue tear up the opposition.

Then we have Reid. Don’t think we will get Darling. Why would he leave?

44 and 63 for Brockman and we offered F2 for McAdam and Crows knocked it back. Wow.

Certainly if we have Kozzie, Spargo, Chandler, ANB, Woey and McAdam, with AMW a possible still to come, it would be extremely hard for Laurie to get a game.

Darling at 191 cms is not the big key forward player either, for example Petty, JUH and Allen all 197 cms .

As a WA player with an apparently young family, he is staying and getting his money from the Eagles. This is a salary dump being added to the already high price for 1, but the player imo will refuse to be part of it and why should he, when he can stay home and be paid a fortune for the next 2 years.

I can’t believe these statements that this draft is only about 10 players deep. I am absolutely certain that some clubs will take later selections and that some of those players will be good AFL players.

What does Crom mean?

Imagine we traded JVR and then Petty asked to go. You and me could be in the key forward slots.

I can see that.

Thank you for that.

Why. You don't seriously think they have just asked for Petty because McAdam wants to come to us do you? He is a target and was long before McAdam decided he wanted to leave.

We got F3 for a younger Premiership player, who has played 3 times the amount of games. F2 will get this done, they are just making us sweat because of Petty staying and we got 11. It would happen sooner if they found someone they wanted from another club, otherwise it gets done by Wednesday.

I thought so. Took me a while to get it just right.

Wouldn’t think McAdam’s Manager would be happy. In the memory bank, if another player is deciding between Crows and another club.

They are upset because they want Petty and possibly because we beat them to 11. They will drag it out, Dodoro and now Mackie style.

.

They are definitely smaller. With bigger population and mass production, product quality has been sacrificed for the mighty dollar. Chocolate tastes like plastic, biscuits like wallpaper etc.

Whether it’s overpaid by the Crows or not, for the Dees to even consider it, requires a replacement of Fogarty or Thilthorpe, 10 and McAdam thrown in. Crows want Petty and we want to keep him, so it takes a buster offer. You could even ask for another late pick for Fullarton as an ambit claim. However looking like Petty stays.
