Zanker is out of contract. McNamara is contracted for another year.

Don’t know how that happens. She’s contracted and GC need a bazillion draft points for all of their gun academy players

Andrew Dillon is completely out of his depth. I’m pretty neutral about a wildcard round but that is just idiotic. He is the most mediocre AFL executive in memory. His decision-making, the way he communicates. It is remarkable they thought he was up to the job. Laura Kane has copped a lot of heat for things that he is ultimately responsible for.

Yes, he’s doing an MBA. He was back in WA for his brother’s wedding though.

Riley Beverage reporting that Chaplin is out. Huge loss

It seems like there might be 7 clear stand outs (of the non-NGA/FS) then a step down to the next level. Duursma, CDT, Robey, Grlj, X Taylor, Sharp and Cummings. At least we should get one.

Whilst I like Molly O, we missed a trick not getting Zippy Fish in. She just looks a natural footballer and has it all.

Two wrongs don’t make a right 😜

Jeff Farmer…

The fact that finishing last is a possibility, even if fairly remote, means trading either of our 2026 or 2027 F1s is a very bad idea IMO. North should improve, though their defence is still trash. I think Essendon will be worse next year, even though they had a spectacularly bad run with injury, but could be wrong if they can get some continuity. Tigers and eagles should be bottom two again. Port could drop but there are not many others above us who I could confidently say will fall.

I hope we don’t sell the farm for Robey

oops, missed this post

Adrian Caruso (GWS recruiter) said on SEN yesterday that they really rate the first 12 or so, though I can’t remember the exact words he used, then drops off after that. Top end not as elite as usual, as you have said. But it seems that our range (7/8 moving to 11/12ish) may actually be at a normal quality for that range.

Injuries killed Freo and that’s what we will rely on with GCS. They are now absolutely stacked
