Trade for now, draft for the future

8. got the scare of 186 and the goals that iron gloves dawes kicked wrong

yep, but that's cos we were down so low so we got what he was valued at in terms of it being a pick after our first rounder, ergo pick 3 also a farce, but not a ridiculous one like these nga players and discounts and points accumulation and rules on the run...

seeing as this is the first instance where two very talented brothers are both part of one of these farcical next generation academy thingoes i doubt very much it's ever happened green will be taken by gw$ no matter what i doubt we will nominate him, and thus gw$ will get two super players - it's an absolutely ridiculous situation

there's three theories with draft picks: - he ends up a star; i always wanted him! - he's a good, not great player; he's fine...i guess, but if only we picked xyz! - he's no good; i never wanted him in the first place it's all pot luck and then development

pretty much a fait accompli if you believe the experts things to factor in: - no quality talls in this draft outside of jackson and fish mcasey - no quality talls in 2020 draft outside of the player tied to the dogs - quality of 2020 draft very poor, even before you factor in the father-son and nga picks which will likely dominate top 30 selections i'll back us in to develop him

gets it in limited quantities, good in the air, excellent speed, decent set shot - he should play forward

I would rather know why Petty is not back training than see these mind numbing arguments What was his injury at the end of the year again?

Another endorsement from me

general feeling: pick 1 and 2 - rowell and anderson (gc17) pick 3-5 - green (gw$, cos someone will nominate him out of us, crows, and swans) pick 4 - jackson (dees) pick 5 - flanders (crows) pick 6 - ash / young / kemp / serong (swans) pick 7 - robertson (dockers) pick 8 - traded or ash / young / kemp / serong / weightman (dees) Jackson won’t get to pick 8 apparently

Firming to be picked at 3, allegedly

wide diaspora

Peptides mate can’t understand why they’ve ditched Brown considering that Hartley walked out She says he’s a terrific fella with a great attitude Reckons he’s on a par with McKernan for them

in fairness, they're going to pay him $3m over five seasons, a third of that in his first season...lot of moolah for a bloke who is relatively unproven

is there any shot bennell will be fit for rd 1?

i think the thing is that a lot of players aren't drafted out of wa that much anymore - only 14 across national, psd, rookie, and mid-season draft in 2019 (and four of those to wa-based clubs) if a player is good - see kelly, hogan, yeo - then they often do return 'home'

pure jealousy on their part that he's been part of a regular finals team for the last, what, five seasons? he has more finals experience than our entire leadership team COMBINED

i remember in grundy's year i wanted us to draft him at 4, but alas he slid and slid and he's now a $1m+ player and the, ahem, second best ruckman in the competition if jackson is as good as some pundits believe then he'll go higher than grundy's pick 18 or english's pick 19 i'd still prefer young and kemp / serong / ash, but could understand why they might go a mid-sized player and a tall at 3 and 8...that's even if we finish with 3 and 8 by the time our selections come around

and at a rumoured $1.5m over two seasons, he'd be crazy not to!

Keep Howe, no Oliver...I know who I prefer He was always going to the pies after getting on the cans with his childhood hero in Bali Took less money and was promised a role as a forward...was back in the magoos and then recast as a defender straight away Has become a much better, more mature player at the Pies, as he should as he has had his prime years there

One home (anzac eve) and one away (against the crows or someone like that)

huge opportunity round 1 is always a mystery and there's usually some surprise results

the delisted free agency period opens in three days due diligence happening directly before it opens? interesting...

his management team has been harder at work than sam murray's to claim there's interest in him i am not opposed to it at all - certainly prefer him on cheap coin for a season compared to jack martin's $1.6m over two - but i just have no faith that he'll ever get his body right if we are doing a medical that means we're either very close to making an offer, i would assume? then it's up to bennell the thought of a fit and firing harley revving up the flanks at the g is tantalising... B: Jetta - May - Hibberd HB: Salem - Lever - Harmes ? Langdon - Brayshaw - Tomlinson HF: Petracca - T Mac - Bennell HF: Fritsch - Weideman - Melksham Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney I/c: Jones - Hannan - Petty - one of our early picks Emerg: Preuss - O Mac - ANB - our other early pick
