Which Demon is the most likely to have a breakout year in 2023?
In terms of a breakout - ie shown potential but not put it together consistently - Tom Sparrow for mine. Has all the tools, needs a bit more composure and needs to nail his disposal more often. Does that and he becomes a bona fide weapon.

He always stops and props. Completely destroys momentum. So much so that I suspected he has been instructed to do this to allow the mids to move forward.

One of my faves Seemed to stagnate a bit this year tho but is young and gaining more confidence every game. He is very lucky to be playing in the shadow of two potential legends and can go on learning the caper without undue pressure. Looking fwd to a big '23

2023 Free Agents
Himmelberg has been reinvented as a defender. He was an ordinary fwd IMO He's also an academy player I believe so might be hard to prise out of GWS

It seems we call it his last season every year but boy has he been an important cog for us. Would love for him to continue uninjured into 2023

IF he can get back to his 2021 form he could be a valuable player If not he should never play again for the red and blue. His second half of the year was abysmal. He looked like the mechano man running in concrete and his in ability to take a clean grab was devastating. We clearly need TMac to come back all healed

Farewell Oskar Baker
Probably was. He would have been mentioned in an array of 'possibles'. Suggest there were no takers. Or clubs thought they could punt the free agent/rookie market for him.

Farewell Luke Jackson
Dogga will be under the most pressure of any footballer in the State of WA. And they are pretty feral when it comes to under-performance. He is in for a torrid ride
- Welcome to Demonland Lachie Hunter

Farewell Sam Weideman
Interesting only 1 mark in that highlights package. Says it all really. Lovely bloke and I wish him all the best but we have to keep the list turning over.

Farewell Sam Weideman
The same people lamenting Weid leaving lamented Oscar McDonald leaving.

We cannot draft again from WA
Maybe you could have a contract that witheld say 20% and should they request to 'go home' it is forfeited... If the club decides to move them on any monies witheld will be paid out... Might make players think twice about breaking contracts...

Do the Dees have the pieces to make another premiership tilt?
Oscar is a B Grader according to Buckenara! And we should have traded Langdon because we have too many similar players. Seriously he is a peanut.

Trade and Free Agency rumours
Tim Lamb comments are spot on I reckon “We don't get tied up in the minutiae of every little deal, which I think is an approach that we take, which allows us to get deals done generally in a timely fashion. “If you look at Luke (Jackson) going out, Brodie’s come in. We've lost Jayden Hunt as a free agent and Lachie Hunter comes in. Kade Chandler will come up from the rookie list to replace Toby Bedford, who we lost. Sam Weideman goes out, Josh Schache comes in. Then we've got a much-improved draft hand.”

Farewell Luke Jackson
Will always be grateful to Jacko for helping secure a Premiership and his 3rd qtr in the GF was scintillating. But... he is dead to me now. I'll show as much loyalty to him as he has to us.

Adam Tomlinson on the move?
TMac will come back and JVR will play round 1. So as much as I like the idea of Petty fwd it wont be standard fare week in week out.

2022 Player Reviews: #29 Jayden Hunt
Played the lock down defender role quite well this year at the expense of his run and carry. Got beaten a few times by Papley which is no disgrace. Don't think Goodwin ever liked him

2022 Player Reviews: #38 Mitch Brown
I really like Brown Old fashioned footballer with a wise head. Sadly he seemed to be stuck between the VFL and AFL talent wise

Farewell Luke Jackson
Thats what I don't get. LJ was a highly speculative pick at 3 yet he has excelled with an excellent CV. Almost universally predicted to be a 10 year superstar. JHF? Really? A muppet that needs to grow up

Farewell Brodie Grundy
This. For our much vaunted midfield we do not dominate as we should.

Tim Lamb on Trade Radio
10 games over 4 years plus 8 games as the unused medi sub this year Yeah, he has been badly handled. I can see why he wants out. Kinda obvious.
