    Thanks Goodwindees, makes a lot of sense. Hearing Bombers will offer Reid a massive deal and also have 2025 picks and future picks to get a deal done makes sense for West Coast to offer Warner that sort of deal in advance
  2. Would have gone with Spreadsheet
  3. Cheers to all track watchers for the info very much appreciated
  4. Very similar to what happens in WA
  5. I tend to agree and weโ€™re all entitled to our opinion and thereโ€™s a bias in how we each view things, leading to assumptions and people maybe seeing what they want to see I would consider CP was somewhat a little anxious (despite having a clear the air address with the group) about how heโ€™d be received on return. Heโ€s spoken about his concerns with the club previously about letting standards drop and why wouldnโ€™t he just come back head down and be as professional as you can in setting/maintaining standards. Itโ€s not his role to sell the club, Iโ€™ve seen this man in games this year almost try and carry the team across the line on his own in a refusal to lose. The man went back out on the ground on KB for the team when he clearly wasnโ€™t right. Iโ€™ll never question his commitment to be the best player he can be and if he sets a bar on standards for others to follow I like that. If he performs on the ground for us whilst building his own brand off field to set up his future Iโ€™m okay with that. I just want to get back to being a side who you know will bring effort, accountability, team first and a buy in that we can see they are playing to a plan each week
  6. Biggest thing is across the board buy in on team first It was evident in 2021 needs to get back to that fine balance between me/we - do your job for the team
  7. Petty, Oliver, Fritsch and Sparrow all need good years and if they do and our regular players stay on the park we will go well. Jefferson and the new boys just need a bit of exposure and opportunity to develop under the more experienced players
  8. I would imagine Simon would remain in Perth, his boy Sonny heading in to Yr 11 and settled in school. Be surprised if he moved
  9. Took longer then I expected but the Genius that is โ€œChris from Camberwellโ€ finally called Dwayne to ask why Melbourne wouldnโ€™t consider Longmire

    We drafted our Premiership Captain thatโ€™s how I look at it, yes we made some errors but we arenโ€™t Robinson Crusoe there
  11. Iโ€™m putting Cody Curtin in that group by seasons end, upside of this kid is huge
  12. Love reading this, it is absolutely the small things, which become habit that create discipline and everyone understanding and maintaining minimum standards
  13. I believe so, Gaff had great endurance to repeatedly get involved in transition chains but I donโ€™t believe he had the capability by acceleration or penetration/depth of kicking to break lines or be really damaging
  14. Gaff never had penetration in his kick
  15. Welcome aboard the Dee train Xavier. 2 skilled left footers in 1 night
  16. Welcome aboard the Dee train Harvey/Langers Happy with this outcome
  17. Mail is Richmond super tight lipped on Pick 1 LALOR/SMITH. If SMITH goes 1 it changes a lot IMO
  18. Rumour from a local footy person in WA, Richmond may be prepared to pounce at 6 Validity is not totally known but he does have contacts in clubland. said to him I believe Tigers may be putting that out there to maybe force our hand at 5, which I donโ€™t think will happen 1 more sleep to go
  19. Yes I agree you just back yourselves to have a program where they buy in
  20. Yes I do, but if we take him hoping his GF relocates and he gets a clean run at it and settles in well with the group forming a decent bond
  21. Not related
  22. He would be wrapped he is a big Pies fan
