Yep made comment on another thread (can't recall which one it was) but saw a very special IMO future talent in the Subiaco 14s Malachy Champion, who I think is one to look out for in 2023 draft

WA had close to a full junior season. 11 game season as opposed to the usual 15 + finals. 10 games H & A with top 2 playing the GF. There was 8 game WAFL Colts + finals. WAFL Development Squads had their trials for u/14 & 15s squads across the 9 WAFL clubs with final squads selected. Each WAFL development squad played 2 matches against other WAFL development squads in their relevant year group

Yes absolutely but can't see it materialising that way. Be a hard call at 18 and 19 pucking 2 because I think taking both Carroll and Macrae leaves you without real burst speed. They both look like good ball users can win their own footy and make good decisions. To me Perkins wouldn't be one I'd pass up as he has that x factor and I think can be a game changer, so if he's there at 18 and 19 you are taking him along with Macrae IMO, hoping Carroll somehow slips to 28 Wood could be one you consider as a developing wing option or you consider Laurie at 28 If we get 2 of the 3 at picks 18 and 19 weve done well

Trolls are getting worse every year

The ones I think could slide out. Pies I think need a reset with their list Lions - great run for a couple of years but think they may fall back with regular travel back next year West Coast - they will either go close to making a prelim or fall away completely. The cliff is close for Hurn, Kennedy and Shuey. Yeo has some groin issues and Nic Nat won't have the luxury of the shortened quarters. Saints - still not sold on them see them as a team floating from 5th to 12th depending on injury and form I think ourselves, Blues and Dockers will be the sides pushing to jump in

Roos need bookends to build around will IMO take McDonald if Crowd don't. If Crows take him they will take Holland and Grainger-Barras or another KPD at 11 if DGB doesn't last that late Bombers I think will take best available inside big sized mid, best available key tall and Will Phillips if they hold those picks

I think one of Macrae, Carroll or Perkins will be there at 18

Medium size players needed who can have a combination of at least 2/3 of use the ball well have pace run and carry win their own ball intercept win groundballs/apply pressure hit the scoreboard 1 or 2 players always slide, I think 1 from Mcrae, Perkins, Chapman will slide. Wouldn't mind taking one of them with one of Carroll, Powell or Henry with picks 18 and 19. Pick 28 best available for our needs if Downie is available then bid for him here

Eddie's ego is about wrestling back support not immediate recovery. Nothing like a big signing to build hope and garner favour with the masses

Beware the Pies and Eddie's ego. They may look to trade in someone big coming out of contract next season to win back disgruntled supporters

So did you come on to offer something or just be negative. You can actually answer your own questions by reviewing other threads or going to the AFL site. Let's be truthful you rarely post when we win have contributed little during trade period won't acknowledge the excellent deal for Brown would be the first to complain if we tied up $1.1million of our cap in Phillips and Treloar which meant we could not give Clarrie and Jackson what they wanted to extend. Let's not even contemplate the Dogs gave up a first rounder for Treloar. But hey any chance to have a baseless shot at the club and we know you're in the first dozen FMD

I'm not, yes he'd have been a good acquisition but we don't want to fall into the same trap as the Pies with contracts. Tmac will be a year down on his contract next season and we'll need money in the cap for Clarrie and LJ

I'm hearing he's keen to stay. Settled in really well with the group. Both WA clubs have sounded him out, but it's believed he will stay. Smart move to not extend at this stage

Yes I believe he will. I

Because we keep one of them and I anticipate Pies will slide next season that's why. Gets us back into next years forst round and I'm backing us to finish above the Pies in 2021

Would we trade 18 or 19 for Pies 2021 first rounder? Considering Nick Daicos anticipated to go Top 5 next season

Yes reading all those apology posts is amazing. Memories are short, next season the same naysayers will repeat their doubts

But nobody on here reads that or listens to trade radio. They just hear things??

Take your pick, Petty, Smith, Jetta( although the end is near) and Tmac is looking more likely to stay

Disagree it's a small industry and people move from club to club all the time they are professional enough. Applying and getting are 2 different things. Put yourself in his position your position is under review and you don't know the outcome a vacancy becomes available, what do you do?

He's applied for the Essendon Head of Football job

Not saying he's quick, just saying of the current crop he's the one I like the most. Although I agree with Rjay that Mcrae could be a gun wingman if used there more often

There's no one player around playing on a wing who has all his attributes Acceleration Clean hands Penetration in his kick Good cruise speed Modern day wingers tend to be endurance beasts working between the arcs, but Matera had that ability to burst off half back either with the ball or providing an outside option at full tilt. If I could have my pick of a current wingman it's Mcluggage

Going to be a good pick up for whoever gets him.
