We did not do this, without influence from Oliver and you know this he is invested to a certain degree, he’s not without issue and not meeting expectations of required professional standards in 2025. Why do you think clubs aren’t jumping at him for $6-700k and a Future third

Or someone trolling?

I’d be a no to Swadling, tbh

Pickett is leaving when we get what he considers unders for Clarrie . Can not believe posters actually try and talk footy with this bloke. A Sherrin would provide better footy conversation

Weren’t you leaving Demonland and not signing up as a member . He’s gone, he was great best after Robbie I’ve seen but the ship has sailed and time for us all to move on and you to keep your promises.

But it’s a lazy option to blame umps as in the men’s as opposed to looking at Basics like playing in front, lower the eyes or go lateral when the opposition drops an extra back, skill errors and really poor decision making

You need 2 way runners in a midfield there isn’t one there

It’s a sad time but a necessary time, which is probably at 12-24 months too late. Whilst I understand this is an emotional game and we’re all invested with the club, there’s some poor posting in regards to Clarry and the club. Clarry was the best mid I have seen in my 46 seasons supporting the club. Robbie Flower was a wing so I make the separation. He’s won numerous B&Fs, AFLPA, AFL coaches awards and AA and he was a vital part in delivering my greatest moment and no doubt many other supporters greatest moment on 25/09/2021. That can’t be taken away and I will always thank him for that. He probably doesn’t want to hear it but the club needs to move him on and I understand the hurt from his side, however at some stage he needs to have a really good look at himself. Standards dropped, poor culture festered and resentment grew within the playing group and Clarry was a big part of the last 2. Goody may have felt he could control him, but he lost part of the playing group with his treatment towards Clarry and I think it clouded his judgement and impacted his coaching. I applaud the new coach and CEO, they have all the information and evidence of the last 3 seasons and pre seasons. I wish Clarry the best in his career but really hope he blossoms off field. His words were immature and without thought, but time heals wounds and the memories of what he did and achieved in the red and blue will stay forever. He will and should be welcomed back at reunions. No player is bigger than the club and the decision is for the best

There’s a difference in opposition supporters thinking you’re a DH and the inner circle or footy department having to deal with issues you create off field with poor behaviour. So think Maynard and Zorko are off the mark despite them rattling opposition feathers. Mitch Robinson hasn’t been at Brisbane for years and neither Bruhn nor Smith were at the Cats in 2022, which potentially proves having DH causing issues off field impacts on field

We’ll agree to disagree

You have to be taking the [censored], the guy is class and an absolute game changer, would improve our ball movement overnight

There’s always a positive

If they want him it just means posturing and holding your nerve to the last day of trade period. Keeping the Crows and Suns involved is a benefit

It doesn’t matter what the crows want, they need a big bodied mid who can create score assists while moving forward. If they want him Soligo will become surplus to requirements. Their window is open and they are missing a bull. We”ll ask for Thilthorpe or Rankine, they’ll say no and that’s how trade talks start, if they haven’t already

They’re both Subiaco boys, Kolt from their regional zone and Luka from their metro zone. Both part of their 2005 crop so with development, Futures and Colts added to WA squads they have a fair history together

Spoke to him last Wednesday he’s just bought a house near Unley, seems well settled and he mentioned the Trac whisper's

He’d be a good get and replacement for Judd, improving our ball movement off halfback. He’s highly rated by Freo and not sure they’ll let him go, they will also likely be chasing Bobby Hill

Yes I keep forgetting the academy picks I suspect 25-30 for him

2 deep who are they? Duff-Tyler, Duursma, Sharpe and Marsh can all play. There’s others showing form late as happens every year and moving up the boards. There may not be the depth of other drafts but there’s still good players in there and there will be late gems unearthed

I really like him but think may have been sore in the back end, played some senior footy but still showed some real class with ball in hand

Decent bunch from WA Spawton-Guy developing tall fwd who can pinch hit in ruck, takes good contested marks, forward awareness with leading patterns and reading flight also a nice competitive edge Stirling- intercept key defender reads the play well and had a good season in underperforming side Lecras- son of Brett, a footballer with good goal sense and footy smarts, question marks on pace but personally see him developing long term into a big bodied mid Van Rooyen- developing ruck who has flourished since champs, improved his ground ball game and cleaner with hands for a tall in congestion. Having much greater impact around the ground and developing his ruck craft. Strong finish to the season with big finals campaign and a Premiership Gale - son of mark, classy half back/outside mid. Clean skills, composure and footy smarts. Moves well through traffic and decision making is good. See him long term as rebounding half back who is prepared to take game on and hurt opposition with foot skills Mellody - this kid is a star in the making, can play across all lines, clean skills at ground level, game sense and composure around stoppages and vision to make something out of nothing I haven’t seen in a while. One of those players who can turn defence into attack with penetrating kick and impact scoreboard off halfback. I expect him to climb the draft order in next 12 months Robinson - big bodied mid who knows how to find footy and uses it well in tight. Impacts scoreboard and around the ground. Impacts stoppages and wins clearances with brutal attacks on the footy. Disposal by foot needs work

I reckon he’ll slip to mid second round

WAFL Colts Grand Final this Sunday South Fremantle vs Claremont Some Draft prospects for this and next year on the Big Stage South Fremantle Whan -25 Half back/mid Rodrigues-25 mid Robison-26 mid Foster- 26 Ruck Wilson-26 med def Claremont Curtin-25 Tall Fwd Hopkins-25 overager defender C.Banfield -25 mid/fwd Van Rooyen-26 Ruck Gale-26 Half back/wing/mid H.Banfield-26 mid/fwd Braun-26 wing Mellody-26 half back Should be a good contest

Think you nailed it with his ability to defend stoppage, holds position and moves offensively when the time is right. I like getting him in for midfield balance. Personally think he’s got plenty as a midfielder in terms of tank, shut down and hurt the other way simultaneously which is very underrated At the right price a yes
