2028? 2028?? I wish there was an ALLCAPS equivalent for numbers so I could demonstrate how much I am SHOUTING

Very wishful thinking Simply, the cliff has arrived for a few of our older players - unfortunately probably starting with Max, May and Viney.

Whatever. Even if we got 1 that year, Adelaide would have given us two for Oliver, we already had two, and we’d have picked up 5 first rounders in one hit, who would all be 2 years in now

This, completely. It’s time i still maintain we should have taken the 4 first rounders we could have had for Oliver and Petty when we had the chance.

Honestly don’t really care at this stage of the year, really was just making an observation

A good time to practice getting used to not having him

Bizarre

Why??

That’s the way!! You can’t be wrong that way, at least.

That’s not a great list to quote in support of an argument. Fritsch is the only one who’s anywhere near it, and he was (from memory) a pick in the late 20s/early 30s

Dont associate that clown with me!! lol

Given how much cap space we have, I would happily, happily pay $300 k a year and probably more to get those two picks in the door. Happily

I’d say Salem was instrumental in winning a flag, and Kelly has been great but hasn’t got GWS that far really. Not saying we ‘won’ that trade but I’m happy with what we’ve got from Salo over the journey

I suspect at least two and probably all three will

Oh I’m not suggesting we had anyone in mind, but we aren’t going to change anybody’s mind at the moment. Don’t kid yourself, though, we have plenty of cash if we needed it. We just aren’t in the right space to be a destination. Houston is prime case in point. If he was really keen, we’d find a later pick than 5 to make it happen.

Sure is - mainly because nobody wants to come to us! Head to the draft and start again next year I guess

I never understand why people make a fuss of a pick being lower after academy picks etc. We will get exactly the same player at 33 as we would have got at 28 - the whole point of those picks is that we don’t have access to those players

Your wasting your breath there sue, I’d not bother

Gee I’d love to see the ‘company line tonight’ post from Max to the players WhatsApp group or whatever it is they use to communicate with each other

I opened this thread hoping it was examples of the emails you’ve all been sending to Gary this week

Rightio The issue is nobody can tell me who we should have played instead. I’d take Clarry at 80% over any of the other options at 100

Yeah, name one! Otherwise the argument is nonsense

Name the player you’d have had in the team instead

That’s just absolute rot. He got Brownlow votes, he was fine

True I mean, the depth at Casey was just smashing the door down after all
