Ted Lasso

Better off judging him based on the season as a whole which he is seriously in considerations for all Australian rather than a couple of shanks

Very, would put in the back of the players minds that we still aren't climbing the ladder, picks 1 and 2 give us some trade currency to work with though

I spoke to a family member today who is involved at TAC cup level and he was full of praise for Christian Salem, said the kid has it all, guts, skill, work ethic, extremely coachable, fantastic choice, reckons pick 9 will prove to be a steal. also mentioned but not as relevant, he didn't rate Kelly at pick 2, said his phantom draft order would have been 1.Boyd 2.Billings 3.Scharenberg 4. Bontempelli 5. Kelly 6.Salem

Maybe Caro got them? she doesn't seem to be afraid of any big hitters around the league

Having said that I think Tyson at his best is as good as any of them, but he is a little bit hot and cold, Wines and Mcrae are playing like 150 gamers consistently, I know it's a topic to avoid on here, I have faith in Jimmy but wow would Wines be handy in our side

I rate mcrae as the best of the three but all three look future stars to me

I have said it all along, as long as hird is at that club they will be viewed in a bad light, he needs to move on asap

You may be right bb, I have always just viewed Caro as someone who really bobs up when the drama does

If there is no drama, Caro will create some, it's her job I find myself constantly thinking she has pushed the relevant point at the time too far

I would think there will be plenty, the pies mini rebuild has their list in a really good spot at the moment, some really good top end talent and like us they tend to do alright with later picks

Not sure what trade value geary would have

We could realistically finish last again as depressing as that is, surely if the AFL considers that we might well finish last, we have lost Clark, and will more than likely also lose frawley, I think we have the case to strongly push for a pick, just a question of if they're willing to give us one given our past

If you watched Grundy play at the end of last year you would have seen he is an obvious talent, but these big boys take time I personally was shocked Grundy was taken outside the top 10

Stone is in charge of development I believe

I'd hate to suggest it but surely if we finish bottom 3 again an application for a priority pick will be made, we're sitting on 37 wins in 8 seasons

when was the extension for the show cause notices granted too?

I suppose if he wants 800k for 7 years GWS are about the only chance of paying that, James frawley is the only player they rate? haha wow they're smug up there in western Sydney haha Nathan Jones imo is a better player than anyone on their list

Mate, even that wouldn't help Neeld

Lets be honest, if frawley leaves and that compo pick results in us landing Jeremy Cameron people will be saying Chip who? and marvelling at how we have without a doubt two of the most exciting key forward prospects in a long time

If he wants dollars and success the suns would be the obvious choice, the only downside would be moving out of Vic

Would be interesting if PJ asked the AFL to investigate a potential breach of free agency rules, not that it would come to much, i'm sure our club is doing the same thing

strange I have heard the opposite, he has interest from several clubs, and extremely keen to get home to Vic

I'm not 100% sure, but I thought clubs weren't allowed to meet with the player personally during the season, just their management? I saw it too and it was obvious he has personally spoken to chip

A lot of slices of the humble pie might well be dished out. plenty of players that take 2-3 years before they start to get going at the top levels and go on to be elite

I suppose the other thing to consider is all reports indicated that Watts had a verbal agreements with Carlton last year.
