DEES NEED TO KEEP FIRST ROUND PICK (probably around pick 5 or 6 now) AND GET ONE OF EITHER XAVIER LINDSAY⭐️ HARVEY LANGFORD ⭐️ SAM LALOR ⭐️

Kate?

Should have got his hand sorted out earlier another wtf moment it’s all under control at MFC 🤬

We need Goody to stay. Someone has to stay !!!

Cals top 30 updated Harvey Langford at 3 ⭐️ Sam Lalor at 9 👏👏👏 Xavier Lindsay at 16 bargain Christian Moraes at 25 bargain Tom Gross at 26 bargain https://www.afl.com.au/news/1195410

@seventyfour great ideas. Need something to rev up the last game. It’s not a finals type atmosphere that we’d all hoped for. Expect 50,000 crowd given both teams probably out of finals contention

Love the NIBBLER ❤️💙🏆 but we have to move on Too early ?? option 1 ANB to Crows Crows 2nd round to Gold Coast Jack Lukosius to Dees option 2 ANB to Crows Crows 2nd round to dees option 3 deal with Port … part of a Houston move ?

Agreed. Brodie would be a good addition. Freo preseason preview Brodie only played five games in the senior side in 2023, missing parts of the season due to an ankle injury. The midfielder has put together a strong pre-season, consistently matching up against other bonafide midfielders and will look to slot himself back into the starting 22 in 2024.

We took Hunter. 🤮 Macrae is the next similar type. we shouldn’t do Dogs a favour !!! Game is faster now and he’s lost the edge. I’d pass. There is quality kids in the draft to get !!!

Updated Retire: Brayshaw (medical) B.Brown, Melksham, McDonald, Hunter Delist: Schache, JS29, Tomlinson, Sestan, Farris-White Trade: ANB 💔 (crows 2nd round pick) *upgrade : Moniz-Wakefield ** thats 10 list spots available ** rookies: Hore, Kentfield, KBrown, Verrall Stuck with existing poor list management …Contracted until end 25: Spargo. Billings. Contracted until end 26: Laurie, McAdam. None were deserving of such deals. (Tim Lamb 🤯) ————————————————— Aim to bring in 1. Free agent priority : Isaac Cumming - skilled half back 2. Find a mature plan B ruckman to support Gawn 3. Trade in tall key defender (cover loss of Tmcd or Tomlinson) 4. get mature midfielder - Will Brodie from Freo (would cost future 5th rounder!!) adds immediately to our midfield National Draft. Let JT weave his magic. (5 picks likely) 1st round - either Xavier Lindsay🌟/Harvey Langford🌟/Sam Lalor🌟 early 2nd round (circa pick 25 - Crows pick) Cooper Hynes/Jobe Shanahan/ Taj Hotton/Christian Moraes Late 2nd round: (circa pick 40 - Swans pick) some potential names who might be available: Kade Gerryn , Hamish Davis , Lachie Jacques, Zak Johnson, Kade Herbert. Youngsters who could be bargains at a 3rd/4th round pick 50 ish : Jack Ough, Patrick Retschko, Cody Anderson , Oliver Depaoli-Kubank, Zane Cochrane, Bailey McKenzie, Jaxon Artemis, Keighton Matofai-Forbes. ———————————————- Add as a Rookie: father son Noah Yze Add Cat B rookie: Ricky Mentha

Family first. We understand. It’s sad to see him go. He’s been a permanent member of the team for so long. 175 games. 10 years. Premiership🏆. Nibbler was excellent on and off field. Spoke to him at several functions and he’s genuinely a really nice guy. Must have taken a lot of courage to make this call. We wish him and the family all the very best. Thanks Nibbler 🏆💙❤️

Really sad to see the Nibbler go Quality player Quality guy probably having his best year elite stats 175 games so far 10 years. Just qualifying for life member 2021 premiership 🏆

Now back to the serious stuff Kid absolutely smashing it in the under 18s Jack Ough from Rebels , a country lad now at Ballarat - boards at St.Patrick’s college which is a traditional breeding ground for AFL footballers 194cms tall mid / Good pace and inside game as well / not quite Bont but similar size only turns 18 in December got invite to Nationals combine so clubs are seriously interested Really jumping up recruiting lists this draft is a good one imv

Surely it’s Will Brodie for a future 5th round pick. Freo owe us a favour !!!

I get amazed by the hawks players physically showing the too high or dropping the ball signs and somehow they seem to convince the umpire. Maybe it’s the suggestive behaviour theory. Less verbal. More directive movements.

@dazzledavey36 agree with Finn Callaghan. He’s a star. Wait and then throw the whole piggy back at him !! Ps. Make sure we don’t mention anything about Casey training facilities.

Gary Pert. Thank you 👏👏

Lever and Hore followed the team rules. If you 60-70 metres out from goal. Kick it sideways or preferably backwards to a more dangerous situation and create a turnover. Dont lower your eyes and hit a target.

@D4Life let’s get a beer or a coffee. Great points. Its along with my thinking. We are not a basket case. Just need some smart decisions

Will Brodie. 👏👏👏Definitely Yes. He fits in immediately. He is good at contested footy. Skills. Behind too many at Freo. Dominates the WAFL. Would cost a packet of chips aka 4th rounder. Moneyball pick.

I think the question is WHERE IS KATE ROFFEY. We need to hear from her. Dees supporters are hurting. Really need some voice to calm and restore sense of control. There is still blue sky. We need to hear it. No BS though. At the moment, it feels like we are in free fall.

Good news. He’s soft.

Goodwin “ there’s learnings” ”we will pivot to find a solution “ “I will try to improve our connection “ rinse and repeat his verbal diarrhea 2022, 2023 and 2024 “Regardless of where you sit in a season, regardless of who you're playing, you've got to play a certain way and be a certain team, and that's a part of building a culture that is high performing," High performing??? We had high performing. Where did that go. What are we admitting it’s all gone to shiff and we are rebuilding ? I’m sick of this BS from Goodwin
