Latest news and rumours:

• Tom Barrass officially requests trade to Hawthorn
  • Duffield: Eagles want two first round picks - "It may have to be in this year’s draft rather than a future pick."
  • Morris: Josh Battle is set to join Barrass at Hawthorn in 2025 - Ralph: Unclear if Hawks will pay enough for Band 1

• Kysaiah Pickett interested in a trade
  • "Club and management are confident they can work through his concerns"
  • Daniels: Pickett’s preference is Fremantle. Fremantle are keen, but Bolton the priority. Getting both “not impossible”. West Coast “an option if things get complicated.”

• Jai Culley, Coen Livingstone, Loch Rawlinson in line for one-year deals (The West)
  
  
• Liam Baker and Shai Bolton

I was just remember my mates under 16s team

Unfortunately the AFL needs NSW and QLD to be powerhouses to compete with the NRL. They cant afford to have a drop off clubs like North

They arent droping off like North though are they.

They seem to be getting stronger every year.

 

[mattyc75]

I like it but Warner has a little brother he wants on the list as well .. Any suggestions

Does he tho? A swans supporter suggested he wanted his bro as part of the deal...

True that

So much for Warner coming home! First signs of the salary squeeze being on at the Swans and the AFL swoop in to help…

If the afl did it properly and gave the players 8% on top of what they took home it wouldn't be a problem .

But all they did was gave them 8% extra salary cap space .

Contracts were the same they just had more money to spend

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Who is Luke Baconbean Cal Twomey links us to.
Also Jack hutchinson.
Edit . Jack Hutchinson has been a standout as has Luke Beecken been .

Had to google Beecken, but this really stood out;


94% disposal efficiency.

Few videos on him, got a lovely kick on him and looks to have short and depth covered with it. Looks quick too.

Which they spent on Kurt Tippett.

Doesn't matter even if it's done that way. You just pay your current players 8% less, let the AFL top them back up to what they're on now, and you have an 8% sized hole at the top of your cap to go get a very nice free agent with that no other team can afford to match.

Probably why they've been bleating about extra games in WA - it's a smokescreen to let them bring back in COLA while people are distracted with outrage somewhere else. Next you'll find it'll be all "okay okay, no extra games in WA, we'll just do the COLA, gotta do something to fix this competitive imbalance"

 

[RookiePick]

Hearing Charlie Cameron might have some interest in coming back over to WA, would we be interested? Probably too old for us right? I know Freo have enquired

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Here is an extra Million again . The thing is they get the extra money for a house which is always going to be an asset . Just give everyone cost of living allowance and then they all have equal asset . Our players can then live in Dalkieth

Food stamps to help with costs of living.

Would definitely prefer Beecken over Hutchison if Cal’s mail is right. Has been linked to Hawks and more closely to Crows. Very classy by foot and at least we’re discussing a rebounding defender and if it worked out would be easier list decisions come end of year.

Maybe if the AFL was to pay cola they should stipulate how it is to be spent

 

[DanWCE]

Hammer reckons we might grab Murdoch? to replace Long. Was due to win the Sandover (beating Hammer) until he got injured last year apparently.

Just on the HUN article, it only speaks about assistant coaches and the soft cap. There is nothing in the article itself about bringing back additional salary cap for NSW clubs.

I think you might be right though, because at the same time the article states NSW clubs are against loosening restrictions on NGA bidding.

Best option I think , local player dominating WAFL games plus weakens EF.....IF he signs for eighteen months which is almost certain of any player we take in the MSD .

 

[darksquare]

And this is my worry. Is he Brayshaw-standard? What exactly are the attributes that translate to the next level? So many outstanding WAFL players can't make the jump.

 

[Elite Pete]

Beecken seems a better fit for our need imo. Let’s see how the rejigged recruiting team go.

Even more so if the NGA rules change this off season. One reason why they should’ve been decided by now.

 

[DanWCE]

And this is my worry. Is he Brayshaw-standard? What exactly are the attributes that translate to the next level? So many outstanding WAFL players can't make the jump.

If he's been playing in Longs position at WAFL and almost winning the Sandover that's pretty impressive. I haven't looked into it but it sounds as though he's been in ripper form this season as well.

Is he playing Long’s position though or is he just another small mid we are going to play as a small forward

 

[garlic munchers]

Freo will be waiting for Ruscoe if available, Why not Amiss is showing signs of being sensitive to rough play and Taverna is done ..


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Amiss just looks like he needs to go to bed earlier.....

 

[Elite Pete]

Sheldrick gone for 8-10 weeks with an ankle injury. Makes it unlikely to play afl this year. Right there for the picking and perfect fit for what we need

Its a sign of the times when the comment on a KPD is:

“Jacob is 196cm and although you’d like a couple more centimetres on him, I think he gets a go."

Unless of course we are talking about something else that's holding him back in the locker room.
