[Footskill]

Lobbs found his best position.. defence..why JL never tried him there

I know what you are saying but that’s the kind of trading I like , get some cheapies with the right traits / style of play that could help your team and if not it’s not so bad

Late 1st rounder and 900k for Liam ****ing Baker

Not so much

Oh it's great trading on their end no doubt.

But the player pool available to them is so much greater it's not even funny.

Hawks coming good so quick is the perfect example of why a midseason trade period would be the worst possible thing for Non-Victorian teams.

They've brought in the following (not including late pick swaps)
Meek - O'Meara and received a 2nd round pick
Ginnivan - 2nd round pick
Scrimshaw - 3rd round pick
Chol - 2nd round pick
Amon - Free Agent
Frost - 2nd round pick
Gunston - Brandon Ryan and received a 2nd round pick
D'Ambrosio - 3rd/4th round picks
Impey - 2nd/3rd round picks

And if you believe rumours they'll likely pick up Battle as a free agent +/- Bailey Smith via trade this offseason.

I'd hazard a guess that just about 1-2 of the above players would've even considered a trade to a WA team. And about half of them would've been traded mid season should that have been an option.

They are players that their clubs didn't want or wouldn't give games too.

Frost, Scrimshaw, Impey have been there awhile.
Why the Bombers traded D'Ambrosio says more about the Bombers..
Gunston is on his last legs.

They are a mosquito fleet, they run hard for 4 quarters.

I don't know what any of that has to do with a mid-season trade period. The football department just has to be good and prey on the ones that aren't.

A Geelong loss tonight would be huge for us.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Top 4 spot may be opening up again.

Hope we take it.

Surface at KP is like travelling back to the 1980s.

After spending all that $.

is very slippery

 

[thistimeforsure]

Lol lobster back too his normal hair colour and the short back and sides too show he’s a no nonsense backman

Should have got a neck tattoo and some boot polish under his eyes and really leaned into it

Ugle-Hagan is a selfish player.

Getting all those players without a single first rounder?
Me likey.
Meanwhile Jackson for 3 pick 1s.
Most likely 3 first rounders for Warner.
Baker is a pick 1 with future second.

Ugh. WA clubs are stuffed

 

[Kram]

Rylee West moves just like his old man.

 

[Kram]

Wtf was that Bont.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Jeez the Dogs should be 5-6 goals up here.

 

[FreoRicci]

Pick 6 currently from Schulz trade ?

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Isn't this a Geelong home game??

Cripes the Handbaggers board makes some grim reading just now, stay away little kiddies...

 

[Vimal Anand]

ADE,GWS CARL,RICH NTH - next opponents for Hawks... GWS CARLTON may lose those ones........ and Hawks can end up with 15 wins...

 

[FreoRicci]

Geelong lose, Fremantle go 2 points clear.
Hoping for Sydney to knock off Brisbane

 

[Minz]

Was just thinking it looked like the 80s in Geelong. And how the heck is a nice spiral line out throw a 50m penalty for that distance? That is some bull****

 

[hoss]

Don't think Geelong lose here unfortunately. Bulldogs haven't woken up after a halftime sleep.

Lobb clearly out of position at Fremantle.
He always has been an elite defender. Who knew

 

[Minz]

LOL bont

Conditions look like a state game I played at Glenelg 20 years ago. I’m slow under good conditions… when ankle-deep in mud, “glacial” is more it

 

[FreoGirl]

will be some sore players after this game

 

[hoss]

Naughton FFS.
