Anyone ever seen Aleer ruck? Could that be something he brings into his game to force his way in?

Looking at the west coast fan reaction to the baker deal I imagine a lot of fan bases would be reluctant to trade picks out of or even down in this draft as the media hype about how good it is has been significant. I’m prepping myself for an uneventful lead up to draft night

I really agree with that last point. We played best this year when we halved or won contested stats. Tom G has a lot of heavy lifting in there and we missed cogs at his best for most of the year I can really only see the improvement coming from youth (rowston and leake) rather than any...

With reports of Leek turning down 800k to stay for his final year, it looms as a make or break seasons for him. I think he will definitely get game time and that will determine if he stays or goes. I imagine there is no way we are matching that type of bid for him to stay. Although he has...

There is real opportunity for rowston and leake to make an early impact and cement a spot. I think the question mark is the wing position but there will be plenty of competition for spots over the summer.

Why you holding on Oliver despite him wanting to go to Geelong? Thing is, he chose them. Not the other way 🤷‍♂️

I rate Ben Paton Great thinking as a lockdown small defender

Lions said this morning that Dev had said he wants to explore his options. Mentioned there was some interest in WA but they were waiting for other deals Seems he is gettable if we want him. Maybe we see him as too much like rowston at this stage of his career?

I would be disappointed to lose stone I would hate to see I’m in a red sash

No way the breakeven is 3/4 full I don’t know what the engie deal is but when we were with spotless it was 6k

Look you could always just tank in 2025 to make sure you got him when we gets walked

He is still quite young There is no need to trade him

I suppose the counter argument to this is we have been in finals contention regularly for a while now. So it is not like the club is struggling so there is no need to take action

GWS doing GWS things….. Flagging we will combine picks to move up the draft order

I think a few of the comments regarding crowds are spot on We can’t fill the stadium and it’s a core issue in retaining players who want atmosphere We feel like a country footy ground some weeks

Fiorini is a turnover king No point winning it if you just give it back

It is relative though If you could save on the cost of living it’s as good as a pay rise It is definitely a factor. Add in that Adelaide, melb Perth also offer more revenue streams such as sponsorships or paid advertising than the Sydney market and the overall loss adds up

I would be upset if we didn’t invite them It stinks

I wouldn’t begrudge colleagues looking if other companies were offering more money That’s life

So hard to believe every single article links 5 or so players leaving with absolutely no rumors of anyone coming in Crazy

I’m pessimistic we get both locked away Which is unusual for me as I’m often an optimist. Both will have big clubs coming with good sized $$$$ But god I hope so

What about mature age options? Dom Brew looks like he will be/should be on an afl list next year. Could have immediate impact in the system which is appealing. Similar strengths to TG which is possibly an issue

I have no doubts about the emerging talent and the great potential growth in it. I like leake in particular But it’s those mid 20’s players in the peak of their careers that are the most consistent and that’s what we are floundering trying to discuss Draft is deep apparently, maybe we just...

Can you think of any?

Look I’ll admit Daniels coming seems a real unlikely scenario. But we played such a young team this year. I was at that hawks game in tassie where we were younger than the hawks team who seemed like babies on the field …. We are losing mid 20’s talent and I worry about our consistency in 25 if...

Definitely a wing. I think it is our weakest position when Kelly/ Finn are playing inside Ward was good this year but who knows how that translates to next year The o th er option I suppose is to look at state leagues and get a mature age player in. I see how mannagh had such a positive impact...

Looking at the league there are stuff all players we can bring in to replace best 22 players in their mid 20’s Caleb Daniels?

It has been reported he is being offered 4 years at 600k. I expect that is far more both in years and $$ than we are offering.

Match up wise we probably have: Pez on papley Idun on Hayward Slammer on amarty/Mcdonald? Bucks on the other HH on McLean I think I have the smaller match ups right but not really sure on the talls

Grounds for divorce there unfortunately From her of course 😜
