Bolton doesn't help our defensive pressure I50. If Bolton is the main attacking weapon then others like Freddy and Sturt need to step up.

He is a bland player with AFL level fitness.

There is a lot of smoke regarding Dan Curtin. Another benefit of targeting Pickett and not Warner is more cap space for players like Curtin to join the ranks. Not quite as bullish on him as others so I'm happy to wait another year to monitor his progression. Idk if a trade can happen before his...

Force Richmond to take him with an early pick.

Idk how I missed that 😂

Didn't read the T&Cs :p

I think I predicted 8th-10th in the presason because I wasnt convinced of our forwardline or list age/experience. I also got my prediction right the previous year when we finished 14th. If it's any consolation my prediction for next season is 2nd-5th. Main concern is we need Jackson and Fyfe's...

JLo needs to implement a more chaotic and less controlled style now with the addition of Bolton. If you look at his highlights he is most lethal when the ball is being moved with pace.

He is also brilliant at ground level for his size, great defensively and has a big tank so can run all day. People saying that he has no elite traits haven't been watching closely. I actually think he would be a better defensive mid then Erasmus because he has a lot more weapons.

He was not going to be delisted. It did sound like they wanted him to explore his options which baffles me. I can see the talent he has just like I could with Sturt. People need to be patient.

I didn't, KPFs were too young and no small forwards. Lots of positives though with the emergence of Young and Draper. Just need Amiss, Jackson and Johnson are the key players that need to improve next year.

We aren't missing the top 8 with our list people. The issue is determining if our 'success' was because of the list or coaching. I guess that will depend on how deep we go into finals.

Depending on how his preseason goes, I don't see Walters as b23 anymore.

People actually believe Simpson will be playing but not JOM, delusional.

I think Wallzy knows that, otherwise we would have had Bolton's salary covered.

Our board isn't any different.

Bro that is very foolish. He has to choose between playing for a contender that is not guaranteed to win a GF or an extra $2m for a team will play finals eventually. Put yourself in his shoes, that is a lot of money to turn down just so he can play with friends. Humans are inherently greedy.

Is there any chance we can get both Koz and Warner next year? If so surely we trade the 14 into next year.

You should dread Melbourne. Kept Olvier to his contract and refused to trade Pickett. Koz is contracted next year and if he wants to leave...

While that is true, the real gold will be found outside the first round. Wallzy and Woodland will have their eye on some gems. Unless a player slides, I would trade pick 14 for overs and see what they can do. None of the players within range of our pick do anything for me. See how we go!

One of the small forwards will be available but I don't think either project to be elite. Might as well see how Kozzie goes next year.

Pick 14 is an awkward position to be in on draft night as we are at the back end of the first round. I am NGL the choices are a bit underwhelming as they don't address list needs. We need another small forward but I have doubts Berry would shift the needle enough and we can definitely can afford...

Would you accept I highly doubt :p

I guarantee you Simpson won't be playing R1. Also at a minimum one of JOM/Fyfe/Walters will be in the team.

"Top WA talent" 😂

Weren't there rumours of him telling WC he wants to be playing finals otherwise he's out? Idk if true or not. Could be using that excuse as a scape goat. You are right though, Richmond could offer him $2m a year.

Nah Wallzy wanted to be at the start of the que for the buffet.

Can we start the draft and trade thread now or are we keeping this one open?

Now that I think about it, one of our picks wasn't even ours it was Collingwood's pick which makes it a bit better. I really wanted Travaglia or Lindsay 😪
