Future 3rd for 37 would be more in the ballpark. A future second could well end up as pick 24 or so next year in a very strong draft

I agree we need to hang onto our 2021 1st and 2nd picks. Not fussed what we do with the 3rd, 4th and 5th picks. Pick 37 will be around the 41 mark so no way I’d be swapping out a 2nd. Offer the third and see if they bite. They may get a better offer and so be it. The other teams with too many picks are Adelaide and GWS. We could swap a future 4th with either for pick 52 (GWS) or pick 56 (Adelaide).

Kinear Beetson the Swams list Manager said the other day that if he was going to bid on JUH that he would give the WB List Manager a call to let him know first and that he would expect the same. My take was that this courtesy was limited to first rounders though.

Yes that is interesting. However if we got that phone call from Carlton before last year's draft (so we moved up ahead of their pick) - why were we so unprepared with appropriate points to match an early bid? We looked desperate on draft day and negotiated a pretty poor deal with Port Adelaide for extra points (alongside an added deficit).

I really hope JUH is bid on with pick 1 or 2. It's classic that we got an early bid on our best academy pick.

Didn’t see Peter Bell get a courtesy call from SOS and neither did Jason McCartney

RE: Chapman.. Given it has come from 2x sources the last few days, Is this the club playing around, getting it out there that we're into chapman, so perhaps someone else falls?
Doesn't fit needs, unless they think he can play forward like Naughton.

I believe it is more a case that Chapman is expected to fall around the pick we have along with many others. But sure Walls is out at the cafe’s telling everyone we’re going to pick up Chapman to create a smokescreen for who we really want to pick up.

Unless they're targeting someone in particular, i'd prefer they kept as many picks in the first three rounds as possible next year. There might be a few late bloomers that slip through.

Looks like Banfield and Bewley will join Watson on the rookie list. So only 1 true rookie list selection. I wonder where that leaves Leno Thomas? Will we have one or two Cat-B selections.

 

[freo_leo29]

Banfield is a bit of a waste of a spot
Would rather run with 1 less on the list rn

Not so much against him but use that money to give the youngsters an early raise

 

[estibador]

Yeah I don't see the point of keeping Banfield on the list. Not much of a fan of Bewley either but I can understand the case for him a little more.

Schultz would be a bit hard done by to be shunted to the rookie list after the year he had. I wasn't much of a fan before this year but credit where it's due, he had a pretty good season.

 

[freodog]

Don’t tell me we are putting Schultz on a Rookie list? Bewley on a Rookie list isn’t right either.

If we release Schultz someone other team will snap him up

 

[Dockeroo]

With banfield, Schultz and Bewley all staying, how many list spots including rookies are we taking into the draft?

 

[ImperialPurple]

My preference would be Schultz 2 years on the primary list, Bewley moved to rookie list, and Banfield left right out.

This club does my head in. So many others could come in before Banfield if he’s being kept for depth. Whatever the list size is - he’s the last best on it.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Zero. Nada. Zilch. Niente.

That’s what if feels like.

[Joose]

Schulz is a keeper. Played some good footy in 2020. Bewley deserves an extension too.

Should be 1 rookie spot left Watson, Bewley and Banfield with Schultz going to the main list and Mundy signing leaves 4 picks in the national draft.

I think is a bit more complex that it outwardly seems, the Banfield family are big sponsors of the club... this needs to be handled delicately

If spots on our list are up for sale, we got bigger problems. I get what the issue is but if a player is not worthy of a list spot, out he goes. If his family stops contributing, so be it.

We’ll get more donations after winning some finals with as strong a list as possible.

If we go with 4 ND selections as expected.
Schultz - primary list (2 year contract)
Bewley and Banfield to Rookie list - 1 year each
Leno Thomas - 1 year contract

4 ND selections
1 Cat-A rookie selection
1 Cat-B rookie Selection

Fair call. Saw Banfield presenting some Willie Creek Pearls to someone just a week ago all dressed in Freo clothes. Keeping those sponsors (one that happens to be dad) happy during COVID financial times is important.

 

[Tbonefreo]

I like this. Banfield isn't the worst player we have ever had. Read the play and set up shultz for the winning goal against the saints.

 

[Bring back Drum]

I feel sorry for Banfield, when he comes in he plays the least wanted role on the field & a role that is not really natural to him. The problem for him is he is that far down the pecking order for a role as an inside mid & Conca seems preferred for run with roles.

I wouldn’t be surprised if given the chance he would be a very competent ball winner in the mould of Matt Priddis. The thing with him, he would easily go back to WAFL & average 35 touches, but as we’ve seen with others, sometimes your papers are stamped when your delisted as a mid & there are so many young draftees coming into the system each year.

Not sure he is going to make it in the AFL unfortunately.

So we're being black mailed by the Banfield fam.

Nice..

Might come as a surprise but Banfield is younger than Schultz and Tobe Watson

Unless they have thoughts of Banfield going back into the midfield, I can see no point in keeping him
Any suggestion that we should keep him because of his families financial support is total codswallop.

Banfield’s skills just aren’t up to it.
He had chances this year and sold the pooch on them.
Shultz earn’t an extension, so did Bewley although he’ll be rookied.

Thomas will either be kept as Cat b or put on rookie list so we can take two cat b.
