Lol seriously can we just have a ban on posting things ol clickbait Kornes says…

none of it is interesting and it’s all designed to just stir people up.

Hodgey wants a new rule! Hodgey gets a new rule.

No more clickbait shit from Cornes in here.


Also:
Can we also threadban Rendell quotes. The bloke is senile.
Done ✔️
 
So what’s the latest view?

Potential Outs:
Howe to swans for a future 2nd
Cegs for a pick in the 30s
Possibly FA combo for TOB? Possibly pick 45 if get 3rd round compo
+1-2 senior players? TBD. But hopefully a first for each.

That’s potentially quite a stack of picks.

Potential ins:
Max Lynch - what would he cost - our pick 59?

Feels like we are trying to look at some salary dumps.
We won’t be trading anyone to get a first round pick.
 
I rate Ladhams as a player, surprised some in here don’t.

I can’t comment on his off field stuff outside of knowing he has a bit of a rep.

All I’ll say is he makes us a better team and is the exact type of ruck I would like to partner Reeves going forward. Plus we need some more tough guys. I’m interested at the right price

Will Day, DGB, Scrimshaw (best Birchall clone in the league, fight me) are all potential All Australian backmen. CJ is also a gun, but more AA40 than AA.

If everything goes his way, Jeka could be a shout for a Coleman at some point. Needs better delivery and to get better at dealing with AFL defensive setups but his Box Hill form was entrancing. One or two big steps away from a break-out season.

I don't think any of our young mids (pretty much just Worpel) are anything to bet the farm on. Still haven't seen Seamus Mitchell or Connor Downie properly, but I'm not convinced they are as impactful as Newk and Bramble are.

Jeks has enormous talent but like most good young players he needs to improve his 2nd and third efforts and competitiveness when the ball hits the deck. Agree he could be anything if he can do it. U gotta love both sides of the body!! Surely Sammy will!

His off-field stuff concerns me but I also feel port will ask for more than I’d like to pay. I feel our list has more pressing needs that we shouldn’t spend a top 30 pick on a solid forward-ruck. And I’d expect port to be after a late first rounder.

Not worth even asking the question.

Is he out of contract?
 
One thing I noticed about Cegs, Howe and TOB last season. They always seemed to be the ones getting into good receiving positions

or is it because opponents didn’t pay much attention to them?

Another take is hawks were trying to up their resale value ;)

the report is he’s seeking to mainly ruck with less forward time. Surely we want reeves for that and add a suitable player who’s a forward ruck?

Freo want Jordan Clark from the Cats and have picks 8 and 27. They have offered pick 27, which was knocked back, and preposed that if they get pick 25 from Carlton in the Cerra deal, that the Cats could have that. But Geelong say Freo would need a lower pick than 25.
The Hawks could pick swap 21 (878pts) and 24 (785pts) for a total of 1663pts for Freo’s pick 8 (1551pts) + a future 4th rounder.

The cats can then have pick 21 for Clark... which should get it done… Freo get their outside run and the Hawks turn picks 21 and 24 into pick 8.

I highly doubt freo will trade pick 8. I read today the cats are chasing pick 8 for him 😂

In no world do Freo take 21+24 for 8. Points be damned, that is insane. We would need to send a player, someone of quality, in order to even come close to making that work. That being said. Gunner/Breust + Picks for 8 would be an offer I would entertain.

A club (recruiter) that believes there is not a great difference in talent between players 8 through 25 for instance would entertain such a trade with us. 2 for the price of 1 so to speak. There was talk that the bombers would consider trading pick 11 for 2 later picks such as our 21 and 24.
 
Agreed

I liked the hypothetical as the puzzle pieces fit together nicely, but in reality the opportunity for Freo to draft either Erasmus or Amiss at pick 8(10) would be too strong.
They will get 6 of the Blues and could use 21 and 24 on homegrown kids like Van Rooyen and Johnston.

Good point, if Freo thinks those players will be available in the 20s then:
- Freo loses Cerra and pick 8…
- and gains pick 6 (Erasmus / Amiss), pick 21 (Jordan Clark), pick 24 (Johnston or Van Rooyen), maybe pick 25 (again Johnston or Van Rooyen) and still has pick 27 (Bazzo).


or, if Freo think Johnston or Van Rooyen will go earlier, they could package up a couple of picks in the 20s for the Dog’s pick 17 + a future 2nd rounder.

and the Hawks get pick 8 (10). Though looking at the above, I’m not sure we would want it at the price. Picks 21 and 24 are looking pretty valuable. 🤣

When you put the ingredients ‘club in a premiership window our ‘value’ players will want to move to’ and ‘early picks coming the other way” the number of candidate clubs shrinks sharply

so unless it’s the tigers pick 7, it would need three way or some horse trading
 
Anyone else get the feeling we are about to see two senior players depart?
Yes. Hopefully. We need more picks. JOM is the one I would trade. Maybe Gunners to Brissie if they have up pick 18.

id prefer to keep 21 & 24 and take a Combo of Butler and Bazzo/JVR
