Watching the reserves on Saturday night the crunch of bodies is audible when a small crowd allows the noise to reverberate. I wouldn’t be expecting too much in Walters first season
However, I’m happy to be proved wrong

I don’t blame him for wanting to play senior footy, and that’s looking even less likely in the next season unless Sarah’s injuries.
He proved to be significantly better than advertised when we gave him a shot to play as a full-time forward, and as such, we should get at least get a late 2nd for him IMO
What am I missing here?.......is "Sarah" a nick name for someone?
Would losing Chol and bringing in jade Gresham be a win.
Free agent.
Would most likely be best 22 in a forward pocket

Personally I’d rather see us take a shot at Dougal Howard, every side is looking for KPD depth and I feel like Howard could fill the void alongside Ballard, Collins and Andrew while Ethan Reid develops into the player we know he will be over the next 2-3 years.

Gresham would be the worst kick on our team. And that's with how bad we are by foot already.
No thank you.
Love his defensive efforts. He’s already better defensively than all of our current KPFs.

I’m probably an outlier here but I still believe we should trade up for Pick 1 and take Reid and give West coast Pick 4, next years first and Jeremy Sharp. Would like to see us finally get creative with our pick swaps for once. Reid would be the finishing touch to our already strong midfield with Miller, Rowell and Anderson.

Adding essentially 4 top 10 picks on top of Miller, Humphrey, Flanders, Andrew, Rowell, Luko, Anderson, King, Ainsworth, Davies, Jeffrey. Add Ballard, Powell who will have to be paid too. Did I forget someone? That would be basically 18 players line-up made from from top talent.
2 more R1 academy players possibly in 2024 and it looks like min the same in 2025.
Probably some sorting needed in 2-3 years due to cap pressure and lack of opportunity. I guess like we do now with Sharp, Hollands, Chol.
OK, let’s do it plus add 1-2 mature graders to make it even more exciting

Can see your point, but getting Reid plus 3 top 10 academy kids would probably ensure the academy rules getting changed.
Is Reid really a priority with Humphrey and Flanders also needing midfield time? Plus Rogers, and Lombard the year after.
Reid would be a nice addition, but he shouldn't be priority number 1.

I know what you mean…
Having a great pick in pick 4 and just trading it for picks picks like 15 24 and 34 just to lose/use them to pick up our own academy player and gain a couple points.
Much rather turn it into someone mature or try jump ahead of Jed and bring in a big need in a forward pocket.

We should be trying to get to pick 2 to pick up Watson and get some spark in our forward line.

Questions about live trading:
If no suitable offers come for a pick 4, and we don’t choose to move up the draft, can we not just take it to the draft? Say a bid does come (likely at pick 2-3), can we can trade it out to the highest bidder, which we could have arranged before hand, for future picks right then? That way, if somehow Walter slides, we win.
Hell, can we trade out and trade back in immediately after (probably at a small loss in some way) with another club with an under the table agreement by swapping picks around?
If so, we might slide from 4 to 5-7, for example, on the night, by moving out and back in. But we get 3 academy players and a top pick (ideally best ball user/goalkicker available) without flushing a first round pick.
Is there a reason clubs don’t do this? Is it too risky? Or are there rules to stop this?

I understand the chat about trying our best to turn 4 into Reid - but a list can only sustain so many top-dollar guys in reality.
If we skipped Rogers for Reid, then sure but we're still going to struggle to pay everyone. The salaray cap is ultimately the great leveller and prevents this kind of talent stacking.
I also think it's going to be impossible to beat North to Reid. They have SO much top end draft capital and they haven't even got any further assistance or the McKay compensation.
The reality is that we need to be turning 4 into more points this year and more picks next year. Walter, Read and Rogers (maybe Graham?) is an absolutely ridiculous draft haul already of course.
That said, the prospect of Reid in our forward line alongside Walter is unbelievably tantalising - I wish it were more achievable

You're like a politician trying to sneak some shitty shady legislation onto a standard supply bill
"Davies,Jeffrey"
While I see their upside I don't think they're breaking the salary cap bank

You get the best talent in and cut the lesser talent as time goes.
Eventually people want out for lack of games.

I’m sick of moving picks around year on year. Kicking the can down the line.
I want to win in 2024
They will make it like Flanders did this year or will they be sorted out?Ha ha

How much will we pay Flanders now? 600K? More? Flanders was supposedly our best midfielder after bye. When season started people here wanted to let him go. Both have talent to make it, were pre-selected, would be probably R1 picks, year 4 now, let’s say 300-350K? In 2 years?
