[kool kangas]

but for how long?

 

[King Corey]

Full Thursfield interview was fine. Didn't think he was that cagey.

 

[kool kangas]

North want curtin!!

Curtin will fall to 7 where WC will trade up and take him!!


It’s a proxy war. Trade still might be on.

Whose future F1st is worth more?

Whose future F1st is worth more?

West Coast's. By far.

 

[Passmore]

Classic role player who gets the most out of himself and makes the side better by making the system work.

And organises the piss up when required.

because they're more of a chance to finish towards the bottom this year?

 

[Kanga Glory]

Channel 7 news saying last ditch effort by Clarko going to see draft bolter? Wonder who

Clarko by going to WA for a wedding , will catch up with curtain . I hope he also catches up will Collard

 

[ToxicMegaPunts]

Crows must think we are a good chance to take him with one of our later first rounders. If Swans take Green with their first pick it might leave us with only Edwards as a ruck option. Wonder if we have had any links to him leading up to the draft?

 

[kool kangas]

Ah yes I’m sure the tv guide says what time pick 1 is on the clock….

For the record coverage starts at 7pm

Can trades be done earlier than 7pm or does it have to wait until 7pm..

Happy if it lands this way … after Read , Edwards looks the standout ruck in my eyes .

Did feel like McKercher/Duursma is the smart money, based on what he said.

If it's anything different on draft night, then credit to Thursfield for being elusive.

Just earned yourself a Chad and Nostra sandwich.

What son?

What Sun?

What's on?

It is particularly funny to see the mental gymnastics from Weagles fans following this F1 for Curtin rumour.

A lot were more than keen to sink the boots in to him following the colts GF, in a weird vitriolic response to suggestions they were keen on him being a part of any trade for pick 1.

Now all of a sudden it's "brave" recruiting, targeting a player they rate super high. F***in lol.

I think they have forgotten why they have pick 1.

"We are just gonna pick talent" - Thursfield when asked on 2, 3, vs 15, 17 & 18

Followed by 'We've got a few list needs. By picking talent we are going to address some of those'

Translation. I'm not telling you nothing.

Yup.

For MONTHS they posted over and over again saying how they don't want or need Curtin, and that's why they didn't want to trade pick 1.

I for one will laugh my ass off if they trade their F1 for Curtin

Yeah it's really weird IMO, that trade makes sense for a team like the Hawks or GC, who could feasibly rise next year. It would be a massive shock if WC were outside of the bottom 2 in 2024.

Clarko always refers to players needing to be good enough to be part of the next premiership side. Jackson might work hard, but I don't believe he has even close to the quality required to be in a premiership side. The year we took him in the draft we should have taken him as a rookie at best. None of the other 17 clubs would have given him even a millisecond of thought and we wouldn't have either if he wasn't the son of the Shinboner of the century. He has a big heart, but has only managed 8 games in two years in practically the worst backline in AFL history. He is below average in all stats. Unfortunately I really don't see a future for him with us.

Jacko might not be part of the next flag side, but part of the squad that year, and a key cog in the team that gets us there.

I can see him playing 100 games

I reckon Thursfield was really good and spoke impressively. As expected he wasnt giving much away but its obvious we have decided on picks 2 and 3 already and I think any Curtin talk might be just a last gasp effort to keep West Coast guessing what we are going to do .They clearly want both Reid and Curtin.

Did someone really say that sheezel will leave if we draft dursma?

 

[speedy]

I thought it was ok too. Probably is pretty new to doing media.
The main thing I got out of it was it seems like they will go best available with all our 1st rounders.

He mentioned run and forward pressure are needs also along with key positions. Implying that we have so many needs picking best available will still fill needs.

Also, it seems like they are not happy with our forward mix and lack of forward pressure. Perhaps Collard is the key target there? Makes you wonder what are we going to do with all these medium forwards?

 

[Phillyroo]

Amen to that, apollo_creed

I watched WA a fair bit at the National Champs. Curtin's super athletic. He's also impressed playing forward at Colts level. You won't be disappointed if you draft him once you watch him play.w

I have seen him play, live once against Vic Metro, and full games multiple times on line.
Yep he is good, no doubt. But the Chad posting about him and then denying it is just too much.

 

[Sillygit]

Did someone really say that sheezel will leave if we draft dursma?

Lol, oh yea? And what possible reason for this would there be?

 

[chubbspeterson]

Nah apparently LDU may be traded if we draft Kerch according to DuckYeah. Madness. As if they couldn't co-exist.

Its amazing what upsets some people.
