Freo breakout star may not warrant St Kilda early draft pick, says Champion Data

Liam Henry's move to St Kilda that left a bitter Fremantle 'disappointed' to surrender the Noongar/Wajuk and Walmadjari talent has come under scrutiny.The request has been coming for more than two mon...

Thanks for posting.

They pretty well say what the consensus seems to be on his likely trade cost, including by many Freo supporters.

"There's a fair bit of discussion around Liam Henry requesting a trade to the footy club and what that's going to do for St Kilda," Hoyne told SEN's Sportsday.

"The only thing I'll say around that is just be wary in terms of what you're giving up."

Hoyne believes a straight swap for St Kilda's provisional pick 31 is fair, but Fremantle would expect to ask for the rival's first-round selection of pick 12.

That comes on the back of Henry previously only averaging 6.7, 9.0 and 9.3 disposals respectively each year.

"I wouldn't be giving up anything high-end for Liam Henry," Hoyne said.

"Based off our model this year, he's the 30th rated wingman in the competition, going just below expectation.

"He's not a horrible footballer by any stretch, but I wouldn't be giving up a top-20 pick for him.

"Close to the 30 mark. I wouldn't be jumping at this just to get him through the door.

"Henry is an okay ball-user, but he's not an absolute pure kick."

North Melbourne free agent Ben McKay has landed on his club of choice for 2024, and it may just be the start of a huge off-season for the Bombers as they look to bolster their list.

Adem Yze named Richmond head coach

AFL 360: The AFL 360 plus panel breaks the news that Adem Yze has been named the new head coach of the Richmond Tigers.

Essendon has won the race for North Melbourne free agent Ben McKay and is pushing hard for Jade Gresham and Todd Goldstein as part of a blockbuster triple play.
In one of the biggest moves in free agency history, the Bombers are in the box seat for St Kilda goal kicker Gresham and are fighting Collingwood for Roo ruckman Goldstein.
It looms as a masterful move from the Bombers who won’t have to give up anything in a trade for McKay, 25, Gresham, 26, and Goldstein, 35, as all three are free agents.
But North Melbourne faces a nervous wait over what compensation the club will receive for McKay’s departure as Essendon offered less money for McKay than Hawthorn, who was also interested.
It remains unclear whether Essendon’s offer is more than $800,000 a year for McKay, which would be required to trigger band one compensation, gifting the Kangaroos pick three as compensation.
The other outcome for North Melbourne is an end-of -first-round compensation pick which would slide back to the early 20s (following academy selections) in the draft order.

North Melbourne could follow GWS Giants’ move (on Jeremy Cameron to Geelong) and match a free agency bid from Essendon to force a better trade deal, but it seems unlikely.
List boss Brady Rawlings said the Roos would consider their next move.
“We understand that free agency is part of football,” Rawlings said.

“Given Ben is a restricted free agent, we have the option to match any contract that’s on offer to him.
“The official start of the free agency period is still a couple of weeks away so we’ve got time to assess our options and make a decision in the best interests of the North Melbourne Football Club.”
The AFL is also weighing up a special assistance package which could hand the Kangaroos another early draft pick and young star draftee Ryley Sanders as part of its next generation academy.
The Hawks came hard late for McKay and are believed to have offered a more lucrative offer in a bid to pip the Bombers and beef-up Sam Mitchell’s back line.
But in a massive coup for the Bombers, list boss Adrian Dodoro landed McKay and remains the frontrunner for Gresham, who could add more potency at ground level in the forward half.
Dodoro is preparing to take former West Coast midfielder Matt Rosa under his wing for next season to help prepare him to take over the list management duties.
Richmond and Carlton are also in the running for Gresham, but the Saint is keen on Essendon.

Goldstein is also weighing up joining forces with Sam Draper in the Essendon ruck department next year but has also attracted interest from Collingwood to help out Darcy Cameron.
The Magpies were caught short in the ruck this year when Darcy Cameron and Mason Cox went down injured, leaving the club to ruck Dan McStay and Billy Frampton this season.
The Magpies are in the premiership window which could be tempting for Goldstein who is still chasing a flag.
But Essendon play two ruckmen and are eyeing Goldstein who was one of the best tap ruckmen in the competition under Brad Scott at Arden St.
Importantly for the Bombers, they want to keep hold of their first round draft pick (eight) and add the mature-age talent after a disappointing end to the season put them out of the finals race.
Scott went down a similar route at North Melbourne adding free agents Shaun Higgins, Nick Dal Santo and Jarrad Waite late in their careers.

But Essendon will secure McKay and Gresham in their prime.
Essendon will lose defender Brendon Zerk-Thatcher to Port Adelaide, but McKay is the strong-bodied key defender the back line has been missing.
Port Adelaide only has a future first-round draft pick to pull off moves for Zerk-Thatcher and Esava Ratugolea from Geelong.

Someone put up Petrenko's message with a like from Rory Sloan. He's still got a soft spot for those guys that would have been his heroes growing up.

Ok, I'll wear that one. Forgot about Gwilty tbh. Can't make out half the people there to be fair, ----REDACTED----

Hey when you're going Sam Newman, might as well go FULL Sam Newman

EDIT: possibly the worst advice I have ever given, or followed is "might as well go full Sam Newman"

Ive already shamed myself, no reason to make it worse for the sake of a joke which upon reflection wasn't funny.
