I just want to avoid another vickery disaster. I fear that Rata may be this.

McKay I'm fine with.
There is risk with any trade or draft pick . Vickory and dare I mention it the 'JOM' trade are well in the rear vision mirror now.

I can see the reasoning from a team and flexibility perspective with Rata . I know that others wont .

How was Vickery a disaster? Free agent to fill a hole, didn’t work, he left.

As far as bad decisions go, I don’t see why that one would cause any particular grief 🤷🏼‍♂️

Plus he was the link in the chain that got Rough the winning goal against the swans to sneak us into the top 4. Worth it!
 
What was mentioned on SEN today was way off , not even close to the mark
If it's more than a Summer internship for a free t-shirt + fuel money then we're getting absolutely hosed...
 
Less than what North are paying Logue
Less than what Dons are paying Kelly
Less than what North are paying Corr
Less than what Saints are paying Howard
Exactly right BH23.

Before anyone else dies of pearl clutching its worth reminding yourselves that salary caps have gone up a bit since buddy left, and projected to go up a lot more once the new CBA gets home
 
Get the feeling Baileys manager is playing this perfectly, saying his all in on staying and behind the scenes would be telling them he walks next year if you don’t t sort it out.

He may have to wear a year of pain though because the dogs seem to be running at full pace off the cliff

It's Dunkley all over. They've been here before.
 
Over on the Fremantle board their suggesting we will have to part with pick 29 for Henry.
Seems overs to me and I would expect something coming back our way if that was the price we pay.

We need another big defender. We have a youngster who should develop into a rock solid, stay at home brick wall. We have Sis who is obviously one of the elite defenders in the league, but doesn't lock down and play close, is undersized and can't play on gorillas, and plays better when freed up to patrol the backline and tack intercepts at will anyway. We need a big-bodied, mobile defender who can play on Porkins, Walker, Wright etc.

McKay and Sav are what's on the table. Unfortunately Moore and Stewart aren't up for grabs this year. We have to run with what's there. I hope we snare one of them.
 
The draft board feels like Dodoros brain, genuinely perplexing business their, and we wonder what happened to common sense..
 
Can we land a second round pick for dgb? Then we'd have two 2nd round picks, one for Henry one for McCabe.
Pick 4
Henry
McCabe
McKay FA
Gresham FA

Still have future pick in our hands which we can
A ) keep for a Smith next year
B ) trade it out to get another pick in the 6-9 range this year.
Our hand is actually quite strong.
 
Looking at it purely with improvement to spots on the list.

McKay replaces Frost.
Henry replaces Morrison.
Ratugolea replaces Kosi.
Gresham replaces Brockman.

McKay’s primary role would be releasing Sic Dog
Esava’s primary role would be bringing it to ground everytime for our ground fleet
I can get on board with this

McKay replaces Frost………. Neither are in my future GF team. Don’t spend the coin to import!
Henry replaces Morrison…. Undecided. I need more info… does Henry butcher the ball? This is my question.
Ratugolea replaces Kosi…… Not on current form. I was 100% in the Esava camp until I saw how slow he is. And then Kosi started pack marking. 🤗 Did he find grippo? Whatever, who cares… A Kosi pack marking is a Kosi retained.
Gresham replaces Brockman… Brockman is a huge loss. IQ like his is not often seen. Gresham will cost a lot… but could be very good. Highly unsure. We have 2 very good developing smalls in JOS and Bennetts that do what Gresham does.


I say to keep our money powder dry! If there is a marking Fwd that wants to come to us at the right price then great, otherwise, the Hawks are doing just fine in our teams development.


To put this another way, just because we can does not mean we should. Wait until the right player is there who we want and the player wants us… Otherwise it will be an unhappy marriage.
