Reckon its an upgrade on The Gresh, he had his worst , injury free season with us

A few posters were heavily invested in how well we'd done and can't let go...and others are just sycophantic yes men. The club could swap Max King for Jarred Polec and they'd cheer it on as a genius move.

This football department is the best we've had for years and the club has invested in quality staff. SOS and Gubby look like the weakest links still but so far so good.

They haven't had a huge trade period that looks like anything to get super excited about but they have worked a sensible conservative set of deals that have keep the cap low and haven't chased a feel good story at the expense of the future. Honestly I'll take that as a positive any year.

We've done a heap of stupid things in the past and are starting to move it all back on to the rails. I could potentially learn to respect the list managers if they keep operating like they are. Not something I've been able to do for years.

I've been pretty dubious on SOS, so was trying to acknowledge some good work.

Henry and Dow, both young and plenty of potential, so if we don't have to spend much draft capital to land them, that's solid recruiting. If one becomes a decent regular player then we're laughing, if neither work out we haven't lost too much.

That's the look of a man that knows he made a terrible mistake.

That's why Mannagh would be a good in, for The Gresh. Cheap & experienced playing against AFL listed players.

He’d be a very handy pick up!

 

[George]

Well he did come out of the shallow end of the gene pool

Good one Biff

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

SOS should be talking to him already & preparing him to be taken by us in the PSD.

It is, isn’t it?!

[Klaatu]

reckon its overs on Henry but i reckon if we push our ladder position might be close to fair value

How much would you have paid?

Gresh in Bombers colours is stomach turning.

Our colours make everyone look better. It's a flattering kit. Gresham looks like a cartoon villain in the Bombers set up.

 

[George]

So glad we got rid of Gresham, feels like a huge weight of shit pie floaters lifted off our shoulders

If we can package up Billings and Howard in the last two days I reckon I'll go upgrade my membership this week

 

[EconomicDecline]

Did the Shiel thread get nuked from the Draft forum?

Can’t trade out Dougal without a replacement coming in

Trading out Doug would be very dumb.

Yeah, the midfield needed bolstering and we have swapped Gresham for a younger similar type on a lower wage for slightly less capital. So far so good.

Coffield so far looks like the one that could bite us the most. If he comes on and we gave him away for a packet of chips we'll probably have a melt. That said if we are competitive ourselves you don't tend to cry every time you look over your shoulder. Realistically we have to make calls on players faster and having years of injured cloggers isn't good management either.

Coffield has not played in the last 2 years, if he plays great at the dogs then it is what it is.

He needs a fresh start to reach that level though imo.

Somehow, you take away the white from the saints jumper and his eyebrows go from incredible to absolutely ****ing cooked.

SOS pulls down Bells panties after all his huffing and puffing.

Called Dodoros bluff

Few cranky people on the Freo board

I'm going to check it out. I need a laugh

Guess he hadn’t moved in with Hilly yet.

Not that shy on social media.

Unfortunately Coff wanted a fresh start and tbh l think they were right to hardball him. Losing 2 consecutive years of prime development will absolutely lower his ceiling, and if they can can swap him for Dow then it's a win.

Coffield could come good at the Dogs but I think he will always be a bit too slow (or maybe not agile enough) to play on the smalls and a bit too short to play on the talls. But in the right backline he could find a slot that works as an intercepting attacking back. At St Kilda he was surplus and likely to play VFL again next year can’t play him with Wilkie and Battle and I can’t see him replacing either one. Best for him to leave. We have had a habit of hanging on to our players too long - Billing’s should have left years ago now we are going to have to pay him to leave.

I actually am much keener to hang on to DMac can’t believe his body is shot already he actually makes a difference when he plays just up until this year he kept smashing himself in reckless contests. His 12 month calf injury might be the end but that would be a real loss. Feel like Ross would just love how he plays if he could get on the park. Let the German witch doctor do his thing and cross our fingers he comes good.

Look on his face when they told him what's coming next...

Looking forward to the next two days, Damo on Friday said that we were working on something absolutely massive, and he's usually bang on!
