We also haven't really seen how Petty performs for extended periods without May. Taking the second tall/resting ruck is a fair bit different to matching up with the big guns week in and week out.The KPD thing depends a lot on if Petty is willing to commit to us long term.
So 2 blokes alot to retire, a 3rd tall, a bloke who's gonna leave and then 2 forwards and a bloke who's not even a good VFL player yet for the most important part of the ground. Teams would be so jealousMay, McDonald, Lever, Tomlinson, Petty, Turner, Adams... reckon we've got plenty of KPD options.

That's not a strawman that's just a reply to your statement. Petty and Turner are playing forward, including them in our defensive stocks makes no sense.Nice strawman as usual haha.
I didn't say teams would be jealous or that our KPD stocks are amazing. Just making the point that that group is less a priority to sure-up than our group of KPFs which is: JVR, Jeffo and ... ?

When May first started and was sidelined for ages, didn't Petty play his role and thrive?We also haven't really seen how Petty performs for extended periods without May. Taking the second tall/resting ruck is a fair bit different to matching up with the big guns week in and week out.
Petty didn't really thrive until Tomlinson went down in 2021. Remember a lot of us being worried that the Tommo injury was the end of our flag chances.When May first started and was sidelined for ages, didn't Petty play his role and thrive?

Also Fristch just can't be ignored conveniently to make your point
Nope it was a dig at Max Gawns dumb 'teams would be jealous of us line'Yeah it is. I didn't at any stage say our KPD stocks are great or the envy of any teams, I just said I don't think the KPD stocks aren't as high a priority as our KPF stocks
I consider Fritsch a medium forward hence leaving him out of conversation.

Excellent pointsBut at least we have JVR though. And some competent mid-sized forwards. TMac and May will be gone by the end of next year, and every chance Tomlinson and Petty will be too.
Cupboard is pretty bare. You don't win flags with a rubbish backline, whereas a few teams with very suspect forwards line can jag them (see us in 2021 and Collingwood last year for very recent examples).
"Teams wish they were us" I believe was the line.Nope it was a dig at Max Gawns dumb 'teams would be jealous of us line'
It doesn't matter what you consider him as, he plays as a key forward, he plays deep and doesn't pressure, with JVR that's 2 key stocks, the 3rd tall would just be a low impact player. You go out and find another tall to cram in there then Fristch becomes even less effective because he's gonna have to play higher.
Meanwhile our defence is absolutely ****ed after May leaves. We won a flag with Tmac and Brown, ain't winning shit with their equivalent outputs in defence.
Lol yeah that shit"Teams wish they were us" I believe was the line.![]()
Heard tonight that we're heavily into Andrew Brayshaw. Happy to throw a lot of $$ at him.PLAYERCARDSTART8Andrew Brayshaw

Pre-game dinner. Cam Luke sitting on the same table. Literally said we've thrown the kitchen sink at him.From media or elsewhere?
reckon Brayshaw is a jet but it'd cost us a stack of draft and salary.

Wow..Pre-game dinner. Cam Luke sitting on the same table. Literally said we've thrown the kitchen sink at him.
Out of contract end of 2025Wow..
What's his contract status?
Absolutely. We also struggle to land a big fish also. Who was the last big fish midfielder we landed via trade?Freo already have three first round picks this year. They will fight tooth and nail to bring guns in, not lose one in his prime.

Forget to say this, a couple of weeks ago my Freo supporting mate over in WA said he reckons Brayshaw wants out and to the Dees also, so that's another.
Please be true.. I would truly melt in a good way if this legit happened.My Freo mate wasn't full of shit then? The mailman![]()
The worry is Goody would run with a Brayshaw, Oliver and Viney midfield next year which would disgust me. Honestly think id rather keep the picks it would cost us, unless Freo could do us a favour and take Oliver in return in the package.Please be true.. I would truly melt in a good way if this legit happened.
