Been in.the bighouse too long. Only an hour of yard time will do that to you.

Geelong offered Charlie HUGE $$ prior to that 2018 signing. We had to be strong with our offer.
Club did the right thing, obviously.
I find the discussions around McKay interesting
Many of the games I have seen live this year, I have come away with mixed thoughts
At times he is really in the zone, constantly on the move, attacking the contest with a real presence
Other times, he seems to give up on an aerial contest or not attack that contest with real commitment

That's reasonable.
I see a decent plug & play defensive option having a greater impact than that though.
The ability to win more one on ones has a pretty significant knock on effect. Rather than hedging their bets, it frees up Saad, McGovern & Weiters to play more assertively & offer significant punch from D50.
It's an interesting debate
At the same level of quality, I'd generally lean to a spine player.
Is there a viable gettable KPD, at the level of Houston this year? Not so sure
Of course cost comes into play

He’s good, but like the majority of KPP, his value is overrated. TDK appears on track to be far more influential (than any of our KPPs imo), and a lot of that comes down to will and courage. He will likely be worth the $.
We have too much money tied up in KPPs imo and we’re getting only average returns.

It seems you're likely to gain more of a placeholder style option & still need to develop your own longer term option.
I know that as a general rule, you don't say no to quality so outlay has a significant say but I see another HBF (acknowledging some positional flex), as a nice but non-essential acquisition, given where our list is at.
Someone just posted that, Young, Kennedy and Cerra have been told they can explore other opportunities
If true, in Young's case, it would mean we would have a ready made type already lined up

Cheers mate, I missed that.
It seems there's a lot to play out.

Would be shocked if that is true re Cerra, the other 2 make sense.
The only rider on Cerra is if something is still stirring in the background re Petracca

One of our issues is ball retention. Having player who consistently hit the target is essential.

We were sitting top 2 mostly without any impact from Cerra.
If we can shop him around for another decent first rounder, I wouldn't mind it.
That ‘someone’ posted this on another social media forum. Unknown if true.
I’d suggest it is purely speculation.
Young had a very good end to the season, is 24 years old and plays in a position we have no depth in.
Kennedy speculation rife re being subbed in our final. Played 22 games.
Cerra lost form, fitness and confidence due to ongoing hamstring injuries. The club has sent him to Qatar for specialist treatment.
I call BS.
I can't comment on the validity of the information, not on TC
I just checked deano35 on TC has been around awhile and has more hits than misses over the years if I recall correctly …

Berry/Lyndsay, Dennis, Campos, Boyd
Houston, Rosas/Konstanty, mature KPD
Solid if we can pull it off

Getting a good player in the second round isn't that crazy.
But Peatling and Brown are both great picks

194cm measurement taken pre season for a growing boy younger than most of his draft class. Take a look at the WA championship games.
Yep, being WA boy certainly takes out the Viccentric bias in the media.
Will not be an in between size. 194cm itself is tall enough for the right style of player, but will be surprised if doesn’t end up 197 or better (birthday 28/12)

Robbed us, Jobes had a choice and made it.
We then let him go, which was disappointing.
We did get compo for Jones
Reckon you may have gone one too many....can't see how we get Berry/Lyndsay AND Dennis if we're trading away our f1 as part of the Houston trade. Anyway, here's my Xmas stocking list:
1st rounder - Berry/Lindsay/Dennis
FA's - Rosas and Haynes
Trade - Houston
F/S - Ben and Lucas
Rookie - McMahon/McCartin
Total of 7 inclusions.

Yup probably gone too hard, would need to move fantasia to rookie list....also not accounting for Haynes.
Rosas isn’t FA, will need to trade
