Sounds like Rosas off the table. Suns have told him he must return in elite condition in pre season

Not a chance he leaves. Classic Saints move though
Just improve the ****ing list.

Glad. The last thing we want is a kid who comes from the tropics, who struggles with professionalism to be recruited to Victoria and hope he finds motivation he did not have previously during a Victorian winter in unfamiliar surroundings.
Sounds like there was no interest from anyone....

Do we prioritise Konstanty now?

For what could be a fairly similar price Switkowski could be available who's a much more proven commodity. Would prefer him if the rumours on the Freo board are true but Konstanty wouldn't be a bad young pick up. Not sure he's a huge improvement on a healthy Durdin though

Bit late and a possible now irrelevant reply but I'm going to say it anyway...
The 'fretting' is only because nobody else really contributes on a consistent basis. It's all on the shoulders of our two KPF.
It’s a common theme for a goal kicker, the fear of missing an easy shot consumes (negativity overrides) over nailing it. All upstairs coupled with a process and sound action to complete the job.

This does not surprise me in the slightest.
On the surface it appears like there’s a little faction with Vossy and his inner circle of favourites.
If you are in the circle you get gifted games and can do no wrong.
But if you are on the outer you’ll spend far more time in the ressies than you deserve, be the sub even though you deserve a full game, and have to sit around waiting for a contract while Crippa’s mates all get locked up until 2029.
The circle has its hooks in everything from list management to match committee and everything in between.
Wonder if we’ll be adding to our Irish recruiting drive this off-season?
Where do we see M.Duffy being trialed if/when he is listed (assuming Cat B), midfielder or HBF and what have been the thoughts of his pros from any training vision?
What is the thinking on the progression of Rob Monahan and his positioning in a side in 2025 (tough being developed, especially as a forward in the VFL with our depleted sides / injury list)
Potential incoming from our academy
Season ‘25; BCampo (mid), LCampo (small def)
Season ‘26; Ison (med+ def), Gresham (small fwd)
Season ‘27; Cody (mid/Hff)
Hopefully the academy input can assist into a quicker transition to AFL footballers ala the Sydney way of grounding on the way through.

Curtin has gone from strength to strength at WAFL, looks really good.

I still don't get why we're picking up Haynes. Is it just as a depth player? If so not sure what the appeal is for him to come given McGovern and Kemp etc. play similar roles.

Reckon we like Kemp forward and see Haynes as capable of playing a decent chunk of the season as a third tall defender. Reckon it'll be he and McGovern fighting it out for one spot, and a bit of pressure on Gov to perform can only be a good thing.
Also gives us the luxury of managing both of them. They could play 12 games each and get the benefit of regular breaks throughout the year.

Makes sense. Don't get me wrong I rate Haynes but he's 32 so I'm assuming he's coming in to play a role for a flag tilt. It will be interesting to see what our line up round 1.
Shake the bloody tree - I've said before I reckon he is gettable. Brother and mother well integrated at the Blues.
Haynes is RELIABLE as a defender; McG is an attacking defender, and Kemp is not a defender...

Good news for Kemp. Can now be moved further up the field and played to his strengths. You don’t waste talent like that.
Unfort it’s a rated Haynes. He’s not the droid we’re looking for.
Not the same player from AA quality before. Sizeable pay cut too but better than $0.

Yes but how reliable at 33 and 34 years old over a 2 year deal will be the question.
Shouldn't be even considering strategies like this. Just proves we have significant weaknesses in our list. We need consistency and fitness to run games out from all our list.
