I think the bigger issue is the very early melt downs around not getting a player signed. Every rumour for an unsigned player leads to pitchforks and burnt effigies.

There is plenty of weeks ahead before we need to start setting fire to the club. The same happened with Sturt - way too many went the early drama on that.
Probably borne through understandable frustration about the team losing players over the past however many years that brings on a level of learned pessimism.

Also a level of human nature to look for patterns when either they're not there or they're somewhat there but you can't include everything in that pattern. TIL that human tendency is called apophenia, so I'll remember that if I ever want to sound even more pretentious. I think you see that especially with the pre-rumour panic. Even before there's any real reason to say that a player OOC is leaving, it's "Why haven't they signed yet? Clearly their bags must already be packed."

In reality, you can look back at most cases of players leaving, see the reasons why it happened and what did the surrounding context look like for those players, and I'd be cautiously optimistic in most cases this season coz they didn't fit that. Admittedly, the 2 I thought could be off which I wanted us to keep were Reidy and Voss, and I'm pretty happy to be 0/2 in that respect (only pretty happy coz if Reidy re-signs I now worry about Knobel, which may well be me not practicing what I preach).
 
From all reports Voss is Signed up.

The priority signing is Andrew Brayshaw.

Hopefully NOD isn’t too far off and his manager has tested the water to see his value. Fremantle needing to juggle the numbers.

As for the ruckman. There is an endless rotation of rucks every year. I like Knobel so hopefully he resigns. Reidy has improved but I’m not fussed either way. From all reports he has signed in for 2025.

I know peeps are bored and craving any news but let’s be honest it’s about 6 weeks from Trade week so seems a case of premature…

Knobel is a keeper as he has big upside given his height and ability
 
Interesting question popped up. Can’t find the original source, but created solid discussions amongst friends.

If every player was to enter the draft who would go 1?

Let’s extend it and say top 3. Have to also assume we don’t have ‘needs’. In other words if starting a team from scratch and you can pick anyone currently listed.
