You have to give it to port.
They are very good at identifing talent, and then going all in for a player.
I wish we were half as good in this area.

**** let's not give people flowers for just using their bloody eyes.
Losing Drizz would be a mistake, so I imagine the club is working on something.
What like Soldo, who can't get a game for them anymore and is looking to leave?If we were able to identify 5 good players over the last 5 years, and get them to come to us then I would be delighted.
They are great at filling holes on their list with established players. You can say it is easy, but we can't do it.

They better get something to show for it soon. In essence they've spent the past decade aligning themselves with the list management strategy of Geelong but have no grand final appearance, let alone a flag.You have to give it to port.

Because, believe it or not, contract talks are ongoing all year and not based on two games that happened after the contracts had already been agreed to
Again I don't buy it - You're basically saying the 40th best player this year is around the level of 20th best player this year. Admittedly the media is pretty similar.I think I read it differently.
It's in the brackets.
Last year you had: Bracket 0 (Pick 1), Bracket 1 (Picks 2-6), Bracket 2 (Picks 7-20), Bracket 3 (Everyone else).
This year feels like: Bracket 1 (Picks 1-10), Bracket 2 (Picks 11-40), Bracket 3 (Everyone else).
The cream isn't there, but the overall quality seems better
Brackets are for illustrative purposes only and in no way represent reality. Unless they do. In which case Yay Me!
Sweet is a spud only playing because Soldo is a slightly bigger spud. Some random kid we've barely heard of yet will overtake him in 2-3 years - bookmark this if you like.Sweet, Rioli, Allir
Even Thatcher and Ratugolea have been ok.
They would not be a top 4 side with out them.
I would love a player like Rioli in our side.
I think he would have already signed or committed to signing but the club will announce it after the WAFL season is over. Eg. WhyVoss and Reidy weren't announced this week. If Hughes, tabs, Corbett, Emmett (possible trade) all get delisted from the main list then we have 4 vacancies on the main list but if we also deliskt Keuk and Stanley then we actually have 6 potential main list spots as we played with the maximim of rookies last year. We can keep Sharp as a rookie even if we increase his wages as he was an SSP signing. So if we do what Im suggesting we have 6 draft spots and Sharp, Worner, Reidy abd Voss as 4 rookies. I think we;; trade Brodie for a late pick (eg 4th rounder) if possible to free up another list spot and get his salary off the books.We arent losing Drizzy. No way we let him go. I'm confident we will get him to stay.
He has WAFL finals to see through first.I see we're at the same point in the cycle we were with Sturt now with O'Driscoll?
"He hasn't re-signed so he must be leaving!!!"
Haven't we learnt anything by now?
I agree. He certainly seemed to think he would be at Freo next year.I see we're at the same point in the cycle we were with Sturt now with O'Driscoll?

So hypothetically.
Would we swap Brodie + R2 + R3 for Tim Kelly + R4 if West coast took on all of Brodie's wage and some of Kelly's?
Probably a little light, huh?Where do I sign?

He is 30 but the bigger problem is I don't think he'd what we really need in there. For salary paid would also probably need a late first at leastWhere do I sign?
Would push fyfe to sub.He is 30 but the bigger problem is I don't think he'd what we really need in there. For salary paid would also probably need a late first at least
Yeah but Kelly is an offensive mid moving past his prime, with Bolton, we really need a support, do the hard yards type.Would push fyfe to sub.
I don't think this is a chance btw. I was told he asked, and we said no.
Just curious.

Yeah but we are obviously kicking out every young mid we have to get Bailey Smith so it's a bit overkillWith NOD and Erasmus gone, and Johnson seeking potential trade options, Kelly would be an awesome get.
Didn't he drop beer drinking down to sixpack a day?Darcy doesn’t manage things well though.
Every year we hear certain things about the draft but it's reasonably similar most years IMO.
Pick 50 might be as good as pick 40 in other years but the way they're talking you'd swear there's 60 players that'd go in the top 20 last year. I'm not buying it
