Looking at their draw they will push up the ladder a bit the Eagles. No way they start with pick 2. Richmond and North have that tied up. Prob pick 4 or 5. They could trade 5 with a club that has a couple of first round picks. A club with a few first round picks…Campbell would have to play wing because IMO, he's too soft for defense.
That boot though.
Definitely. Splitting the pick isn't as grotesque if it ends up being 6 instead of 2.
what happened to Seppo?Couple of old posters who don't post here anymore sadly - wayToGo_, Scham
I like the idea of Zurhaar - I think he's keen to leaveForget about McDonald get Baker & Zurhaar into our forward line would make us a lot more potent.
He still pops up very, very occasionally. Posts a bit on X too.what happened to Seppo?
The SCG actually suits the Longmuir gameplan so it’s not beyond the bounds of possibility at all. On smaller grounds our defensive shawl chokes opposition teams quite well.The best way to lure Warner over is to beat Sydney at the SCG in round 16, need to let him know we’re a serious contender.
What are the alternatives?Zurhaar is a bit of a red flag for me. At least he wouldn’t cost picks but I’d guess he would be after a 5 or 6 year deal in decent coin… baker is a much safer bet IMO.
Can any Zurhaar fan point me to examples of great games he’s played? Just don’t think he’s that good! Am I missing something here or what?
There’s a few lads that need to be paid on our list. Brayshaw chief among them. Clubs like the saints will be offering him well over $1m a season and while it’s unlikely he would leave, it is probably that freo will need to pay him more to keep him.What are the alternatives?
I’d take as many forwards as possible.
It has worked with other clubs and giving players a second chance usually gets instant results.
Zurhaar, Windor, Buller, the truth is we should of offered Waternan a deal a few years ago
Players that won’t cost the earth but enough to move.
Then we keep the draft picks that we want.
New toy got old before we even got it.Bro we moved on from McDonald like 5 rounds ago.
Sparkly new Amiss and Raz or not so shiny Lachie... let me think about it?Then Neale wanted to come back to Perth but we weren't willing to part with the picks that ended up being Amiss and Erasmus.
Can you imagine us giving up a couple of early picks for someone that doesn't really want to be here then trading them again for less? Trent Croad/Chris Tarrant situation again.
These guys just seem like the type of player we dont need. Zurhaar would be behind Jackson, Amiss and Treacy so would struggle, and Baker is a great foot soldier but not really a goal kicker. Just wouldnt fit our team.Forget about McDonald get Baker & Zurhaar into our forward line would make us a lot more potent.
White too or was he draft?Then Neale wanted to come back to Perth but we weren't willing to part with the picks that ended up being Amiss and Erasmus.

I would think someone like Bailey Smith would be a good get.
Luko yes.Don't say that around here. We're all comfortable in this cycle of welcoming back WA slop and sending off talent. We definitely should not be trying to make ourselves a real destination club and lifting those barriers with the recruitment of a Lukosius or Smith.
Smith in a perfect imaginary world where the knee is wonderful, and the white powder is just talc for his leather poisoned hands, sure.
I tend to agree, just that smith in particular seems to have a critical mass of potential issues.I don't really get the paranoia around his injury. He did an ACL once. ACLs aren't as career impeding as they used to be. There's a few examples of players right now carrying on about their business as if it never happened to them.
Also the character thing, I get your concern but this is seriously an issue that has been manufactured by the club. Every club has their share of morons, we just "overcorrected our culture" to the point where we now have supporters performing armchair Psych Tests on every potential candidate on whether they're worthy to join the 9PM bedtime club.
We need to get out of this mindset, and the club needs to do better by the players. The thing with Hogan was so stupid.
Also I'm quoting you and responding to you, but this is just a general though that's been grinding my gears.
