Either that or they have lost confidence in players actually honouring the lead and blazing away instead.

We need as many good decision makers and users of the ball we can afford. Will push those that constantly fumble out of the team.
Just don't think he makes enough difference for the price and the draft pick it will take. But as I said if he will come to Freo we will take him. More to save JL's arse than anything else.

He's out of contract so it shouldnt take much to get him. We just need to offer more than WC and Baker actually state he wants to come to us.
That's the other bit I don't like. It's smelling a bit like Kelly, with Baker not really wanting to come to us. I imagine he will only agree to us if WC can't get a deal done.
Just keep him on a game to game contract. Every week out of contract Stringer would be a sight to behold
Take it a step further, only pay him for Brownlow votes with an AA bonus.Just keep him on a game to game contract. Every week out of contract Stringer would be a sight to behold

We can't give away picks 9,10 for Bolton. We still need to keep adding elite talent.
If the following players were not contracted for 2024 (I know some are not), would they be on our list:

- Delean - is he going to make it?
Think delean needs another 12 months.
Was always going to take some time hopefully another pre season he can show his worth.
Who cares.
This annoys me to no end.
Dustin Martin was chopsticking people and out on the grog.
Fremantle would’ve just throw him out.
Instead he’s the best clutch player of all time having played 300 games.
De Goey is the same. Guess what?
Stringer, De Goey and Martin have all won premierships.
Sick of this culture where players have to be nice and respectful. Where has that gotten us?
Getting nice guys like JOM, Switta because they fit the culture plus Alex Pearce as our captain, who’s such a chill guy.
Don’t have one big game cocky player.
West Coast got Harley Reid and he wants to be that. I can’t say one player on the team is willing to be a dickhead and drag his team across the line. Dangerfield did this two weeks ago as well.
Stringer kicked 4 v Ryan in that 1 point loss. De Goey destroyed our midfield in the 2022 Semi Final.
That’s the difference really.
Would love to get Warner. He has that swagger and confidence to just be a big game winner. Then finally can push out spurs like JOM, Banfield out of the side

We will, just not through the draft this year. Maybe 1 top 20 pick but not 3.

You're only pointing out the absolute apex of performance. There were still a lot of games Fyfe and Walters (especially Fyfe) had significant positive contributions throughout the season. And just on those specific standout games, we've had 14 players receive coaches votes in multiple games this year. They're 2 of those 14.
Also to me, I don't think it's that difficult to anticipate which matches they'd generally be worse in. Fyfe got 10+ CPs in every game pre-bye that he wasn't either subbed off or on in. He did the same once post-bye (vs Sydney). Sonny magically looked a lot better in the full games he played when he wasn't clearly hampered with the hand issues.
Playing basically every game when fit, playing through injuries, fairly high centre bounce attendance, getting the run-with/defensively orientated role for whole games...does that sound like the sort of thinking that gives them the best shot of contributing in a limited but high impact manner? Or does it sound like the sort of dumb decisions that give their old bodies further hurdles to overcome, and then we have to pretend to be shocked when they don't consistently overcome them.
Especially in a team like this one that seems to need winning experience (not JOM's experience), I think strongarming them out of here is dumb. If they want to retire on their own volition and think they can't go next season, it should be completely their own free choice, not the club trying to "push them out with dignity".
Aish lost his way a bit but still feel he's quite capable.
Emmett is a second year player. Actually think he'll be serviceable. Perhaps not best 22 but the type we can bring in if there's an injury or two and he'll at least offer something. We saw that in some of his games.
Stanley is probably getting delisted in the real world but in a world where one or two contracted players are out of contract I actually think he's given another year.
Not sure about Kuek. Never seems these mature agers that still require heaps of development work out all that well tbh.

Is there a world where can get Bolton and still draft Lalor?
Midfield needs improving, starting trio is fine, Brayshaw, Serong and Young are elite. Next few leave a lot to be desired. Willam Drew is awesome for Port. Who’s our 4th to 6th? Johnson, JOM, Sharp, Fyfe leave a lot to be desired. NOD was refreshing inclusion late in the year.
Need to wait for Johnson and/or Erasmus to get to the required level unfortunately.
Outside of them and NOD, the cupboard is extremely bare.
If Brodie was the answer you're not asking the right question.

Rumour is Carlton are looking at bringing in Trac and Houston. Carlton are willing to offload Harry McKay to make it happen.
