AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
It's the age, basically no 20 year old rucks look as good as he has, even off a limited sample. Without listening to what freo_leo29 heard, it's a fair point that he's possibly trade bait if needed and I should calm down. I agree you let him go to get a big name sorted.
I share your sentiment with Knobel. Why not just take the chance and rookie him? If we are tight on list spots there's nothing to lose. He either gets picked up by someone else when delisted or we get him. I like Odin and think he has potential but if you had to choose between the two...
I noted he was wearing a Peel top
when picked out by the cameras with the rest of the boys (Tracey, Darcy, Pearce and few others from memory) up on the hill during the coverage.
Tight on list spots is not an excuse I'll accept for him to be honest. Not immediately re-signing for trade reasons I'll understand
Depends, we may have plans to hold points currency for Brisbane or Gold Coast. so we need 'available' list spots.
And when he's the steak knives that get Melbourne to let Kozzie leave...?
It was just the launch today.
All peel players eligible but not selected would be expected to wear the polo at the gameI noted he was wearing a Peel top
Oh I thought it was an all day thing, that's my mistake I didn't realise it was just a quick one.
No, I will deadset lose it if they delist to manage list spots. There are much worse players and prospects that should be going ahead of him
Yes, I understand for trade reasons
"That guy who wanted to cut my ears off? You remember? I seem to have missed him when he came round yesterday, you got a number for him?"
Stop spoiling my fun.
I am 100% with Snuff on this one.
Idk if this is true generically, but I'd fairly confidently say that this doesn't apply to us. Tall, slow-ish inside mid with iffy skills who has transitioned into being a valuable utility. Isn't that pretty much champagne Banfield? I'd be more interested if he offered more defensively, and while I don't think he's a liability there (he did a couple decent jobs on Fyfe in the past), I don't think he's the answer either.
We have an extra list spot available after delisting Keuk as we played with the maximum number of rookies last season. We can gain another list position by delisting either Jones or Stanley for the same reason. Jones was apparently signed to a 1 year rookie deal for some reason/.
I think I'm a bit alone in really wanting to find a "support mid" as much as anything. We can make arguments it should be Johnson, Erasmus or Noddy and I'd understand that but I think our midfield is in danger of looking insane on paper but not working in reality. Adding Bolton and possibly (likely???) Warner sounds incredible but every elite midfield almost ever has had the guy to do what the stars dont want to (or shouldnt be).
Sweet ****ing jesus, A WHOLE WEEK before even FA opens. Isnt that even worse than previously?
Nah, about the same.
Ahh yes, that would be why then I stopped listening until almost the start of the actual trade period opened.
I think you're right, but Kennedy is not that player. He wants to be in the primary on ball rotation. Any support mid we traded in would still have play near to half their time in another position because Caleb, Andy and Hayden would be in front of them 70% of the time and there is at least two other players in the side who will be competing for the remaining rotations. At the moment it's resolved by our fourth midfielder being on the bench a third of the time because he's old and broken, but that's not ideal to break out ross-speak.
