Peatling is quality and in high demand. Can't see GWS accepting F2 when pick 25 is right there. We'd also need to trade a contracted player if we wanted to gain both Peatling and pick 25.

Yep and that would be a fair enough reply from them. Do GWS have academy kids coming next year they'd need picks/points for?

Makes some of our list management decisions a bit more baffling if we've backed ourselves into a corner with list spots then. As said elsewhere, there are candidates who should be paid out a year early.

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Might be between them and Melb to see who wants pick 25 the most

One's out of contract, the other wants to go home no matter what. They don't have a whole lot of wiggle room for negotiation

They don't, but Peatling definitely has suitors other than us that would take him in the PSD with generous contracts. I reckon 25 is still good value for him and beats losing him to the draft.

ANB has to be done for the F2. Anything else would be a fail.

Would be funny if it ends up being the other way round

But yes, Peatling for 25 and ANB for F2 makes the most sense

if its a four year contract its a fail too
2+1 sounds right

 

[1970crow]

Yep, both Johnson and Kornes ..... Froggy if you learn how to use google, you may find the reference

If you read his rationale, you'd laugh at him. 'They've got Dixon and Boak leaving', LOL, that'll make them better because Ken won't be able to select them.

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

they can have murphy schoenberg mchenry berry take your pick

Why not take all?

 

[1970crow]

Johnson said Geelong would miss finals this year, Melbourne would make finals, Port and Sydney would go out in straight sets, GWS would make the GF, yet they're the straight setter.

There was another one I forgot, the guys were getting into him about on Fox.

In Waynus terms, that's astute and a very good record.

 

[1970crow]

I must have missed those calls .....I've only seen his good calls ....I've always found him to be quite astute

Of course you have.

 

[1970crow]

You've said this a few times .....weren't we still up amongst the best FWD lines in 2024 ? ......that doesn't happen with slow ball movement

Our problem was losing too many CBA's ....and having to start attacks from HB, without a recognised QB-HBF

I think you're confusing gameplan with a weakness in our midfield .....Soligo was dead on his legs the last 6 games, Rankine suspended / injured .....Dawson plugging holes around the ground

You also forget, we went into experimental mode once Finals were out of contention

Experimental mode, rubbish. You need to return to reality.

 

[1970crow]

We honestly won't know that until next year

As astute judges say ....unless the team is giving effort, the gameplan is irrelevent

I'd say the same ...unless you have a reasonable injury run, and list depth ...you can't judge a gameplan

Losing CBA's and starting attacks off HB, is not part of the gameplan .....if you run with 3 talls up FWD, then speed of ball movement is essential

We averaged less than 1 less centre clearance v opponent per game. Less than 1. Time you realised you really don't have much idea about the game.

Cheers that wasnt working before but yours did for some reason lol

 

[BucketsNj]

Said no one ever

Who is the tall if Thilthorpe or OBrien go down?

 

[crow2crow]

were still not being linked to peatling in the media so I find it hard to believe

 

[George Kramer]

Who is the tall if Thilthorpe or OBrien go down?

Do you think Burgess is a forward or ruck?

 

[jenny61_99]

jenny61_99 Any discussion on the logo?

No sorry. (That was the other thing I forgot to ask).

 

[jbanger]

Just catching up on this but does the Peatling rumour match up with the mystery target that that twitter flog said was meant to drop last Wednesday? Or just coincidence

 

[1970crow]

Shows the value of KPP's around the league, they're not waiting for us to just delist him like Hawthorn did with Henderson

He's UFA anyway.

 

[crow2crow]

Do you think Burgess is a forward or ruck?

waterboy

 

[1990crow]

Just catching up on this but does the Peatling rumour match up with the mystery target that that twitter flog said was meant to drop last Wednesday? Or just coincidence

They were suggesting Aleer

 

[1970crow]

I heard a rumour NED & Parnell will be delisted.

See if this turns out

It's just a matter of time, we're not offering them a contract and if no takers at trade table, they're done. Ned might survive if the ANB deal fails to get done.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Jesus. Saw Jenny’s post earlier. Had friends over for drinks. They left. Cracked a brew. Scroll through 5 pages.

None the wiser.

 

[jenny61_99]

I replied to Jeffcrows matching rumour re bartel. Joking but really hope he is the connection (he replied saying he wasn’t talking about Montgomery too but left the following post re bartel comment to go through to the keeper…)

He’s not (as far as I know)

 

[1970crow]

You sure about thhat himmelberg talk?

Pretty sure there was talk earlier that we were looking to offer him another contract but he wanted a guarantee to play more AFL?

Sureky he knows Tex, TT and Fog play ahead of him and we can't play a 4th tall. Our defence of F50 turnover is already poor.

Yeah people like manure etc wouldnt know if it bit them on the ass
