WC might not care that much.

They were going to use 14 on Baker anyway.

Richmond might be pissed though

How on earth Baker is worth a first rounder, in particular in this draft, is beyond me.

 

[Mutineer]

Logan Smith is projected to go in the 3rd round, so they may be hoping they can use 46 and then use 53+56 to nab Smith? We'd want picks back for the same reason though as we have Walsh hovering around the same area.

People here still damage controlling over the rachele treatment. You had dawson crying in the media about how a teamate celebrated a goal. It started over a teeth joke in the media. ****in snowflake club however you look at it.

Mate you love putting on your own spin don’t you

1. There was no Dawson crying in the media

2. He never targeted the goal celebration- his narrative was broader

The only people acting like snowflakes are people like you who have an issue with a young player getting bit of a kick in the ass - some of the comments on this non-issue is soft as butter (toughen up)

This time next year I guarantee that people will be singing a new tune - the kick in the ass the Rash received has been the making of him as a player and leader

FFS - stop flogging the same dead horse especially when Rash himself doesn’t have an issue and is back training hard

We haven’t won a flag for since 98, in the last 7 years we’ve won a wooden spoon and haven’t played finals in that period. We’ve lurched from one **** to another and are run by a bunch of morons. Of course negativity is going to be more prevalent because that’s our reality.

I think you’re classifying yourself in the middle which is wrong, you’re clearly in the camp of trying to make a positive or an excuse. Your Nank explanation is a classic example. Nank just happened to be the player needing to be managed who just happened to be playing in Smiths spot, what a convenient coincidence.

As we have discussed before - there is negativity and there is nitpicking every decision that’s made. Generally where you sit. Nank is a decent young player - but every chance he is out of the side this year. And when you look at the output (stats) side by side Smith had a higher output (metres gained) in an unquestionably poor year

So not surprising he wasn’t completely locked in each week.

Not Crows related, but this needs to be asked.



What the **** are Melbourne doing??

Another crack at Houston perhaps?

 

[Mostyn]

How is it bleedingly obvious? You are again acting like you know everything said, done, discussed and resulted from this indicent within the club even though you only know of a couple of public comments. I wouldn't doubt the personalities and characteristics of every player are discussed, tactics on how to reach every player are different from the player.

From my little tiny peep hole of a window looking in to the giant club, from the small amount of information I have on hand such as players wanting to come to the club, the playing group appearing tight, and players not wanting to leave, I'd say the culture is pretty good.

I wonder if all of the players getting together to train today had a conversation about how bad the culture is?

Holy crap, they'd HAVE to be a chance for a top 5 pick next year.

lol wrong. Dawson did target the goal celebration.

"How does giving it to port supporters in the crowd help us win" was his exact quote.

You have no argument

 

[Scorpus]

I still rate their squad. It's finals quality. Seems like a good trade risk to get into a strong draft twice

 

[Danger in Texas]

Feels like they have a cap on how high they can finish if Oliver doesn’t get back to his best, but yeah I reckon they’ll have a better year next season with Petracca back and extra player development

 

[jackster83]

They look just like us at the end of 2018 (except their Chair did the right thing and resigned).

Such a waste of some supremely talented players.

 

[Scorpus]

The young talent in their squad is very good and they're adding a pick 5 midfielder to that mix.

Pickett, Rivers, Van Rooyen, Bowey, Windsor, Tholstrup, Pick 5...

The hindrance is their coach

don't forget Petty!!

I reckon their list is a step better than ours in 2018 (both for senior and young players) and overall is a step younger.

We had the oldest list in 2018

 

[Scorpus]

don't forget Petty!!

Only if he goes back to defense

 

[LoBu]

People here still damage controlling over the rachele treatment. You had dawson crying in the media about how a teamate celebrated a goal. It started over a teeth joke in the media. ****in snowflake club however you look at it.

Oh you're back, and talking about what happened 9 weeks ago

 

[Mutineer]

Feels like they have a cap on how high they can finish if Oliver doesn’t get back to his best, but yeah I reckon they’ll have a better year next season with Petracca back and extra player development

They'll get talented NT Small forward/utility Ricky Mentha from their NGA zone likely for nought in the rookie draft given he doesn't seem to be on the media pundits radars.

 

[Scorpus]

I don't get the narrative of West Coast "snoozing and losing" with Barrass

Last I checked he was contracted for another 3 years. If Hawthorn don't pay up, West Coast won't release him

 

[FullyBigKPro]

We had the oldest list in 2018

The MAIN issue I forsee with Dee's is that Gawn and May will both be 33 at start of next season. Massive key players to their formline.

Brayshaw obviously gone, lost 3rd in their B&F and good versatility in in ANB, Oliver very iffy, Petracca no certainty to return to top level form, Van Rooyen is their only KPF who will get best defender each week.

its very fragile at Melbourne I think.

 

[PeterSalt]

I don't get the narrative of West Coast "snoozing and losing" with Barrass

Last I checked he was contracted for another 3 years. If Hawthorn don't pay up, West Coast won't release him

They got Battle, you'd have to wonder if they're questioning how important Barrass is for them going forward vs money and draft pick spend elsewhere

Agree it's a weird narrative, except it does cater to their audience

 

[1990crow]

West Coast should be telling them trades off.

The bias around from the Vic Media is incredible as i caught some FoxFooty tonight.

Barrass - West Coast should just accept unders... lol why when he is contracted?

Rioli - Gold Coast have plenty of picks so should just pay up #6 & #23... even though #6 alone is overs.

Houston - said he is a better player than Rioli... which he is, but Port should accept less than Rioli, even though contracted.

Smith - Dogs should accept unders with Cats 1st rounder as he is a risk. How? They must have Oliver on their mind.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

West Coast should be telling them trades off.

Which is good for everyone else as Hawks need key defenders & would leave them with Frost.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

They got Battle, you'd have to wonder if they're questioning how important Barrass is for them going forward vs money and draft pick spend elsewhere

Agree it's a weird narrative, except it does cater to their audience

Barrass is a much better player than Battle.
