Not sure they can giveaway another F1 as they have done that in consecutive years. They didn’t have a 1st in the 2022 and 2023 drafts and now in this 2024 draft. Happy to be proven wrong.

The majority of the worst ones favour Geelong.
I wonder how many trades they have done that favoured non-Victorian clubs?
It’s almost like they have been set up as a development and feeder club for Victorian teams.

We get Rosas and ANB - if - that’s the end of number 4

Weller for pick 2 from Freo was the only other obvious stinker. And then it’s exclusively Geelong
Must be still paying for Ablett

They definitely get credit for bringing in JHF, who was a #1 pick only 1 year into his career. However, I'm not sure whether that counts as using a 1st round pick in the 2021 draft (when JHF was originally selected), or 2022 (when Port added them to their list). I suspect the latter, but I'm not 100% certain.

Didn't we coin the term "awareness" during that period? Because we were too embarrassed to keep saying "hamstring injury" and had to put up the smoke and mirrors to protect birdbrain and co?
Hopefully he stays but here’s what I don’t want to see happen if he goes…
We’re the last people to find out he’s gone.
With no one else clearly qualified gettable we hire from within, the SANFL, or a career leap for someone outside of the AFL.
We give them a 2 or 3 year contract and then forget about it until we’re looking for someone to throw under the bus in a few years time.
If that’s the case, just give them a 12 month deal and then get to work lining up the best option and figuring out how we get it done.
I think he likely stays just on the basis of the job listings he’s shared in the last month being dishonest if he’s talking about “come and work with this great team”, then also, “I’m going bye”.
But the good thing is most years a team is fit enough to win a premiership without Darren Burgess.
But, prefer he stays because it’s good to know there is at least one area of the club that we can trust is in good hands.
Imagine we had been even worse the last few years.

They were "aware" that their hamstring was injured.
Burton, Pyke and that stupid camp has annihilated this club, the fact that someone like Eddie Betts think more of Carlton than us is a testament to that.

No, no, no, and possibly.
Laird moved to defense, Smith moved to SANFL, Murphy moved for ANB and McHenry moved to delist.

If all or most of these potential targets do end up coming, we must have some players being traded out or requesting a trade in order to get everyone to fit.
Perhaps some of these rumoured targets are just that and aren’t real targets. Worse yet, maybe we are planning to use only the minimum allowed picks at the draft.
I really hope this isn’t the case.

Laird to Noosa for Luko and Rosas is a master stroke. Wouldn't have to rush back so much to join preseason late.
Sun's need more moonballers.
works both ways. have had it from horses mouth - the key decision maker with this stuff - that we have on occasion bid aggressively (with players Managers encouragement on whats happening) on players we had no interest in to drive up the value Power need to pay for returning SA ladsI meant as in Polec was never choosing the Crows
….
….
Yeah. I would think it's almost pointless touring West Lakes. Not having a potential trade not touring our club doesn't signify anything to me.

Laird is going nowhere except the back pocket
Remember that Roo over saw all of them.
He’s the biggest issue at the club
In the SANFL?

the only role hardwick would have for laird would be left right out.

Laird should 100% be on the trade block
Smith doesnt have any trade value he can go help SANFL
Murphy may have a modicum of trade value.. could package him up withe GC or he can hep teh SANFL (most likely)
McHenry can go fishing

Laird isnt going anywhere except to Peter Jackson to get a new yellow jacket fitted
Agreed. Imagine we got Nicks to convince Leon Cameron to perform that role (and assist as a coaching director).
