brady got saved from himselfKonstanty for free levels out the overpay for Daniel
Serious question…does anyone know if Brady ate it after completing his cooking session…Can confirm Brady has a party pie….l repeat party pie![]()
So we gave four years to Fisher just to replace him with a smaller, less defensively gifted fringe player from a club in a similar ladder position?Yep but it wasn’t, and probably was never going to happen.
You know, if my auntie had balls she’d be my uncle kind of thing?
So Clarko wanted an experienced half back, and he wanted someone to step in now rather than risking a long term draft pick.
44 for Parker and K-man is fine
25 for Daniel is a reaming
"We'd like to bring in some experience without diluting our draft hand"
Checks remaining picks....
Now we'll be forced to take unders on 2 or future picks
Twomey said it in the broadcast too.I think I heard Marty Pask say we only gave Daniel one extra year.
I think you're right. I wonder if adding a future 2nd would be enough to move it from 18 to 10/11Nobody is giving 6 & 10/11
1-7/8 is similar this draft
anyway good luck
It is a shame we didn't pick up a future 2nd and 3rd round pick last year when we had a ton of picks and at the time and were cashing in the future pick assistance.
It is as if we had no plans to pick up more mature players and we just assume we would get natural improvement. It seems from a list management perspective we altered course and it left us with compromising our draft hand this year. It doesn't give a lot of confidence in the list management tbh, we still have a lot of holes in the list structure-wise. How many years is ti going to take to get the structure of the list right?
Time for some brutal honesty. Players that wont be around in 3+ years time:
Corr
McDonald
Kallan Dawson
Pink
Ste[jemspm
Coleman-Jones
Lazzaro (still no contract)
Players not great in their current role:
Tucker
Stephen
Simpkin
Fisher
Ford
Bergman
I've left out rookies, despite our departures already I can easily list a dozen guys who aren't that great.
People can bitch about bringing in Darling, Parker, Daniels, etc but they are walk up start a mile better than what we have going around and people are pissy because we paid a grand total of a second and third round pick.
I think my major gripe is a lot of this reconstruction of the list should have occurred two years ago, Logue was the only quality inclusion. You can't blame the people here for things done before their time but we have held onto low output players like Stephenson and Taylor for too long.
I am pretty happy with the inclusions, I am not happy that it took so long and we made no plans to do prior to this year and the opportunity cost is we had to trade out picks where there are a lot of good options in this draft, that is part of the price of us not executing the off-field stuff as well as we should.
I know..the natives here are very particular about it their ….Warnie traditions….…nibbles it is…(but l still remember party pie growing up in BendersDo not ever come to Warrnambool and ask for a party pie.
It is like asking for a parmi.![]()
Hannaford could be anything and his intensity is manic. Much better skills and can play anywhere on the ground.Except that Hannaford is like Konstanty when he was drafted, merely fantastic potential ...
Alternatively, we gave four years to Fisher to provide run from half back and then added elite ball use by recruiting an AA, B&F winning defender from a finals side.So we gave four years to Fisher just to replace him with a smaller, less defensively gifted fringe player from a club in a similar ladder position?
Genius.
Does that mean Dogs are paying his salary for the first three years?I think I heard Marty Pask say we only gave Daniel one extra year.
Yeah the six others miss their targets, that’s the problem. Even dinky 25m kicks sideways. In the history of the game, it’s possible no backline has missed more targets than McDonald, Fisher, Scott, Corr and co. So, for all his other shortcomings (!), Daniel has one elite trait: kicking. And no team needs that more than we do.Daniel hits targets.
Short, lateral nothing kicks.
We have six others on the list to do that already.
Good stuff Brady.
Fringe player from a club in a similar position?So we gave four years to Fisher just to replace him with a smaller, less defensively gifted fringe player from a club in a similar ladder position?
Genius.

Our Danish/Estonian academy producing the goods though. Exciting timesAgreed, I can't see Ste[jemspm being there much longer.
2 + F2 for 10, 11, 20?If we manufacture 2 + f2 for
one of tauru or armstrong
one of berry or hannaford
one of whitlock or gerreyn or faull
Happy to declare this offseason an unequivocal success.
I want to see Comben in the Forward line. The Dawsons will be bigger next year.So how do we line up next year?
FB: Corr ~ Logue ~ Archer
HB: Goater ~ Comben ~ Daniel
C: McKercher ~ Parker ~ Scott
HF: Zurhaar ~ Darling ~ Simpkin
FF: Fisher\Konstanty/RHJ ~ Larkey ~ Curtis
R: Xerri ~ Sheezel ~ LDU
INT: Wardlaw ~ Powell (5th onballer? HBF relief) ~ one of the three I listed in the pocket ~ Duursma/Tucker?
My guess is one of Fisher or Tucker get included for their versatility. Not sure if we'll play a proper second ruck like Teakle?
I'm not sure how we play this many onballers and I feel we need Parker to play a decent amount of midfield time. Simpkin to a wing? I dunno.
