Game Day 2024 Trade Period - Lian Yu - that liminal space between trade and draft.

[greatgatsby]

Sydney had the worst KPPs of any Grand Finalist in recent memory.

 

[Lach72]

Rightio then

Let the games begin

 

[Joao]

They did it last year...

 

[Taylor]

But is he really any different to Amartey?

Sydney in a whole world of hurt with McDonald.

I think he is

Better then McDonald that's for sure.

 

[Lach72]

We have the three talls to win this up front.
Need a couple of quality smalls now.

Ah Chee and Lohmann were huge, but also mainly it’s how your mids perform.

Heeney, Warner and Gulden would be embarrassed by that.

Add Warner to Serong, Young, Brayshaw, Johnson, O’Driscoll and Erasmus and we have a young core that’s good enough and young enough.

Interesting times ahead

Definitely need pace and flash with the ball.
Bolton would be such a difference. Combined with Warner's intent to bounce and attack.

The big one will be Darcy. He needs to be fit.

 

[dominguez]

Yes. But make it happen next year. With OUR picks only. None of this trading into the future shit.

We're not getting Warner for picks 18 and 36.

Hamling would actually have been handy for swans today. Lions took so many marks inside 50.

 

[mayne iac]

Now we offer Sydney 9 n 10 for the chad

 

[arsesmart]

Sydney should go hard to buy a talented forward, they are way too workman up there.

Maybe the JUH to Sydney rumours will heat up and they'll need picks

JUH? What, another overhyped tall forward?

 

[s_wd6]

31 goals in 14 games since he went forward in the VFL. I don't get how he doesn't get a place on that team when they have such poor KPP stocks.

They should definitely go for a big shake up of their list. Perhaps consider a fire sale to start with.

 

[FreoRicci]

Devon Robertson is a WA guy. We go after him?

 

[Alfonz]

Anyone watch today’s game and think we don’t need more midfield depth? That’s where the game was won and lost.

And no I’m not saying it’s more important than adding small forwards but having Brayshaw, Serong and Young isn’t enough.

Yep, Brisbane very deep with Neale, Dunkley, McCluggage, Berry, Ashcroft, Fletcher, Bailey, Rayner.

It's why I prefer Bolton to Pickett. Warner might come, but I'm doubtful we have the salary cap space and think he goes to WC. The development of Johnson, O'Driscoll and Erasmus into solid players (e.g. Berry level) is more important than people realise. They also have size which is extremely important at the business end.

Maybe we make finals for a few years yet without going all the way (it's taken Brisbane a while) and it comes down to Robinson maintaining his gun junior status and the AFL doesn't change the access rules again. Ashcroft has made the world of difference to Brisbane.

Aside from the midfield, can also see why Martin has been looked at. He's an Ah Chee type of player.

 

[Joao]

Devon Robertson is a WA guy. We go after him?

Wouldn't get a game I don't think.

 

[Lach72]

He’ll end up at West Coast anyway

 

[Duz97]

What we need is the 2013 team to fornicate like rabbits and pop out as many kids as possible so we can potentially get a daicos or Ashcroft seems to be what all premiership teams have

 

[CapitalA]

In the case of Alex Pearce, will it be removed once his bone heals? Because it sounds like the metal plate actually weakens his arm.

I would put money on a follow up surgery to remove the plate.

 

[Vintage]

Well at least the preliminaries are done with and the real stuff can start now.

 

[Joao]

I am pretty sure all but 1 of them played 100 games for the club, but we probably need another 10-15 years before their kids hit 18.

 

[Taylor]

I am pretty sure all but 1 of them played 100 games for the club, but we probably need another 10-15 years before their kids hit 18.

That is the group that has the most qualifying fathers for sure. There was a period of time when most of our qualifying fathers in all of club history were either still playing or had retired a year or two ago

 

[silverscope]

Anyone know who would be our next likely F/S pick?

Any freo kids playing football?

Immediately thought Ladhams should've been in as soon as McDonald did his ankle.

I think there was a McManus maybe?

Edit: 17 and playing Colts but nothing to write home about.
