Yeah good shout. Who would want him though? Barely AFL standard these days and super injury prone.Pay a stack of Hoppers contract next year so another club will take him
Was also thinking Saints. Couldn’t name one of their midfielders these days.Someone would take punt at $400k for 4 years. Pies always desperately trading for duds
Jack someone I assume. Half their team are Jack's.Was also thinking Saints. Couldn’t name one of their midfielders these days.
We owe Taranto & Hopper $7,000,000 for the next 5 years that is left on their contractsJust on Hopper / Taranto contracts $$$
surely we can afford to front load at least one of or probably both in the next 2 or 3 years, we literally have no one else to pay big dollars too.
Salary Cap $$$ to burn. Wouldn't be surprised if AFL allowed cap space for picks soon. Mind you that has already happened with Bowes to Geecampaignerlong. Be good for us to take advantage of though in the short termWe owe Taranto & Hopper $7,000,000 for the next 5 years that is left on their contracts
Balta will be on $1,000,000 a year for 7 years
We can pay 50% of their salaries in 2025 and still bank 10% of the salary cap
Lynch has $1.5 mil owing to him this year
In 2026 we could have $8,000,000 of cap space to play with with all the kids we will have on low cash
Jonty Faull looks like Pat Cummins
Stars of the future: 10 draft prospects to watch in 2025 - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1256448
A few from Twomeys list last year didn't get picked this week lol
No Rodriguez
Twomey loves Duursma, said he'd be shocked if Duursma wasn't number 1 back in MarchThat article reads like they want Duursma to be pick 1.
Early days but I’m on Greeves and Rodriguez bandwagon. Kicking, kicking and more kicking

Sharp & Rodriguez my early faves just from watching more than I have of Greeves. Greeves when he plays at Eastern will be interesting with no Smillie next year. He was quite good in the futures game. Very athletic for his size.That article reads like they want Duursma to be pick 1.

Small criticism but given that the recruitment team obviously planned on going after tall players and one of our two smaller selections is coming off an ACL, why did they keep Kmac over one of the two smalls we let go.These kids are absolutely huge
It wouldn’t surprise me if this years draftees grow another couple centremetres
Scary thought Lalor and Smillie getting taller over the next year
It’s hard to like a duursma though. If he becomes the clear no.1 though I’ll grudgingly overlook the character flaw of being related to XavierTwomey loves Duursma, said he'd be shocked if Duursma wasn't number 1 back in March
Rodriguez could fill the Rioli hole for a bit while he develops or if McAuliffe became a gun starting mid he could stay there.Agree with others re Rodriguez, he’s a jet, thought he was WAs most impressive in this year’s Nationals.
I’m showing my age a bit here, but I think Andy McLeod when I watch him.
He’s a 80m player, that can play hb , mid.
A lot can change in 12 months though.
We're still going to need some bigger bodies to protect the new kids for 3 years.I’d give Hopper the arse. See if we can get a pick in the 20s. Ideally late teens if he has a good season. Keep Taranto though.
