Spoiler: 2024 Draft Order

 

[Beerfish]

My sense has always been WCE took him regardless knowing the epic haul he’d bring if/when he goes. My guess is he does his contract at most and possibly leaves before then.

No doubt. Your guess is as good as mine I suppose. Think it'll come down to whether he enjoys being the Prince of Perth and the centrepiece of The West Coast Harleys going forward.

 

[yodellinhank]

If you go by recent history... it'll be us I'm sure

Surely we had someone competent doing the contracts side of things?

 

[Vander18]

Surely we had someone competent doing the contracts side of things?

Surely not some random ….

 

[Vander18]

Ricky Dyson Guelfi and a 3rd

Surely that gets it done!

I get the sense he would love being the prince of Perth

 

[ghostdog]

Whoever lands Mac Andrew will have a generational talent.

He is Dustin Fletcher on steroids.

I have him miles in front of Harley Reid even.

Mac Andrew? Huh? Has he requested?

 

[ghostdog]

Somebody will look quite incompetent….

Who did the contract?

 

[Howard Moon]

Who did the contract?

The same guy that didn't know how mass rookie contract worked?

 

[doug85]

Trade update from Tom Morris.

Other clubs sniffing around Hobbs but we want to keep him. Pies may be interested in 2MP, but probably don’t have the trade capital.

 

[doug85]

Mac Andrew? Huh? Has he requested?

No, but apparently a vic club has offered a $12M/8 year contract to him.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Pies may be interested in 2MP, but probably don’t have the trade capital.

Do they not even have future rounders? They're not that broke are they?

 

[JayJ20]

Mac Andrew would be so good in our side. Absolute gun and tore us apart twice this year. Unfortunately I don't believe we can do a deal for him now that we have McKay.

 

[JayJ20]

Has there ever been a stronger top 5 than the 2021 draft?

1. JHF
2. Sam Darcy
3. Finn Callaghan
4. Nick Daicos
5. Mac Andrew

All of them are guns and potential generational players in their positions.

Imagine if we had the foresight to trade one of our 2020 top 10 picks for Pies future first at the time. Giants made the trade for only pick 24/30 and a future 4th. Pies pick ended up being pick 2 in 2021

From my memory Collingwood wanted it to select a KPP (might have been Reid) and we said no

 

[ghostdog]

Have seen the article now. Frankly, I think that's the kind of angling we should be doing now for Harley later. Quietly though.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Imagine if we had the foresight to trade one of our 2020 top 10 picks for Pies future first at the time.

JHF, Darcy and Daicos were always going to the Dogs and Pies, and Calla isn't exactly a world beater/is made to look better with the other prospects in that list. And, even then, we probably would've botched that pick too.

Now, imagine if we did go through with giving two 2020 first rounders for Dunkley. Would've been the perfect one-two punch with Merrett.



Nevertheless I'm still holding out hope that at least one of the 3 in 2020 can come good.

 

[Cold Sober]

If the club went down the trade Wright path, Membrey could be a cheap pick up.

 

[Call Me Cake]

400k for Stringer does seem a little low tbh ngl. It's a little embarrassing. But he did initially agree to it.

Some murmurs that Geelong could creep into his ear (take with a grain of salt). However living in the West is an easier commute to Tulla than Kardinia.

 

[MiguelM]

Mac Andrew? Huh? Has he requested?

Still another year but they are saying could be the biggest deal ever done, clubs will come knocking.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

So basically what eth-dog already said days ago.

 

[Keystone agony]

Have heard club is putting alot of time into swingman Wade Derksen

Issue is he is contracted but what can GWS ask for when theyre playing Keefe over him

Taylor also missed plenty of football and didnt get the call up

Id say if we can land him then 2MP/ Lav/Weidemand/ Stringer ect could be easier to move out

 

[Maxabillions]

Somebody will look quite incompetent….

We can always blame Dodo

Stringer seems like the kind of guy who needs a low base with a bunch of cash incentives based on attaining skinfolds, 2km results, goals, goal assists and tackles

50k a year you run a sub 7 min 2km first day back of PS
