Spoiler: 2024 Draft Order

 

[Keystone agony]

He said 5,6,7 so you mentioned 3 and 4 year players.

Um.

He said dont hold onto a kid after 5 years and then trade them (ie i read that as do it before they enter year 5)

Your already commiting to year 4 with hobbs, so is it a trade him for a 3rd in 12 months time?

Or go now? Thats why it was a question

 

[Keystone agony]

I cant see the Finn Maginness happening. Hawks would only settle on a 2nd and id only want to give up a late F3 or F4

Hawks would take a future 3rd by the end of trade period if he chooses us or the Swans.

 

[Saintsone]

You don’t rate berry? He’s a very good footballer, who could be so much more in another side but is happy to play a sacrifice role for the team. Could easily go to another side and average 25+ every week being an inside mid

Agree , Berry is a ripper. Blokes like Berry win you flags.

Surely Stringer to the Swans after the ineptness of Logan McDonald, Amartey and McLean

It can only really help yesterday

Also if theyre losing Parker hes a similar replacement in that regard

I just have a feeling Stringer would prefer 1 year at us over 2 years at the swans... would have to be 3

Your statement was

So for example case what would you do with Hobbs and Tsatas years 4 and 3 next year respeectivly

We are getting into the territory where we know what we have. If someone came to us now and said here is pick 15 for Hobbs, would you take it? Absolutely you would. I doubt he is that top 10 from draft class player we hoped he would become and every indication is now showing why the (supposed) top 5 player slid into the teens.

Tsatas is essentially into year two. He still has (some) time on his side. If he shows the improvement at VFL level > AFL level over the next 24 months then we have a serious inside mid who would more than likely push a Darcy Parish out of that first group starting centre square mix. I nice problem to have. On the other hand, he stagnates, we realise that he is a one dimensional midfielder only with skills only better than Dylan Clarke and we try like hell to see if someone **** will overpay on the proviso he was a first round draft pick.

If we really are to get creative then I wonder if we look to a Fremantle and take Will Brodie

+ a second rounder for a future 3rd to acquire points for Kako and pad out the list


Will need to get creative and would somewhat make some sense albeit one I woudlnt agree with

I don’t know why either team would do that. Surely Brodies contract isn’t even close to salary dump territory and we don’t need him at all

With the rumoured additions of Baker, Bolton and possibly trying Dev Roberton &/or Chad Warner then that stacked midfield gets harder again to break into

 

[Nicholas61]

Not sure why Brodie hasn't been playing for Freo whether it is injury or concerns over his endurance (two way running) which was spoken off. The matches I saw him he is elite in close with his hands and very creative - the Simon Black/Jobe Watson eyes in the back of the head type and racks it up.

 

[bombreys]

Hawks would take a future 3rd by the end of trade period if he chooses us or the Swans.

Big call. Would you take an F3 for Bryan if he requested a trade?

to be fair, hes a ball hunter who loses his opponent on transition. Would fit in at Tullamarine

Absolutely i would for Hobbs in this pool

But the reality is that aint happening. So what do you? Do you sell him if someone offers pick 40 or persist with him in the hope he turns it around past year 4?

Im not sure points are an issue for Kako with our current 2nd

Hes rated at pick 15 in Twomeys mock and 95% of the time players go later than what he has them for the NGAs/FS

 

[doug85]

He can’t get into the freo midfield now. And he won’t get into our midfield.

He played 0 games this year and 5 in 2023.

 

[Vindicater]

Big call. Would you take an F3 for Bryan if he requested a trade?

I would want a 2nd but would most likely end up at a third to be honest.

 

[Keystone agony]

Id be happier with Preuss as a DFA

Atleast plays and trains with aggression albeit injured a fair bit

exactly, if they value the list spot, maybe we can do a Gold Coast deal like the Bowes deal to Geelong

You were railing against bringing in Rotham, Mcguiness and Membrey like one day ago because we need to bring in kids.

At least try to be consistent.

was a suggestion to garner more draft collateral to avoid going into points defficit on a Kako bid.

fwiw, I wouldn't do it

 

[Zach Package]

He can’t get into the freo midfield now. And he won’t get into our midfield.

He played 0 games this year and 5 in 2023.

The only way it could potentially be rationalised is if he is on stupid money given he is signed up until 2026 off the back of that one break out year he had, and if we could get something of significance for taking him.

It makes no footballing sense, but could potentially make some list management sense if you squint and if we could take advantage of them doing something silly.

No thanks.

If you reckon our transition play is bad, sticking Will Brodie
