Colin Young isn't his manager anymore. He's switched to Mac Sports.My guess is it’ll start with a 1. No idea what the second number will be. Here’s to me being wrong!
Happy to have a slab on it! Colin Young isn’t known for ****ing spiders
I’m probably underestimating Quaynor’s ability to get his attacking game going in 2025 and overestimating Parker and HDM’s potential but I see the small defender role as a good position for a development player whilst Maynard is around.I’m all for allowing the right players to leave at the right time ala Noble this year, but I’m not convinced IQ is the one. If he doesn’t take the next step in 2025 this debate changes and McReery is the other.
Without a Perryman style deal it makes it a lot harder to pick them off as you’ve suggested. Take Geelong as the example because they manage their cap better than anyone and they would never offer this type of money for a Perryman level of player. When was the last time they lost one that didn’t want to go home?
McConville is definitely better for us than Young! Hopefully that translates to the end result, but I won’t be holding my breath…Colin Young isn't his manager anymore. He's switched to Mac Sports.
Last night’s B&F shifted the dynamic on Rioli. Our B&F is Friday? If so I’d like to revisit the discussion after that. For now though I agree with your take, but I suspect our B&F will make pick 25-7 (or whatever 20 ends at) seem untenable.
It seems counterintuitive with how important small forwards are these days, but I agree I think it’s a role that supports a developing type. I specifically look at what Humphries, Burgoyne, Wilmott and Robert’s have done in very strong teams this year. Without that intercept and attacking element to his game IQ doesn’t have his edge of 2022/23, but I’m hopeful he can recapture it and don’t subscribe to the “too big” theory.I’m probably underestimating Quaynor’s ability to get his attacking game going in 2025 and overestimating Parker and HDM’s potential but I see the small defender role as a good position for a development player whilst Maynard is around.
But I’m starting to come around to your pov on the Perryman contract. My concern is now we sign Perryman on that contract and he then goes onto have a middling season on the wing and half back whilst our midfield remains the same and that allows others to think they’re worth more money.
The only way I’d be comfortable with that offer is if we intend on using him as full time first possession on baller that unlocks Nick Daicos but I’m unsure whether Fly will commit to that and whether Perryman even has that capability.
He has already made his mind up. Clubs involved will try and make it work.Surprise surprise..Joe Richards hasn't revealed his inner most thoughts to a bunch of blokes he's never met.
They have no clue what Joe's thinking..why would they?
Hope all our new player get to that bust levelSo basically he’s an above average bust? Confusing
If we knew Houston and Petracca were going to be available in 12 months we may not have done the trade for Shooter. And had we known a horrific run of injuries would have seen the pick become 10, again we may have chosen not to do the trade.I think if we were to summarise our positions as:
You thinking Schultz for Pick 10 and second rounder is a good piece of business whereas Perryman as FA for 6 years at $850k p.a. as bad piece of business that will pressure our cap and affect our ability to attract future players
Me thinking Schultz for Pick 10 and second rounder is a bad piece of business that affects our ability to offer enough trade capital to be in the frame for players like Houston/Petracca this year and Perryman as FA for 6 years at $850k p.a. for no picks is a good piece of business given the structure of our salary cap.
I'm happy to agree to disagree.
That's usually how it worksHe has already made his mind up. Clubs involved will try and make it work.
He will than state his position or preferred club.
It will be announced during the draft.
Everything going on behind the scene that us dickheads are watching.
Install a Rheem in the meantime.
Bobby Hill’s is almost identical at 63%.The disposal efficiency is a concern
Is that a player with Japanese roots?Hes also saying we are still in the race for Hosuton. Interesting that Tom Morris is saying its down to Carlton and North.
I see it a little differently. The strength of this draft will be that you’re going to find quality all the way into the 40’s, but that 40 odd still includes the academy players. By removing those academy players as you have that depth stretches into the 30’s.It's the strong draft stories that makes me think it's a good deal. The compo picks are relevant in terms of pushing the number out, but the others aren't - it'll probably end up 22 or 23 of the available players, the valued academy, FS kids aren't available or relevant in terms of our draft. That pick in terms of where they've scored draftees might sit pretty high in a standard draft.
Yeah Bobby needs to tidy up alsoBobby Hill’s is almost identical at 63%.
Yep. It's impossible to judge really without a really clear understanding of the current draft, which I sure as hell don't have.I see it a little differently.

You’ll also find guys in the teens that otherwise would have been top 10 in other drafts. The logic doesn’t necessarily leap that guys taken in the 20’s are the equivalent of teens picks in other drafts etc etc.
Given his contract status you negotiate hard, but the reality is now that Rioli won Richmond’s () without a top 5 B&F result (which is possible) it’s going to be a hard sell.
You need to change that pick. That's Wright in lieutenant killing mode - taking out Voss and whichever other duds they have running things over there.Out : Richards ( if he goes)
In : OWIES
Imagine if I got my dream trade period.You need to change that pick. That's Wright in lieutenant killing mode - taking out Voss and whichever other duds they have running things over there.
Maybe I’m taking McRae’s comments too literally, but this is where I revert to him preferring players over picks. Rather than it being about trading out of drafts I look at it as him valuing the guy that finishes top 5-10 in our B&F over what might equate to a mid 20’s pick in a draft where the recruiters might not want to be picking.Yep.

Fly's job is about next year, so Noble trumps draft picks, but he'll only get one vote in terms of these decisions, and who knows - any pick we get for Noble might still go to a player.Maybe I’m taking McRae’s comments too literally, but this is where I revert to him preferring players over picks.

For a practical example I’d look at 2020. In hindsight having a bundle of picks between 20-60 in that draft was much better value than having top end picks. The problem was we wound up with 4 of the 10 iffy picks in that bracket. At least we get a sense for it all in a weeks time!
God I hope soSo, anyway, would pick 12 and Joey Richards be enough to get Houston?
you forgot StringerImagine if I got my dream trade period.
Owies, Cumberland, tomlinson and Perryman. Central America hear I come
