I don’t think he was saying that he wasn’t at all. He was just saying perceptions change fast and many pundits had no clue about Allan until the last game of the season. As they might next year for example with Jiath and Demattia. As in fact they changed this year about Richards
They're all still very speculative. Allan looks like he'll develop an inside game, but he was pretty bad when they were playing him on the wing in the VFL. Not sure if he has the game sense to develop the outside game you need to go with it
Just watch brother. Growth spurt held him back. Everyone in WA knows this bloke will be good.
He's an inside midfielder. Not a wing
Yeah but you still need to spread and link up unless you're crazy good on the inside.
He was crazy good inside before his growth spurt. I'll back him to excell.
I hope you're right because it's hard to make a judgement off one decent game that had no pressure. If he's to be an inside mid alone, he's going to have to get to elite level and he doesn't have the outside game just yet. I'd wait to see how he goes next year, then we'll get a clearer picture
Enjoy watching this kid. We are lucky to have him. Biggest fitness tank at the club.
I'd have him on the trade table. I'm a skeptic and think that Melbourne game will have bumped his price above his likelihood of making it.
Sounds good to me.Soooo, future 1st and Noble and junk pick
For 13, mid round first (upgraded from 23 with a player)
On traded to Melbourne For Petracca?
I’d do that
It’s a trade of convenience for them, not of necessity, and therefore not a salary dump, at least in the sense that they have no real incentive to move him on for a lower cost.
I don't understand how his not on an afl list
Agreed. My post was that Gold Coast only need to offer a suitable draft pick for Noble. They don’t have to entertain their 13 for our F1.
Keeping him would be an inconvenience, not terrible. At the end of the day they can afford his salary as it’s still short term and won’t bust their cap.
Being a contracted player and someone they are chasing we are using that to our advantage - we want pick 13 to replace the player they are taking off us. We are offering them our future 1st to compensate them for this, but 13 is the centrepiece of the trade.
Think Nick still falls into the youngster category doesn't he?
If they’re chasing a contracted player and the club he’s being traded from stipulates that a certain pick needs to be a part of the deal, then yeah they do have to entertain that if they actually want their targeted player.
