Latest news and rumours:

• Tom Barrass officially requests trade to Hawthorn
  • Duffield: Eagles want two first round picks - "It may have to be in this year’s draft rather than a future pick."
  • Morris: Josh Battle is set to join Barrass at Hawthorn in 2025 - Ralph: Unclear if Hawks will pay enough for Band 1

• Kysaiah Pickett interested in a trade
  • "Club and management are confident they can work through his concerns"
  • Daniels: Pickett’s preference is Fremantle. Fremantle are keen, but Bolton the priority. Getting both “not impossible”. West Coast “an option if things get complicated.”

• Jai Culley, Coen Livingstone, Loch Rawlinson in line for one-year deals (The West)
  
  
• Liam Baker and Shai Bolton

[Happy Mastenator]

why do so many people here want petracca?

In a vacuum I'd love Petracca because he's awesome and love watching him, but sadly he's the wrong age and would cost too much for where we are at.

 

[Ghossein]

Why wouldn't we want him. Gun midfielder, exactly what we need.

we need to pay big for a 28 year old midfielder to supplement Kelly (30) and Yeo (30)?

 

[twce13]

kozi is a gun. and dees would rightfully want big compo.
i want him, but i also dont think its the right move given our limited resources and pressing needs elsewhere.

 

[Ghossein]

In a vacuum I'd love Petracca because he's awesome and love watching him, but sadly he's the wrong age and would cost too much for where we are at.

exactly.

i'm not saying petracca is bad but why would we go for an older gun midfielder when we have an old midfield and we are trying to rebuild?

Why not just put in an offer to Pendles while we're at it?

 

[random260]

I just have the feeling tracs going to go for unders given this mess.

Melb is better off selling trac in a bundle

 

[new breed]

Well why not trade in Pickett - ,Pick 3

Melbourne give pick 9

Barrass Pick 12 + f2

So we go to the draft with Pick 9 & 12 + 23 Pickett .

I'll run ....

 

[Obeanie1]

Funny that brothers look alike

 

[Happy Mastenator]

The key word there is "trying" to play those roles. Kosi is clearly better than Brockman and Petch by a long way, and probably better than Ryan especially with the way his body is at the moment.
He's the perfect age to be with us long term, he has the potential to rotate through the midfield.
It's the exact kind of move we should be making to improve the team both long term and short term, obviously as long as it doesn't cost us a ridiculous amount.

I think he's less a potential midfielder but he's certainly a centre square/stoppage player, feels like whenever he is at stoppages/centre square or other, he makes things happen. If he does that then rotates back forward with someone else then moving into the midfield for general play, would be fine.

 

[Tugga27]

He won't do that with us as we have no midfield. We must fix the midfield first mate.

I agree that we need midfielders first.

But when/if, top end talent wants to come to us, we have to make it happen.

We're not in a position to pick and choose TBH.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

we need to pay big for a 28 year old midfielder to supplement Kelly (30) and Yeo (30)?

Thats the kicker, again we would not want to overpay and we won't which is why he won't be chased by us.
I was more just answering why you would want him in your team.
I agree he is out of our capabilities to get.

 

[random260]

Well why not trade in Pickett - ,Pick 3

Melbourne give pick 9

Barrass Pick 12 + f2

So we go to the draft with Pick 9 & 12 + 23 Pickett .

I'll run ....

So our best mid we draft is a pick 9. No.

 

[Godfather32]

Why wouldn't we want him. Gun midfielder, exactly what we need.

I think he's a very good player, but for what he's going to cost and his age it's not the right move imo.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

He's the sixth ranked non-key forward.

Keep up Masto, we have dozens of sixth ranked non-key forwards.

 

[stallon]

Yay!! He had Viney, Petracca and Oliver bombing it in all day every day. How is he going to do that at West Coast? We need 20-30 disposal ball movers as a priority.

If we got Peatling, Draper and Graham/Baker added to our midfield, I think we can afford to chase a young forward who fills a need

 

[greatwhiteshark]

I think he's a very good player, but for what he's going to cost and his age it's not the right move imo.

Agree totally. I am just saying he is exactly the type of mid we need.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

If we got Peatling, Draper and Graham/Baker added to our midfield, I think we can afford to chase a young forward who fills a need

If?

 

[Godfather32]

I think he's less a potential midfielder but he's certainly a centre square/stoppage player, feels like whenever he is at stoppages/centre square or other, he makes things happen. If he does that then rotates back forward with someone else then moving into the midfield for general play, would be fine.

That's what I meant sorry, should have clarified. Rotate him through the centre square in bursts swapping with Ryan and Kelly.

 

[noobermensch]

Sorry, you're service are no longer required, we'll have no draft picks left at this rate

Trading all your picks for Petracca I take it?

 

[Godfather32]

This was the second and final senior WAFL game by Gerreyn with West Perth missing out on finals, so the last opportunity we have to get a look at how he managed the step up to the level. Unfortunately both games were heavily impacted by rain and a very heavy deck, and as a result this wasn't a prolific game by any means but he had some fantastic moments that underlined his talent. He managed to take some nice marks with a greasy ball, and was clean at ground level. Size and strength wise he was certainly not out of place, but there were many times when the veteran Bulldogs defenders would beat him in contests with their craft and savvy.

Would love us to draft him if he's still there later on

 

[twce13]

Trading all your picks for Petracca I take it?

actually, according to vfl media we are trading all our picks for baker.

 

[stallon]

If?

I dont think any of those are unlikely

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Keep up Masto, we have dozens of sixth ranked non-key forwards.

Sorry, i am trying to work, at the moment it appears multiple pages popping up between checks.

 

[noobermensch]

actually, according to vfl media we are trading all our picks for baker.

Hopefully that's just Sam McClure and or Tigers shills. Hopefully the mind rot hasn't infected the rest yet.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Pickett is a 23 year old star who has the potential to be a superstar. If we can contrive to get him with the Barrass Pick 12ish as the centrepiece, you pull the trigger and enjoy the career of your multi AA small forward who provides frenetic pressure (sometimes too much) and 40 goals per year at the feet of Jake and Oscar.

Not sure there's a better small forward in footy beside Toby. Charlie Cameron

on career output for sure, but as of 2025? Pickett is seriously, seriously good.

 

[random260]

Who's more important tobie or pickett is a tough one.

Tobie fills an important role in backline but will transition to mid successfully.

Right age right player. In 5 years time we will be contending for finals
