• Archer Reid (2027), Loch Rawlinson (2025), and Coen Livingstone (2025) sign extensions

 

[Obeanie1]

The West Coast team of 1989/1990 were in a different place than the West Coast team of 2024/2025.

Does Matera thrive in a side missing the likes of Mainwaring, Lewis, Kemp, etc? Hard to say.

Stop dodging.

Matera was a generational wingman.

Every club would use pick 3 to draft a player of that quality.

And the last time I checked the wing is part of the midfield.

 

[Monsterdarlz]

Suspect Richmond will find it harder then expected to land the FRPs for there players GCS will have bidders for there picks

 

[thiccgucci]

hey folks. long time lurker - posting to see if theres any weight to the Powell rumours circling around? WA boy, could be a decent pick up with the stack of HBs gold coast are bringing in.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Wonder if there's just as much urine in the Tigers trade thread as ours atm.

Would love for it to be. Haven’t seen anything about it. Where did you see it?

Clarke our list manager said yesterday that we were waiting on a few players decision before we move to the next lot of priority’s. Graham was the really own known one at that stage that we were waiting on.

Would cost a bit in a trade?

Would be a weird move after he signed a 4 year extension this season

Ka-Powell: Wil signs on ‘til 2029

Wil Powell has turned his back on free agency and inked a long-term contract extension with the Gold Coast SUNS.

[Bacchus]

Band 4 compo for Graham.
Eagles can't even game the system.

Or to scared to try.

I guess it was before Noble and Rioli thing played out.

They still have Jeffrey, Sexton and Budarick on their list too.

Hawks F1?

I havent heard, but he would be a fantastic get, he's a good age but unfortunately is contracted long term.

If gc would let him go for a late teens pick I'd launch into it

Its not a dodge, its a legitimate question. Put prime Matera in the side now - are we winning significantly more games with the rest of the cattle that we have? Probably not.

My opinion is that Travaglia will be a good player, but he isnt what we need right now. Not at pick 3 at least.

Hawks F1, nice price

Hawks F1?

That would suit all parties I think.

Ends up as turning Barrass + f2 into Powell and Baker probably.
Not as good as we would've hoped but I think Powell for hawks f1 tips it back to us a bit

 

[stallon]

Powell would mean there is slightly less of a need to draft a half back. Probably don't want Powell to be our #1 distributor from half back, but still helps.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

But IMHO now that we've landed Graham we shouldnt want Baker.

We've got our 26 y.o Tigers mid. With Kelly and Yeo rotating through the middle we shouldnt need another unless they're absolute top shelf.

We should be rotating Yeo off half back and Kelly off the wing and the likes of hewett, ginbey, pick 3/6, hutchinson and baker and Graham through the midfield. People need to stop expecting Yeo/kelly to be FT in our midfield..

I now want

Siddy draper
Xavier Lindsay (14)

Keep 14 to obtain Xavier Lindsay he will be available there

Woosha is back.

yeah im not really sure. admittedly havent really thought too deeply into how it would work cause im a hawks fan. heard it from my best mate at work who went to churchlands in the year below powelly. he's been back in WA recently, talking about how tough its been with his baby (which apparently they werent even expecting haha).

I agree with all of this, barring Baker. Based on the acquisition of Graham I just feel like he is surplus to requirements (if we are being asked to fork over Pick 14 for him).

 

[random260]

Well done Matt Clark first win of the tenure. Giving only 42 for Graham.

Agree with Yeo and Kelly, these experienced players coming in are going to provide us with a lot more flexibility.
We will be much improved next year.

 

[new breed]

Amazing , great news !!

 

[woosha24]

Woosha is back.

Who is he replacing?

When Johnny's at the club, good things usually follow.

 

[beagles]

At last! A decent coaching appointment with Woosha now Head of Coaching

 

[Spod]

Woosha is back.

Wow, an excellent surprise appointment! Good to see he's covering all programs including AFLW and WAFL. Very hard to knock the club's off field moves lately, feels incredibly different to what it did a year ago.
