Didn't we already get him last year?

Haha I think you're right.

My bad!

 

[maverick001]

Was Long drafted as part of that midfield brief? Or a forward given he showed how good he was there at the champs?

In ROB interview he described him as a forward with some capacity to go mid

 

[Into The Black]

Your mates give you your nickname - you do not get to change it. Too soft HB.

Well done Pieman - we applaud you

Interesting. What do your mates call you ?

 

[Into The Black]

WC have never really played cute at the draft. Want a player then draft him at your selection & don't run the risk. Considerable interest in Hewitt in the late teens

Any update on the Zorko v Petty insult ? You have the inside goss, according to you ?

 

[Chad in Vegas]

Bit surprised that they tell the players that they're about to pick them (or at least just some of them?).

While we are circle jerking the club, the media team has put out some good content this draft as well.

Indeed. It's almost like tweeting a few photos isn't really that hard.

Can't understand why posters don't ignore others they don't want to listen to rather than trying to stir something up. What are you trying to achieve?

 

[KERRPOW]

As long as you don't call it nepietism

Its Nesbetism

Asterix the Gaul.

Duh

Fair enough. I didn't really think we would 'play cute' in that way. I guess Hewett is just an interesting one - case could be made that he's top 5 in the draft on talent, and his range blew out for reasons which might have had to with more than an evaluation of his on-field potential (though it's hard to tell). Guess I'm really wondering where you see him.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Interesting. What do your mates call you ?

I get my fair share - it is a sign of endearment. How given. How received.

Sometimes just Asterix or ATG.

One calls me Asterix the Ugly.

The good news is I don’t need counselling afterwards.

 

[donpyke92]

His mates called him Obelisk, ..then he trimmed down and they called him Getafix.

got annoyed with that, but accepted it, so now known as Swinging Dick

Might be bs BEagles stuff

 

[Dark Sharks]

People call me Swinging dick.




Edit: nooooooooofuitilllsllnbbdjqjsßsssssssss

Personally, I always pegged you as Justforkix.

 

[Chad in Vegas]

Duh

Asterix but you can call me Mr TheGaul

Not Chokesondix?

Edit: nooooooooofuitilllsllnbbdjqjsßsssssssss

Yep, ok. But any of those people actually real, or just interweb followers?
It's ok, I love the DS stuff, just not enough to go swinging dicks kinda love

 

[bzparkes]

Not Chokesondix?

Nope...

 

[jesterwester]

We drafted 2 Vic Country boys, too- Long and Burgiel have played together, which should hopefully mean the transition is a little easier coming over to the West when you’ve got someone in the same shoes.

Quite excited by both Burgiels and Longs highlight video. If fit they should get a go pretty early on in our front half.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Let's all just remember that we're teasing Bender the stupid campaigner here gaiz.

That'll teach him.

 

[donpyke92]

Mindful of offending other people, but a few pies were bowled, back when it was ok.
Times move on & SWingnDix directed our draft with The One Eyed Campaigner..glory days

So looking at senior list turnover at the end of '23, the more likely avenues would seem to be:

Retirement:
Hurn - Highly likely
Shuey - Strong chance given his body
Nic Nat - Outside chance given lack of good other options. Contracted for 2 years but if his body is shot they may call it early

Delist potential:
Witherden and Clark would seem the most likely
SPS - A chance if he continues to be on the fringe
L.Edwards - At risk if his body doesn't hold up another year or progress stalls
Rotham and XON not entirely safe but I think Rotham is more trade bait than delist candidate and XON if he shows improvement should be ok
Jamo, B.Williams should be ok given Nic Nat is the only senior ruck and Barnett is obvs not ready
Other fringe players like Waterman and Foley I think are likely to be kept on
J.Williams its too early to tell but you think as a young KPF they give him time unless he completely spuds it up

Rookie players West, Winder and Trew obvs are on the edge

Culley you'd imagine is upgraded from the rookie list at year's end

I would have thought Gaff should be included in that list of retirement possibilities, he looked really shot at the end of last year, being played out of position wouldn’t have helped, but he didn’t look good.

Bit surprised that they tell the players that they're about to pick them (or at least just some of them?).

I bet Adam Simpson when invited to surprise parties waits outside to tell the birthday boy or girl that there's a party waiting for them inside.

Really surprised to see that, kinda takes the magic away from seeing some of the reactions on draft night.
