I spoke with someone very close to Chad Warner yesterday. They confirmed that Chad purchased a house in Bicton and it isn’t seen as an investment- meaning he is intending on living in it in 2026.

At this early stage he, his management and his family are all favouring West Coast. The thought on teaming up with Harley being one of the main reasons.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out this year.
hope your right, perfect player/age/need for WC.
 
I believe they view Sims as a forward ruck, and probably hope he can develop into the good version of Peter Right. So they hope Sims develops into a third tall forward ruck role, instead of the type of third tall Shanahan develops in to.

Pure speculation, they didn’t go either Whitlock, as they give off King twin vibes.
What a crock of sheet - Shanahan a third tall! I was wanting to give you a break but when you post crap, it needs calling out

What are you trying to do here?
1. Are you deliberately trying to be passive aggressive and downplay what Jobe can be just to piss people off?

Or

2. Show your ignorance and come clean that you have never seen Shanahan play live. Comments like that would indicate your ignorance of leading patterns being elite and compared to patterns are JK. Do yourself a favour and learn something about leading patterns for KPF before you expose your ignorance

Or

3. Give the air of being an insider pretending you know what Richmond thought about Sims is a joke. His profile said forward ruck. Most write ups I read said that so maybe post something original when you start with “I believe ..”


I can only assume sitting in the mouldy flood plain in Queensland and watching limited TV footage would be likely reasons you posted such dribble.
 
Not what I’ve heard in so far as an interstate club drafting a Vic draftee. Having your first year in rehab is not a good thing and you can expect WA clubs to place a significant discount factor on them.

Medical improvements yes but do not discount the misery of missing being with the full squad. That was one of the big gripes about the AFL releasing only limited details to the point of perceived injury coverups
All good points, but as you mentioned, that’s mostly flight risk, and psychological profiling, and little to do with whether clubs view ACL’s as a high risk factor at the draft.

Hotton was not a reach . He is everything we want chesser to be . High end skill and pace .

Hotton was a massive flight risk even though when his draft stocks were going down he was saying he would go anywhere he was still a risk .

When you have 7 picks in the first 25 a no point in playing it safe .

Hotton is very much in the shane Edwards mould . May take a few years to get his career going but be a gun by the end
Many here might forget, but Hotton was the most inform player at the start of the CTL season.

He was getting more plaudits than Jagger and Levi.

From memory, he was also one of the very top performers from the CTL preseason athletic testing.
 
I don’t think I said reach I said risk. His knee is a problem, moreso than usual but yes, as I said Richmond could afford the risk. No way we could with our pick. Not doubting his ceiling but there is doubt in his ability to get back on the park and hit his ceiling, especially in Perth.
Why?

Has he had a set back with his rehab?

I get the insinuation about your hard training ground.

In the context of discussing Richmond’s draft haul, Hotton is only a risk if there’s an issue with his surgery and rehab.

And Richmond can afford to be patient with Hotton. They don’t need him in the team and performing.

Hotton, Smillie and Travaglia were the early CTL standouts. Still doesn’t change the fact that Hotton did his ACL and his recovery has been complicated by lack of range and return to surgery.

In an interview just prior to the draft on Gettable, Hotton indicated there had been a setback of sorts and he had yet to start running at all

Given he was being talked about as a target of ours at the time, there were some alarm bells being raised on here as to his suitability

Richmond clearly could afford to take a risk with him but having taken that risk the selections of Trainor and Sims were additional risks that were perhaps unnecessary. To me, they were the two picks that potentially mean their draft haul might only end up very good rather than excellent

The selection of Faull balanced out because Armstrong slid to one of their later picks

That armistice didn’t last long. Now, pick 14 I wasn’t thrilled with the trade…

He also said "I haven’t said squat about the Eagles draft haul."

Funny spending so much time on the Eagles board and offering no constructive input on our draft, and instead spending so much time talking about other teams'.

This is classic briskent. He uses passive aggressive statements like calling what most believe is a KPF and calls him a 3rd tall. When called out - he claims innocence.

The only times he has talked about anything relevant to our team was in 2023 when he was trying to sell Dev to us, and trying to downplay Harley's quality as a mid.

You need to block me if you are going to read everything I post as negative or a slight against West Coast.

I honestly don’t know how you can read anything in that post as passive aggressive.

If Oscar and Waterman are going to be more stay at home forwards, and Shanahan get up the ground more, then yes, he’ll be the third tall.

In time, if Oscar leaves or there’s an injury to Oscar or Waterman, then Shanahan gets moved up the pecking order.


Everything else you’ve posted. I was pretty clear with statements like “I believe”, “in my opinion” etc. I don’t pretend to have watched any of these kids live, I live in QLD. And I don’t pretend to have any inside word on anything. Again, that’s your personal dislike for me influencing your reading of my posts.

You need to read the room mate, not sure why you're so invested in WC, but a Brisbane nuffie coming on here pontificating about our drafting and a range of other issues isn't going to see you garner plaudits or pats on the back. Why don't you pop over to the Freo Board and indulge them with your views and thoughts, I'm sure they'll welcome you.

Mate just put him on ignore.

I recon he posts on here for your reactions. Dont feed the troll.

And passive aggressive is his style. Like how he would rant on and on about how it will take 10 years to rebuild via rhe draft. When everyone knows no club rebuilds just using the draft. But Briz ingnores that entirely but then discusses the Lions midfield with two top shelf mids traded in in Dunkley and Neale and Daniher a FA winning them a flag.
 
Brander aside our drafting of talls has been elite for a long time. No concerns over the ones we've picked up over the last few years whether they're third tall or number one.

Hopefully the new crew know how to draft mids (without losing the ability to draft talls).

Ruckmen I'm less worried about overall but having one that can at least break even would be nice.

**** I miss football.

Why can't he come here and give us his opinion. Just because some old ladies on here get their knickers in a twist when someone has a view different to the west coast hive mind he shouldn't be able to be on here?
Honestly the overreacting here recently is embarrassing and from ATG whose always been a great poster.
Some ppl need to get out more. It's the festive season

I wasn’t replying to AsterixTheGaul, with the post he took offence to.

If any poster here says something I agree with, I give it a “like”. If I was posting to wind up AsterixTheGaul, I wouldn’t be giving one of his posts a “like” in the current discussion and moving on to the next post.
And passive aggressive is his style.
No it’s not.

Most of my posts are just part of what ever discussion happens to be going on here. I didn’t introduce the current Richmond discussion.

Most of the time people don’t reply to a post they agree with, unless they are expanding further upon it.

The majority of posts here are from one poster disagreeing with another posters point of view. You might have several posters on both sides of the discussion.
Like how he would rant on and on about how it will take 10 years to rebuild via rhe draft.
What rant?

You didn’t agree when I first said it, we got in to a long discussion about it, and neither of us changed our opinion.

I don’t bring it up every time as a stick to beat someone else with.

Somehow I don’t believe I’m the one ranting on this topic, as I don’t keep reintroducing it.

When everyone knows no club rebuilds just using the draft.
Agreed.
But Briz ingnores that entirely but then discusses the Lions midfield with two top shelf mids traded in in Dunkley and Neale and Daniher a FA winning them a flag.
I don’t remember the last time I introduced any of those players in to a discussion here. I really try not to mention the Lions here, and if I do, I preface why I’m mentioning them.

I even refused to reply to that post about said players in the Oscars Allen thread on the trade board the other day.
 
Have you tried an exclusionist, private school bootlicking, hypersentive holier-than-though egotistical appeal to authority tirade approach yet, briztoon? Seems to work for some. 🤗
