I haven’t posted on here for a while. I assumed they folded the club in august but turns out it’s still around. Bizarre.

Anyway, my thoughts this year:
- any more than 49 for SPS is unacceptable
- if we give up a second rounder of any variety for SPP then we will regret it.

Taking three picks in the first two rounds should be the priority.

I think if you had to do SPP and SPS’ different skill/strength ratings for a video game, one would get like 90 and the other one 10, in every single category.

Like a piece of paper, we can fold in half up to 7 times before its no longer possible to fold again.
Let the good fold times continue.

We have been linked to SPP for like the last 5 years..

 

[Chris_6678]

Wonder if we do a 3 way with Carlton and WB. Pick 49 ( Or is it pushed to pick 51?) to WB , Young to Carlton and SPS to us?

 

[Chris_6678]

BIG no to SPP.

Where does that leave us developing West, Trew & Edwards? + our first rounder ( Hopefully a mid).

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

If they're giving up Young and Sweet then they must be bringing in another established ruck. Obviously English and Darcy are their future combo - but surely right now they need more than a 35yo Martin as a stop-gap...

What the dogs have done is left lots of list spots open so they can take lots of picks for Darcy points matching .
Unfortunately this has left all these guys out of contract and other teams are swooping.

 

[eagles rule]

Fair point. I wonder if he’s getting SPS and SPP confused.

SPP maybe a Schofield recommendation ..

 

[mattyc75]

SPP has a lot of flog about him.


Very odd pick for West Coast. Baffling in fact.

On the field just what we need tho.hes definitely not a bruise free footballer

I'm not unhappy about SPP were the price right. However as Chris_6678 said, it starts to make stuff like the West re-signing look a little less sensible if we bring in another established mid with similar characteristics.

But, this is all based on Tom Morris knowing things. So, that's a fool's errand if ever there was one.

So we shouldn't recruit anymore mids? I don't get your thoughts here.

 

[squashface]

Didn't the same journo also say we were trading Yeo for Cripps?

 

[mattyc75]

The SPP rumours probably come from the fact his partner is pregnant.

Can expect nathan wilson type photos 9f the happy couple then

Clearly we’re trading him for SPP duh

Im fairly sure that was Tom Browne

 

[mattyc75]

Thought he has a decent burst of pace at the contest.

He does, strange comment

Think that was Tom Browne, who makes Tom Morris look like Ryan Daniels.

 

[UseR2006]

I hope Geelong go for Ceglar, seems the type of player they go for (older the better).
Would get a right laugh if it happened.

Ah I got my spud Toms mixed up

Curiously there was a Yeo to Port or Yeo leaving rumour started by a Port fan weeks ago

FTFY

We are trying to get SPS to go alongside the starters in Sheed, Yeo, Kelly, Shuey, Gaff & Redden + developing players in West, Trew, O'Neil, Trew & Edwards. Then we have some young players to be drafted this year.

I think there's room for both and more. We need to plan for injuries and recruit for that age bracket.

 

[Chris_6678]

AFL radio saying Geelong have said no to Freo for pick 27 for Clark

LOL i wanted Clark but knowing how tough they will be with that trade I'm glade we are not bothering.

Yeo missed half a season and Shuey missed most of it, Sheed and Gaff should be predominantly outside players. Redden is 32 next year. SPS and SPP are both in the perfect age bracket for for us as they should both almost be hitting their straps, we have no mids that age. Extra competition can only be a good thing as well, and those younger developing guys should be able to force their way into the side in the next year or 2 regardless if they're worth persevering with as Shuey, Redden and Gaff start to slow down.

 

[new breed]

Getting WA players out of Geelong would be like getting out of Alcatraz .
