Player Watch #?: Jack Darling - has officially requested to be traded to NM on a two-year deal. Pick 64 is expected to be tabled.

[The Nostradamus]

Well at least we can put to bed the notion that Simmo wasn’t positive in his view of bringing Darling in.

More importantly what is simmo doing next year

Bring him home

Trigger is dumb dumb no matter how we spin it. I hope its addition didn't involve insistence from Darling and that we're just incompetent. Incompetent is expected, but incompetent and spineless is tragic

But you have no idea what the trigger clause is

It might be play 20 games , 50 goals preseason, top 10 IN B&F

Or it might not be

Talk about shouting at clouds

More importantly what is simmo doing next year

Bring him home

Dunno his personal situation with kids in school etc, or if he wants to stay in Perth for a bit, but if he was to decide to stay in Perth, and take some time out to figure out what he wants to do next, I'd at least approach him about doing some scouting of the juniors and WAFL next season.

To even have the option of a third year is hilarious.

This is his last four years:



He’s plummeting.

First deal done tomorrow morning?

He’s plummeting.

Look at the wins and losses though. Forwards starve when the team is getting flogged, it's not a reliable 1:1 indicator of his own decline.

Well, I think the club has taken or will take a huge risk in using Pick 64 on Jack Darling

^its now pick 67

 

[Liam Boy]

There's no way a guy was called Yestin Eades. You're making that up.

Is it any crazier than Phoenix Spicer?

 

[Liam Boy]

I've heard of Phoenixes and Spices.

^its now pick 67

Who cares. Pretty sure Pick 67 would have thrown up just as many "wonderful" players and I sure as hell am not going to waste some more time going through the last 10 drafts to write down names of blokes, who mostly I have never heard of.

The point is it’s even better of a deal
