Speculation Kysaiah Pickett [RFA 2027]

Because we had Waterman and Allen was injured for the first half of the season.
By the way in 2018 we had Kennedy and Darling as tall forwards and Vardy as our Forward ruck and won a premiership.
Waterman, Darling and Allen kicked 94 goals last year and Jye and JT 81 goals. So no we didn't need them.
What we needed was Allen to have a proper pre season and more than 11 games.
By the way Jack Williams is a better ruckman than Treacy so you are grasping at straws

So your whole argument is based around 3 players kicking more goals than 2, a player being a better ruckman than a KPF and the 2018 setup!

I can't compete with your logic!

Let me answer it in a direct way for you(not condescending, unusual, I know).

Amiss and Treacy are indeed great players and, for a club around the bottom, they would certainly improve them.

WCE are in a bit of a unique position where we already have 2 AA quality forwards playing the same position as those 2. I'd hazard a guess at saying nearly all other clubs in the bottom 4 wouldn't have their KPF positions sorted the way WCE have. See North as an example. Larkey yes, but all this time and nobody else.

From our perspective, the argument would be like saying we'd take Jackson and Darcy when we already had peak Cox and Naitanui playing.

Any other club would surely jump at the opportunity but WCE wouldn't in that same scenario, because what are you going to do with 4 peak ruckmen?

It's the same with Treacy/Amiss and the opposite would be true for Freo. You wouldn't do the same in reverse either, because both teams don't need players for those positions.

Yep, you should have taken the condescending route!
 
I’ve got Treacy to win the Coleman this year. Love him as a footballer and I reckon he should get the majority of F50 targets over Amiss.

Shai was a superb get for Freo, which is why I’m a little surprised they will go hard for Pickett. Unless Shai plays more midfield minutes? Crumbers do help create second chances. Shai contributed heavily in most (if not all) Richmond’s victories. Will turn some of LY's close losses into wins.

Not sure Kysaiah will do the same but adding quality players is never a bad thing. He'll cost Freo this years first rounder and next years. If freo do really well this year, Melbourne may play hardball as Kysaiah is in contract. Lots to play out.

Probably the most logical post in this thread and hard to disagree with.
 
You don't

You always need better players though
It is possible to have an unbalanced squad. We have two AA forwards and three developing tall forwards. Taking on more would leave us short in either defence or midfield. And at least one quality forward would be playing out of position. It’s not an insult to say Treacy and Amiss are not high among our needs right now.

Supply we lacked supply last year.We were 17th for inside fifties.
Having more talls doesn't guarentee more goals. It may mean somebody else may get less.
Last year Waterman/Darling/Allen kicked the same amount of goals exactly as Treacy/Amiss and Jackson.
The reason Curnow and Mckay kick so many goals is they don't have another tall competing for their supply.
What we need is for an improvement in clearances and inside fifties.
How sensitive are your mob. I started refuting your mob's blatant myth that we need everything by saying tall forwards is something we don't need. We nave one forward who is all australian and has kicked more than fifty goals in 2024 and the other who kicked fifty goals in 2023. We need a decent ruckman, some midfielders and hopefully develop or draft a key positional defender before our all australian champ retires.
The question should be whether your team needs a Waterman or Allen to make the finals or even a grannie.

The West Coast tall forwards thread featuring Kossie Pickett.
started by purple suits comment.I thought WC needed everything, midfielders are just the most important position on the field.
Didn't like the answer given.
Please Freo use up a couple of first round picks on Pickett and lots of salary cap for him.

It takes to, to have a conversation and you lot filled your boots with it. You guys genuinely suck you are lucky that Waterman has improved and Allen is decent.

Can definitely see Melbourne playing hardball if Freo have a good season as expected.
 
It's not like a west coast player hasn't hit an opposition player before
Gaff cough cough
OMG

Could you come up with a worse example.

Gaff....the serial head hunter?

A guy who once had a brain snap against an annoying tagger holding him off the ball. Blindly swings to stop him holding and totally stuffs it up and hits him high. In error.

Versus a bloke who thinks polaxing blokes by deliberately running and jumping off the ground to deliberately bump them high is cool. Like his uncle used to.

And Picket has been suspended multiple times doing it and isn't learning nor seems bothered by doing it.

More than happy for him to play for Freo.
 
Saying it's his father makes it appear you are uninformed and a troll particularly making disparaging remarks in a thread about a player you have stated you have no interest in.

Father / uncle.

Picket seems obviously influenced by his family history in being a hard player who isn't afraid to bump and take out opponents.

Is this uniformed and not factual?

Every time he does it the commentators all talk about how tough his uncle was how he used to take out opponents with big bumps.

Fact.

Splitting hairs like you are doesn't make reality disappear mate.
