AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Pick #19, Katie, under the father/son rule. I think we got #21 in return... so yeah, we got massively screwed. Paying more under the f/s rule for a player than you get in return is abominable, especially when he then goes and wins them a flag (indirectly, granted).
I stand by my statement that Reid won't be involved in the trade... Dawes might though. Anyway, generally speaking, this is a quality post. I think the sane ones amongst us agree that the deal will fall somewhere in the grey area beyond pick #14, if indeed it goes through, and we'll all be interested to see exactly where.
That sucks.
He could definitely play. As has been mentioned in various parts, it obviously wasn't based purely on talent. *sigh*On your first question; probably not, because he hasn't shown anything at AFL level as yet. On your second question; I don't know because it's at least half gibberish and shows almost complete disregard for the gentle art of punctuation.
No probs.
I have been reading this forum for a while now and for what its worth I have decided to put my 2 bob in. Firstly as one of the most succesful clubs off the field I believe we need to grow some balls in trade week if we are serious about winning another premiership. We have won 13 flags in our first 66 years as a footy club and 1(ONE) in our last 51 years as a footy club, now i am not a scientist or a NASA employee but this is sickening. We are becoming the laughing stock of the AFL we have the best facilities and off field people brains/skills(best coaching & business staff) but yet seem to fail to be able to win the battles that count. I am sick and tired of watching other clubs being so succesful and yet we kid ourselves year in year out that this is going to be our year only to be left dissapointed by September . We have seen how succesful a club can be by being aggressive in trade week eg Geelong,Brisbane,Sydney,St.Kilda(even thou they lost the granny) throu trading for some experienced players while your so called premiership window is open. I believe that IF we had got Lockett or Gehrig or Judd etc we would have come alot closer to winning that 15thw premiership title we have all been craving for. We need to look at our list from the oppositions point of view for example Geelong! how many of our players would get into their first 22? whatever the number is the rest should be up for trade bait and thats were our selling skills come into it and get the deals done. We need start taking some risks on the opportunities that come up during trade week last year it was Judd, King, Warnock, ROK etc this year its Fev, Jolly, Ball, Berg,Lake all players i think can improve our team or shall i say we are crying out for! Which brings me to my next point. I think pick 14 and maybe something else is enough to get Fev. We need to trade some of our B players that other clubs are crying out for whether its Leon or Meds or Goldsack or Fraser or Dawes or Brown or Ried or Toovey or Presti or Tarkyn etc for a lower pick/s for Jolly/Ball/Berg/Lake there are teams out there that surely can want what we have Freo/WestC need small forward we have heaps that can play that position Leon/Meds/Thomas/Dick/Mac etc Richmond & Melbourne are rebuilding surely they can find something from our B class list which are still young and so on. Anyway it is soon Monday and like everyear i cannot wait for trade week to beggin hoping we land that bigfish or 2 , I just hope that it is not another dissapointing week for us, we seem to always get screwed in trade week than us doing the screwing for once eg Davis,Shaw,Mal Michael etc for nothing. And us getting Bryan,Corrie,Leroy etc
