Not enough being said re Sydney waving around 10 year contracts again lately.

I wonder who ends up biting.

Hopefully Errol will be the first.

 

[Crow till I die]

Join and unwanted club?...so he's coming to the crows then?

What is the deal with Konstantly? Can't get a game? Not fit? Injured?

What is the deal with Konstantly? Can't get a game? Not fit? Injured?

Currently injured for the 3rd time this season. Had a few injuries last season as well.

None of them have been major injuries, but they've broken up his rhythm in the VFL and our forward line is stacked so he hasn't had a chance. Has kicked 14 goals in 14 games in the VFL.

Might be gettable, might sign on for another 2 to give himself an extended shot to get his body right. Apparently he grew up idolising Papley so hopefully that tips him towards staying for another 2 years to see if he can crack it.

Sheldrick is similar this season, some 2-4 week injuries at the wrong time means he hasn't had a clear run all season.

Average at best

 

[madjoe]

If you are WC and you haven't asked about getting sheldrick over you'd need to be sacked. might cost you a 2nd round pick but just looks a lock inside mid.

even a big brain play by WC/freo trade for warner jr in the hope you land chad the year after?

A shame. He looked good in his draft year.

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

I'm amazed Sydney after 2 smashings in 3 grand finals aren't trying to slightly rejig their list. Why not get in early or Warner and aim for a key forward and 2 way mid. It's no good trying to do the same thing again next year

No point trading out Warner when we want to go for the flag next year.

Mills with a full pre-season assists with a good two way midfielder, I also expect Sheldrick to get more games.

McDonald and Amartey will also be better for another pre-season.

Sydney's issues lay with the teams mentality, it wouldn't surprise me if they cannot recover after last year, but you have to back then to try again.

Exactly a couple of changes are needed. The core group has played in both and not fired a shot

Yeah now really isn't the time to stand still. Tough balance between being assertive and damaging your team by going too hard on the fire sale, but I would've liked to see some bargain hunting ala the Roos era or a period like last year when we clearly targeted what the side needed and added some key pieces.

I'd only trade Warner if we were confident he would leave after 2025 though.

 

[Superstar swan]

Given wce draft hand this year, i suspect the club are fairly confident Warner will resign

Warner was a massive part why we got there.

The club has a fundamental problem performing in Grand Finals it wont be solved adding/removing 1-2 players.

Yep exactly, but the drums are beating aren't they, otherwise he would have extended by now I'd think. He's price is at an all time high. Freo had picks as well to do it or get another club involved
