The dogs still have interest in Ginnivan.

Ginny Marra Watson
Weightman Naughton Lobb

Geez, not a bad looking 6 if our forwards don't kill each other jumping for the ball

 

[Mojorisin]

We’re preparing for 2024 tactics, where we have a team full of forwards and all our mids are ageing rapidly.

Went from a forwardline full of mids now heading for a midfield full of forwards

 

[VitalDread]

Have said it with Croft a few times, he’s about six years younger than Naughton and eight years younger than English.

Lobb, Keath and Jones will all probably be finished within two years too.

There’s always a need for quality talls.

I'm a strong believer of always taking the tall
every draft is a "generational midfield" corp

 

[ScragCity]

I absolutely love the trade. The club has clearly identified a couple of players at the top end of the draft who they think will be impact players for us. Not sure why people are taking the doom and gloom approach.

It’s bloody exciting at the thought of bringing in an elite draft pick. We haven’t had the chance to do that since Bailey Smith 6 years ago!

Are you forgetting the picks 1 and 2 that we drafted since then?

This is spot on. I don't get why some would be happy to overlook or not match any bids on Croft. Tall kid who can play both ends that will hopefully play as many if not more games with us that his old man.
He will come on by the time our older blokes will be done.

And we go into 2024 with Bont our youngest committed mid at 28

Lachie Schultz requesting a trade to Collingwood, damn he would have been perfect for us.

Schultz going Pies so can see Ginnivan looking elsewhere now.

What would Pies expect back?

Ginnivan replacement?

 

[weltschmerz]

All we’ve got to trade for Ginnivan is a future third and a few late picks, I don’t imagine we can offer enough

 

[Dogs Rule]

The dogs still have interest in Ginnivan.

Well, well, well. Guess it just depends if the Pies think he's surplus. With Schultz requesting a trade, I would suggest now is our time to pounce.

Next to nothing, they want him out

 

[Dazb86]

For those that have watched Croft is it possible he'd work in the backline?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

You’d say for us to do this deal the risk of a bid coming for Croft before our first was definitely considerable.

It makes it our pick 10 (Croft) and then we’d have 17. In such a scenario I’d happily pair 17 with F1 for a top end player in this draft

I agree logically, but the confusing part of this is that we actually can't match a bid inside the top 10 currently. Sweet out of course, but then Coffield & maybe Harmes in - so without some more trading, it's hard to see how we get the points.

 

[weltschmerz]

Yeah, likely

 

[Foxman98]

Ginnigoat Flea Wizard

LIGHTWORK!

 

[weltschmerz]

Croft just came 4th in the 2km time trial at the combine

 

[Golden_6]

Freo are in all sorts. How many best 22 players have walked out recently? It would have to be 5-6 over the last two seasons alone. All in their primes too.

 

[adogsfan5]

Freo are in no mans land

 

[doggy_dog]

This makes sense after the Schultz news

 

[Testekill]

For those that have watched Croft is it possible he'd work in the backline?

He has played some junior football in defence IIRC.

 

[dergert]

Peter Bell will hold Schultz to his contract surely.

 

[dergert]

He was switched forward though... I wonder the reason

 

[Cudi]

Craig McCrae's line about him after the premiership win was ominous.

 

[Golden_6]

Yuck hope Collingwood keep him

I'm well off the Ginny train if our target at 4 is Watson. I'd much rather just run/develop West/Jones/Clarke on a half forward flank to compliment Watson & Weightman as the smalls.
