AFLW 2024 - Round 4 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Hamling went ok. Ditto Tim Callan.Just me, but I don’t want any Cat's steak knives players.
We’ve been burnt so many times by them (apart from Matty Robbins & Bluey Hampshire of course ).
Knevitt would be a 10 % steakknives to add to the other 90 % of whatever picks geelong put up for smith. I dont think anyone was or ever would suggest an actual straight swap.
I mention Clohesy as I'd expect he plays round 1 for us and he's seemingly fringe at the cats. Seems to like the rougher stuff too which we can always use.
Butters was rated late first round while Smith was part of the elite group at the top of the draft. Even talked about as a pick 1 before injury.Butters was overlooked by us in the draft, we took Baz.
Why would he show any loyalty or desire going to a club who didn’t rate him in the first place?
I think what we're getting at here is the attitude from your club and its supporters that we should just bow down and accept what we're given.
VFL hacks aren't going to cut it and neither is a s*** first rounder in its own and yet that's what so many of your supporters and probably your club seem to think is acceptable.
Don't forget Tim Callan and Nathan DjerkeraJust me, but I don’t want any Cat's steak knives players.

Mannagh and Poulter and we chose PoulterAt least we got a guy who could play every week on the wing...right?
Read it and weep.

Unfortunately that team isn’t getting the juices flowing for next season. If we’re running Poulter (last weeks VFL was horrible) and Caleb Daniel, even VDM in ‘best 22’ we’re in strife.Trades/FA:
1. Smith and F3 for Pick 15, Pick 35 and F2
2. Macrae and Pick 32 for Pick 24 and Pick 43
3. Jed Bews as a FA for small defender depth.
4. I'd love Houston but unsure we can convince him. Pick 15 and future picks may be enough for Port though.
5. We have about 10 guys who could retire or be delisted. We desperately need to move on 1 or 2 of those earlier so it's in a stronger draft.
Which would mean:
In: Pick 15, Pick 24, Pick 35, Pick 44, Bews, Late Pick
Out: Smith, Macrae, Keath, Bedendo, O'Driscoll/Rypstra, Clarke (moved to rookie list though), Baker/Cleary/Scott (contract paid out).
2025 team:
FB: Duryea, Jones, Freijah
HB: Dale, Lobb, Bramble
C: Williams, Bont, Poulter (or draftee)
HF: West, Naughton, VDM (or draftee)
FF: Weightman, JUH, Darcy
R: English, Libba, Treloar
Int: Richards, JJ, Daniel/Sanders, Busslinger/Coffield/JOD
Sub: Daniel/Sanders
Emerg: Bews, Busslinger/Coffield/JOD, McNeil
He's a dick. Hope he enjoyed it.Dare say, first thing tomorrow he will ask for a trade to Geelong haha

He won’t be our problem anymoreHe's a dick. Hope he enjoyed it.
Can't wait to see what Geelong offer up as a trade whilst all of this is going on, no doubt a low ball offer whilst they host a player still on our books. I know there's absolutely zero chance of it happening but would love to push him down the preseason draft route as an FU in return.Dare say, first thing tomorrow he will ask for a trade to Geelong haha

Agreed it won't happen but unless a trade includes next years first I'd be having him walk.Can't wait to see what Geelong offer up as a trade whilst all of this is going on, no doubt a low ball offer whilst they host a player still on our books.

And even if that wasn't the case, what's the suggestion that Butters is someone who is vindictive and would continue to have a negative view of our club, as opposed to far more likely view that he sees that the club can rate some talent over others.Butters was rated late first round while Smith was part of the elite group at the top of the draft. Even talked about as a pick 1 before injury.
This board would have melted if we took Butters.
GGF …… what an absolute tool. Even more keen to send the ****head to Richmond.Dare say, first thing tomorrow he will ask for a trade to Geelong haha

I'm sure we'll be seeing similar sentiments from Smith about his time at the BulldogsAgreed it won't happen but unless a trade includes next years first I'd be having him walk.

Knevitts contracted so doubt he'd be willing to go unless he gets more money/years. Clohesy is uncontacted but surely cats are offering him an extension. Doubt either would want to go to dogs who have a stronger midfield than catsFor an opposition view if the cats were willing to throw up anyone its probably either clohesy or knevitt (although both are locals who are close with our other geelong guys they are expendable on field wise). Anyone else you would likely ask for is less likely to be willing to go.
12 and 15 likely net us the same player so I'd rather just stick with 15 and extras.We should just tell Geelong go get us pick 12 from Gold Coast .
Do people think cats first and second rounder would get it over the line for goldcoast ?
Get them to throw clohsey our way as steak knives aswell
We can always just trade down pick 12 on draft day itself. Goodness knows that Essendon will do anothet trade like that to "win" the offseason.12 and 15 likely net us the same player so I'd rather just stick with 15 and extras.
Outlandish suggestion but should we look at what Jamarra might get us?
We are overstocked for KPF's. His accuracy seems like a permanent problem. Seems a bit mentally fragile at times. His value is probably at it's peak in terms of draft picks...
Is it worth trading one of the KPF's out to get a better balance across the whole side?
