We were in the bottom 4 for ball speed across the ground in 2023, so Bramble had an obvious upside to the team - for free - for one year. Much lower risk vs higher reward.There was nothing much in Lachlan Brambles career to suggest that he was going to cement his position in the side from Round 1.
4 years for O'Halloran doesn't seem like much of a stretch in an era of exponential player salaries and contracts lengths. One things for certain, we need to increase the quality of our midfield depth and O'Halloran if nothing else, is good enough to do that.

Xav may be good, but I think the angst is how much upside he presents vs draft pick cost vs contract length.
He's not comparable to Bramble given a number of factors.
All our info is on a knee-to-know basis, sorry Hanners.Dan Hannebery was having a sook about it
Bang, bang.
O'Halloran would provide a direct and immediate upgrade to McNeil and Vandermeer, a player that people have understood are relatively weak players but necessary in the team because the remainder of the list doesn't have their hard running and/or pressure skillsets.
Now people are worried about an additional year, the difference between a second and third round draft pick.
Okay, say we keep the second round pick. Say we keep the salary cap room.
Then what?
People would be clamouring for a way to upgrade Vandermeer and McNeil.
I'm not disagreeing that it may be an overpay for O'Halloran in a netural context. There are better hard-running half-forward flankers in the league. On average, we may draft a better second round pick.
But the context matters - draft assets are only valuable insofar as they ultimately upgrade the team and lead to wins. We don't win more games by having a better draft hand, we win more games by having a better team on the park directly and immediately, of which one way is through drafting players.
People are way too concerned about "winning" trade week in an abstract sense than looking at the team that we will put on the park Round 1 next year and seeing how we can improve that as a first priority.
He comparable from the point off view that he has been identified as filling a need. Where they actually differ is one played regular football in a stacked midfield with a premiership contender and the other is Lachlan Bramble.We were in the bottom 4 for ball speed across the ground in 2023, so Bramble had an obvious upside to the team - for free - for one year.

Agree on the most part, but as a club we could definitely work with the media more and there's times we could use them to our advantage.Ha, trade Radio sooking that he gives nothing.
Keep it up Sam, it's not your job to give the nuffies something to talk about.

He played mostly wing in 2024. I suspect that'll be his role moving forward.Hi all - a player I am intrigued by is Bailey Williams. In 2024 it seems he was regularly switched between HBF and a wing role. Is he likely to settle into a fixed-role in 2025, or will he continue to be a utility?
We aren't sending him to the draft, nor do we need to. Geelong will cough up their first plus something. The draft threat is hollow. Geelong also know they courted him and have to pay something fair (not "bulldog's supporter fair") otherwise future players won't want to nominate them.For all the posturing around Baz I think the absolute most important thing we should be doing is getting ourselves a pick in the draft ahead of Geelong’s pick.
Gives us back all the leverage as far as walking him to the draft and forces them to pay up. Not sure exactly what it would look like but we should be moving heaven and earth to make it happen.
Geelong acted like dickheads in the Tim Kelly trade and also Ratagulea.We aren't sending him to the draft, nor do we need to. Geelong will cough up their first plus something.

SP clearly stated an hour ago that Saints are yet to talk to us regarding Macrae or make any offer at all, yet we are supposedly already driving a hard bargain?"
Dogs driving a hard bargain on a long term stalwart of their club after having them in the VFL and as sub speaks volumes.
Sam Power going on about how he's contracted for 3 more years etc. That's all well and good but why wouldn't you let him go if he's gonna be played out of position or VFL/Sub.
Terrible club"
I love the Saints board. Having a good old melt but happy with the way their club whinged a few days ago before free agency opened up. Also happy with the way they treated Battle

Talk about a victim complex.
Now talking about Power in some weird sexual posts.SP clearly stated an hour ago that Saints are yet to talk to us regarding Macrae or make any offer at all, yet we are supposedly already driving a hard bargain?

That Saints board is a boiling pot of degenerates, I recommend steering clear.
