And there is a $2m uplift from $15.8 to $17.8WCE have to spend their cap on someone, they surely can't get anywhere near a 90% spend with the spuds and youngsters on their list
Imagine the melts in the media if we get band 1 compo and pick 2.
Not even in the rookie draftIf we were to put Sampson Ryan on the table for one of the Northern clubs, I wonder what sort of pick we would get. Early second rounder?
Surely Matty Clarke would have been told by BlairThe compo for Graham will determine what we get for Baker IMO.
If those dumb campaigners didnt manipulate this situation they dont even deserve Bakes.
thats going to happen regardless, but im much more intrigued watching some new kid develop than some benny hill show of kozi and darling in the forward lineWho would want to waste 24 weekends watching this young side get flogged by 100+ each week?

What do you mean by Lefau and Clarke on the LTI? That wouldn't carry over into the off-season would it given they'd both probably be odds on to be back playing at some level by R1?OUT
Graham
Bolton
Baker
Dan Rioli
Grimes
Martin
Naismith
Pickett
Kmac

thats 12 spots without even making a tough decision
Clarke + Lefau - long term injury list
How many list spots do you reckon you can fill with just 1 draft ? If you take 12+ picks to the draft, you will end up with long-term list cloggers, guaranteed. Its impossible to hit with that many picks, it requires 5 times the recruitment team than we have to do the research to make that work
Quality over quantity!
should trade kozi and ryan for eric hipwoodIf we were to put Sampson Ryan on the table for one of the Northern clubs, I wonder what sort of pick we would get. Early second rounder?
Guess it frees up another list spot, but seems a little...should trade kozi and ryan for eric hipwood
Fair point! Although I think maybe I have misunderstood what point you were making. I thought because you said they will be on an LTI that we'll have more picks available, but I don't believe that's how the system works. As far as I can tell the LTI decision can only take place after the drafts (but before the SPP)Lefau did a ACL in June. it takes 12 months
Clarke did a ACL in mid April. It takes 12 months
Young did a ACL in May. It takes 12 months.
These guys will do sfa for us in 2025. will be lucky to put together 10-15 games between them with 1/3 of those actually being any good
lwhat? we have enough list spots to build a entirely new club once we delist the crap & take in the guys getting traded out & retired. It would be easy to make up to 15 list spots this year, but you need some adults to not ensure it becomes historically bad
Delist Kmac, Cumberland, Coulthard, Collina & around 5 others and replace them with 70% kids +30% ready made "pain sponges" in the roles that we need them. KPF etc
Add to that LeFau & Clarke who will likely start the season on the Long Term Injury List - we need adults and pro's to ensure the kids don't get slaughtered. I can assure you they will not develop well otherwise.
This side will need to sneak a early win otherwise it legit could go O-23 - do we really want that to happen?
Troy Chaplin, Mark Graham etc etc etc. These were the "Jack Darlings" that protected young Cotchin's, Edwards early on from being humiliated each week. People have no memory, i sweat
Well, good luck everybodySee the bit on the right

Freo are doing what they need to do for Freo, which is to undervalue and try and get pressure on the Tigers to take unders. Richmond need to do what they can to do the best for Richmond. Sometimes it means we have to take a stand and be the bad guy.
Bolton's thoughts and feelings don't matter. If he wants to sook it up and play terribly then he will end up forgoing all the incentive bonuses in his contract and loosing a lot of money. He signed the long term deal that was asked of us. He can suck a lemon if he wants us to accommodate him further.
