Then it's a no brainer ,,cya ccj

 

[guruisatiger]

I get the feeling a lesser deal but promise of more game time would still pull it in our favour

Hopefully

Houli retirement announced. There's one small piece of the off season puzzle in place.

You would have to think that around 800k has now been freed up with Dave and Houli moving on. Gives us some wiggle room on current player upgrades or a couple of new guys coming in.

 

[axel2cotch2lids]

We also loved Conca in his draft year, should we get him too?

Do you even watch other games? Brander is terrible.

If you think Brander is terrible you have absolutely no idea what you're looking at

We also loved Jack Steele and Eric Hipwood

Martin, Lynch, Bolton and Baltas deals all going up at the end of the year. We have 2 players over Million dollars and well over a million dollars.

Rekon the club would have factored some of these retirements when backending some of these contracts.

 

[peternorth]

Probably covered already, Talia as a Dave replacement, or addition to a Miller/Balta/Grimes backline

Is he cooked though with the injury's hes had?

 

[axel2cotch2lids]

Brander is not a key defender. Only decent footy he played was on a wing this year before he was injured and spent the rest of the year in the twos. View attachment 1210022

[Dr Tigris]

Dave and Houli gone, a very different back line.

Thanks Tiger71 for your info. There is a lot in play obviously. But I am happy to hear that we are focused on fixed our major weakness, inside mid.

If we lose CCJ and Chol then our KPF stocks are thin. I presume there is a plan to deal with that.

Otherwise we seem to rebuilding the list carefully and with malice aforethought for the competition.

He would definitely help our ball movement and stoppage work. He is rated above average in clearances and contested possessions.

The issue is kpf's are so expensive, unless we hope to draft JVR or Amiss.

That's my thinking as well.

 

[Rioli8217]

That's my thinking as well.

We'd have to hope they fall to us which can be a bit unreliable and unsafe. Plus both are WA boys, who knows if they're going to want to say in WA. Both Freo and WC have picks just after us.

 

[TigerTime17]

I am pretty sure Tiger71 mentioned we are looking at forwards but not the traditional big marking forward like Lynch - we may go back to the days where we had JR and smaller forwards. Perhaps he can update what I have said and correct me if I am wrong.

JR is a bit old unfortunately so we'll still need some kind of athletic kpf (even harder to find).

I think what he meant was we need someone to help Lynch that is mobile - not a true full forward. I took that to mean how we set up in 2017 with JR and smaller forwards. Perhaps Caddy does have a role next year or some players similar. What would I know though. I possibly misconstrued what he meant.

No criticism of you but what kind of hole would Lipinski fill?

We need a midfielder who tackles and wins cp. Maybe Lipinski as a hbf for Houli?

It wouldn't be bad to have a more mobile forward. But my point of them being hard to find still stands. Caddy would probably not be able to read the play as a forward since he's spent two years on a wing now.

do not want. if we thought dave was slow at times, talia made him look like a rocket ship.

Yeah, agree unfortunately. Caddy would have been the one I would think fitted that role in years past. If he can't now, I am wondering if we will even keep Caddy as he doesn't really fit the wing role either too well. Perhaps he is one on the trade table as I reckon he has a lot to offer another team.

Definitely should be traded. He has no real use for us. He's been wasted.

It's a shame that we moved him after a career best year as a forward in 2018 where he kicked somewhere around 50.

 

[Roksman]

If you think Brander is terrible you have absolutely no idea what you're looking at

Failed forward, failed defender, moved to the wing to try find a spot for him, back to the WAFL.

Gun.

We also loved Jack Steele and Eric Hipwood

What's Jack Steele got to do with it? I can be selective too. We also loved Ben Lennon, Reece Conca and Corey Ellis in the draft. I'd rather take exposed AFL form over their form in the juniors 4 years ago.[/QUOTE]
