But yet they chose Gabba to host gf making less profit than in Adelaide and Perth?

Trade McGovern or Barrass

Before Schofield announced his retirement (12 months premature in my opinion) I would've been happy to see Barrass moved on, if he was happy to go.
He's been a really hot and cold footballer the last 2 years. in 2019 I assumed the lack of preseason was the issue but in 2020 the malaise has continued. For a Fullback, that's alarm bells. It's Defcon 5. Hot and cold is something I can live with for a small forward, to a certain extent, but not a KPD, no way. It costs you goals and it costs you games, sometimes big games.
But the fact is Schoey is no more and we can't afford to lose another KPD. Our coaches need to work with Barrass over summer because he needs to re-assess his game.

Barrass has been so high on himself the last 2 seasons. He not only drank his own bathwater, he distilled it into a type of vodka and got absolutely hammered on the stuff 
Someone ought to find that Harry Highpants pic he thought was hilarious and roast him over it like the jackass he is.

We should've given Edwards in a few games just to see how capable of playing a true KPD role, the fact that he's only played less than half a game makes me very nervous that he's basically the 3rd choice KPD apart from fill-ins like JW, Allen, Rotham or Yeo.

Can't play all the games at Optus lol. No way the clubs would've agreed to play games at the WAFL grounds.

But that would be acquiescing to stakeholder that publicly bashed them from pillar to post all year and put unnecessary obstacles in the way.
Like Ryan Daniels said in his article a week or so back, given what was happening behind the scenes it is a wonder there were any games in WA at all this year.

Gov played so its a fair comment but he was coming back from injury & that hand is not right.
Getting rid of AAs is fine, but if its for draft picks its total rebuild stuff. Are you suggesting Rotham could hold down a key tall spot in 2021?
Not for me.
If eh?? what?
The mids to be looked at more than the god damn key defenders...our mids are getting old, dude..
& there is no depth - cant see any of the younger guys stepping up bar Duggan. That needs to be seen in the light of Willkie Rioli & Dan Venables both going missing.

I was laughing when they called McGovern the best defender of the last 10 years on the telecast
Best intercept defender yes, but not best defender overall
Best intercept defender yes, but not best defender overall
Leaving Schofield out of the side cost us big time. He is (was) clearly our best lockdown tall defender. When Barrass is asked to be accountable against an opposition tall forward he almost always struggles. It wasn't just that fast start by that yank either. He cost us another goal late in the game when he missed a routine spoil that got out the back of a contest. Basic error.

Hence trade a KPD which WC have 2 of - essentially Barrass and McGovern are the same player to get a big inside mid

As I said trade one of them (either is fine) for a mid (not a draft pick) as having 2 intercept tall defenders means they play too attacking. Having 1 is ok but not 2 as that leaves the team defensively weak.
Such as?

Brayshaw from Melbourne, Cripps from Carlton, Dunkley from Bulldogs
Are they realistic targets? Cripps will be for 2022, not now. Be happy to load up to get him.

I don't know but you got to ask the question and be willing to offer one of them. Dunkley especially, Bulldogs need KPP and have an abundance of mids so I'm sure they would let him go for a KPP - either Barrass or McGovern
The trend of picking 200 centimeter plus full towards, like Cox and the King brothers, etc, means we need to fast track Edwards for that defensive role in 2021.
