If that’s the case, we’ll be uncompetitive for at least the next 10 years guaranteedWe could be looking at a rebuild where 80-90% of our current list is not on the team in 3-5 years.
Should have retired before MSD they would have known he was cooked, Griggs did it to get Pickett in 19 some of our leaders are selfish and our culture sucksHas he retired yet tho? they announced his year is over, but he hasnt actually retired.
It's hard to believe that after living through the Tarrant (1 year too many) situation, they legit did it again a year later with Grimes. If the club was mainly giving him the extra year to reward his career, they should have retired him, with pay back in round 4-5. Some of the obvious calls they have fked up of late, and all the small gains we have missed from them are adding up
What a crap comment. Grimes is a great of our club and deserves to retire on his terms. We already had four picks and only used two. The only thing that sucks is you as a supporter !Should have retired before MSD they would have known he was cooked, Griggs did it to get Pickett in 19 some of our leaders are selfish and our culture sucks
I still wonder why the club didn’t announce the Grimes retirement earlier. Everyone knew he’d struggle to play again this year and that was evident with him not being listed on the injury list for multiple weeks prior to the retirement.
We could have listed Davidson on a 6 month contract and then made the decision at the end of the year. Looks like now tho, with his constant rise we will be fighting multiple teams to get him and may have to use a higher pick than initially thought.
We had a spare spot without having to retire Grimes. 3 x ACLs (Young, Gibcus, Naismith) = 3 list spots.Should have retired before MSD they would have known he was cooked, Griggs did it to get Pickett in 19 some of our leaders are selfish and our culture sucks
Nope.Herald Sun reporting that rival recruiters believe we are zeroing in on Josh Smilie
Would you trade our 2025 first if it allowed us to get Smilie and FOS at 1 and 2, pie in the sky stuff but maybe north like ludowyke?
Based on recent mocks, its a safe guess, and that is all it is IMO.Herald Sun reporting that rival recruiters believe we are zeroing in on Josh Smilie

Wonder if they are waiting for Martin to make his decision and then possibly have a celebration in the final round when we play the Suns similar to how they did the Jack & Trent retirements.I was wondering the same, could it be they are desperately trying to get him a farewell game and saving the announcement for that?
I think we’ll have a strong enough hand in this years draft, we are much better to keep that pick up our sleeve, there’s been some very impressive under-age kids in this year’s nationals.Herald Sun reporting that rival recruiters believe we are zeroing in on Josh Smilie

No current season stats available
I called it month or more ago, WC would fall apart. Since then though, we dont look like winning a game so it really is a race to the bottom.Kangaroos rising with a bullet LOL, lets see where they are in 3 weeks after they play Sydney, Carlton and Geelong before that clash with us.
Somethings telling me we're finishing 17th. Loser of NM and WCE will finish last IMO.
Spot on. It just sucks big time because it's a Rioli though. Unless Port or Pies die in the ass we won't get value for Shai anyway and we need more forwards not less.I have been a blunt NO on trading DRioli, but if it came down to having to let one go, its Rioli over Shai for mine. Yes, I have changed my mind, but Smith comes in and takes his spot from day1. Its much easier to replace a HB, albeit gun and spiritual leader nearly 28, than one of the most damaging mid/fwds in the game.
We would still land approx pick 10 and 22.
Baker leave for a teens pick - Freo or 2 x 2nd rounders - WC
Would give us picks 1, 10 and a teens pick.
Shai is a must keep unless we get crazy overs IMO.
Yeah we don't but we will win at least one and that's going to be enough for 17th.I called it month or more ago, WC would fall apart. Since then though, we dont look like winning a game so it really is a race to the bottom.
yeah I will be genuinely sad if he leaves, but if one goes, I think thats our best bet.Spot on. It just sucks big time because it's a Rioli though. Unless Port or Pies die in the ass we won't get value for Shai anyway and we need more forwards not less.
Saw that Code Sports article saying pick 20 will become 28-30. I'm only seeing 2 certainties (Ashcroft & Lombard), 1 probably (Marshall), 1 maybe ( BCampo) and 1 unlikely (Welsh) to get bid on in the first round. Worst case its 25. And it's pick 20 of the available players regardless.
Having said that, it's really going to come down to who wants to leave.
I agree, but maybe they will also. Norf will pants us, their midfield speed will trouble us big time.Yeah we don't but we will win at least one and that's going to be enough for 17th.
Yeah you could see WC willing to trade next year if they climb to say 12th/13th on the ladder.yeah I will be genuinely sad if he left, but if one goes, I think thats our best bet.
Shais value certainly wont lessen in 12 months should things change anyway, where as Riolis will.
Does it really matter though, if the club has two kids in the gun then 17th or 18th won't matter will it. It's only going to matter if the club has it's sights set on one kid and one kid only.I agree, but maybe they will also. Norf will pants us, their midfield speed will trouble us big time.
Id rather we have the choice.Does it really matter though, if the club has two kids in the gun then 17th or 18th won't matter will it. It's only going to matter if the club has it's sights set on one kid and one kid only.
Not to mention Freo could get crafty and trade into next year. We want Warner to resign asap.Yeah you could see WC willing to trade next year if they climb to say 12th/13th on the ladder.
And if we are bottom 2 again we might be inclined to trade especially if we've brought a guy like Kako in this year.
I'd rather we don't win the spoon but don't think we will get a choice. We areId rather we have the choice.
yeah I certainly thought we would win a few junk games late, but that has dwindled now.I'd rather we don't win the spoon but don't think we will get a choice. We are![]()
It will be what it ends up being. 16th, 17th or 18th ain't gonna bother me.Id rather we have the choice.
