Re: Rate our draft

I've seen Parker a number of times this year and while he has talent it is still a big risk. He had troubled teen years and has only in the last 2 years had any impact at WAFL level. He has potential but not much would have to go wrong off the field for it to all blow up

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....

I've warmed to the idea as I don't think that Bruce is elite nor ever will be. McCartin still has time on his side and if we get any luck, he'll become a genuine gun full forward. If King lives up to the hype then a forward line consisting of Paddy, King, Battle, and Membrey could be a tasty forwar...

Don't get this "depth" thing, we have a list of players and the team finished 16th this year and so called experts want to add more players to the list who are no better than the ones we already have on the list. So what is the point? There isn't one, just like the players we have recruit...

Even a rabble like Fremantle can attract two young up and coming stars and all we get is a burnt out, slow poor by foot midfielder that no one else wanted.

Re: Gold Coast are taking fringe players... Are we actually sending them Mav Weller?

To be fair, Mav was alright there for a while. Poor man's Aaron Hamill with his tackling. Would rather a crocked Mav Weller than Jack Newnes...... that's how low Newnes is in my estimations. If he starts Round 1, we have a serious problem. I have news for you- it wont take Newnes starting in round ...

Re: Hall for Pick 68 // Scrimshaw for a 2019 3rd Rounder

Our list is fine ... we will trade aggressively.... we have delivered “f all” so far .... I wouldn’t say f**k all, Hannebery is still an A-grader, was previously elite but possibly past his best now, hence why we got him relatively cheaply. Kent though, let’s be honest, is just another depth player...

Re: our team with players in best position

Looking at the midfield- all I can see is slow, Steven excepted. Dunstan, Ross, Sinclair, Armo and even Clark. Longer has the speed of slow drying cement. All one-paced runners, and this is why we need to bring in some burst speed in the midfield. Can't see an easy fix to this in the short term. He...

There is absolutely no way Pick 39 gets the job done.. we’re a basket case, will be the future second.

Most of the other clubs have brought in some good players and improved their list. We have added hannerbery and lost Hicky. In effect we have taken a step backwards or at best remain the same.
