Taranto and Hopper?

Makes me feel like dancing

 

[King Kong]

Is this confirmation that Matty Clarke is not very good with picking early talent? We are about to trade out of the next 2 drafts

 

[checkside]

No worries Checkside. We will agree to completely disagree.

And we can do that without arguing, that’s something new around here lately haha.

Not sure if stacky has the desire to make it. But if he can get that, he’ll be great. Don’t think he has much value to other clubs with them all passing him up in his draft and him not doing much but proving what they were all worried about since.

This news is enough to give a jelly fish a hard on.

Amazing stuff.

Why has he played only 7 games this season ?.

 

[daniel30]

Brodders up there with Diesel when it comes to handballing prowess, Gale instrumental in getting his younger bro up to scratch and a better than average footballer. Dundas only a fleeting career but not bad for steak knives. Overall a steal & I had huge respect for Hogg, unfortunately his back was shot when we cut that deal.

I loved Dundas booming left kick was good at us.

 

[daniel30]

Highlights anyone. We've got a beauty

Can kick a goal.

 

[Sintiger]

well well.. knock me down with a feather.
Just catching up on the news. I was Wrong.

such an interesting time, I also heard something about how Cornes criticised us big time today for whinging or something.
Geez he is hilarious.

Didn’t Karen also criticise the Prestia deal in 2016 because we were nowhere near a flag

Had knee surgery after round 1. Didn’t play again til round 18.

 

[Sintiger]

Couldn’t disagree more. First of all that anyone would trade anything of value for him, and that he doesn’t have value to us.

If Stack doesn’t make it with us, he won’t make it with another club straight away. He could do a stengle and spend a year out of the system to prove himself and make it then.

Yes baker and Rioli are ahead of him for a smaller back role, but mansell doesn’t even come close to what stack offers and brown is a completely different role.

Yep. No one is going to trade for stacky.

If he isn’t contracted by us best he could hope for is a rookie spot but more likely clubs will wait to see if he behaved himself and maybe pick him up in the mid year draft next year.

I love Sydney but he is damaged goods

 

[Redford]

Had two knee surgeries. One in the off season and another in-season after round 1.

 

[craig]

What we really need now to twist the knife is to go and get Griggs back.

Covid upended everything. Maybe we made a call that given our list profile better to dump picks and get some known quantities in. Seems a logical play to me although ambitious. Loving the ruthless nature of it.

Trade awareness

Exactly. Every club knew his talent, but wouldn’t take the risk. That’s how we got him in the first place. If anything now he has almost proved them right, he’s shown his talent again but has also shown why clubs were worried about him.

No club will trade for him, especially the WA clubs like people are floating.

He probably did, but he was far from Robinson Crusoe on that.

Syd will be a Tiger next year and it will be his last chance.

 

[checkside]

Syd will be a Tiger next year and it will be his last chance.

Agreed. And If he doesn’t make it, he won’t play AFL in 2024.

Dont agree.
WCE may lose Junior Rioli and have an old list. I can see a late round pick for Syd happening. Or to Freo, Meek to WCE as part of the GWS package for JH&TT
