It was well known that quite a few people including Jon Ralph spoke with Dan Richardson warning him of Yarrans issues with drugs and huge gambling debts. As was told to me by someone who knows Ralphy, he almost begged Dan to abandon the trade.
That’s why Dan was demoted and reported to Balmey.
He also kicked a third of their goals in the 2019 grand final
Had an average year this year due to injury and playing for the giants
Imagine playing on the G every second week in that midfield. Jesus H Christ
And when we were targeting Lynch.Didn’t Karen also criticise the Prestia deal in 2016 because we were nowhere near a flag
Great post t-d-t.
Was somewhat critical last year when we used all our picks on kids rather than trade for mature midfield talent. Clearly a pressing need.
But what would I know! Just another mug punter trying to make sense of long term decisions being made by a brilliantly run club.
Long term planning rather than knee jerk reaction. The difference between sustained success and mediocrity.
Considering our pressing need at the time for a developing forward, taking Jacob Van Rooyen at pick 17 instead of Brown would have made more sense.
Let’s hope Jacob Bauer has JVR covered. And Cumberland coming from absolutely nowhere to fill a very important role has certainly helped our cause but not sure by design.
Whilst I do believe you’re correct that the club had at least one of the GWS players in their sights, we probably got a little lucky that Sonsie was still available and has come on so quickly.
So I still maintain that the pursuit of 2x HBFs and a HFF has me baffled when we needed pure mids and a key forward at the time
Good post, the club can now concentrate on picking the eyes out of the talls in the 2023 & 2024 drafts.
we need these players to support Dion and Trent, our game plan stacks up. dion after half time last Thursday really hurt us.

We may not have much in the way of picks for this, let alone the high picks needed to find an elite KPF, but Harry Himmelberg is an RFA next year. Any other FA prospects?
Harry looks better as an intercept player in my opinion & we have the defence covered, I'd like to see a genuine forward through the gates.
I made the mistake of listening to Barrot on that poxy afl podcast this morning. Starts off with a bitter swipe at the club re dusty and just rants about what a *smile* move it is to recruit these 2. So save yourself the trouble if you are thinking of listening.
Mate, why would you subject yourself to this? I listen to a few footy podcasts but have never even considered listening to the rantings of this AFL paid twit.
Next time you are tempted give yourself an uppercut.

First to third string mid groups:
Hopper Taranto Prestia
Bolton Martin Cotch
Ross Sonsie Graham
Or any combination of the above.
WILD!

For me he is guilty of the biggest sin of all; he's uninteresting (and he's not on his own)
For the experts on here - what is the acceleration and pace of these two guys. Always thought the knock on GWS was they were too 'one paced' and now we have 2 of them. We may need bolton as 100% mid next yr to provide that burst. But is speed a concern at all for these two fellas?
