And some good kids in their midfield too. With Neale in there, they could've been really competitive.

I still don't rate Lobb though. He's not a ruckman and not a great forward.

I think Lobb is a decent forward, it was a bit crowded with the goal kicking power that GWS had, I reckon it's a good fit for both parties, having Matt Taberner as their only target was never going to see them post winning totals.
Cam McCarthy down there as well with Hogan gives them a bit.

Midfield with Fyfe and Mindy is a good start. The Hill brothers are good outside players but christ they can go missing. I think the midfield is a bit shallow and Mindy isn't getting any younger. However they do have some good you kids coming through as you said. Cerra and Brayshaw will be good players.

It will all depend on how they are coached. Current Freo gameplan is a yawn fest.

Usually when a player asks for a trade on compassionate grounds the two clubs involved make it happen one way or another. Beams, twice now, and I'm ok with that.

Makes me wonder if Kelly was prepared to go to Fremantle would a deal have been done there?


What pisses me off is both Beams and Kelly did not want to return home as such, more so wanted to go to a certain club, I love that the Cats dug their heels in and made him play his contract.

If he really wanted to go home that bad, he would have taken the Freo deal, I wish Brisbane started dealing with other Melbourne clubs on the Beams deal to test him out also.

Funny mob at North...
They will probably trade picks for something higher

They've got a couple father son selections they can go after in Crocker and Scott, so are accumulating draft points for these I'd say

Plus an academy player in Thomas who is better than the F/S picks. They did pretty well during trade week


Spot on, these guys are Top 30 talent so they will brought onto our list after we used our picks on some mature outside run. Good balance IMO.

Although we need a backup ruckman!!!! what are we doing Spargo? Mature aged ruck somewhere?

Crystal Balling for next season is reasonably pointless until the fixture is released. Port are going to have a seemingly "softer draw" after missing finals the year after making them. Conversely, Collingwood will have a tougher fixture compared to the armchair ride they had this year.

Was mentioned late in the season, whilst commentators were discussing Preuss that the Roos also had another highly promising young ruck prospect in their ranks .. Is this not so?

Yep, thought Geelong were being a bit harsh initially but now I respect their decision. It's a cruel industry at times but they all get well compensated for it.

It's not like Geelong have ever got players in on compassionate grounds...

This is what I said earlier about his move to WA.

In the end we were not that upset not to get him when Gaff was staying.

He would be handy. But I'm happy to go to the draft with picks 20 and 22.

Tristan Xerri (fear not Dutchy).
201 cm, 19 years old. Played VFL this year & was impressive. Around mid-season the club extended his contract until the end of 2020.
This is the bloke they’ve earmarked to eventually take over from Goldy.

Unless he drops the bundle in the middle of 2019 and they get no return from him at all.
