Stop reading those murdoch media crap, they are speculative pieces to get attention.

What the **** are you on about? Hutchison has been mentioned all across the media landscape as a potential high-ish pick in the MSD.

Craig Hutchinson?.. where do we play him, apart from the running the Arden Street kiosk?..

 

[Merlin007]

I know he is your mate but the list is a bit s**t Merlins.

Oh, bit a harsh, I'm not going out of my way to upset anyone (I hope).

I just think the argument that Brady is the source of our list woes is a little overdone; the greatest hole in our list is quality 26-28 year olds. At the 'younger end' of that range (ie) 26, it suggests we need to look at the 2016-17 drafts, and at the 'older end' (ie 28), we need to look at the 2014-15 drafts.

what took 8-9 years to drive into a hole will take Brady a bit longer to retrieve than the time he's had thus far

His poor decisions weren't his fault/were.made collectively

I won't disagree on the drafting failures prior to BR's arrival.

He's been here since 2019. He was a senior part of the team that made list management decisions in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. To still be saying the list woes are somebody else's fault is a massive cop-out.

Typical, we're looking for AFL prospects in the West End.

Next stop Broadway?

With how soft we are, we need an injection of East End brawlers….

At least in the shittest Laidley days you were confident if things went to Donnybrook rules we had a few guys who could at least have a go.

 

[giantroo]

J.Blight confirmed on radio that we have not spoken with him.

 

[The Big O]

Philips also not nominating. Removing my ITK codpiece immediately.

Welcome Jacob.

The old Will Phillips smoke and mirrors trick.

It's only because Jacob won't take our calls....

Think you mean Thursfield if you are going to direct your anger at someone actually in charge of recruiting FFS.

 

[muttley45]

Michael Barlow was coaching VFL last year, surely he can offer a few suggestions that are worth consideration

Jacob "Sorry this is Jacob Blight the highly paid security consultant, I've texted you me(sic) pic"

Brady "Oh ok, weird I got your number from Peel?"

Jacob "What's Peel?"

Brady "So this isn't the Jacob Blight from Peel Thunder, nominated for the midseason draft, been playing centre half forward?"

Jacob "Centre half back you flog. No wonder you blokes are so shit"

Silence

Jacob "Sorry I was yelling at my cat. I've got to go have more security consultating to do"

Holy crapola!!.. someone call 000 and get the cops to do a welfare check on Nostrils asap..

 

[Bren]

Who's the best small tackling forward that's nominated?

 

[shinboner magic]

Good
We have enough kpd that are of vfl level

 

[chubbspeterson]

Sounds like it will be a key forward. Viney said key forward first in his list of needs.
Then Clarko mentions not having support for Larkey with CCJ injury.
But we don't always do the predictable thing. Nobody knew we were taking Hansen Jnr until the final stages.

 

[DunderHead]

Good

Not sure how good those key forward prospects look either.

Think we should bring in older guys that are hungry, resilient and ready to go.

There seem to be a few small forwards that fall within that category. Maybe some big body midfielders and a big ruck/forward.

 

[Nate1993]

There is a bloke I called last year who was playing in the sticks and has since made the move to the SANFL and is tearing it up. Luke McKay, he is a mid (cue the oh we don't need another mid complaints) but he is a very mature body, run all day player, tackles hard, and hits the scoreboard with a probing kick.

We aren't getting the next AFL premiership player from this draft, but we could get someone to physically support the boys who are already in there.

First game for WWT Eagles he had 5 goals from 20 plus disposals

 

[ChairmanZia]

What the heck are you on about? Hutchison has been mentioned all across the media landscape as a potential high-ish pick in the MSD.

Exactly, he's this 190cm fwd that won't help us at all as we have like 5 including zurhaar like him.

We either get blight or some big bodied mid who could compete right away.
