It makes no sense and it’s such a strange hill for you to die on.

If we have decided trew isn’t afl quality pick another inside mid aged 20-22 playing well in mens footy and give them a crack. It’s really not that complex.

I disagree, makes complete sense to me. It was last minute, if we wanted a good WAFL player Trew is as good as any. Im sure if we knew we werent getting Dev a month earlier we may have had the chance to find another depth inside mid.

Its really not that complex

No you're right it doesn't and he's definitely not a part of the future but it's just weird we've essentially wasted a list spot for zero gain

It could easily be argued an extra pick in the rookie draft is also wasting a pick, while providing 0 benefit in the meantime. At least Trew can hold his own in the WAFL to help the beagles be competitive if nothing else. An 18 year old rookie cant do that

Didn’t you spend two days railing against the Hutchinson pick because the MSD is a lottery so we should have taken a lesser rated player who played a different position?

I mean if anyone could feel aggrieved about limited opportunity from talent it's wooden.

Guy was a class footballer but behind the like of Judd cousins and kerr and embley and only played 96 games for us.

I would've had him in ahead of Rowan Jones.

Maybe on talent alone, but wash your mouth out about having him in at the expense of RoJo

Rowan Jones - Judd's ultimate wingman

Haha I agree with all that.
Just making a point about trew.
People carrying on like he's this super AFL talent not getting a game because simmo and the mc are evil incarnate.

Every time I saw Trew get the ball he was either smashed or struggle to get the ball out with any meaningful accuracy.

But we are not obligated to draft an 18 year old rookie? What are you struggling to understand about this. You are the one making it complex for no reason. There is zero reason to keep someone on the list purely for injury cover when we are in rebuild mode.

There are plenty of other young inside mids playing in senior comps across Australia. Why not give someone else a try?

 

[Hoskin300]

And I stand by that. Never once made a judgement on his talent but now we have seven guys competing for two positions in the team when we have very bleak prospects in other positions.

Why is this relevant?

Yeo and Culley seem to have fared better than expected off injuries. Reid has come on significantly better than expected holding down one of the main midfield spots. Ginbey and Kelly are in there too. Sheed played as well as or better than trew in the WAFL, and he can play something other than inside mid.
Thats 6 names who are clearly ahead of Trew

Well you can cross Sheed off for starters - that’s five.

Kelly isn’t really an inside midfielder so that’s four.

Culley has played about 10 games and is no certainty to make it with serious questions about his pace that’s three.

Ginbey is developing well but doesn’t play inside mid a lot of the time.

Reid although he’s only played 11 games is about the best.

Yeo when he’s on the park is good but he’s injury plagued and injury prone, and misses as often as he plays.

When your list is deconstructed there isn’t much. Running on a rubber band and fencing wire.

Changes are done

It’s game day bitches, get up

Game Day - Round 13, 2024 : West Coast v North Melbourne

Whilst it might be absurd to say a home game against the bottom side who haven’t yet won a game is our most important game of the year, today’s game is our most important game of the year When the fixture was first released the R13 matchup at home against North loomed large as not only a...
