Great start to our hate watch season with north going down to a severely undermanned doggies side.
0-1, 21L’s to go.
-
Beat me too it haha.
The death ride thread.
Be hilarious if we won 4ish games and finished 17th just ahead of them.
Last uncompromised draft...if H Reid wants to come home and we have picks 1 + 2 that would be a mightly good offer before Tas comes into the comp IMO.
-
I’m not sure how he is compared to Reid but I think the prospective no.1 pick, Dyson Sharp is highly highly rated in his own right.
-
After watching our 3 first rounders and with Smillie and Hotten to come, i am pretty sure I’d like to have our our picks used by our recruitment rather than west coast using them and us getting harley
-
It all depends on how highly the top 5 of this draft are rated. Harleys clearly a 10/10 prospect but is that better than having 2 x 8-9/10 prospects? I’d rely on the recruitment team to make that call. Don’t think u can go wrong either way.
If you draft 2 high end mids with our picks this year then that’s pretty much our midfield core set with Lalor, Smillie, Hotton & 2 x 2025 first round picks.
-
I'd offer one this year's firsts and a future first, not both - might have to offer up a WA player also, preferably Green or Smith but they'd probably want Blight (as promising as he is I'd give him up for Reid in a heartbeat) :shh
-
Go to the draft with our picks for me.

Reid for a player, one first and a future first and you aren’t biting?
Thank goodness you aren’t running things because that would be the steal of the century

If we have two top 5 picks this year for them and they want a steak knives I'd take the deal and run.
Midfield of Reid, Lalor, Smillie, other guys like Ross, Taranto, Hopper.
Yep. Deal.
-
I’m not so sold on Reid. He doesn’t look fit, would definitely question his commitment

Hmm yes - seem to recall a certain player many said the same thing about during their early years, particularly the third year. :shh

Not sold on a 19yo kid living 4000km from home (a small country town in Victoria)
A kid who doesn’t want to be where he is
Will be a superstar for whichever club brings him home

How can you be so certain? At this point it’s based off potential from a decent rookie season. I haven’t seen enough to sell the farm for him

A first, future first and one mid list player isn’t “selling the farm” lol

I’d expect them to ask for both our firsts this year and our first next year. Given youd expect all those picks to fall within the top5 (not sure if the Tassie concessions start from 2026?) then that is a hell of a draft haul to be trading away. If the later of our 1sts this year, our first next year and any middling player then that’s Defs worth a strong conversation. But yeah, I rekn they’d ask for more.
-
Reckon any actual deal for Reid will involve more than two clubs and will be similar to the JHF trade. :shh
-
Just on Reid, couple fo points
He is contracted to the end of 2026, so can't see WC trading him unless it is for a mega deal for say three 1st round draft picks and perhaps a future 2nd rounder
If he does request a trade he will nominate a club. Not sold he'd nominate us....actually and this is just my opinion I don't reckon we are any chance

Front loaded contract worth millions more over the length of the contract is a pretty handy bargaining chip.
We will have a fortune in available salary cap space. Front loading the deal doesn’t harm where we are heading at all.
If we want to get it done, convincing Harley shouldn’t be a problem. He’s already said he would love to play for a power club with a huge fan base (Collingwood). We tick that box and will have plenty of available coin.
West Coast is the issue. If they want three firsts and a second, ooroo.
-
I wouldn't be paying 3 1sts and a 2nd.
If we get 2x top5 picks this year I'd consider those and a player but after an underwhelming performance this weekend I'd wanna see a heck of a lot more from him this year before offering even that.
-
Reid could play like dogshyte all year but he'll still be an absolute gun and a generational player...anyone says otherwise is just coping... :shh
-
He could well do a Horne Francis to West Coast but I personally don’t like that behaviour
-
He owes them nothing - they didn't draft him out of the goodness of their hearts or after everyone else overlooked him, they had pick one and he was clearly the best player that every other club would've also picked, they also knew he was a Victorian going in, on top of all the talk that he wasn't overly keen on moving interstate and the contract length for first round draft picks is mandated by the AFL, so he had no real say in the matter anyway. :shh
-
Need Melbourne to lift big time
-
Unfortunately they look pretty good, Melbourne are average. Rely on few star players.
-
And Whitlock had a big game for them in the 2s.
-
Just makes trading the pick for Reid even more of a no-brainer. :shh
-
Dees one flag….. during covid, locked up. :lol
-
North look like they are capable of winning 8-10 games . Today’s win might be a turning point for them .

I still have my doubts. Upsets are happening all over early this season, as is the case most seasons.

Not a good day for the hate watch :thumbsdown

Yeah I reckon they're still bottom 4.
Just like us.
An early upset win means SFA.
-
Need Saints, Adelaide, Pies, Dogs and Bombers to win as much as possible.
Eagles and us will be bottom 2. Be wonderful if Roos were 3rd last.
Not the end of the world of we lose this weekend.
-
Norf lost which is good for us but they are admittedly better than previous years. They'll win at least 8 games this year given their draw and finish above us, Eagles, Melb, Ess, Carl and possibly Port on current form. That will still give us another top 10 pick.

Not sure they'll win 8 myself. Hoping for a bottom 4 finish and we end up with say picks 1 & 5 but if there's FA compo that 5 could end up a few later. Definitely going to be a top 10 though you'd think.
