Re: 2016 Cash Converters - Recycling Pre-Loved Players
Mason Shaw from South Fremantle & previously with Port came 2nd in the WAFL goalkicking.
At 197cm & 23yo going into next year could be worth a look. Any WAFL watchers here?

Hell no, I'd prefer Lawrence Angwin. Clark's time is over, I couldn't think of a club that would take on someone of his character, not even Richmond.

I'm guessing Lawy is under another sort of time based contract. So you might not be able to grab him...
Very, very thin pickings for rucks this trade period.

Telling that Lobbe still can't generate any interest.

Yep, better that we kept our powder dry. And who wants to come to us to be a third string ruckman? Just rookie list the best state league ruck and be done with it.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

I know many people have blind faith in the club's recruiting but I think we dodged a bullet there. Can you imagine giving up even a pick in the top 30 now for Lobbe let alone a 1st round pick that was touted last year?

Who has blind faith in the club's recruiting? If anything, most people are overly critical.
Definite bullet dodged, and not the first by JMac (Lonergan, Greenwood, Dawes off the top of my head).

Gumbleton!
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Lonergan would have definitely been a premiership defender this year and would have added value in my view.

He's still without a contract...

At the mega bucks we were throwing at him, I'm happy he passed. Now we get to call Fletcher Roberts a premiership full back and that is much more fun.

That was my main concern. $2,400,000 over 4 years was huge coin. He's still uncontracted surprisingly, but with Bartel retiring he should get a decent offer now.

Speaking of Giles, where's he being traded to this year?

He was probably worth $450-500K at the time. It was a sign that McCartney thought 2017 and 2018 were the years he could challenge for a decent run at finals.
I'm much more comfortable with how things have worked out, that's for sure.
