WC had the chance to draft English. They chose Venables. Stiff. No deal.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

In the back of my mind (extreme wishful thinking)....Josh Kelly and Bont are great mates...Kelly renewed for 2 years at the end of last year instead of taking the long term Kangas deal, because he and the Bont have it all worked out. They're going to wait until that Tom Boyd money drops off - and then we'll have room to sign up Kelly and Bont to long term deals and be unstoppable!

Love the wishful thinking Ozza.

Until Marcus is re-signed the pessimist in me sees North using their war chest to make deals that neither Kelly and Marcus can refuse at the end of 2019, for them both to somehow ending up at North.

Not if they blow the money on Gaff and Polec

Goddard surely will land at Freo back with Ross the Boss.

Maybe both of them at Carlton?

That would be brilliant.

When was the last time we were linked/recruited a best 22 player lock from another club? I'm guessing it was Crameri/Suckling( although he was just on the edge of best 22)?

Yesterday. I saw some discussion on BigFooty about trading for Taberner from Freo.

Won't that be good?

No..

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Gaff’s a free agent so WC have no trade currency with him anyway - if he wants to go to North on big coin that’s where he’ll end up.

He's an RFA - I guess the match and get North's first rounder considering they have Thomas to bid for at the draft anyway.

I know Trengove was playing in the seconds at Port but he was best 22 and Port threw the tots out of the cot when they found out he had committed to us, I hope Port are pleased with the stance they took because it cost them the elimination final last year, if Trengove had of played they would have beaten West Coast. And was Crozier playing seniors at Freo wasn't he?

To be fair, a lot of question marks were hanging over those guys after their first few weeks with us, but they've got better and better as the year has gone on.

Particularly Crozier, he's been excellent. Trengove is a bit of a junk yard dog that tries his guts out, but Crozier can seriously play.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Crozier very under rated and probably bought up in a development that didn’t suit him.
He is an extremely good player who our recruiters wanted in front of Clay Smith but Macca over ruled.
Watch him over the next few years could be one of our best.

Not unless you regret a premiership
