Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status

After you have clicked on the "quote bubble +" press the 'reply to thread' button on the bottom left and all the quotes will appear in a window at the bottom of the page.

But it wasn’t necessary for me to quote the full set of comments in the sequence that contained mine.

I was simply saying that my comment

From a google search:

ADELAIDE teenager Lewis Young has been dubbed a 200-game player in the making by one of the game's greats after sending the footy world into overdrive with a sparkling AFL debut for the Western

... and now he can’t get a game ...

was a logical follow-on from the comment that ....Happy Days .... posted

Young looks like a million bucks but he hasn't shown anything in the AFL for 2 seasons. I like his upside but his flaws are of the type that are potentially not fixable (the ability to read the game being his most severe limitation).

and therefore I couldn’t understand his criticism

Are you a CrocMedia(tm) sleeper cell?

Dunkley and Daniel literally re-signed today and somehow this thread can't even be good news.

If this has worked l will depart with a Thank You !

I'd find it hard not to believe that the SA list managers have been whispering in his ear about the opportunities and games he'd be getting if he requested a trade.

At either SA club he'd be getting zero games. They're both stocked for tall talent.

Lewie is one month older than Lachie, bit of perspective as Lachie is a rookie who completed half a pre-season and Lewis is 3 inches taller and has a lot of development required.

I’d sign him right now. I’d Have done it already. But I can see how oppo clubs would makes all sorts promises to convince him to leave.

Would be great news! Tim has had challenges this year with the ruck responsibility but he is a player who is a working progress and who we need to persist with.

Imagine a 25 year old English. That's Grundy's age now and if English gets close to that level our mids will be unstoppable. English's disposal is the best I've seen from a 200cm+ player.

Agree. Very very few clangers. A special talent.

Power doing a great job.

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status

Matt Suckling is a free agent at years end even though he hasn’t been at our club for 6+ years. The rule was changed during the latest CBA negotiations.

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status

Bit of a segue but I'm glad that rule changed. Free agency should be about number of years in the competition, not number of years at a club.

Amazing news. Knew Freo was keen, but had no idea there was “an offer”

Feel like this is the only right & decent outcome. We’ve invested a LOT into English. To the point where I reckon playing him, as opposed to a more mature ruckman, has cost us games.

Our tendency to fade out of games or become dominated in patches of the game stems largely from the investment we’re putting into him. Obviously that investment is made on the expectation that it’s paid back in time. I reckon he’ll be one of the top four ruckmen in the game within 2-3 years and we’ll hopefully be at the very pointy end at that time. He’s got all the tools and seems a decent guy, too.

Going by BT's opening thread this is who we have left for 2019 to contract or not. I've included 3 from the 2020 group that I would be trying to secure ahead of the remaining 2019 group.
