@PletsasHellas@DonCaldwelll@JamieODonn57763 Also they train there for a couple years at the club before they get drafted, in that time they build friends and connections with the club and players. Its not as straightforward as someone barcking for a team from childhood.
@PletsasHellas@DonCaldwelll@JamieODonn57763 I would yes, for 2 reasons
1. He didnt state he wont travel
2. He was the clear best prospect in his draft year. He was a step above everyone else.
Father sons are different, they grow up in a club environment (coming to training and game day with their dads)
Also train .. tbc
@PletsasHellas@DonCaldwelll@JamieODonn57763 West Coast will most likely lose Harley in a few years when he hits free agency, so yeah would it delay or derail their rebuild? Most likely.. only time will tell
@PletsasHellas@DonCaldwelll@JamieODonn57763 No one is saying he is 100% guaranteed to walk after 3 years, but the risk that he might is real and for a club like Essondon who are in a painful rebuild, this risk could set them back years if they get it wrong, totally not worth the risk
@PletsasHellas@DonCaldwelll@JamieODonn57763 those die hard fans dont grow up in the locker rooms and club functions. Nor do they do a 2 year apprenticeship at the club where they have already formed a great bond/friendship with the players. Eitherway the Bombers should risk derailomg their rebuild so we can find out lol
@OCELeoo@davisjarrafooty Im good mate, my life is pretty good and exciting, i dont need substances to excape relaity or try and have a good time, however no judgement if your life is depressing do what you need to fill the emptiness π€£π€£
@PletsasHellas@DonCaldwelll@JamieODonn57763 Cody isnt the best player in this years draft, Cochrane is hence why the bombers said they will bid on him at 1. Walker and Drever are similar ratings hence why Drever is expected to go 2 and walker 3 (tigers bid)
@PletsasHellas@DonCaldwelll@JamieODonn57763 Jagga supported collingwood because his father was drafter by Collingwood. However he didnt play one game!! Cody grew up in the carlton change rooms and his dad is a blues great so to speak! Completely different circumstances.
Think Nick D who supported the Blues growing up
@DonCaldwelll@JamieODonn57763 Thats a huge risk mate, are the Dons prepared to put their rebuild in jeopardy over a big IF he would form relationship with essondon players? I dont think the risk matches the reward especially when there is similar quality players in the draft
@OCELeoo@davisjarrafooty π€£π€£π€£ i think you need to get off the gear mate - just dont pass them on to Cow and Hayward π€£π€£π€£!!
Your so called "new full foward free agnet" hasnt played a full season ever in his professional career, he averages 8 -9 games a year!!
@NameBasedHandle@traderadio Port will never do that as it stands at the moment even if Cochrane goes pick one and port had 4 and 5, they will lose both but get 13 in return!! Why would they give up that for pick which will get consumed in the bid match anyways with a late 3rd rounder as the return?
@JUNKTIMEJOHNSON So carlton give up Walker, not to mention pick 11 and 23 for Huston? Right!! Please let me know what gear you are on, id love to try it lol
@AFL Insteade of screwing around with father and son to establish equilibrium the rule should have been top 4 teams cant recruit free agents if they are in the top 4-5 in a club unless that player is coming from another top 4 team
