@BrickODonovan@pvarrasso Realistically unless we get a gem in this draft/turn the head of a Humphries type, we will be going into next year with a similar side. Other sides are getting better and although I expect improvement from our 26 and under crew, is it enough to combat Hawks/Dogs/Pies improvement?
@AJG_87 Players develop past 24, im not saying he will be a star but in a side where he gets an extended run he might make a decent player of himself. Certainly won't be rooting against it. Tigers a good landing spot for him as well.
@adowidagdo@richmond1724@CalTwomey If its not to clear some cap space they must rate Toby Whan/Jaren Carr for a list spot going forward. Jaren had an excellent 2nd half to the year so I wonder if his development helped make the decision easy.
@BrickODonovan@pvarrasso A bit fumbly and kicking can be a bit loose at times I agree. Still had some nice moments so far in his career. Has shown that some games he is up to it, I think it's about consistency for him but he has enough tools to at least be a capable role player at AFL level.
@adowidagdo@richmond1724@CalTwomey You think Collingwood are letting a 24 year old thats played 17 games the year prior go? Who do you think is getting more $$ next year out of Pendles and Driz? Pendles is leaving to extend his career + $$. Driz is leaving for supposed opportunity so imo It's a shit comparison.
@adowidagdo@richmond1724@CalTwomey And the pick part is more Walls/Freo show their cards too early with a lot of this stuff. Announcing that the contract was withdrawn probably shows that we won't haggle. I don't really know who I'm annoyed at more tbh.
@BrickODonovan@pvarrasso He hasn't played with proper confidence since 22. Elite might be out of the question but he could be a consistent role player.
@7AFL Freo would have thumped them in a Grand Final. Voss would have kicked 6 on Sicily mark my words. It took the best team/coach of all time from stopping Freo from claiming their first flag.
@JB_1050@adowidagdo@richmond1724@CalTwomey Wagner was only preferred because NOD lost form. It could have happened the other way around. I'm not saying NOD is better than Wags but I'm not giving either up for pick 61. Especially when we offered Driz 3 years. Can only think the $$ is going towards someone else.
@JB_1050@adowidagdo@richmond1724@CalTwomey What about Jude? I do pay attention to Freo, have supported them for over 20 years. I don't think 24 year old good enough to play 17 games is worthy of pick 61. Just my opinion and I could be wrong.
@Shay_mie95@Observer_AFL Yes you would but it would depend on the year. Like you'd give up Ginbey if it meant you could have another Harley Reid/Duursma/JHF but probably not if it meant you got a Rayner/McGrath.
@Addyant23 Good player and wish him all the best but more importantly a great teammate and great person. Freo fan growing up and I'm glad he got to represent his childhood club. Richmond Is a great spot for him and If he gets an extended run he will make us regret this. You got a bargain!
@adowidagdo@richmond1724@CalTwomey 24 year old that's played 17 games in a team that's finished 1st on the ladder and made a GF. I just don't think Geelong/Brisbane/Collingwood are letting that guy go for pick 61.
