Totally agree.
I wish the club would come out and say he is a required player.

Giving away our good players is the quickest way to mediocrity!

Why would we want to do it?
The player we get might be as good as Clark in a couple of years but might also be a bust.
We need to keep our good players and build on it with free agents and draft.

This appears to be social media speculation - no official word.
We may hear something tonight.

I don’t know why we would need to trade any of our good players. We were not far away this year beating Freo, Richmond, Geelong and Carlton. We should have beaten Brisbane and took it right up to Sydney. A free agent or two and two good young players in the draft, together with continued improvement...

Accepting 55 for Hill would be madness.
Unless we are very lucky a player at 55 would be nowhere near as good as Hill.
I think we should keep him.

He is contracted for two more years.
He stays unless we get a godfather deal offered.

It’s actually 6 -4 retirements and Joyce and Kyle.

The other critical element is the teams that you play twice. StKilda played 4 of the top 6 teams twice and the other team was Hawthorn who is a fairly good middle tier team. Compare that to Geelong a preliminary finalist in 2021 who played the bottom and second bottom twice. Not only 4 wins but huge...

35???

Seb is 29 and had a great season

With Campbell doing well Marshall ha# played a poor one

Sharman is 193 cm -same height as Riewoldt.

He will be the medi-sub

I think Allison is contracted for 2023

If we delist as many as 8 players where do we get 8 as good in the draft or trade?
Bytel, Byrnes and Highmore worth keeping

I was at a club function for 40+ year members yesterday. Ratts spoke very positively about NWM saying he would be a very good player. Spoke as there wasn’t any doubts about him staying, and how he would compliment the team. There could be some truth in the homesickness, but a period home before pre ...

Lienert not Lieberman (predictive text!)

With Battle out it would have to be Liernert or Highmore and Lieberman is better at second ruck.

I was wondering when he didn’t train this week

Bytel will possibly be at another club & NWM is homesick so the story goes,should we really play them if that is the case? Why would Bytel want out? He has been injured for most of this season and only starting to get match fit. He surely couldn’t have expected to come into the seniors any soon...

I am very happy to see him develop another string to his bow in defence. However, I think he will be a forward in the longer term, mainly due to the fact that he is the best set shot at goal on our list and by quite a margin. I was at training a few weeks back, and while King and Higgins were missin...

In the presser Ratts indicated that Jones will be very close to a recall and Howard will come in.
Interesting who makes way.

Howard trained fully today and looks ready to return.
DMac also joined main training and may be in Sandy team this week

It looked like they were running out of legs.
Possibly the six day break, coming back from Perth (4 a.m. return Monday) and also a heavy surface.
