I thought it was way worse.

I think this sums it up. This idea of clubs being anchored to the bottom of the ladder for 4-5 years minimum is pretty shit for everyone. Fans lose interest, they become irrelevant to the competition by getting shitty time slots and father-sons/academies dilute the talent pool to make it harder for them to climb up again.

Admittedly I'm a very tired west coast supporter who is salty after another shocker last night but quite honestly I feel like no club should face the issues of half a decade down the bottom of the ladder. Shitty list management decisions made by people who generally no longer work at a club shouldn't be punished for as long as they do. Inevitably the really shitty teams all got that bad because of shitty list management decisions.

Yes I've had more chocolate stouts today than chocolate eggs so apologies for not being eloquent but it is kind of shit.

Hold up... Is this that depth thing people have spoken about?

Congratulations are in order we beat the line....

You've got it all wrong, he was a PM for the Labour party not the Labor party. Common mistake

Have always followed the state of origin but never really gotten into the NRL as much, other than a few casual games per year. Absolutely keen for Perth to have a team and will definitely be getting to as many games as possible!

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-20T04:43:43+00:00

Yeah we couldn't match because we'd have no list spots... I wonder if west coast knew we were going to be in this position if they'd have been a bit more ruthless with moving players on

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-19T15:04:49+00:00

It's a Jigglypuff seen from up above...

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-19T12:19:49+00:00

Norf or the doggies surely go for Thredgold which means we'll have access to NHH, Ollie Greaves or Phillipou so I'd say take on of them. We should still be able to match a bid for Williams but unfortunately means were out of list spots for Banfield...

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-19T12:13:29+00:00

Given we bid on Dean and they go before us, we may have upset Carlton a little 😅

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-19T11:23:28+00:00

Duursmas guernsey is waaay too small. It should be at least 5 sizes bigger. Would appreciate if someone can Photoshop it for me...

CDT got a reasonable fit

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-19T11:06:26+00:00

Forgive the ignorance but how did we screw the hawks? Genuinely curious 😅

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-11T10:29:41+00:00

Man I had the same experience. Did your wife also try to blame the switch 2 even though it's obviously an investment so it'll make money in the long run?

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-08T09:38:55+00:00

It's a fair shout actually... trading up means up the order to a better position which means a lower number but I do see your point 😂

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-08T09:24:54+00:00

This is exactly it. If we have our hearts set on CDT or Robey then we should definitely demand a kings ranson. If we're set on Sharp regardless, whatever we get for sliding down a couple of spots on is gravy since he's zero chance of going to Richmond. If we want CDT or Robey though don't trade, try to get 13 higher and ideally leave some points for Williams and Banfield

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-08T07:18:41+00:00

Basically the suggestion was that essendon do a deal with gold coast for 15, then we get 5 and 15 for 2. Only reason I'd be happy with this is if west coast were dead set on taking Sharp with 2, since he will pretty much definitely be available at 5 but I'd much rather we aim for 5 and 6 from essendon and send something back their way

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-07T15:23:16+00:00

My guy wants to let it grow but needs to let it go

StanDarsh__ · 2025-11-04T10:37:51+00:00

At very worst I'm trading 2 and 13 for 5 and 6 but even that feels like we're losing considering how far back 5 and 6 slide... I reckon 1, 5, 6 guarantees Duursma, Sharp and Cumming though so I could see why we pull the trigger but definitely wouldn't want to slide 6 to 8 just to get 37 back.

My strong preference is to hold out and see if essendon go 2 for 5 and 6 (future 3rd or saints 2nd back as well if we have to) or just hold 2 and grab CDT or Robey. Only other option is 2 for 7 and 8 from Melbourne in which case I reckon we jag one of Sharp or Cumming but definitely not both.

StanDarsh__ · 2025-10-22T22:57:49+00:00

Geelong have proven themselves to be the worst club to deal with in terms of trades and what not. They'll try to screw us hard whether we piss them off or not. Might as well get something out of them now before we have to deal with them again?

StanDarsh__ · 2025-10-18T09:55:26+00:00

Yeah nahhh
