Words going around that Coniglio would prefer to stay out of the draft than end up at GWS.

He should've taken a leaf out of Jack Darling's book.

Might Yarran be the small forward that we need?

Even if Coniglio pulls out of this years draft, GWS will finish last in 2012 and get the first pick and have another crack at him. GWS will take him and then trade him. Either way they stockpile assets. They take him.

As for Yarran, I would like to see him live but the wraps are huge. Better then Chris. Still think we have to take a ruck or key back first but if he is best available so be it.

Please! No more smalls signed by Richmond ullhair Its time to go for big & mobile & quick thinking & oh poop, GWS get the first 50 picks

every year we get sucked into buying Midfielders , ok we have Martin, Cotchin, Conca, Deledio running in the midfield, try getting rid of them for another midfielder, WE CANT!

Buy/Draft a Key position player Back and Forward

There was an article about this O'meara who was in the best for WA a few weeks ago by Emma quayle and I think where we are mentioned as one club interested . He is one of the 17 year olds that GWS has the rights to and can trade out . Not eligible to play AFL until 2013 I think ?
Brian Taylor said during the Freo-Essendon game that the bombers met with him as they were in Perth.
Anyone know much about him ? Would be a big call to trade for a player who can't play until 2013 .

 

[Tigerdog]

If we manage to sign O'Meara I think we will have pulled off a pretty big coup. Is that how you spell it? Anyway, point remains the same.

*smile* me. How good is Coniglio. Whoever gets him is going to self flagellate for years to come.

I can understand where you are coming from.

List Management is a continuum of reviewing & recruiting.

There are various parts of the list needing special attention now, in priority to others.

It is about time to do another List Management review for mid-season 2011.
I will do it in July when I have some time.
Also, it will coincide with the end of the U18 champs so we can combine it with those juniors who might be available.

Thanks for the updates guys. btw will be interesting when draft time comes all those junior experts opinions when they havent even commented here.

There will be 17 other clubs having a sniff make no mistake, got told to keep
an eye out for him & sure enough the wraps on him are big.

Will be interesting to see what some clubs are willing to give to get him.

Jaeger will end up @ Freo, no doubt about that at all.

Damn, Patton played well. I was hoping he might slip to us.

No chance Evo. I don't think I have seen a bigger lock for pick 1 in my time watching TAC.

Get a look at Billy Longer, reckon he is the one we should go for. Reminds me of Leuenberger at the same age.

Yep, have heard that Patton is almost certain to be number 1 and go to GWS. Wouldn't surprise me if they have already approached him and begun preparations for his relocation.

:roflSurely you mean self stimulate

 

[Tigerdog]

I was going the 'flog' angle, but you are probably right.

SA v Vic Country today, Saturday.

WA v Vic Metro tomorrow, Sunday.

Two excellent games to review & analyse.

Adams & Couch, appear to've had excellent disposal efficiency, >75%.
A more than fair bit of butchering by O'Brien, Whitfield, Tynan & Clay Smith.

Although Devon Smith looks to've had a quiet one, he still gained 6 tackles.

McKenzie, Wingard &

How the hell did Raikiwasa get BOG?
CHF, got 2 kicks, 1 mark, 6 HBs & no goals!

Mitchell Grigg looks an interesting one.
Wing, 20 disps, mostly kicks, 76% eff, 3 goals straight, and is 183cm.
Worth a special look!
