West Coast Off Season 2016/2017

[The_Captain]

$1.65 to make the 8 seems good odds as with the addition of Mitchell and a good draw it's hard to see them missing. NicNat being out is the big question I guess though.

NicNat is your MVP as in without him your teams chances take a definite tumble ... you must admit, with him in, your team is a wholly different prospect than w/out no??

and I don't mean in a Capt Obvious way, but when he wasn't quite right coming back from injury (can't quite remember cos i'm getting old - 2014 or 2015??), with him in the side you always looked a chance to beat anyone, but w/out the team just struggled ...

You're absolutely right. People hose him and saw how over rated he is. But he is so influential to us when playing- makes our average midfield look great.

I think we will still make 8. But wouldnt be plunging at $1.65. A few key injuries to guys like Kennedy/ Mcgovern/ priddis and we could be in big trouble. Then again- 3 key injuries to any club could fek them up.

Yeah I like it a lot. On talent he was top 5 before he got injured, so I'm happy to back the recruiters in to do their due diligence. Seems to have a lot more upside than Powell-Pepper, a fact that so many people just don't understand.

Stoked with Rotham and Waterman, and Rioli looks like he could have be anything (from nothing to something to great haha)

I could pull quite a few articles that state it

Can't say I know much at all about the guys we selected, but to be fair I've barely done any research about this years draft yet

Reckon we will grab anyone in the PSD or Rookie drafts? I know he won't cost anything, but I'd prefer if we didn't take Dish

Sounding like we are actually going to get Petrie later today

Heard this today too...

Won't cost us anything, so I don't mind

Not sure it will actually work out, but I guess it's a free hit so no harm trying

I've been thinking all along that it will work, but I've been convinced it won't from so many people.  The way I'm looking at it is he's a 3rd option for goal who won't even come close to getting the best defender, super accurate kick too.  JKK and Darling will be taking all the pressure off him.

[elephants]

The way I see is it is he's so far past it its not funny, he was consistently in Norths worst 5 players each week late last season and thats saying something

[fanTCfool]

He'll be right, as RD said no cost at all and if he doesn't play a game you are no worse off than you started.

[JBs-Hawks]

Its funny out of the 4 they delisted, he was by far and a freaking country mile at that, the worst of them performance wise!
