What would Harry be worth at the moment on the trade table?
He had his issues last year and is not really imposing himself at the moment.

There would be some interest...but I'm not sure it would be what we think he's worth and well short of his Coleman year.
Averaged 1.8 goals a game last year
Averaging 1.3 goals a game this year

Brisbane won a flag with Morris and Gallop, Id be going two younger KP Forwards with height and must have kicking ability, Harry just misses too many goals and we cant afford that with our lack of system and efficiency imho.
Struggled this year but been pretty good for us. Not going to  jump on him yet.

Step would be to get someone like Walterfrom GC.
Walter doesn't grab me for some reason, I'd probably show interest in Ben King as a free  agent due to his kicking prowess.

Agree and standing front and square IMO is Voss. Considering he coaches from the bench (or plays solitare on his laptop from the bench) you seriously would have to be brain dead to not pick up on the young man's condition. Lij has a history of substance abuse and yet our head coach is oblivious to his state till half-way through the last quarter. Any half component coach would have looked into his state when the stats said he was zero touches in a half and if he did that but didn't notice then he should resign. 

Yet another cross against him and hopefully the final nail and he is not up it like many on our list.
we've appointed a list manager as boss.

We've seen this before with ratten. 

Our club was once known as the professionals. We've been asleep at the wheel since dick pratt died. 

Sure sack the coach, our problems run deeper, and we'll be here in 5 years again.

the buck stops with Voss. he is the senior and should have picked this up

and in regards to our past as a guide it has zero relevance to the whether Voss can coach and he cant so should be changed.

it doesnt end there after voss is replaced the whole coaching group needs rejiggijg as a min.

hopefully with new coaching group we will see the true development of players like jagga dean walker (finger crossed). staying with the current set up will yield the same underperforming team year after year after year.

Not unless we can get another key forward. Just lost our last one.

Agree, he is draft capital and we need to rebuild. His performances are inconsistent and as you say  his concussions make his future uncertain..

This one is worth more to us in draft capital than on the field.

With the disaster that was Thursday night, its taken me until now to think back on some positives.

Thought Matt Carroll played really well,
Love that he is backing himself in and taking it on and what a kick he has on him! Hopefully he continues on with it.

Besides his crap goal kicking I thought Harry played a more aggressive hard at it game than previously. He took most marks and had second and third efforts.

Thought Kemp started well but didnt impact when needed at the end.

And of course Talor, unfortunate he missed the sitter earlier in the game (not the only one) and shame about the last one, but the kid has something. Hopefully he continues to improve.

Harry was playing his best game for some time IMO......but its also a pretty low bar.

Harry gets way too many concussons for a bloke 200+.

I can't see him playing out his contract with us. Still has 4.5years left.

Trade him to Tassie

Reidy's probably a definite in with Pittonet out.
It's his old club.
He would have rucked against Jackson so it won't be a surprise for him.
That could be a good or bad thing.

I like the idea of Derksen in the forward line.
Just by the nature of his acquisition he'll probably be on shaky ground at the end of the year so he'll be looking to show his versatility.



Got nothing to lose trying Derksen or anyone else imo, Freo have a good settled backline with designated defender only types and designated intercept/rebounders and we need to unsettle that and maybe even go a bit defensive on those rebounders like Ryan and Clark in particular.
I think most of the list will be on shaky ground if its a new Coach and List Management team and a rebuild theme with youth for example.
