What is your sources' logic for this deal? As in would Lukosius make an instant impact? It's just that I'd say we're in a Premiership window now and Lukosius might take a while to come on? Also would this deal still take into consideration Roughead and drafting iQ and Kelly?

I think a lot of peeps are not sure if he is (or will be) a 'lock down' player. So far he has been great at intercepting, in the air and even offers a bit of run and carry. The question mark is whether he can compete with the big boys? i.e. a Buddy Franklin or Tom Hawkins? Apart from McLarty...

Have to agree on this one! Happens every year! Even at the very worst, Howe should have made the team! Here is your AA selection panel: Gillon McLachlan (flog), Kevin Bartlett (pie hater), Luke Darcy(knob), Mark Evans (?), Danny Frawley(doofus), Glen Jakovich (wanka), Cameron Ling (strand...

It was thissss bigggg Boydy!! Tru dinks!!

What I'm saying is, IMO I'd be keeping or going after Ruckmen that can go fwd and kick goals too. If players can be versatile it's a huge positive (i.e. play fwd & back, play inside & outside, ruck & kick goals... That's what I mean about it should be mandatory. Anyway, that's just my opinion.

So COXy could get acquired by Brions in Pre-season draft for zip right? Thats if he wanted to walk cause he's not contracted. What I'm finding it difficult is to price him.. What's he worth? Just say another club (other than lions) wanted him, whats type of pick is he worth? Do you rate him on...

Agree. Give JT a 2nd chance, its the catlicks thing to do. JayTee has broken into the 22 in his first year back after two years out of the game, that's impressive! Good on the club for that! I don't think Keefey or JT is worth anything on the open market though, but definitely keep JT, even as...

Figure of speech... Maybe 'gone past them' can mean the way in which they related to the game back when they played it, or from what it was many years ago. Strategies, mentality, physicality, fitness, science may have changed since that time however, if they are progressive and are open to new...

Good question?? Still, there'd be heavy scrutiny going on in that dept too. Think Sanderson will probably be OK though as he hasn't been there long enough and is still under contract.

Think Lever would make a good acquisition, he is a great height for the modern game and he appears reasonably agile for a player of that size. Intercepting is only one of his attributes... although not known for locking down players, he is good in the air, courageous and provides some run and...

In a golden son environment of nepotism, saying 'no' or having a difference of opinion is rare characteristic that is to be commended. That makes me wonder why he is still there in the first place? While I agree with you on that front, my argument would be, does Rocca still posses the fresh...

If we dont get Lethlean then my vote is for Mongo Ming! Do you, Mongo Ming the Merciless, Ruler of the Universe, take this Earthling AFL team, to be your subject of the Hour? Do you promise to use the team as you will?

I'd much prefer to go after Lever this year and possibly Lynch next as he's a RFA so it shouldn't cost us draft picks/players. I think we've made our bed with the likes of Mayne and Wells and with the scrutiny going on at the moment, I'm thinking we'll be very reluctant to take these types of...

"that's what I'm here for I spose... get the crowd up" Hehehe gold! Sheez I hope he does. We've been waiting so long for a magician! If he can just show us a glimpse, I'll be stoked!

Finally... something to be happy about!

Hypothetically, let's say the club re-appoints Buckley for whatever term in Hardwick style fashion by removing those around him.... Then if we make the eight next season, we all live happily everafter.... right? But wait!! Unlike Richmond this season, what if we dont make the eight in 2018...

Because he has just proven himself. The powers that be think they have just realised that he can now coach... but yeah, it took 6 years.

Don't read it then. ;)

I love our club, especially our management at the moment.... That's because we give our blokes, like Bucks, a chance at succeeding!! Where, at other clubs, can a coach undertake an apprenticeship for 6 years then get afforded a two year extension? Surely nowhere!! Especially when the team...

Buck's is obviously playing to win so that he can retain his job. Unfortunately that means its at the expensive of blooding/developing the youngens (i.e. Daics, Kirby etc). Eddie is shoring up support by saying we're not far off making 8 mathematically etc.. although it's not about making the...

hahaha thought so! ;)

Are you talking about Tom Lynch (suns) Scodog? If so, are you suggesting to trade for him this year? Or do you think Pies may target him next season as he is a RFA next year right? Suns would fight tooth and nail for him considering the difficulty they face to keep any decent and mature player...

Great analysis Snoop! Did you leave Brown out on purpose or did you accidently overlook him?

That's a throw away line. Perhaps I should have explained my logic in more detail. Trading Sidebottom is a hypothetical which doesn't suggest that I want that to necessarily happen, or that I don't love the club any less than anybody else here. Sure some may find it contentious, however it...

Maybe he's not? OK, so Sidey will be 27 in January 2017 and has a few years of good footy in him. Gibbs will be slightly older at 29 by the time season starts too. Lever is definitely worth a high Rd 1 pick at worst. So perhaps Sidey (worth pick 5 -10) is a worth straight swap more or less for...

Well that hypothetical lit up the forum. LOL KPP's are the most challenging type of player to source or replace and develop, therefore least expendable. I would look at trading Cox over Grundy if it came to the crunch. Moore can back up in Ruck. However, a more realistic trade for mine would...

As much as I luvved Bucks as a player, I have to agree with you on this one TD. At the time of this post, Blair had kicked 4 goals in 2017. Now if I'm correct here, we essentially have no chance on making finals right? If so, why isn't he blooding youth? I'm not only talking about getting...
