The Cats did draft 198cm CHB O'Sullivan at Pick 8 last year. They do need capital if they're gunning for Smith and Oliver. If they are pleased with what they see in O'Sullivan so far, maybe they could cash out on SDK. I doubt it, but maybe.

Future First. I suppose with the added capital coming from any one of, or combo of Owies, Kennedy or 31.

I hope EP's mail is as accurate as in the past. If we can add 12 to 11 in THIS draft, that is ideal imo. Each draft is unique. In some drafts, 11 and 12 can be so so picks. In THIS draft i think 11 and 12 are Premium Picks. Those picks, along with 2 Campo's and Walker should consolidate our...

Was he?...maybe i'm confused. But something about him unlike Heeney, Gulden, Papley and Blakey, i wasn't surprised about Warner capitulating. The others, i was.

For mine Amartey and McLean were the actual worst 4 Q players on the ground. Brought zero. For mine, The Chad Warner was the most disappointing. One, because of the absolute boom on him, and two because i half expected him to spud it up in the GF again. Something about him screams....yeah...

Even without Houston, and landing neither of Perryman or Cumming, Port still have amazing talent/depth at Half Back. Bergman and Farrell are quality approaching their prime. Logan Evans and Jase Burgoyne are fantastic young players. Jones, Burton and Williams are all capable and experienced...

As i said earlier before Ralph's article, i can def see Houston at North. Port apparently have Houston on a very favourable contract to them for another 3 years. Houston wants to get back to melbourne and a much better contract now that he's added AA's to his CV. Port have all the power over...

Only Carlton nuffies, and you, still watching at that stage. May as well keep em glued for a few more ad breaks.

I have very little interest in the Brownlow. I had to hire a search party to find Ch7 since i last used it in GF week last year. My rule of thumb for the Brownlow is IQ it. Start watching it at 9.30pm. Fast forward through all the junk except the vote reads. Then watch the winners speech at the...

I mean, i would jump at that as a Blues supporter. But i think , as Cal Twomey mentioned a couple days ago, North will offer basically their F1 for Houston pretty straight up. As they should. North either offer that lucrative F1 straight to Port, if thats what Port are happy with, or if Port...

I think Houston will be playing for North. I think North will offer the most lucrative trade for Port. They will also offer the most money to Houston. Port will then tell Houston if you want to live in Melbourne, North it is, or you can stay contracted with us. Of course,Houston will choose to...

No, it wasn't him.

Early crack at a Phantom. 1. Brisbane: Will Ashcroft 2. Richmond: Sam Lalor 3. North: Harry Armstrong 4. W.Coast: Harvey Langford 5. Adelaide: Sid Draper 6. Melbourne: Murphy Reid 7. Richmond: Jagga Smith 8. StKilda: Finn O'Sullivan 9. Essendon: Josh Smillie 10. Port: Jobe Shanahan 11. G.Coast...

IMO, zero chance Kennedy gets us a 2nd rd'er in this years draft. The quality is too good through to Pick 40 odd for a club to give that up. He is more like a Pick in the 40's, or an upgrade from our 31 to guarantee we get that into the low 20's ahead of a possible Camporeale bid. Kennedy is a...

A few years back, a mate's son was "guaranteed" by 3 clubs that they would take him if available at their mid/late first rd picks. They all then didn't lol. One of them also then had an early 2nd....still didn't pick him lol. Ending up getting picked by a club later in 2nd rd who had given him...

I'd like to be as sure of winning tattslotto as Luko playing for the Crows next year. The dream of having Rankine and Luko has been strong since Day 1 all those years ago. The Crows ol boy network see them as their property. The self esteem adrenaline rush will be too much to resist. They...

What if Petracca has been agitating for 18 months that there needs to be high level change at Melbourne. The hierarchy, Roffey, Pert and Goodwin are sticking fat together. What if Petracca is seen as the enemy by them?

Melbourne option became very unpalatable. Changed preference to Carlton. Petracca looks headed to Carlton, so Houston path to them becomes very difficult. StKilda become the main option for him. Dan very quickly and very wisely decides that Port is still for him afterall. And why wouldn't...

Of course if Petracca wants to play for Carlton from next year he will be willing to take a reduced salary contract. That is obvious. We are his way out of Melbourne. His only viable way really. If he wants a new start, we are the obvious path. What he gives up immediately financially can...

But deep down you know the Adelaide ol boys network will pay whatever is needed to get Luko "home". Reid can't and won't say no.

Freo should build a statue of Lachie Schultz outside their headquarters. They're going to turn him around for Kossie Pickett. Kerry Packer said: "you only get one Alan Bond once in your lifetime" when Bondy massively overpaid him in a deal. Collingwood is Freo's Alan Bond.

There was a massive 3 way bidding war to get Ben McKay into Band1 compo. Hawthorn made a good strong move for Battle early and he agreed. About 835K over 6 years(5M). There has been zero leaking of them having upped their offer. End of Rd1 compo.

While other clubs are dishing up John Denver, Daryl Braithwaite, Neil Diamond and Disney themes.....the Dockers are rockin' out to AC/DC. I hope Kosi and Bolton land there so they boot snags and Let There Be Rock and Rosie keep firing up.:thumbsu:

1. Blues. 2. Port. The deluded wingnut Tredrea fans will be hilarious. Plus i have always liked Port as a secondish team, along with Freo. 3. Bulldogs. The mad scientist Bevo will have done it again. 4. GWS. They get pineappled every year with the fixture and playing before low crowds. No-one...

A lot in the AFL media, especially the older brigade, will be mourning. The most profuse leaker, of mainly bullsh*t and gossip lol, is put out to pasture.

The players and coaches had a complete "look each other in the eye" meeting on their team defence early this week. They would have identified the issues. The mission for the next 5 weeks will be to keep the oppo to the 80-85 we were doing for about 5 weeks, and not the 100+ of the last 2 weeks...

BT got muted. The world rejoices as one.

Yes, McKay is of course Swan McKay. My thoughts are that the 21 players i named were clear cut imo. thats why i named 21 and didn't start parsing with a 22nd or 23rd, or even a 20. 21 for me were pretty easy selections. Except for Soapy who is a given, i suppose i could put the criteria on this...

Best Blues Team: James Silvagni Southby Doull Deacon Hunter Bradley Williams Koutafides Jesaulenko Kernahan Johnston Hands Vallance Ashman Nicholls Cripps Judd Walls McKay Betts C: Barassi

its a great position to be, having a senior squad looking strong and assured and classy and explosive and consistent...... ....and then integrating 2 young players this year who are making us better. Not just getting blooded, but making us significantly better. Elijah and Cowan are huge...
