RIP Col Sylvia. He was Dusty before Dusty came along. I also didn't realise he'd played 157 games. Amazing considering all the injuries he had.

From what Ned Guy said it seems that the Dogs were more focused on the Marcus Adams deal with the Lions (who also had their own priorities). It was always going to happen. I'm just surprised that in this modern world a lot of time is still spent completing forms etc. Surely there must be an...

Bahahaha- nailed it!

Nice post - I don't mind some positions being crowded as it shows depth. as you pointed out we can't presume the team will be injury-free. Given our recent history I'm counting on it! A couple of things which are wildcards 1) some players will lose form. Eg Stevo may get the 2nd year blues 2)...

thinking ahead - does anyone know if there are potential FS prospects in 2019? (given that we won't have a first rounder) What about NGA?

This ^^^ Lions fans are happy because they think they reamed us And we're happy because we get our draft priorities.

Everyone's a winner in the trade period. Ditto with the draft

Glad I don't have to hear any further explanations of the restricted free agent rule. See you all at the start of the 2019 season...on draft night

I've reached the point of wanting to walk away from the whole thing and let Brisbane deal with the speculation. Love Beamer but we reached the GF without him. I'm now looking forward to Quaynor wearing #35 (as I'm guessing we trade out 18 between now and draft night)

Not a bad question someone just asked. "Who are the best and worst clubs for player development?" Dal reckons Swans Hawks Geel are the best. Totally disagree about Geelong - very few players have developed into anything more than mediocre types some of who eventually get traded...

Rocket Eade's just given Hall a good wrap - said that he'd suit the Kangas particularly well. Congrats Roos you've got a good one. And importantly he'll be on my SC team

Article misses the point that we'd rather trade out 18 for 2nds so that we have enough points for NGA and FS. No point risking someone bidding for Quaynor and forcing us into using a first rounder on him

Sorry that doesn't make any sense. By definition if Jack was required you wouldn't be contemplating trading him It's supply and demand - Port aren't fussed about keeping him therefore clubs won't be clamouring for him

I'd prefer it if he won as many flags as the Son of GOD

And their 2nds are close to firsts

he probably would've - but giving your sliding doors story a reality check is that if he played for us, we wouldn't have JDG, Crisp and probably Greenwood. Instead of looking back I'm more interested in how Beamer can help us in 2019. We're no longer the surprise of the competition. Everyone...

pricky lost the plot when Tegan left him

that's quite an overdose of analogies or was it metaphors?

Does anyone know if we have an NGA or FS pick forecast for next year? I don't mind going into deficit the question is how much.

Blairy has a special place as the first person always named by posters as the "out" in the team changes for the following week. Even if we won by 10 goals, many of us would want him dropped. Must be some sort of record.

It's all to hide the fact they know very little about players from interstate clubs.

wow what's with the hate on Freo? They don't have to give a reason to Barrett on why they're pulling out of the Hogan deal. Clearly he needs a distraction from his faux-pas about the Beams hysteria

you earn $700k ?!

sounds good - If we can find someone with the output and attitude of a Mihocek I'd be happy. As long as he doesn't turn out to be another Kyle Martin

Correct - last year's trade period was regarded as a poor one for us. Using that logic, let's hope we do absolutely nothing in this trade period. the NFL is a good example of the importance of focusing on the draft and cheap cast-offs to build your list

State-league watchers - Apologies if this has been asked before. Rather than selling the farm for May, any mature age KPPs out there? We've had success with Mihocek, surely there's another similar type who could make a similar impact?

Correct - no point selling the farm for a 27 yr old who is prone to missing games.

luck bounced our way late in the last quarter of the 2010 drawn GF

without looking at stats, I'd say Richmond and the Doggies were the same. And the Hawks didn't rely on a single gun forward either. Kennedy and Darling didn't beat us either - the backline and mids saved them. I'd prefer we chase more speed and depth in our mid/forwards. Stevo might get the...
