Ok we need a key defender and a pact mid. I am worried about the lake speculation. I think he is at the wrong stage of his career to join us. i would like to see us pursue Luke Thompson from Adelaide or Tayte Pears from essendon and pick up a speedy mid through the draft!

There will always be problems with the draw when the sides don't play each other twice. My preference would be for the AFL to set up 3 conferences of 6 teams. Each club plays each other once and the clubs within the conference twice. The anomalies with the draw would sort themselves out over...

I expect us floating around with some low picks in exchange for possibly Laddo and Renouf.

Re: Trade Scorecard Considering who was available during trade week - then we haven't done too badly. Apart from Laidler - who is unknown quantity and Hill - who was way over the odds, I can't think of anyone else who we would have traded for who would have significantly improved our side...

While I respect Tarrant as a current player, he is not getting any quicker and probably has 1-2 years left in him. I would say no! But the club's decision must be made in the context of our recruiting strategy. This is in turn comes to:- 1. How do we rate our list - Can we pinch a flag? 2...

There is no use making the finals unless we play and plan to win the Grand Final. We will have 4 tough final games. If we are to go deep in the finals - our best 15 need the week off against Collingwood. I am happy to play any of Carlton, Sydney and Freo - any where with our players being...

OK let's face facts. This draft was always going to be a difficult draft especially when our first selection was at 39 and we had 5 selections between 39 and 70. Did the club get it right with the selections? - We will not know that for a few years. However there were 3 glaring weakness in...

Re: Damian Barrett f#$@wit extraordinaire Unfortunately, I think he may have a point. We have not been successful in landing a big trade during Pelchin's tenure. What disappoints me has been the fact that there have been leaks linking us to trades in previous years which failed to get off...

Our track record shows we draft for position. While pick 9 is on the table - I do not expect that it will be used. I'd expect our attempts to get Lake will fail as the Doggies won't trade with us and any trade with Freo involving Pick 9 and Tarrant would be a disaster. Tarrant is at best...

I am pretty sure the rule has been changed that elevating a player from the rookie list to the main list counts as one of the 3 compulsory picks! I am unclear on whether Moss is entitled to be retained for a rookie for one more year!

Here we go again. It is the silly season. If we learnt anything from the previous administration - trading your first round pick for a short term solution does not equate to success and it robs the club of unearthing a 10 year quality player (see Spider etc). It would appear from the...

The club has to balance the selection with its needs. We need ready made KPP Defender and pacey mids. Most clubs will not want to trade away a KPP Defender that will deliver us another flag. It also pointless drafting for a KPP Defender which will take 3+ years to develop with our...
