Any thoughts on where Hickey wouldve gone had he been in this years draft? Emma Quayle has him as the best big man in it if he was at the draft table Know nothing bout him so any info appreciated.

It looks promising but time as always will tell. Reality is, we couldve taken pick 13 to the draft and still picked up a guy who in 3 yrs doesnt make it - that happens. I laugh at the "experts" who reckons using draft pick 13 was GUARANTEED to produce a gun....no such thing.

Ripped is paying 850k+ a year for a guy who hasnt played a dominant game in 2yrs, who doesnt win his own ball and who finished top 5 in our b&f once. Enjoy the lack of cap space.........

OR You do what other clubs who have facilitated trades for current contracted players this draft period already have done and get smart and get what you can. Right now Browne is surplus to your needs. Not in starting 22 and from some reports no world beater - tbh I was hopeful we'd do Stefan...

There aint much in it... Ball hits ground - Kosi = Liability at least Wilkes can compete and he's actually pretty good in a contest. Still expect they'll go with Kosi first up.....but I also reckon he'll play more 2's this year.

strong rumour Brown has told Eagles to fruit-off on extensions and wants to be traded - if not he plays WAFL and walks for zip next year (hed only be 24?). Eagles nows sudden interest in Hooker reported in News. Watch this space.

If Saints trade for Martin who can play back the need for Brown is less. Browns no star - cant get in the 22 and is injury riddled. Would not pay overs for him. I hope Cripps stays.

good luckto him but Im not interested in paying 700k over 4 for Goddard. I wont boo him - all reports are he wanted to stay...but saints wanted him to stay less.....think its a win win - he gets his cash and we hopefully we get a first rounder in a strong draft. We are years away from our next...

Totally agree In reality Goddard was at his peak.... when the side was... now we aren't he's also dropped off Never won a B &F ( I think 1 3rd place ?) this year 4th... it's actually an indictment on a guy that wants big bucks that a 32 yr old mid in Hayes off a knee reco wins it! If Goddard...

I'm not convinced Saints are trying that hard to keep Goddard He's 28 next year, we are years off another flag shot - pump in the kids...

For that sort of coin he's all theirs...

Check out our talent aged 23-25 ....she's thin and thats because Ross played Mcqualter, Eddy, Peakes, Jones, Polo's as opposed to adopting a Malthouse/Cats approach and blending/allowing kids greater game time. Fair enough in some respects, he wanted to and believed he'd win a flag with mature...

So Milne says "lets just tell the world what was said - I'll live with that" and Collingwood withdraw the complaint???

No problems its English I get that its not second nature...

im not having a shot at Pies- goodluck to them they dont do the draw. I think the above stats are indisputable - consecutive 6 day games when sides are coming up against sides off a 7,8,9 13?? day break hurt - the stats show that....no smoking gun here....just facts. And yep....its 1...

Sam Fisher ought be our next captain..

Saw this from Leo (good job Leo) on another board found it interesting seeing its FACT. In 30 games so far this year from round 3 onwards a team has had a 6 day break, while their opponent has 7 days +. In those 30 games this year the team that has had the 6 day break has won 11 games, which...

Top 5 free kick totals for AFL players. 2 of the top 5 = West Coast Dean Cox is 3rd. Surprise, surprise...

Is this guy THE most protected species in front of goal? Gets a large amount of soft free kicks that are let go elsewhere every week? Seriously, some of them are laughable...

You ought to give yourself an uppercut. Any allegations against Milne have now been categorically put to rest by the OPI, yet you must feel great labelling other people rapists over unproven cr@p? Disgrace - and how this stays on the main board has me stuffed.

last qtr effort was good considering 4 ganes in 18 days...

i think thats also the key for us. We still like a stoppage - ask Swans - Etihad is tighter, harder to spread and now we have some speed we can also get the cheap fast break goals. Midfield still key and Maric is a big problem - he'll dominate. Should be a cracker.

Hayes x 5. Id get consistent performance EVERY week.

This is true. Ross loves a structure......that aint gonna change and doesnt change easily. We also threw Dawson fwd when times were bad........with little effect. 1. You dont have the talent up fwd we had in 09 to support Lyons defence over attack 2. Lyon will indicate he will change...

Ross Lyon has a tactic - defensive football. I watched many games up close over 5 years at St Kilda - we became defensively the best and were able to hold up offensively (3rd in 09) due to quality players up fwd. Freo dont have them. That said, footy changes and while defense is still...

That "lack or leg speed" didnt seem to hurt us in the second half... What hurt us was truning up at half time.....you cant do that, give 50pt head starts and expect to win. You guys are very gettable in melb.

You work it out....got me stuffed...but no doubt the men in lime green love a bit of Cox...

8 Eagle goals from umpires today...8. Its not just about whats paid....but also whats not....how Cox gets a free for cannoning into Blake when he wasnt even contesting the ruck contest at the time leaves me cold.. Its got nothing to do with the Eagles and Id take em all day too if they...

Totally hear you...but there are injuries any side can cover (as you have done with the loss off smalls like Le Cras/Nicoski) and we have with Schneider all season so far. Kennedy is a genuine loss...Embley...meh see Gwilt. So on a positional basis today to align to our injuries lets take out...
