No point. I'd keep both unless we get ripping deals for them.

I’d spew if we traded McEvoy for anything less then a first rounder and 2nd

No one is giving that up for McEvoy
Can someone please tell why would we trade out McEvoy. So what we signed Ceglar on a three year. Ceglar is prone to patch of very poor form. We are not only going to shoot our foot off by doing this but shoot off one of our premiership legs off. McEvoy is a very good player.

I don't think we're challenging for a flag in the next 2 years or so, so if we can get decent deals for Big Boy and Smith it's an interesting prospect given they're 31 next season.
Clarko would strongly disagree

Yeah he would and that's my fear, we could be in for a longer drought due to the fact Clarko thinks the list is slightly better than it is.

We shall see mate, I can't see us coming close to a flag in the next 2 years and I'll be the first to put my hand up if I'm wrong.

Considering we were 4-2 without our best player against the preliminary finalists I reckon Clarko thinks we’re not far away. Need another good off season like last year. Patton a good start!

Thing is being a contender is about consistency, very rarely do top sides drop games against the bottom 10 or so. It's not just about being up for a few big games.

We wouldn’t have lost to those bottom sides without Titch much like last year. Anyway we beg to differ, you being more the realist me the optimist. Looking forward to trade time and some handy additions. I think we are a little way off the Tigers but every bit as good as the other 3.

Absolutely and Clarko is under no illusions about where our list he said it himself we r a middle of the road side
The List needs to be dramatically improved. Dramatically !!!!
Have a good look at the depth of the current List, in comparison to the Lists of 2012 to 2015. We have a long, long way to go. The next three trade and Draft periods have to be aggressive and ABOVE ALL, successful.
The List, with its current gaps AND looming retirements or blokes nearing career ends, has got to be rebooted by at least ten List improvements, repeat improvements, not status quo additions, but GENUINE improvements.
I am not interested in this crap about the competition evening out.......the HFC way has always been dominance NOT competing with a lower common denominator.
GW has a huge task.

2 years ago, Brisbane won the wooden spoon and the Eagles scraped into the 8 with one more win than we had this year.
Just saying.
I think we’re heading down the right path.
Most improved player in the competition this year statistically was Worpel. Fact. Better growth according to champion data than hopper, mccluggage, Brayshaw and dunkley.
From Round 15 onwards (and look at the mix of our team) we were;
#1- points against
#1- points conceded from turnovers
#1- oppo defensive 50 to inside 50
#2- oppo defensive midfield to inside 50
I’m quite happy with the improvement and expect that this off season will deliver further incremental returns which improve us again.

Brisbane had a plethora of young talent.

Have they? Their best young talent left and they've essentially started again. Now it's paying dividends. Comparing us to Brisbane is ridiculous at this point in time, the lists are in completely different places.
Our list needs youth it's fairly simple we get so excited by worpel and Lewis and what they bring. Player development has improved so much and if you nail your early picks you're getting a top 15 list player who has an immediate impact .

He's not a KPD (which we need) & he's not adding rebound, run & carry through the middle, nor would he add anything to our Forwardline.
He'd cost $500k+ & play majority of the season at Box Hill.
Had we drafted him I'd be very happy to have him on the list but no way I'd want to pay $500k+ for him as a FA.

Wright just needs to do more of what he has for the last three seasons.
Trade for elite players where it is worth it, identify value trades capable of improving in our system to B+ level, and continue picking late draft value, where we really did expect them to go much earlier in the draft
Guys like Finlayson and Amon (last season) would have transformed the outlook for our list.
I suspect guys like McEvoy and Smith could be used to gain the kind of currency to facilitate trades for similarly undervalued types (see Cedric Cox, Scrimshaw etc)
Offers nothing. He basically is Dallas Wilsmore. And to be honest would rather Dallas as you can hold onto hope that he might be ok.
