Bailey Banfield, Brayshaw, Bolton and Baker mean too many B graders
. . . Although they would progress from being a C grade club at the moment

why is 13 relevant when we have 12 (and 14?)
Austin has placed us in an aggressive and attractive position should we want to be, our picks are pivotal and can be applied to several trade scenarios and if not, no worries, we go to the draft and select 2 young talented youngsters. I’ve been a little harsh & critical of Austin , happy now to applaud him from the excellent work and retract some of the criticism.Must admit the last move was a beauty and got my head back in the positives.
The other good thing is that the Race for Houston is against Collingwood

Walsh genuine star, Cerra and Williams all on big money, injuries are robbing us, as I said, if we can keep them on the park, might make a bigger difference. We have not been able to field a consistent side for long periods.
Ashcroft although a star would not be on big money as yet.
Our small forwards don't demand half the attention their small forwards would.

Yeah the age wasn’t where I heard it. I’ve have had multiple people today stating we are in it still and are confident.
I’m all for the draft but I’ll concede, Houston would help a lot
Plenty to play out.

We definitely don’t want to part with 12 if we cannot move up. If Pies don’t get 13, the highest draft pick offer Port would get would be our 14
Because Collingwood’s offer will trump our offer.
13 & Richard’s is better than pick 12
We won’t be offering both 12 & 14 for Houston, and they have no interest in Owies or Kennedy but do have interest in Richard’s and he wants to get to Port.

The question is, do we ride the race like Lance Armstrong’s Tour de France 1999 - doped to the gills with draft pics?

So SOS at St Kilda likely to ream * with a bid for Kako after his old mate Dodo was moved on.

Not actually Brad Fisher
If Port are willing to accept an offer from the Pies that we can get close enough to, they will green light Houston’s move to Carlton out of respect for his service to the club given that we are his preferred destination.

Yeah but when we “win” Houston, do we really win?Must admit the last move was a beauty and got my head back in the positives.

Yeah. I don't think North pick 9 vs carlton 12 vs pies 13 would make a difference. If it's minimal he will get to club of choice (or stay)

I wouldn't be trading pick 3 for 12 and 14 if it was the other way around. No real difference when we could have got 2 top 10 picks in Sam Walsh's draft. Quality over quantity

Pretty sure it wasn’t an ACL, the knee had degenerative issues something to do with cartilage or the like

Reading the previous discussions on DGB my assessment is that yeah by all means consider him but I'd hope that All tall back options are vetted and the best option is acquired. I believe that our list is in a position now where we don't need to be desperate any more. Why would you go and get Kevin Costner when you can have Morgan Freeman?

When did Houston publicly nominate Carlton as his preferred destination 
I haven't seen anything, only journos speculating.

I watched nearly all his VFL games. His last few weeks were terrific. You could tell he’d shrugged off his injury issues from before pre-season and had confidence in his running patterns. Look at his game against Geelong.
