Redhorse I know you must be sick of notifications but I have to ask.
Have you heard anything that may see another player (bar wright) leave the club this trade period?
Simple open question that I'm sure many here would love to hear the answer to.
Barring a trade for a star, sit tights.
I think we are done for this year. Nail picks 9 and 13 and all of a sudden the period could be a big tick if we develop the players we recruited properly and they fulfill their potential.

Gotta get rid of this misconception about these players being smalls:
Betts ....173cm
Charlie
.....183cm Menzel .....187cm
M.Crouch .....180cm
R. Douglas .....180cm
R.Sloane .......183cm
S.Thompson ......184cm
Verdict: apart from Betts the others are tallish .....plus it shows how small our midfield is & how lacking in marking power our midfield is
Yeah but, any other year this year! lol, I'm so happy

They aren't small in regards to the general population, but you need to look at the AFL environment in isolation.Gotta get rid of this misconception about these players being smalls:

This article (although 2 years old) suggests the average height in AFL is 188cm, whilst the average height of men in general pop aged 18-24 is 178.4cm.
So within the AFL those players (except betts) are all below average, whilst in general terms, above average.

Ok, if there has been no "NO" from our friendly helpers in regards to us still chasing another player or still active in the trade period....... Is it time to release the Corgi's???
(Insert Corgi gif here, cos my iPad won't let me).

Suspect my internet has crashed. This thread isn't moving at 1 page per minute anymore?
Why not both?

Super well organised defensive team that traps the ball in F50 and limits inside D50s. Then breaks with fast hard running to an open forward line filled with the most dangerous mofo's on the planet.
Total football right there.

Hypothetical
Gold Coast trade picks 6 & 16 for 9 & 13
6 is two picks greater than 9
13 is two picks greater than 16
fairly even trade except of course perceived quality tapers pick per pick

Menzel was close mates with Docherty.
Get on it for 2016 AFC!

6+16=~2800 9+13=~2700. I'd be happy to chuck in some steak knives to get it over the line
Maybe Parker to Adelaide is the reasoning behind Sydney's bizarre deal with Essendon...

it was more a joke about the term Total Football, I hear certain clubs in this country claim the rights for the term.

Would love that! But in reality never going to happen!
