Suns should pay him whatever he wants.

AFL will make him an AFL "ambassador" and kick in an extra half mill of he stays in Queensland

 

[goodcop badcop]

Maybe Bevo’s new MC colleagues have persuaded him that such whimsical experimentation is counterproductive?

Perhaps, he did play Clarke though. I don't think it's a great sign that he's hardly been listed as an emergency, it suggests to me that he's a fair way off it.

 

[HK_Bulldog]

Dogs will be one of the teams chasing Mac Andrews next year

Been told (though likely not accurate)
We have around 1.7mil free to chase talent next year

I love how Sam Power is in there pitching for the elite talent. A far cry from the old days where we had to get excited over the likes of Matthew Bate and Stephen Koops.

I honestly don't think we will be that active in this trade period

Likely just flip Bailey Smith

Maybe sign one or two free agents depending on list spots

Next year is a big year with the trading opening up

A good year for free agency next year aswell.

Yep we should sign our talent up and then get back into the draft with the Smith picks. Focus on next year although don't we have some father sons coming in?

 

[Chalky White]

I like Lukocious and his kick inside 50 would be great but I don't think we should spend what little we have this year for a flank.

They're easily draftable.

Examples?

Next year is a big year with the trading opening up

Depending on the Smith picks, I would consider future trading if there is a good deal to be had.

This year has great depth and IF Smith chooses the Hawks, I would even consider trading pick 10 & a second rounder for 2 late first round picks. This draft has good depth and I expect there will be a few teams (including us) who may try and trade a future pick into this draft.

 

[dogwatch]

Examples?

Every midfielder and half forward who doesn't quite make it seems to get a second chance at half back. Some are just no good and get delisted but inevitably some of them are a great success. Dale and MBoyd come quickly to mind but there are probably heaps of others. Richards was also a HFF who did way better behind the ball, but of course he has now moved on to midfield role.

 

[Chadley]

double the barass offer

 

[Dogsman16]

Would take what I could for English.

I’d trade in someone like Ned Reeves, Nick Bryan, even offer for Jarrod Witts

(if they want to fast track Moyle)

We can’t keep persisting with this.

Those names I’ve suggested are all at worst 50/50 propositions to beat English on any given day.

 

[Mojorisin]

double the barass offer

Barrass wouldn't have helped, the way the ball was going in due to the lack of pressure in the midfield meant anyone would struggle.

 

[Philthy1]

I know it’s not actually the point, but to think that what we served up tonight could cost Bont yet another Brownlow

 

[MaxiBont]

Missing a genuine crumbing small foward imo

 

[Scragger77]

Are we really offering Tim English a long term deal?

 

[hutchy31]

I know it’s not actually the point, but to think that what we served up tonight could cost Bont yet another Brownlow

I think he was probably 4-6 votes behind Cripps and possibly Daicos/Neale anyway. Would’ve needed 3 bogs in the last 3 games to have a chance imo.

Also, I don’t want to shoot Bambi here, but he’s the captain of the club and those two performances at AO have been atrocious. The playing group don’t meet standards consistently enough and he has a big role to play there.

 

[adogsfan5]

I hate knee jerking but fu** me. 58 hit outs to 16.

Whats Reeves status?

 

[Charlie Bucket]

I know it’s not actually the point, but to think that what we served up tonight could cost Bont yet another Brownlow

Playing at times like he did in todays first quarter is what will cost him a Brownlow.

And considering he’s the best player in the comp, it probably contributed to us losing the game. As did several other things.

Can’t hold Bont responsible for Darcy kicking 1.5, Tim English getting flogged in the ruck, or Buku getting pushed out of the contest in a one on one by Fogarty with nothing more than a flick of the wrist

I’ve lost count of the amount of games, particularly last year, that Bont single handedly won us games. We ask too much of him because others don’t pull their weight.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Not sure about that.

Crows just isolated whoever was on Buku deep.

Do you think we could play all of Barrass, Jones and Lobb in the same defence?

 

[LittleG]

Do you think we could play all of Barrass, Jones and Lobb in the same defence?

YES.

Once Bus builds his strength, he should replace Buku

 

[Mojorisin]

YES.

Once Bus builds his strength, he should replace Buku

If we brought in Barrass I'd assume Buss and JOD would replace whichever two retire first. I can't see Khamis staying if we bring in Barrass

 

[adogsfan5]

Khamis, light frame, continued playing in front of Fogarty and getting outbodied. Was the strangest thing I’ve seen. Goes against his strength.
