Need to cut in on the Dogs re Bruce. If not then get Howard and move Moore forwardTwo good ins for dogs , Keath and Bruce
i'm surprised that we have taken on young indigenous players with Wells and Varcoe on the list. The last two years seems to have been a perfectly opportunity. In fact, I thought one of the reasons that we took Wells was to draft more indigenous players. Looking from a long way away, I tend to think that Derek Hines tends to put emphasis on factors that dont relate well to indigenous players. Matt Rendell has a well known history in this area too. It's not just about picking indigenous players for the sake of it, it involves an element of risk taking. I've said this before and I've referred to Ben Crocker. I would have preferred to take someone who had exhibited a bit of elite talent but who had maybe gone off the rails a little. It's a choice between taking John Noble or Marlon Pickett. We seem to make safe choices except for when Derek thinks he has an elite talent who has been injured - a la Shazz...in fact you can put Stephenson in there too.
I think we aren’t ruthless enough w Rookie list. Really use it to have a swing at his risk high reward players like Sydney Stack.
I guess sometimes our hands are tied w contracts and moving players from senior to rookie but it’s so frustrating
Pickett at the end of 2018 into Rookie list would have been a great choice
Not happening, please stop the nonsensical posts. You do this every year.Need to cut in on the Dogs re Bruce.
gee they use the term star loosely these days
Yes for me.Could Daicos play this role?
We’d have to offload a few to fit him in. Shaz, Aish & our 2nd for Wines.Talks on Nicks that we are interested in Olle Wines

Agree w most you say except Broomheadwhile i agree with you, its hard to be critical of the current rookie list. Broomhead had to be retained on the rookie list because he was injured throwing his leg at the ball - dumping him without giving him a chance would have sent a negative message to the team. Max Lynch looked a prospect. Brody and Noble are in the team. The Irish boys are free hits. Murray had to be retained until he got his punishment. Madgen has been pretty good this year. Not easy to find a spot

Bruce has nominated Dogs, offered 4 year deal.
“iF” Grundy has intentions on leaving Dave this bloke is a good start for compensation.
With Keath also nominating dogs, hopefully they keep their paws away from Darc now.They have a lot more Money to play with then us.
They have 1.5 Million Free in there Cap
Rather keep Grundy then get Wines
Add Broomy.They want more then That
A few years ago I said Wines was one you’d throw the kitchen sink at and build a midfield around. Has really taken a fall, in the last couple of years. He would be disappointing if he came to us imo.
