Interested in Martin. Who would you want for him?

I'd like to strengthen my forward or back line, open to suggestions.

Be creative people.

Top 10 players don't grow on trees.

Neither do AA types as in Jamar & Harvey (I assume it's Boomer Harvey ?). It's subjective to opinion.

I would want Jamar and Harvey.

Its Stand up Comedy Hour

Seriously doubt many trades will be completed until the season begins.

Enjoying the early learning curve in this comp.

Bring On the season proper!!!!!

Yep Boomer.

The guy who came dead last in our comp last year also had the most AAs in his team (7). But yes it is subjective.

He played in your comp ? Where did you come JA ?

Deal's off the table then, actually the reason I didn't propose it in the system is because I was scared you might accept it. When trading it is alway more beneficial to trade 2 average players for 1 very good player. If you accepted that trade I would therefore have to drop Leuenberger, or look to trade him off.

So to shift Boyd you're going to need to offer me something that's going to be worth my while. And I dare say that if you put that trade (Jamar & Boomer) to any of the other coaches with top 10 players they'd turn it down.

Van Berlo ?

Go fish.

van Berlo has a higher actual rating than Martin's projected - add to that he can play back and centre.

Furthermore, Martin is depth in your team and would be depth in mine - whereas van Berlo would easily walk up start into your backline.

Chris Dawes? I must say - looking at a player who can only play one position looks pretty hard to move on.

Just before the first game of each round, not sure if it's literally the bounce of the ball or 5-10 minutes before the bounce.

I have Brad Ottens on my list- chosen as a back up ruckman whom I can still utilize as a forward. If I place him as a forward in my team does his ruckwork count as a statistic?. Please advise and thank you.

I'd have Ottens as a rookie next year IF Max Bailey, doesn't come up physicaly this year.

Thanks for offer to take Lake off my hands HT, but i think its best for my long term health to hang on to him. 'Twas a good offer though. Bob Murphy is one of my absolute favourite players out there. Had to have a good long think about it - and hit the doggies website/bigfooty etc to find up to date injury news... but Yeah NAH!! Lake is mine, unless Adam Goodes is up for trade then i might reconsider

No sweat. I saw the injury list and it looks as though Lake will be back around Round 6, but I've heard whispers it could be longer. Thought it might be close to a worthwhile deal.

Thanks for your advise my friend . I think he can do OK this one. I will not be trading him. Also I swam atVictoria University yesterday with Brian Lake. He hope to be back around 4/6.But will not be pushing himself too far , too early.

Dappa Dan with picck 2 wisely chose Sandilands, he is a hitout machine averaging 36 hitouts a game, the most of any player. When I come to play him my ruck, Leuenberger, only averages 21 per game.

The Sandi post you made earlier sums it up. YOu could pick Selwood (I had my eye on him) who is very close to getting you frees for, along with touches galore... You could pick Goddard who will give you lots of kicks, marks and healthy amount of goals. but when ONE player can sew up a category as reliably as Sandi does, he picks himself.

Now if anybody is interested in : Richard Tambling ©, Danyle Pearce ©, Josh Hill (F) or John Anthony (F)

Happy to listen to offers\

You still have Anthony?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

As a general rule... he is.

1st, by 1 handball.

I was sitting next to him at the Roos/Dees game where each of the finalists had a guy playing... His squirming was more entertaining than the game...

goood trade HT

I think it benefits both parties M_M, I was hesitant because I love Banfield - well not "love" but you know what I mean. I think Jetta offers me more scope. So I accepted. Win-win I think.

I actually like Jetta but I think Banfield will play close to goals... I need some goal kickers. Also, I just like trading.

JCB still around ?

Always here for you- please explain why? Got a decent trade? Or do you want to pick my team ?

I can't beat a sprightly young colt like you.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
