West Coast - likely Wellingham

Hawthorn - made the GF, don't need much

North - likely Caddy

Bulldogs - after Dawes

The rest are more at a draft stage I would have thought

Wellingham - Trade

Caddy - Trade

Dawes - Trade

Not FA as you're bleating we're not having a crack at

They can't, f/s bidding happens next Monday in which GC will still be in posession of pick 2. Viney can only go to Melbourne, GWS or GC.

Any mature recruit we get will a have a sense of the mercs about them. Even if it is only a perception. Look at Clark - we know how invested he is in the place, but the perception remains that he is

Mate you were asking about those teams so I gave you an answer.

We are in desperate need of quality players and SO FAR I'm pretty disappointed about what's known of our efforts.

I was talking in reference to FA which is what you were bleating about

You even stated you don't want trades as you want to keep draft picks

Don't change the goal posts

You said EVERYONE was having a crack

Mate - we've been linked with nearly every single out of contract FA / Player at some stage in the last couple of months

Don't act as though we're doing nothing

An old bull and a young bull stand on a hillside, overlooking a pasture. The young bull says to the old bull, “Hey, let’s run down and blank one of those heifers.” The old bull replies, “let’s walk down and blank ‘em all."

Covers the situation nicely.

Incorrect. If you were paying attention, I said I don't like trading for contracted players. So who's moving the goal posts?!

I misread

You're still ignoring the facts that it's day 2

Many other clubs have been silent

We've been far from silent

Weve been linked to NUMEROUS players

Wellingham, Dawes, Pearce, Monfries, Byrnes, Rodan, Lynch, Caddy and so on

What more do you want us to publically do simply to appease impatient supporters?

Sign a few FA's day 1 just for the sake of it

Give me the definitive list of who you want us to trade for / get under FA

Sure other clubs have been silent, but we're in desperate need of quality players, especially if it means NOT giving up our draft picks.

Not including the draft, I would have liked to have got via trade/FA:

-Tippett

-Caddy

-K Stevens

-Byrnes

-Wellingham

Realistically, I think we'll get Dawes, Byrnes, and maybe one surprise. Depending on who the surprise is I'll be either satisfied without being happy or underwhelmed.

We can't keep relying on 18 year olds from the draft, we NEED players who have played 100 games +

Yet all but Byrnes you would have to trade for. What do you trade?

WE haven;t been silent though!

We've been vocal!

Byrnes toured our facilities today

Tippett realistically will go to QLD

Re Caddy Dawes Wellingham here you go

Are happy now?

Ok let me explain. I was obviously just talking about FA with the bit you highlighted. To me, a team with tons of salary cap space and high draft picks, who needs experience, should be pretty active in the FA period.

The players I listed as trade for players I would be happy to trade picks for (at the right price).

If we had a semi good side we could go after one gun player ie: Tippett or Goddard but we have a lot more holes to fill so I'm happy to not pay overs for tippet and Goddard. I can't believe Goddard is on 800k a year and Kurt will probably get more then that. I'd rather pay overs for mid range players like wellingham, Dawes and maybe caddy. I wanted cloke because he is in the top 5 in his position I don't think bj and tippet are.

"(If) he (Tippett) wants to go to Melbourne, guess what, Carlton will out up their hand for him," Malthouse said on Adelaide radio station 5AA.

"Of course I'm going to get involved.

"I always thought Tippett was going to go back to the Gold Coast or Queensland because that's where he comes from.

"Adelaide, to me, are a club on the rise ... now all of a sudden you hear Sydney or Melbourne and I just don't get that."

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
