It is very confusing when you mix in a couple of 'captain obvious' statements with some really out-there vague claims. Not even sure what you mean by 'return to their roots'... I get the feeling like you think a global financial collapse will bring down the wicked apparatus that is funding the gays and femonazis, and hence precede a return to traditional values and curmudgeonly older men being at the pinnacle of social status?

Though I confess I am reading to type - that's the usual drift of this particular structure of ranting. Kind of the Australian version of Tea Party Monthly, or the 'I'm not racist but' quarterly.

IMHO Goffy, sometimes the 'ignore' feature on 'land can be an absolute blessing. Would be mildly interesting to see a list of 'landers who have the most ignores set to their posts.

The problem with Jamar is that he has basically no value. If a club wanted Jamar, they have a better, cheaper option out there in Jolly, who is no guarantee of getting a spot on a list next year.

I suspect that we might have questioned clubs about Jamar in hope (though knowing that he won't really garner any interest), seeing as we were/are looking at Jolly.

My suggestion with Jamar was directed at pick #29 which rumour has that GWS does not plan to use. It would be mighty handy to ushowever (Zac Jones?) and i am sure that Jamar would assist in their ruck depth.

it looks like essendon sent pick 84 to Geelong for Chappy.

I thought that Geelong were not going to extend his contract? I thought he could go anywhere without having to be traded? I must be wrong.

They did the same in trading Podsi to Adelaide for a late pick!

Yep they've done well, getting Bruce, Delaney and Longer for close to SFA. Brisbane have been absolutely reamed.

I cant see us doing much today. PSd may unveil a smokey

Agree, but delisted FA has significantly diluted the strength of the PSD.

Trade Frenzy - Saints trade period looking better by the minute.

Finey apparent claimed last night that the saints had the best trade period of any club. That might be the case if they can guarantee that their picks in the top 20 all turn out to be quality players. Looking through the names of the last six years in the top 20 indicates there are definitely no guarantees.

its amazing how polar opposite the ST Kilda and Brisbane trade periods have been

'

Saints now set up for a nice rebuild

Lions in all sorts of trouble

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,589]

Is josh even there?

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,589]

I think Saints strategy solely based on draft success. Its a lottery.

They have scored themselves a lot of picks but it's going to be a painful year for the saints next year.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,589]

The drafting gremlins owe a few other clubs a Cale or two...

[Little Richard 6,261]

The saints may end up in a similar position to us in the next couple of years - too many kids and not enough experience around the 26-27 age.

We didn't have Riewoldt and Jack Steven though.

Talking about that - #1 [censored] Damian Barrett said Norf were the big winners out of the trade/free agency period.

Obviously Finey has no knowledge of how weak this draft is.

I'm surprised at how underwhelmed I am by a lot of the names outside of the top 12.

The Saints are going to flunk this draft class, and I feel sorry for their supporters.

[Clark_Kent 315]

Haha of course he did. They picked up one player didn't they? And received a pick in the 70's for Delaney. great trade period. If he is referring to the Football Department signings then that is a completely different thing.

[Machsy 2,858]

Having said that, it was smart of them to identify the opportunity to get Longer on the cheap, if the eliminated their main opposition by giving them the ruckman they wanted.

Got good value for McEvoy too in the process, but lost years of development.
