[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

a little miss leading (did you even go too school?)

Gold. Thanks for the laugh.

Tom Boyd would be a great get to ontrade. We have Hogan.

But we could deal hardcore with every club if we had Boyd.

But GW$ will have first pick. They won't win 2 games.

Nice dream though.

Huge game next week, Cameron was on fire today.

Agree we need mids mids & mids

If we manage to get a PP and it is Pick 1 it goes on the table to the highest bidder and put it out there that the chance at Boyd will not come cheap

Crows Sloan & Henderson/Mckay

Blues - will need a third party involved because they will not give up Murphy or Gibbs

Lions - Rockliff & Hanley

Dockers - Barlow & Michie

Saints - Steven & Armytage

Dogs - I don't think they will give up Griffen but that is where I would start asking along with Libba absolute clearance machine

Port - Wines & Gray

If clubs want Boyd that bad one of those clubs will give us something good

I agree with what you have on the table for Boyd but if we get the pick I would keep him and trade off a couple of our others.

No Hogan isn't enough on his own... he's only part of the key forward equation we need going forward... I'd keep pick 2 & take Boyd if he's still there.

We need to go after the best mature Mids we can chase in free agency, & others who aren't yet free agents but out of contract this year...

.... we can look to trade some key forwards next year, after we see how our young ones are faring, & how Clark & Dawe are fitness wise. we may want to trade some of the older key players next year.... seriosly Clark may never be 100 percent again, & dawes has the hand issue.... we may be better off next year looking at one of those for trade, end of 2014...

... so if we pickup one $$$ high priced elite free agent this year, & we may be able to work a trade next year, for another.

I hope we look at Daisy, & the GWS kid this year.

We will lose because we are soft and crap. Sometimes there are many nuances...sometimes there aint.

Between bailey and prendergast, well, they totally destroyed our drafting. WE are dead in the water. And, as the saying goes, you are dead for a long time.

short-term memory... wee haven't drafted well or developed well since 1997...

unless I've been watching a different team in a parallel universe.

so if memeory allows cameron, corcoran, & daniher, & bruise free styled games led us to bailey & prenderghast.

In the past I was all for list management for the sake of picks. But no more. This club, more than picks, more than players, more than a coach, needs to learn to win.

Enough with losing already. Our culture is so weak, so gutless, no amount of draft picks will help us as long as the mindset is that of losers.

I hope we play to the very best of our ability from now until the end of the season. Picks will look after themselves.
