3. We need to look back and see Roos' history at the draft/trade.

How did he go about getting Richards, Shaw, Mattner, etc...? What did he let go to get them?

Players like Hanneberry, Luke Parker, Reid - what number were they drafted or were there other draft trades involved?

Offered Mumford money that Geelong couldn't match.

Gave Richards a chance to play regular football that Essendon didn't, same with Kennedy and McGlinn.

Gave Shaw a fresh start which he needed.

Drafted and developed some good kids.

Money and opportunity will be what we will be looking at. I don't think anything will come of a swap for pick 2 unless a club like Adelaide really want Aish, GC could also be interested as he is a Clayton type player.

Why are so many obsessed with getting Jones outside of the fact he is Nathan's brother? I'd rather a Dunstan if he was around at our pick.

Which of the Hawks kids played well in the middle for their recent VFL premiership?

Hallahan probs, if he's out of contract, get him.

I think a better player than both will slide outside the first round, it's an even draft.

I hope Salem slides, it's possible, Taylor, etc.. There is a few players with a touch of class that could slide, we can hope.

No one thought Grundy would be there last year, so touch wood.

My source may not be at the club much longer

is he being traded NSC?

is Rockliff together with some sort of swap of picks further down ( to our adv ) worth #2 ? just asking ?

If it's true about Rockcliff then yes I would do it before anyone realised what had just happened.

Rockliff and pick #26 for pick #2 and pick #36???

Perhaps a 3 way deal with another Victorian club involving Longer or Polec as i see Rockliff worth a mid to late first round pick which we don't have

Nope he's not a player. I'm getting no info post Neeld anyway.

Rockliff is their next skipper.... Highly unlikely to trade. He is the thinking finals in 2014.

Finals with who?

Finals with who?

finals with the Lions. They will be in top 8 contention in 2014.

I hear pick 2 could be traded to a club like hawthorn for two or more second tier mids.

Why go for 2 B grade mids instead of one A grade - very short sighted prefer Aish.

Definitely don't want pick 2 to be part of any trade proposition, but i wouldn't mind us trying to go after Savage.

finals with the Lions. They will be in top 8 contention in 2014.

What? Half the club wants to leave, they have an untried coach, and there is a board spill.

They make us look stable.

Black and Brown on their last legs.

Staker too. Merrett not far off.

5 good young kids, high draft picks, all looking to bolt.

Turmoil at board level.

I'd be most worried about their forward line.

We make an attractive alternative if you're looking to move out of there and back to Victoria.

Roos as coach, established spine.

Forward line and back line set for talls, just needing a handful of smalls to come on to round it out.

Just need to sort the midfield.

We have Jones.

Trengove is better than he has shown, and players will know this.

Viney. Toumpas.

A bloke like Rockliff would be able to see the impact he'd be able to have.

I don't think it's a hard sell.

Aish will take 3 years to help take us anywhere, & who said we give up P2?

Not for me they won't.

Not everyone steps up at the same time. If you want to build long term success you have to have quality for age coming through every year. We missed out in Clarks trade year and need to bring more in this year whoever it is at pick 2.

I agree, & that is why i've pushed to recruit a couple of elders & use our picks to multiply our gets, eg P2 for player x + P8 ?

I don't want a thomas

.... get us a Chappy & a Cross, or a Del or an MWhite or Stokes or Ellis or Guerra type? FA's

use some of our picks/players for trades & delisted free agents.

I still want to get 2 earlyish draftees.

Nupp, they're miles away from being a serious finals contender, they have very few key position players of any quality,

we're closer to a flag than they are.

Roos will win in the end! Go the messiah!

I say hold.

Pick 2 and Sylvia for Sloane?
