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.

    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?

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
