We must have at least $1.7m in the salary cap with Frawley and Clark both gone. We were already only paying the minimum cap.

Pretty sure the bold drafting from the Lions has been a result of throwing around some big ticket contracts and seeing what bites. About time we do the same. Put a few $550k 4 year contracts under their noses and we'll see how much they want to stay in western Sydney.

I'd be putting 650k five year deal under Treloar's nose...

That's right...the tables are turning since they did it to us with Scull dog.

Yep, and not far off $600k for Shiel.

a few more posts to go til the magical 100 page mark and Danger is guaranteed to be a Demon

If Adelaide were even to entertain a trade, the way the EBA structured with the AFLPA and the AFL the player has to agree to the trade also. And why would Dangerfield agree to come to Melbourne over Geelong or Hawthorn? He had the option to go Geelong 3 or 4 years ago on a huge contract when he first came out of contract and knocked them back to resign with Adelaide. And he's a Geelong Falcons product. Could have been a premiership player already if he wanted to come back to Vic.

Won't be going anywhere.

I have nothing to say. Just helping reach the tonne. Go Dee's

Well Adelaide weren't exactly the worst side 3 or 4 years ago

Hmmmm Gary Ablett hasn't re-signed with the Suns yet,,,,,,

Is there any more juicy and inaccurate Facebook rumours out there?

You gotta wonder if this sudden change of heart about taking picks 2 and 3 to the draft is because the Saints told us they're taking McCartin?

Maybe we are warming to McCartin? I like Dawesy, don't get me wrong, but perhaps they've realised that he's just not that good?

Sounds like an immature passing comment, but really, Hogan and McCartin would set up our attack for the next decade with two guys that have the potential to be 50+ goal per year forwards.

Dawes will never be that type of player. Would be a good enforcer whilst the young blokes learn the craft though.

Wonder if Taylor prefers Wright or McCartin...

Agreed, or we have got wind that the GWS & Saints trade won't happen now and we already knew the Saints would take McCartin if the kept the #1 pick

McCartin seems the safer bet, but Wright has the potential to fit our structure better as he can play ruck, too. Think Kurt Tippett.

McCartin is the more typical power forward in the Hogan/Dawes mould.

Personally wouldn't mind either, Wright is a better kick and is quick for a big bloke, but there's question marks over his competitiveness/hardness.

Are we there yet?!!?

Well Mahoney did come out and say it after the Griffen story broke, so the club must have reconsidered their options.

GWS won't be able to get pick 1 if they give pick 4 to the Bulldogs for Griffen.

100.

Bow to our new saviour and overlord, Dangerfish.
