• Happy with Clark and Lumumba deal
• Lumumba halfback and midfield
• No experienced players coming in
• Looking to get Frost by tomorrow or PSD
• News on pick 2 and 3 - nothing happening - going to the draft
• Trengove diagnosis - Richmond's medical team not ours.
• Lyons (Adelaide) Hunt (Geelong) - no
• Clark and Frawley douchebags **

• ** authors comment not Josh Mahoney's

Bring on Petracca and Brayshaw. (Saints will surely go with a tall?) Develop them properly and watch them become stars. The times have changed.

With improvement next year, we can go hard at Danger and any other FA without having to give up picks.

Happy camper.

[Wormburner 674]

Think positive - Brayshaw will come ready to go - think Wines.

Geez I haven't heard that "ready to go" comment before.

[Tyson_Viney_Toumpas 269]

Geez I haven't heard that "ready to go" comment before.

Something different for us isn't it?

Watts, Trengove, Scully or Toumpas weren't ready to go, so I'm looking forward to it.

[Redleg 40,914]

"Everyone is tradeable" my ass.

We traded one player, the best forward on our list. Woo [censored] hoo

Clealry the blokes we are happy to trade are unwanted, as are most from other clubs.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

Another trade period another year with half a midfield.

[Demon Disciple 12,122]

All i'm going to say is thank god for Richmond's medical! How much longer would have his foot gone undiagnosed if it was just left up to us?????

Exactly

So advice to StKlida is - don't go with the best player in the draft - draft to needs ?

[Robbie57 2,020]

I get that we couldn't do anything with 2 and 3 but what is going to happen with 23 surely we would prefer someone ready made than go to the draft with that?

Haha it's a joke isn't it mate.

At least we kept Terlich.

This is the problem when you have an under-performing playing list.

Really what do people think we would get for a Watts or similar? If we don't value them chances are the rest of the competition, (whose baseline player is vastly better than ours) won't either.

There is no easy answer unfortunately. Our young players just must improve, and we must nail the draft.

We have done as well as we could in the trade period. Lumumba will be close to our best player next season and Garlett potentially fills a hole that we have had for years.

The midfield simply must be improved from within if we are to be a competitive unit in 2015.

EDIT: in terms of clarity and grammar...possibly my worst post ever

We should hope that Saints keep 1 as they might not take Petracca, GWS would.

[McQueen 17,864]

So where does this leave Sam Belase?

Delisted, or do we go again?

What's his Contract status?

[Ryan Dee 140]

The deal didn't get signed off. Mahoney has been booked in to go on SEN for 5 days, hoping to make an announcement. Looks like the deal didn't get sorted. I will always back my source in, but apologies.

I was right about Frawley and Vince well in advance, 2/3 isn't too bad.

[Tyson_Viney_Toumpas 269]

Yes. If they were considering trading away their pick to GWS for Petracca, then nothing is certain that they'll take him.

He gets traded tomorrow if not he will be delisted

[Redleg 40,914]

Yes but you might add the best two mids in the draft plus Billy. HL and Garlett could also have bursts in the middle and Salem, Toumpas, JKH, Kent and Barry to improve hopefully.

Hmmm. Good luck with that.

You seem genuine mate, so good on ya for sticking your head out!

cudo's for having the cojones to come back on here.

Let the spanking begin....

[Dr. Gonzo 24,215]

Lots of people crying foul about us not trading enough.. at the end of the day, you can only trade if the other teams/players are at the table.

Or if you put in the leg work during the year to set things up and have multiple contingency plans in place.
