Interesting statement by Gold Coast to give GAJ another b&f just when they know he'll want a trade back to the Cattery. Only played 14 games, one was a stinker and a number of others under injury. Crap year for the club and he did play some blinders, but seriously??? Trying to push up his trade value for sure.

He polled ok elsewhere, I'm not surprised he took out his 4th B&F despite only 14 games. They were a shamozzle with no standouts bar G.Ablett.

He was comfortably their best player in 10 or so games and BOG in at least half of them.

For me, my wish list is

1. Gaff or Whitfield ( both be fine)

2. Lever ( with frost signed not such a hassle)

3. Ac chee from port - 3rd or 4 th round pick 

4. McKenna ( depth type player)

5. A back up ruckman 

would love Kelly but very unlikely. I think we need to keep 1 round next year unless we land lever and gaff/ Whitfield. 

This years 1 round draft pick to be used as trade. We need some 50 plus games, quality players of which lever and gaff/ Whitfield would be. 

Be happy with that !

I also think weeds should have a big gym session next year and we see how he goes. 

Be like a new recruit

gaff or whitfield would be ideal but it remains to be seen whether or not they will actually leave, unlike lever, where it seems certain he's outski, and the same goes for ah chee - but like charlie cameron, he wants to go to a qld-based side apparently, but this time for opportunity to get regular games as opposed to playing closer to family

unfortunately there's no way mckenna is leaving from the bombers from my understanding, that kid is their irish jayden hunt

People place far too emphasis on 'hitting the gym' and 'bulking up' thinking that is going to increase their output and skill level.

Agree. Look at Hipwood from Brisbane. The guy is almost the skinniest key forward I've ever seen but that doesn't stop him from crashing packs, clunking marks and kicking goals.

I hope Weed works on his one-on-one work and his tank more than anything.

Hipwood was gifted games and averaged 8 disposals and 3 marks a game. Weideman would have had similar if not better stats if he played all year. His exposed form shows he has no issue crashing packs and bringing the ball to ground he just needs to get to more contests and start sticking the grabs.

Agree. Chris Tarrant bulked up in the weights room and lost his flexibility, speed and goal-kicking accuracy.

[old55 23,356]

It's not a rumour. It's what I would like to see happen.

• Pick 10 + 2018 1st rounder for Lever + Crows 2017 1st (17?)
• Crows 2017 1st + Kent for Gaff

I'd sweeten both deal with steak knives (e.g. later pick swaps - ours are earlier than theirs) if necessary.

Just heard on SEN.

Dogs and Demons interested in Jackson Trengove (PA). 

I would think more so Dogs then Dees...

I dont mind him at all.  Hes a total pro who knows his role.

Certainly an upgrade on Jake Spencer, and he can play forward/ruck.

He is probably a secondary target for us.  I could also see the Dogs pushing to get someone like Stef Martin as well.

If we were to, hypothetically, recruit both Trengove and Lever, does it make us a little top heavy?  Or do we let Spencer walk and Trengove becomes the back up ruckman?

Or, are we out of the Lever equation?

I don't think so.  I'm inclined to believe that we see Frost not just as a key back but as a utility as well.  He's handy to have as a depth player, and I can't imagine that he is on huge money either.

I just wondered given we re-signed Frost and have sudden (rumoured) interest in Port's Trengove.

Oath. I have more concern with those comments when it comes to Oscar over Weed.

Weid has obvious talent and easily identifiable attributes that made him standout prior to being drafted. Which is part of why he went inside the top 10.

Oscar doesn't seem to have obvious talent nor does he possess easily identifiable attributes.

You never miss a chance do you.

For all you're in denial Oscar has played some very good footy for us.  He's not Lever, we get that, but he's got a lot of excellent attributes.
