I hope one of those later picks is used to pick up Fritsch. The FD have said this draft they want to shore up our midfield so unsure who the targets are. I doubt tht McKenna returning from injury or Balic are the a graders we need.  Bernie, Jordan and to a lesser extent Nathan all at the twilight end of their careers.

I usually like jay Clark he has good mail, but that amateurish crap he pulled today was just beyond a joke, anyone could be a journalist these days 

He obviously ran with something before confirming with the club and someone from the club has called him back pretty quickly to set the record straight.

His initial tweet represented everything that is wrong with today's afl media, but at least he set the record straight with the follow up tweet.

Most others wouldn't have.

Taberner just re-signed with Freo for 2 years.

Jesse is staying with our club, he said so himself. Given this, can I please suggest we quash any talk of him being traded and what his value would be? 

Are you trying to drive his price up? Clever

Just say whatever you want and then change your mind. 

Take a long walk Jay Clark....

It's the times we are in. Instant gratification, click bait , Kardashians ffs etc.  Hardly anything put up is actually credible if you drill down into them. Probably the one thing ol Donny will be remembered for as being absolutely on the money is the notion of Fake News.

Journalists were once an honoured brigade.  Now their descent into media hackery makes it hard to believe anything from anyone. The few good ones are tarred with a very big brush these days.

The other side of the coin is it seems the general populace have dumbed down to accommodate also. Only have to look at the drivel on telly and even some of the 'sensational' stuff on the non-fta. Look how people are slaves to popular icons. The modern person often just wants a distraction from the durge. 

The Trade period is called a Circus for a very good reason; it's full of smoke and mirrors, of grandstanding, of supposed death defying scoops  but we all know the Circus is a Show . It's sensational by its very nature.  Those driving the show understand this and play their games.

Quite frankly the only aspect of this time of year that is real  is how the lists look AFTER it. Sideshow alley until then.

Agree though. We haven't kept a second round pick once in the Roos-Goodwin era.

2013 ours went in the Tyson trade, and the one we received as compo for Col Sylvia went for Vince

2014 - Frost trade

2015 - Melksham trade

2016 - Hibberd trade

Having two of them in our possession would scream "other purpose" given that history.

You can just about extend that to the whole JT era.

2012 Dawes pick 20/pick 26 reserved for Jack Viney.

I think Fyfe is coming to Melbourne after having a coffee with Hogan.

Maybe Watts and Motlop joining the Power will be enough for Wines to want to leave??

nothing like Port adding some steel and consistency to their line up

good luck to him......i'm tossing up whether to watch my neighbour's new paint dry or to watch the grass grow on my nature strip

I'm hearing a very strong rumour that a straight swap of Watts for Zak Jones is on the cards.
