There's been two reasons why. Our club culture since winning the flag, and the players we've recruited from other clubs have all been busts.

there is also incompetence at every level of management including the footy director Green

I hope he has learned and stays away from the football department

BTW what is Smiths' start date

Maybe pick 7 and that Bedford guy, he seems to go ok.

Yeh, and Hogan.

I’m sure they’d look good in red and blue.

There is a very real possibility we only bring in Mihocek and Heath in this trade period. While we lose 2 of our greats, who now seemingly hate us.

What a sad time for this club.

Patience grasshopper

Why not Jack Buller? 2 metre key forward. Good for the club. Good for the brand.

Two words when used together that I don’t want to hear again for a long time.

Ollie Florent being dangled by Sydney in a bid to try and land Curnow.

Has pace, in the age bracket we’re looking to bolster. Could be a cheap option for us

He won’t be cheap…………and will probably go to the Blues in a trade for Curnow

I doubt they get more than a 2nd rounder for him

Might be a handy McVee replacement

If Carlton wanted him he’d be in the Curnow deal without being told to look around.

Sydney can’t ask for more than pick 40 I’d imagine, less if his contract is big and they don’t trim it down to value.

He’s a bit positionless since he lost a step of pace. Doesn’t defend well enough for a back pocket, doesn’t bounce it out like a back flank. A bit of experienced depth could help us down back but if it’s a rebuild we probably shouldn’t bother.

Trade Target. Bailey Humphrey , this year and every farrrkn year after year.

Sounds more likely he'll stay at the Swans but an article on the afl website states there were 'murmurs' of him considering a move to Victoria.

25yr old defensive mid. Wouldn't be a bad get in my opinion given we're losing quite a bit of midfield talent.
