Wonder if we throw our hat in the ring for Wayne Milera

Lot of hate for Petty, he’s a 25 year old premiership defender with a lot of good footy left in him. With May being 33 and TMac 32 why would we trade out Petty. Petty is a solid mark as for his disposal, it’s what you’d expect from a KPD. We’ve got mids on big dollars that can’t kick a footy and half backs that can but struggle to kick more than 25 metres. As with Fritsch I’d be very surprised if a new coach would want either of them gone.

Kruger is on our mid season wish list.

The Weed just bagged 7, better than anybody we have.

I do believe it’s called a ‘Quarter or Bag’

I might have to engage in some to numb this season out as well.

Yuck, looked awful against us in the VFL few weeks back.

Pedlar was raised as gettable this week, similar position to Sharp in terms of where he is in the Crows list profile and age, do we give him two years?

Given Billings, Spargo, Melksham, Henderson, Brown, Culley are all OOC (and surely we pay out Laurie and McAdam), we're surely looking to make significant personnel changes in the HFF areas. Pedlar has also moved through the middle, similar to Sparrow or ANB in that sense? (of that lot only Brown i'd keep on / maybe Culley).

Are you doing this trade

>> Kozzy (Freo), Oliver (Geelong)

<< Freos 1st, Freos F1, Geelong 1st,

Then

>> Geelong 1st, Freo F1, MFC 2nd

<< Reid.

Might have to give a little more but to open negotiations.

I'm offering the fitness guru at Collingwood a contract, at least one assistant from each of Geelong, Collingwood, Sydney and Brisbane a contract and one of them can replace Goodwin. It's not about the players right now it's become a coaching issue, settle that first. Watching Collingwood last night made me realise how far off it we are currently.

I'm going to run out of hats this trade season.

we've been spoiled by having the greatest ruckman of all time preceded by all oztrayan rucks in jamar (who joined as a rookie), white, and of course stynes

perhaps kalani will be our next

Good get @whatwhat say what . We also had the BIG Moore, the BIG Carl, the BIG Baker, the BIG Crackers, the BIG Strawb. Rich heritage.

Yes knees are going to have to be managed for the remainder of his career. Not great for a KPP would IMO only be worth a short contract at the right price with potential to roll over yearly if he was like Shaun Burgoyne

The ghost of Kelvin Templeton's knee twists in its grave.

It’s a yes but the picks we’re getting from Freo / Geelong won’t be what the Eagles will be wanting.

These threads are always better with tidbits from @Dannyz and co!

I'd take Jayden Hunt back. He's out of contract and a free agent, costs us nothing. Good citizen and adds much needed speed in whichever position we play him.

After we ousted him, he'd never come back. It was an obvious mistake to push him out the door. He was a superior player to many other players we later lost or delisted anyway. He was a key contributor down back during our premiership year and would've been a premiership player if not for an unfortunately timed injury at end of the season.

Wish him all the best. Great guy and underrated player.

Often forgotten about. He gave us some awesome moments Jayden.

Him & Jonesy walking around with premiership medals would’ve been the perfect result… well that & being at the G.

Out of all the players traded off our own bat, he is the one that i think is the biggest loss. Would have given us the mid sized athletic defender / wing. Was a bit of turnover merchant, but didn’t fit Goodys old system. Would have been better now

Jayden Hunt is the missing piece. Just like Sam Frost.
