Soooooo I could be wrong here but I think you’re not a fan of Tomlinson..?

Ahhh [censored] it, i'm not meeting my KPI's anyway; I've done a little light reading, below is a list of all VIC based players mentioned in the thread; Tom 'Basil' Lynch Jack 'Basil' Reiwoldt Joe 'Basil' Daniher Josh 'Basil' Bruce Mason 'Basil' Wood Jack 'Basil' Gunstan Levi 'Basil' Casboult Jamie 'Basil' Elliott Harry 'Basil' McKay Josh 'Basil' Schache Patty 'Basil' McCartin Tim 'Basil' O'Brien Charlie 'Basil' Curnow Ethan 'Basil' Tremblay' Ben 'Basil' Brown Mason 'Basil' Cox Shaun 'Basil' McKernan Luke 'Basil' Breust Tim 'Basil' Membrey Will 'Basil' Hoskin - Elliott Tom 'Basil' Hawkins Jake 'Basil' Stringer Tory 'Basil' Dickson Brody 'Basil' Mihoeck Esava 'Basil' Ratugolea Edit: went a little early without a few names

Little whisper we will be nominating Tom Green, if we have pick 3 and will be happy to take him, if not matched by GWS. He also has a brother in the GWS academy, which could make it even more interesting.

the name Buckenara has sent shivers down my spine since 1987

If we can leave Bonar out of this and get someone of the type we need instead (or a suitable pick) it would be so much better.

We should push to trade our pick 3 for their pick 6 and Caldwell. If we pulled that off, we’d be trading in a future gun midfielder who can play both inside and outside (plays best outside) and draft another elite talent with pick 6 such as Ash, Flanders, Serong etc. Make it happen Dees!

Channel 7 news reporting GWS will offer us pick 6 with a big offer for pick 3.

Josh Wagner = C PLUS James Harmes = C Yep, he knows our players intimately.

I posted on one of the FB pages re this, and while I agree with his summary based on last season, he said similar things regarding the Richmond season in 2016 and also said they can't win a premiership with that list. I'm fairly sure this time last year Buckenara was praising our list.... it's very easy to just write things based on one season.

just reading AFL website - GC using PSD against Adelaide in Greenwood deal. if GC are 100% locked in on Greenwood and going to shaft Adelaide. leaves us with PSD2 as a free hit for Langdon. would wait on dealing out 2nd rounder for him. just to [censored] you Bell

Don't be Hawkins Don't be Hawkins Don't be Hawkins Don't be Hawkins Don't be Hawkins Don't be Hawkins

I'm not going to troll through the thread here, I'll only make a simple small comment. He's an upgrade on the players we've already got and we didn't have to give up a pick from him only $alary $pace.

Appropriate sign placement.

His a [censored] mug that yank, no business playing footy, who been found out with body pressure, a one trick pony.

Those four played 36 games for 35 goals.....Jenkins scores 22 goals from 11 games.

In my world Harmes is higher than a C sheesh, have a look at a couple of the names on the C list. His finals campaign was brilliant in 2018 and probably our best in the prelim. If that’s not elevating your game I don’t know what is. One of our consistent performers this year also. Others need to pull the finger out.

harmes = stretch = C (6th tier)?

This will upset many here, but I feel he is pretty close to the mark.

This is the only post worth reading in this thread

You're a Detective aren't you

Don't people get sick of bagging Oscar? It's such a bore. Last time I looked he played for us and hence we should support him.

Gee, first O'Rourke and now Bonar? Clarko's losing his marbles. Just as well he's going to land Frosty.

That is a grammatical nightmare

Best Available talent with Pick 3 works for me.

Papley wants a massive salary and would cost a warchest of picks. Tomlinson came with at no cost (picks) and on a reasonable contract... How about we wait until the end of the trade / draft period before we lose our marbles?

If we are down for just this year, we need it to count.

Mate there are children reading this thread

time to stop playing the GWS game and taking their cast offs in return for allowing them to draft the guns. Their modus operandi is so old and transparent it is almost amusing. Tyson anyone ???

2018 media overrated our list 2019 media write article about how our list is overrated well played

Seems like Freemantle is getting a taste of their own medicine after spliiting their picks we were after for Jesse last year. The vindictive side of me is pretty happy about this, although the dockers can just keep hill if they aren't happy with those picks from the saints.

Will prove all doubters wrong next year with AA fullback honours. Has all the tools to do so, just get his body right and he’ll be magnificent.

Pick 6 and future first (St Kilda’s, let’s say pick 8 next year) vs pick 10 and a future pick 19 (with pick 35 coming back) ...... The first round is a long round and covers everything from pick 1 to a pick in the low 20s.

St Kilda were always going to have this issue when they offered Hill $900k per season.

Agree. His assessment of our list is not a million miles away. I'd have Hibberd at C+ and Harmes and Trac at B- But surely we expect both Lever and may to elevate to A graders - and Trac for that matter.

So Bucky's been on Demonland pretty extensively then!

Probably wasn't worth popping that on the record mate. It's a ridiculous observation, but righto.

pick 12 and 18 are now with the aints - there's yr two first rounders for brad hill

Yoko used the phases "excited by" and "not a battler". That would rule out Tim O'Brien I reckon.

Sure did... if you think pick 6 and pick 19 hold the same value.

I imagine their initial asking price for Langdon will be Pick 3 based on this.

Fremantle up to their old tricks.

Buckernara is spot on except for James Harmes Gawn for Sole Captaincy

If his assessment is correct....then we should have been given a priority pick!

We will be judged all through the 2020 season and it is up to the players to silence the critics. It is not just the media it is also us supporters who support them. We are the critics as well. Less injuries and good recruiting can help.

Yes, I will tell all after.

Cyril Rioli would be proud of those stats.

I don’t think the Hawks are low-balling us. Take into consideration that we haven’t offered Frost a new contract and Mahoney coming out and saying we were happy for him to talk to other clubs. Nothing about him being a required player. From the outside he looks like an un-wanted player and certainly not worth the second round pick we’d all like.

Not his middle name, however.. In the 1939 Sherlock Homes movie, Holmes and Watson were played by Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce respectively. This is how he got the nickname.....Basil.

“Insert angry post about us getting bent over and taking pick 97 for Frost and Clarkson turning him into the best wingman in the comp here” And then mention O-Mac.
