Dr Gonzo, comparing Brian to Jimmy and Jay to Todd Viney is so far off the mark as one bro was so much inferior to the other.Oscar offers or will offer value as does his brother. Picket fence suggested his offerings,Gus and/or Harmes plus draft picks for Lever would be going backwards. We need quality mids. Loyalty has gone out the door,surprise supporters don't jump ship during bad times !!!!!!!!

Hogan 4 Lever possibly a win/win for both clubs. Dees don't rely on Hogan to win games these days. There will be other players that will fill his shoes and we do not have to wait one day for Hogan to return home as it will be somebody elses problem. The Dees are trying to play Wagner as a mid and other players will play different roles in the future.

Hypothetical,if we get Lever what happens to O.Mac ? Some suggest that we trade him,surely T.Mac would probably want to leave. O.Mac might end up playing forward or a role similiar to his bro who knows. Lever would be good but playing overs may upset the "apple cart". To my knowledge one of the Scott brother was better than the other yet Brissy could have traded one of them.

Glaring weakness all over the field as far as I am concern. We need a quality mid,FB and CHF and a ruck/forward, a cool $4 million will do.

armstrong35,J.Smith will become a mid/defender.Pedo,Spencer,Kennedy will become obsolete.

Not necessary to get another defender,would prefer tall mid and a ruckman/forward. J.Smith could fill the tall mid/defender role. I don't think we should giveaway our first draft pick. Who cares if the so called Tac cup kiddies aren't as goog as last year,there will always be a potential star in the next draft.

Would be great to get him in a Dee Jumper. Perhaps another Mac could go forward,nothing like a Macattack. Still we need a quality mid,is Wines available?

There are always going to be some player to get slagged,most of all it is the revolving door players.Some players step up especially when there are better players around them,like a Lewis. I have faith in Oscar,must be that glamour pick 43 that does it. What most surprises me of late is the way Nat Jones is playing,certainly there will be those who disagree and that's fine. I am glad to see Frost"y" cement his position in the senior side.

Rocky,many of us (me included at a later stage) thought Jack Watts was not up to it,as it turned out Jack proved us wrong. Also some of us wanted Hunt and Harmes delisted,may I say no more.

Oscar will be a great player for the dees whether in defence or forward.

May has nothing to offer Melbourne. If you compare Treloar to Prestia it is like comparing cheese to chalk,Treloar win easily.

As I said iut before cheating does prosper as long as you do it properly. Long live cheating !!!!!!

Oliver is class above the rest of our mids ( it's tragic),if Joel Smith ends up a mid next year that will be super. Maynard another basketball convert seems to be following in Smith footsteps. This year it will be hard to see us making finals due to injuries.We don't seem to have enough quality players in the reserves,just revolving door types.Most of all we need to get another quality mid and a ruck/forward player.Perhaps those tall players in the reserve need to be given ruck duties i.e O.Mac.,Flipovic,Weed. Ruck work can improve stamina and confidence. If these light wts ruckman get pushed off the ball easily then the mids will have to take up the slack.People will say that I am crazy but I did say Watts should be able to ruck under the Neil Craig coaching empire.( not really an empire ).

Interesting comparison but it is early days for both players,so far Petracca is the winner. I think for took Hunt in the same year,earlier on he suffered from injuries and has turned out to becoming a useful player for us. We could of chosen Wines instead of Doupas,(Doups was damaged goods when we picked him up) we could have chosen the Bont or Cripps over Brayshaw. So the Bomp is a clear cut winner followed by Cripps thou Brayshaw isn't too bad of a player. As comparisons go we pick up Oliver over Parish,so our scouts got that one right.

After Essendon beat Hawthown you can definetely say cheats do prosper.

Most of our test players and the the ones who were in the test side recently are performing badly at test and shield level.You cannot select players based on T20 or 50-50 form.The Big bash is one of the reasons why we cannot produce decent test players.We cannot seem to find a decent all rounder,S.Africa have produced Kallis and Pollock as all rounders and this seems to make a difference when playing in India. I would like to see the big bash scrapped and go back to the state sides playing T20. as this help pay wages for the players. Perhaps we nned to bring in an U21 squad to play shield matches.We also need pitches that can take spin thus replicating Indian pitches.Each shield side should have one all rounder which the side nominates and that person must bat at no.5 and bowl a minimum of 15 overs per innings.

EFC aka drugcheats should get zilch for Hibberd and we should get compo for Marksham. We still are a sad club when nobody wants Dawes,Garland,Spencer and hopefully satin inc. takes Dunn.

Contracts are meaningless if a player wants to leave a club. Why would you want to pay someone if their heart is no longer in it?

Placing Michie on the rookie list again is a waste of time. The club should take a leap of faith by placing Joel Smith on the senior list. White also should be given a go. Dawes too much of a dinosaur,needs to be let go. Hopefully Spencer could find a new home,he has reached his use by date. Newton and M.King your'e fired.

If we cannot get Hibberd so be it. That's not the end of the world. I would hope that we are not silly enough to entertain the idea of giving away any future picks.

To the person who merged the 3 sites on delistings……… bloody well done.

For players to get delisted it is either there fault or the club's fault or a bit of both,that's life. We have to improve our list.

Leehow,if we had a 1st round pick we could trade it for more later picks,keep it or pick up someone of value and since we don't seem to have many reserve players to step up to senior level we will struggle next year. We may very well make the eight next year and would be good. Where do you expect us to finish next year?

With so many potential candidates to get rid of, I can't see us making the eight next year due to no 1st round pick (keep or trade ) and we lack key backup players.Really we need a miracle. to Moonshadow IDGARA on your cryptic comment.

After the Casey match we can say goodbye to Spencer(5th),Michie(zilch),Trengove(4th),Grimes(5th),M.Jones(zilch),Newton(zilch),Terlich(zilch),Dunn(4th) and Garland (4th). In brackets is the draft pick we could command ( more like pray for) ANB and Kennedy Harris may survive,we need someone to get rid of for next year.
