Ess r so hard 2 trade with. They want overs 4 their players & want to pay understand 4 the players they wany 2 trade in. As well as dragging things out.

Our chances of luring Elliott just improved. I reckon had they won & haven forbid won the premiership he def wouldn't consider coming to the Dees, but now maybe.....

Doubt we would do it. I agree we should, but we are far too conservative. We couldn't cope with Martin Pike & he won premierships after leaving. We haven't recruited any a Irish players for eons & we tend to pass bad boys who can play for good boys who can't. Where is the x factor????

We must keep Smith he will be gr8 as the 3rd tall in forward line. He'd b hard 4 opposition 2 match.

Walker's retired so that makes 2 rookie spots & 1 cat B spot along with 3 senior spots plus one extra senior spot because we only had 39 on the list. So if we get Langdon, Tomlinson & ??? Elliot we def need to move on JKH & J.Wagner.So we can have at least 2 Nat draft picks & 1 pre season pick. More if Vanders retires.

Either option has its positives.

If they want 2 keep him y don't they demote 2 rookie & free up another spot. If Wagner improves then promote him if he doesn't delist We hang onto ayers for 2 long. JKH 7 years for 39 games as an example.

We have only 3 spots available maybe 4 not sure if we went in2 the season one senior player down???? Either way we need 2 make some smart calls otherwise as it stands we can only pick 1/2 players in the draft if we r committed 2 selecting Langdon & Tomlinson. Surely we need 2 make calls on JKH, Stretch , J Wagner & Vanners. Am I missing any other senior players. I believe ANB is resigned. Ok VDB has a contract but he & KK r no certainties 2 play again. If we delete or trade 3-4 more at least we can capitalise on early draft picks & 2nd pick in the pre season draft.

Did u factor in daylight saving Steve?

Better options out there. I'd prefer the draft.

We need a leaders who inspire & motivate the group. Gawn would be an ideal choice.

Tim Smith is on the rookie list so that makes it 3 senior spots & 2 rookie ones. Unless he got upgraded during the season.

Condescending dig. Not appreciated. If u don't agree fine but don't insult fellow supporters. PS I'm not ur mate!

If Jones cares about the club he'd step down and concentrate on his game. Not sure he will - he might need a tap on the shoulder. He can't be captain in 2020.

We haven't learnt too much these past 4-5 years we still keep nqr fringe players for too long. An example is JKH who's been on the list for 7 years for an average of 5.5 games a year.

At the moment we have 3 senior spots open 2 if we pick up Langdon, pick 2/3 & 38. That's not enough to regenerate the list, so I reckon there must be more delistings or trades to come.

Hope Joel stays.

No more movement & it's been nearly a week. I think the FD need to have more fibre in their diet. We have only delisted Garlett from the senior list along with the Maynard & Lewis retirements. If we get Langdon that will mean as it stands that we only have 2 picks probably 2 & 38 as they stand at the moment Freo will want pick 20 at least. With the season we have had surely we can move JKH etc on...... Might be they think they can trade him & some of the others. Also other than Keilty (rookie) what about Walker cat B always injured and AVB perpetually injured. Surely we can't carry players indefinitely. For instance JKH has been on the list for more than 5 years and still plays like a deer in headlights and Vanders is never fit. Very poor list mangement. We have too many VFL standard players like the Wagners, ANB etc....shades of Terlich etc from 5 years ago surely we need to hit the draft and get some new talent.

Jones doesn't provide any leadership he just tries to kick it long every time or over possess the ball. AFL platers should know how to play.

A shorter version of Frost though he was built like a tank.

Source. Is there a proviso he works on his kicking

Not a fan of how Jones plays. He just bombs it or tries to hang on 2 it till he gets caught or he's missed the opportunity 2 give it off thus putting the next guy under unnecessary pressure. He is and has been overrated.

He can't b captain next yr in fact he will need 2 spend time @ Casey or better still retire. Would rather Bernie Vince back than him.
