chook fowler

I'm glad we have the likes of PJ and Mahoney to handle the negotiations. They are true professionals and will get it over the line unless Hogan is totally committed to returning to WA.

As for the trade for Weiderman - his form for Casey is none too shabby so it's looking good so far.

His attitude is a bit like Jack Riewoldt used to be. Comes with being a competitive beast. You have to accept the whole package which will moderate in time. Reckon he would like to be a body line fast bowler.

That blow up doll is slightly disturbing

Tangles was a very good kick as I remember.

I would be surprised if T Mac doesn't stay, Watts delay is probably by mutual agreement and Hogan is still contracted beyond this year so it's all explainable.

Spoil sport.

I'm liking this bloke more and more.

Great attitude, good size and looks to know how to get the footy and then use it. Can't wait to see him with Petracca and Vanders

I prefer McKenzies menthoids

I would love to be the one eating humble pie

Ain't delusions grand

It's my family's fault. The affliction is congenital not acquired

I genuinely hope you are all right. Negativity comes with territory from being a fan since 1965. I must admit to be really excited by our current list and football department. It is reassuring having PJ around to handle negotiations.

I would like to know how many stay when they say they will decide at seasons end - close to 0% I would think. Hard not to be cynical.

I bet James Harmes gets some games.

Looks like Cale Morton

He'll be a star when he hits puberty

it doesn't make sense comparing Cotchin to Jones - very different types of players. In terms of value to his side on a week to week basis I'd choose Chunk any day of the week.

I was a bit surprised when Lloyd on Footy Classified said that the Dees wouldn't be disadvantaged because Melksham is just a depth player. I don't think that is how we see it- you don't give depth players 4 year contracts. Smacks of sour grapes to me. Lloyd hasn't disconnected enough from Essendrug to provide credible commentary

looks to have it all - good hands, speed and agility, good kick on both sides. May well have been the reason we cashed in next years pick. Can't wait to see Sam and Hogan together on our forward line. Delicious!

For Gods sake........

Looks like Caitlin Jenner

Shaun needed Grecian 2000 when he was playing for us.

He's got a good boot and looks balanced. Plenty to like. Considering pick 25 in this draft looks likely to be a lottery, not a bad deal.
