If we're trading JT and JH out I would expect 3 second rounders in return (then we can upgrade that for pick 8)

We theoretically only need to land two second rounders to be able to upgrade to Pick 8 (Pick 7 will be used to get another academy player so don't need to pay the extra points). If we trade Howe to the filth for 24 (pick they receive from the saints for Freeman) and pick 26 (their second rounder) then we will have amassed a total of 1514 points. If we then package this up with our Pick 64 (4th rounder equal to 101 points) then we get a grand total of 1615 points which is more than the 1551 points needed for Pick 8. This would leave our third rounder to net Bugg (only worth that), but it means we would struggle to get Kennedy (who we're obviously keen on), that could be brought about by a separate trade where we gain a late second rounder/early third rounder i.e. Toump to satisfy the filth. Josh Mahoney you can sign here __________.

The media are saying that Coll are holding out for a 2nd rounder but I don't see that as a fair trade here. I reckon a 3rd rounder would be adequate + I don't want Coll to get another bloody win by continually grinding other clubs down until they give in. Thoughts?

Hypothetical: There's been some talk about Lachie Weller wanting to come to VIC Would you do a straight swap of Howe for Weller??

Anyone know whats happening with RE his rookie situation?

Wait we did?? Any figures mentioned?

From what I saw of the last couple of rounds of him in GWS games, it looks like he has a pretty ordinary disposal

Any news as to why James Harmes hasn't signed a contract and been upgraded??

Have heard some serious rumours about us and Hamish Hartlett what are people's thoughts on him and what's he worth?

Has anyone else noticed the enormity of his calves??

Agree wholeheartedly WJ

Source??

Don't be blinded by your own bias against Watts please!

I am so bemused as to why Watts has been left out

Source?

Trengove, Grimes, Watts etc. are all examples of guys who weren't ready when they debuted. Give the selectors the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure they made the right call, wouldn't want to kill his career before it even began.

Well he deserves more now he's earned it. Relieved that you think he'll sign with the dees. Have a reliable source??

What's the story with Gawn anyone? Have the MFC offered him a contract and he's refusing to sign? Anyone with info would be appreciated!

Outs: JKH (needs to find form at Casey), ANB (Needs a rest) Ins: Grimes, Hunt (Replaces JKH as that small, quick, crumbing forward - this is provided the coaches think he's ready) Stretch as sub

why not Dawes out for Spencer in? And Spencer and Gawn can swap as the second tall forward

Always the way on demonland

I thought cross played on Sidebottom?

Any news about Viney????

It's just there has been absolutely no media coverage even from melbourne There was an article on Afl.com to say Howie had started contract negotiations but no sign from ol

Just been thinking to myself, everybody seems to be blowing up Jeremy Howe's OOC situation but very few people (on here or in the media) seem to be talking about Col Garland being OOC! Do people think that he'll stay and if so how much is he worth? In the form he's in I reckon he's worth around that $400,000 mark?
