DistrACTION Jackson

I doubt the ones being moved on are Demonland favorites...... otherwise they wouldn't be moved on.

I'm glad the club doesn't leak like a sinking ship anymore but I wonder who we are targeting.....

It was more tongue in cheek. Well I've heard Dangerfield, Henderson, Selwood so far. I hope we make a play for either Bennell or Motlop.

Half of the AFL is off to Geelong. Not sure how they will get all the deals done in 3 weeks!

You would delist Michie ahead of Bail? Madness.

May want a change of scenery though. I'd definitely look at him as a UFA on a one year contract due to the drug scandal.

If we can get Tomlinson for our 2nd rounder that would be a huge win. Long term replacement for Dawes, and likely to replace him straight away....

What do people think Motlop is worth should we try and trade for him? I'd probably look at something like our first and 2nd pick for Motlop and their first pick back. Thoughts on that trade? The cats desperetaly need to replenish their list with 8 players over 30 on their list.

That's the problem…. no one will. He is at best a depth forward, we really need to find another tall forward, maybe Weideman?

I think we've pretty much done that over the last 3 drafts: Hogan Salem Brayshaw Petracca VandenBerg McDonald Stretch ANB JKH Viney Kent And that's not taking into account a few other players who may also play a big part moving forward: King, White, Toumpas, Hunt , Harmes. And add who we've brought in: Tyson, Garlett, Frost. That's a fairly good nucleus moving forward.

It's all well and good for clubs like North and Richmond to offer Treloar big money but they are also going to have to satisfy GWS. With our first pick and Howe we should have that covered....

Looking at Sam Day's averages they seem fairly underwhelming. Average disposals per game: 9.3 Average marks per game: 3.2 Average goals per game: 0.7 He was pick number 3 it's surprising he hasn't had as much bad publicity as Watts..... but then who has?

I think they are talking about LEWIS Jetta not Neville.

If we could add him and someone like Scott Selwood as free agents, plus our first round pick it could go a long way to us making finals next season.

Definitely think he will be in the mix for us.

He's been on the rookie list for half a season? You're a tough man Stuie.... if you were head of our list management I'd imagine we would turn over 20 players a season.

What about this trade: Mebourne: Pick 1 (likely 4 or 5), Pick 2 and Howe GWS: Conglio, Tomlinson, Hampton Would they go for it?

I wonder if Barlow would be gettable. He seems to be out of favour as a pure mid and is being played of a HFF. Could do with him running through the middle!

Maybe we can keep this going until we've marked them all off. Maybe then we can feel like the team is moving forward!

Though Toumpas did have a poor game against the Bombers I'm definitely not gonna write him off. The first two NAB cup games he only played a total of 61% game time and still managed to record 34 touches from the two games plus 9 tackles. These are pretty decent numbers and I'm hoping with a full season he can average somewhere around 22-24 touches a game this season.

That would probably be his biggest challenge, changing body shape and losing some kg's

I'm happy either way. We could do with both a power forward and another mid. Love having picks 2 and 3 but look forward to the day we have pick 18 instead.

We can't lose. We either get two good mids who compliment each other. Or we get a good mid and a big forward.

I am so glad we don't have to pick between McCartin and Petracca. Very happy to take whoever Saints don't.

I liked the write up about Petracca where it mentioned he worked hard to lose 6 kg or something so he could run through the midfield. Always good to look at players who have to work hard at the junior levels as they often have what it takes. I really hope we end up with this guy just seems like he will be such a powerful mid, but wouldn't mind Brayshaw either
