DistrACTION Jackson

Great idea..... I guess Astronaught could be one of them

I would be ecstatic if this happened, but I just can't see why the Dogs would be willing to trade him while contracted. Unless there's been a falling out between him and Beveridge...

Are you sure? Haven't seen him on any lists. An article I read says he's contracted for 2 years.

Former top 10 pick and ready to go. Would happily give up a pick between 10-20 for him.

ahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahha

Given my track record of players leaving I'm going completely left field next time. Too much of an emotional toll changing my name every time....

Not winning a flag a year after winning a flag has fried some people's brains. We are either the greatest team ever or we need to cut everyone and start over.... there's no inbetween

I'd like to see us identify the areas we aren't strong at and look to bolster these. We all know we have an outstanding contested possession side and midfield. In my mind we lack in areas such as speed, skill and ball movement. A fit Salem and year older Bowey will go someway to fixing this, but I would like to see us try find some additional players either through the draft or trades with elite foot skills. Obviously a KPF is an area of weakness, though there doesn't seem to be many on the market so we may have to make due with JVR and whatever we have. Gunston is obviously another that could be a good option for further forward depth, plus he has worked in high performing forward lines in the past so could bring some great ideas.

He's contracted isn't he? So we don't have to trade him if we don't want to. Potentially we will be happy to get his contract off the books, but it might leave us thin on KPP.

I saw Rivers and Neita there as well.

The other thing that's exciting is how much size he has put on in his first season. Can't wait to see what he looks like after his second pre-season.

I was just about to post that I wouldn't mind if we gave him a rookie spot

After watching that documentary on the trade period, that Colin Young bloke looked like a complete nuffie. All the other agents were much more professional and actually got things done.

Very true. If we take out his first two years when he was only young and starting out, he has averaged 19.37 games per year and that includes his 6 this year. If we remove this year then it is an average of 21.28 over 7 years. That is impressive.

As long as we can get a pick around number 5, would be happy with either Cadman or Sheezel as both fill a need. A KPF or a classy half forward/winger.

Have they discussed the machinations of the trades yet? Can't wait to hear Damian Barrett break that down for 7 hours straight.

I'm with you there....

haha wow. If he leaves as well our amazing 2019 draft will be a distant memory.

News of the Queen's death must've hit him hard

I just don't understand why we wouldn't throw our hat in the ring for Taranto instead of Grundy and pick up a cheap ruck/forward option. Can never have enough gun mids and I rate Taranto higher than Hopper.

Tbf we had pretty much no injuries last year. This year we've had Lever, Gawn, Mcdonald, Salem, Petty all miss significant chunks or play through injury. We had nothing like that last year.

Laurie re-signed this year I'm pretty sure. I reckon after another pre-season he will play some games next year. Think he just needs to build up his tank a bit more, but I think he will be a player for us long term.

It is pretty frustrating watch us lose to the same teams (Swans and Pies), who play similar styles, multiple times in identical ways.

Would much rather a bloke like Dunstan going at 100% (after a week off) and crashing in hard than Trac hobbling around trying to play as best he can. We need to have a team full of players that are ready to play at finals intensity and if they aren't it's not worth the risk.

Can confirm May wasn't there thankfully....
