WERRIDEE

Beams is a gun and if he's available we should be going for him. We should be always going for the best available talent, if it bites us on the ass it bites us on the ass. Every pick or trade has the potential to bite us on the ass It doesn't mean we should be going for a worse player just because he could be a safer bet.

Name me a slow outside player that is any good? because that's what he is.

Woewodin was woeful at Collingwood, was over paid and done nothing after his Brownlow year, Powell hurt us more. McDonald did hurt us a lot though, we never even tried to replace him.

A slow outside midfielder who can't get any inside ball and is injury prone for pick 10 or 12, what's not to like? We lack leg speed, GWS showed us up in that aspect. We are addressing that with the recruitment of Garlett, Lumumba and Stretch. Hopefully we can get another speedster like Ahern with that pick.

Rubbish. He had no idea what he was doing and this is coming from his very own daughter. What defensive strategies we leaked goals?

Hogan can't do it on his own. I obviously don't hold much faith in Pederson helping him out.

How good are the GWS recruiters? Pick 2 to 19 in the space of 2 years, almost makes our recruiting look good. Fat Phil Scully is definitely earning his money.

That wold be a terrible idea. Hrovat is just an average player to give away our best chance of getting a star for him doesn't make sense. Pick 6 is really pick 8 considering where Heeney and Moore were nominated. St.Kilda said there is a fair gap between Petracca, McCartin, Brayshaw and Wright and the rest.

Pederson as our key forward, Christ we desperately need McCartin.

Pick 23 is far too high for Frost. What has he done? We already have 3 tall backs, 4 would make our backline far too tall. Who makes way for him?

How many key defenders do you want? We already have Dunn, Garland, McDonald and probably Frost. We need a key forward and midfielders, we don't need a skinny defender that's done his knee.

Garlett couldn't get a kick in the VFL this year. I don't think we should be overrating him.

Have faith in Taylor. He's not Barry "I don't want to watch games of football in case I make a mistake" Prendergast. I don't understand why people think St.Kilda desperately need McCartin but we don't? Dawes kicked only 20 goals and Frawley has left, we need a key forward. We were very lucky to get Tyson, if he wasn't always injured we probably never would have got him. Chances of being that lucky again would be remote.

Where is the 4 years at $450k coming from? In haven't seen it anywhere, was it on Footy Classified? It doesn't make sense the Hawks have the money and why wouldn't they be giving him 5 years like the rest have?

What does he need to get to get band 1?

Why will Frawley only get a 4 year deal at 450k? Are they already trying to fit Jones into the cap for 2016? We won't get any special circumstance pick from AFL.

Injuries aren't his problem, he had 1 and a bit years when he was injury prone the rest have been relatively injury free. The problem with him is he can't find the ball, even at his best he averaged just 16 disposals and his last 2 years he's averaged just 12 and 14 disposals. Unfortunately this will probably be the best deal we can get so Clark has screwed us again. Clark for Lumumba was definitely a better deal. We move Grimes into the middle and Varcoe goes to half back and becomes the next Gary Rohan.

The Hawks have Bruce, Yze and Cheney at the club, it's not as if he won't know anybody there. Frawley is known as a poor decision maker if he goes to Geelong it would be another poor decision.

St.Kilda will go for best available. They have a woeful midfield as well so they will pick Petracca unless McCartin or Wright put on freakishly, sensational displays at the draft combine. If I was GWS I would be wanting more than pick 1 for him.

a) Why do they want to leave? b) What do we give them? Is pick 2 and 3 too much? It will have to be a better deal than the one landed us Tyson because they are proven quality players.

You would have to give picks 2 and 3 for Cameron at the very least and Petracca will go pick 1.

They might go for Dangerfield considering they don't have a salary cap it's not out of the question.

I don't know about that. The Swans looked awfully slow today which is a big reason why Mitchell isn't getting a game.

We were (and still are) crying out for running half back\wingman and we bypassed 3 of them in Atley, Brodie Smith and Isaac Smith for a skinny, slow third tall with mental problems. Amazingly stupid recruiting.

Lynch was pick 11, just before Cook at 12.
