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.

6 of his 9 years at AFL level he has been injury prone. Lumumba has never been injured and played more than 100 games than Clark. Who are Collingwood going to give to get Dangerfield?

We should have already had him (or the Smith's) but we made the recruiting blunder of the century by picking up Cook. That [censored] Prendergast should be charged for bringing the game into disrepute with his drafting.

Why is Lumumba past his best but Clark isn't considering they are the same age and Clark has hardly played for 3 years? I think it would be a fair straight swap. At least Lumumba has a proven record of staying on the park unlike Clark.

I don't think that means much. If we have another poor season I can't think of a reason why he would stay, he wants success.

Frawley will go to Hawthorn. They are a better side and they have the money to splash around with the loss of Buddy. If Jones leaves I expect he'll go to Hawthorn as well. The AFL will change the rules if that happens as we will be in serious trouble if Jones leaves.

Geelong are fading. Hawthorn are the team we should be worried about.

Beams is good but he's not that good. Pick 4 should be enough. Usual Collingwood just wait for a round 7 pick for Clark and they will demand pick 2 for Lumumba.

Dangerfield is going to Melbourne. Andrew Jarman told me himself so it's a done deal.

Jarman's a clown. No one can take him seriously surely?

That's what Roos has to develop him into. A goal kicking half forward who can pinch hit in the middle, he has one thing going for him and that is he is a good mark for his size. He is too slow and injury prone to be a regular midfielder.

We didn't get a PP due to having players like Riley and Toumpas? Have the AFL seen them play? The AFL is a joke. We better get band 1 compo for Frawley or I'm gonna go nuts. We can't get any priority picks but the top clubs can steal our players for bugger all? How is that fair?

I think we should keep Fitzpatrick as back up for Jamar, Gawn and Spencer who are all injury prone.

He was exciting early but faded dramatically in the last half of the season, being used as a sub often didn't help him. He needs a big preseason.

He can never get out onto the park time to delist him.

I'm not sold on him, his last half of the year was like the Pederson of old. If he's still playing senior football next year we are in trouble.

He's not up to it delist him. I can't believe he has a contract.

He's the next Weetra. Never should of got a new contract.

I'd like us to trade pick 3 for Mitchell and Zak Jones. The Swans don't have a backup ruckman to help out Pyke which is about their only weakness. We give them pick 3 so they can take Wright and we have 2 midfielders that will walk into our side. It's a win\win situation and the Swans can afford to lose a midfielder or 2 because they get to up Heeney in the first round. I'd also like to see us trade Watts for Lumumba and Collingwood's 2nd round pick. We need players that can break lines and Lumumba can give us that, while Watts gives us nothing. Our team could look like this B: McDonald, Dunn, Jetta HB: Grimes, Garland, Lumumba C: Brayshaw, Mitchell, Zak Jones HF: Vince, Dawes, Viney F: Howe, Hogan, Kent FOLL: Jamar, Tyson, Nathan Jones IC: Cross, Salem, Gawn, Trengove Suddenly we look like we have midfield depth with Lumumba, Mitchell, Brayshaw, Jones and Trengove in the team and if Howe can stand up as the 3rd tall and Hogan produce the football we think he can then maybe we can climb up the ladder.
