I wish Clarry moved like shinkansen! I have him more in the "James" from Thomas the tank engine category. More of a solid worker than a jet.

Collingwood for me. We have 5 of our 12 flags against that mob. Not only that, but that rivalry was once the white v blue collar clubs back in the day. Amazing to think we are the battlers these days!

GWS will become a destination club for players wanting a flag. Last time I checked Kelly hadn't won a flag...he isn't heading anywhere anytime soon. Usual off season bull dust journalism

The Wiz is one of my all time favourites growing up. To think my boy could grow up watching his boy in red and blue is special.

Just a side note, I expect Hibberd is around the 300-400k mark, so they might require another move also to free up space)

The longer the Jaeger deal drags on the cheaper Hibberd becomes. If GC and the hawks can't broker a deal, Jaeger goes into the PSD with a 700k price tag on his head. If Essendon want him, they need to have 700k in cap space. If the Jaeger negotiations break down Essendon will need to dump Hibberd to free up 700k for Jaeger. If they carry Hibberd they are less likely to be able to sign Jaeger. The dees are playing this very well.

Keilty was impressive for Casey in the games I got to see. At 21 yo he is the perfect rookie list candidate. It's a shame to hear we may have already passed on taking him.

I'm starting to think his retirement would be a good thing. I feel for the guy but for me he is the odd man out with a developing back 6 and the addition of hibberd. I can't see him getting games in 2017 or 2018 ( if his contact is as long as suggested) unless we are crippled with injuries.

I haven't seen enough of him to be swayed either way. Averaging 16 disposals a game this year, and is only 20 years of age. If the price is right then why not.

If he wants a flag he should join GWS. They have the assets to deal and Freo are already into a few of their players.

One of Garland or Dunn will be offered up for trade. Lumumba is an interesting case. One year to run on his deal and has probably been replaced in the best 22.

To make matters worse, some of our older and more experienced players are some of our must vulnerable. Remove grimes, dawes from the list and there goes another few hundred games.

We could have used him this season with Salem out and our back 6 undergoing a restructure. His experience will be handy but I am keeping my expectations in check.

Wow, this hamstring injury has plagued him this year. Another 4-6 probably means we don't see him playing senior footy this season.

If Hogan left us, it would be a dumb move on his part. We are surging forward with without him. I prefer with but I am confident we will find a way to win without him.

Or everyone on demonland donates 50c to get him a membership. Wouldn't take long given how many active members we have. My old man has been a member for nearly 40 years, and I can tell you that if it came down to school fees and membership I would have gone without school books. Hocko must be a great parent to give up his first love of the MFC for his family.

Early days yet, but he does look the goods. Certainly looks like he has top end talent.

I'm not concerned with Parish's height. 180 is fine for a midfielder.

Interesting signing. I know nothing at all about him! I will be down at Casey so I will see how he develops next season.

Cubbies are cooked. Looking like a Jays v mets world series.

I just can't get excited about this trade. I admire those demonlanders who have put a positive spin on it, but I'm just not seeing it. Good luck to Melksham, I wish him well. I just can't see him making any difference. Hopefully Macca can unlock whatever potential Goodwin sees in him.

No idea who he is, but the idea of trading for McCarthy is nuts. We are worried about hogan being a flight risk, why would you add another?? Imagine selling the farm for Cam only to watch him and hogan [censored] off to WA.

Jeez, our second round pick is overs. The Demons are like the eager to please kid in the school yard. They roll over to please the popular kids (Collingwood, essendon) Can't recall a good outcome trading with essendon or Collingwood. They always sneak one past us. They would be loving a second rounder for melksham.

My father in law is a mad Essendon man, and as a result I have had to sit through many essendon games on TV. I simply don't understand why we are going to fork out $$$ for Melksham. He isn't the player we are looking for, and a second rounder or Toumpas to then bring in melksham at 400k for 4 years isn't making us any better. Maddening!

Pick 6 is a mid if we keep it. Wouldn't be surprised if we traded out of the first and second round if the right deal comes up. Weideman will be solid, but I can't see him going as early as pick 6 if we held on to that pick.
