You can't trade Watts and not trade Garlett imo. Papers stamped. I hope someone is willing to give us a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Does anyone have an approximation on how much of an offer we would have actually been able to put forward?

Or we could play 4th placed Russian roulette in the event of our slim chances of a win over WCE. So this week you hope for a Port win over the Pies & A GWS win over Sydney. Next week: Sydney win over Hawthorn & WCE win over Brisbane. This means GWS are immoveably locked in 3rd pre-r23 and a win gets us 4th. Optional improbable extra: St K d Haw this week & Freo d Coll next week. Those upsets would also clear up the way for 4th (making Port d Coll & Syd d Haw unnecessary) *We can also get 3rd if GWS lose 0/2 and Haw, Syd & Coll all lose 1/2

Yeah. I guess i got caught up in it being similar dimensions to the MCG than where we've played them in the past at Subi. Which is a little on the agenda in how we cope with their spread.

*Similar to the MCG

You forgot the Footy IQ category 137 - 85

Maybe we could squeeze out one of their players. Ben Jacobs is arguably the leagues best tagger and hasn't re-signed. He obviously has concussion issues right now, but we do have a good track record with Brayshaws recovery so far.

I think he survives because of Garletts performance, can't be playing musical chairs with the forward line. Plain and simple

I'd complain a fair bit about him as a teen when he couldnt take marks, but my dad would often correct me by telling me that he was there primarily to crash packs and bring it to ground.

The best CHB vs The worst CHF (Developmentally) He'll be eaten alive

They probably took it as seriously as Bayley fritsch did

Seems like a waste of a player/coaches continuing chronology to not bump an old thread. So i google the "name and demonland" to see if one has been made before and notice it is quite interesting in hindsight and perhaps it would be of some interest to others, at least for a laugh!

You're a masochist DZ. That sounds like 20 minutes of my life i'd want back.

My question is. What if they're comfortable giving Tom Barass a go on TMAC, and throwing Jeremy McGovern on Weideman? We'd be absolutely [censored].

StKilda in 2012 with 123% - I looked it up after the Hawthorn/Collingwood games as I knew with our run home, it was looming. A thread was created on reddit a few days ago as the possibility has finally dawned on the entire competition.

Ideally Hogan plays an Adel-Tom Lynch type of roaming HF. He was doing it in the first half of the year, i'm confused as to why he hasn't been doing it in the second half? Foot injury would explain why it seems

Interesting stat about 4 goals in 5 games against top 8 teams. Not averse to exploring the Dylan Shiel idea more. Absolute gun. But he seems like captain material though so I think he'll stay.

@Rod Grinter Riot Squad Still with me on the idealism despite all evidence to the contrary? We beat WCE. Port d Coll GWS d Syd Syd d Haw GWS locked in 3rd with Coll/Haw falling out of the 4 Melb d Greater Resting Giants It will require us again tip teams who are on our hammer and could knock us out of the 8 if we lose to WCE. Apologies to @SaberFang for more naive idealism!

Well I reckon your parents deserve a premiership drought, perhaps grandparents have deserved all of those premierships though? Hawthorn were the least successful VFL club for their first 45 years. No finals from 1925 to 1957 I believe? Suffering repayed. I'd like some repayments on my 30 years of nothin'

Maybe you're reaping the karma for having bandwagon parents? I know my dad became a Melbourne fan as a youngster because they were successful and it was an easy choice in the late 50's and 60's. My grandparents barracked for other clubs.

Collingwood were the only winners in that 3-way with Varcoe still playing. So with that in mind, maybe we should request one of their high draft pick young indigenous players. Nakia Cockatoo perhaps.

Let go at seasons end, perhaps we could bring him in and attain some of that Clarko IP?

It's a fascinating conundrum for them. If we beat WCE, then a win over GWS would put us in 5th. 4th if Collingwood and Hawthorn lose 1 of their matches. Port or Freo, Stk or Sydney. If super lucky, then GWS may even be locked in 3rd pre-game. There is hope afterall. This week is a massive game and it's quite funny now that we're away from the G, that there is a faint hope. I feel like a junkie wanting one more hit..

The definition of insanity would be staking your emotions on how a bunch of 18-25 year olds perform at their workplace ?
