I suspect the majority of this forum will be hoping we keep our high draft picks instead

Rachele has kicked 30 as a 21 year old, and has a decade of footy ahead. I'm not advocating that trade, I'm just pointing out that defensive pressure isn't a reason to not recruit someone. And the club could trade Fritsch and we'd be no different on that end.

So if we trade Fritta for Rachelle it comes out the same as it does now?

This time last year, were all imagining this would be Harrison Petty's 2024 highlight reel

Not likely. This thread is the place where everyone congregates for the next two months. There's always one!

RIP. Very sad and surreal to hear about his passing at such a young age. I also started watching the midweek tackle recently and thought it was a pretty good show, dont always agree with their opinions, but appreciated the way the show was hyper focussed in going through every single story and player and team discussion of the day without the negativity or looseness of other shows. Engaging to watch a footy discussion and he was definitely a good voice to have on there when he discussed his thoughts. Damn, life is precious folks. Hug your loved ones :(

You got it (The Wright Stuff)

We'd be robbing Peter Wright to play Graham

In still trying to work out who KFW is? King F Wit?

I don't think we're getting 6, 7 and one of the best rucks in the comp... Would be closer to 6, 7 and a packet of chips. So maybe a future 2nd instead. Throw in Tim Membrey too.

I clicked on here thinking he was a kid we might pick with our 1st rounder. Shows how much I watch the Eagles.

He's only ever played a big final against us in 22 lol ....And inducted himself into: The Kent Kingsley Memorial Society of Spuds Who Play Well Against Melbourne

Yes. Replace Alan Richardson. Fresh ideas

Saints will get josh battle compo and have Picks 5, 6, 23 and Future picks by the look of it. Tracc at the Saints: Flag Kilda 2025.

I knew I'd seen that move before...

Dan Houston just killed a bloke. Knock a first rounder off the price

It will be pick 10 by the time we win next week. May as well just give it and ANB to Port for Dan Houston.

Pick 4 and 5 (Josh battle compo) would be a much more enticing proposition for the club. The Saints would have to be bonkers to do it though, but then again, maybe they think they're one ready made superstar away from putting it all together. Maybe Ross Lyon wants to get back into the finals asap. Stranger things have happened!

Not that its happening, but Max Holmes and your two first rounders at a minimum

Start a rumour about the club looking at signing Jake Stringer if you're missing everyone

So just fill the coaches box with crash test dummies next to Goodwin?

The Jesus Freaks and the Party Animals? NO wait that was Gold Coast!

Angus being made to coach the forward line ....

Wasn't it Chaplin initially hired as a forward coach? Edit "Recently retired Richmond defender Troy Chaplin has joined Melbourne's coaching panel as an offensive co-ordinator."

Wouldn't surprise me, these ex-lions players under Leigh Mathews seem to stick to their Pride. That's why I've never held much realistic hope in Leppitsch coming to Dees as an assistant. Head coach is another story of course.
