Maybe I'm on my own here but I don't get the hype on Papley, perhaps I just haven't watched many Swans games either this year. It seems we want Weightman so buggered if I know.

Why help GWS out anyway when we are potentially competing against them for what we hope is a top 4 spot next year. I'd say, heres pick 3, we want finlayson, pick 6, then take 6 and 8 to the draft. Tomlinson, Langdon, Finlayson, Pick 6 and pick 8. Not a bad day out for only losing Frost. A pick in the 20-30 range next year in a shallow draft is useless.

Agree. No way I’d accept the GWS first rounder next year, I’d be peed off actually. It’ll be in the 20’s, essentially a second rounder and complete suicide giving up on this draft. I can’t see us doing any other deal with them unless it’s 6 and a top player, one of their forwards. We need young top end talent, stars, or they can give up Cameron. F em’

@WERRIDEE CAN WE GET A BEST 22?

Didn't they swap those picks yesterday?

ANB is trash.

He's an upgrade on ANB and a few others though.

Agree, I think it's becoming a real issue now and the AFL must step in and support. Yeah Lewis, Lever and May are cool but when was the last time we snared a genuine match winner? Has to be a turn off for sure?

The thing that concerns me with the club (Josh and recruiters) is we don't really seem to be going hard on match winners. This year we are likely to pick up two guys (Tomlinson and Langdon) who we've been linked to for a couple of years, Elliot was another that we were interested in for ages. In previous years we have gone with the easy Casey path. Where is our next Jeremy Cameron, Dangerfield, Tom Lynch etc? We have been crying out for pace, skills and small forwards for years, I'm starting to doubt Taylor and Mahoney to be honest. There are plenty of players who would be upgrades to what we have yet we are never linked to them. Ronke, Butler and Townend improve us straight up and bring IP. It's almost like they're not giving 100%. Anyway, I'll wait to see what they deliver when the dust settles, however Langdon is a butcher and Tomlinson is a plodder imo.

No from me, but I can't see why we can't add Ben Ronke from the Swans. Then add Dan Butler and Jacob Townsend. It doesn't sound like we are trying very hard at all for much this trade period, definitely needs smalls and even a KPF.

A bit of a worry really, thats 3 of the better ones gone.

Cyril, Poppy at his peak.

Yet he was moved back and dropped late in the year. Also no ANB, yet got a two year extension....

Lol they still get pick 1 and 2 this year

Is a premiership window similar to a premiership clock?

We are so lucky to not have that thug Jeremy Cameron playing for us.

Brad Scott got a job with the AFL a few weeks ago I heard?

What was his role in 13,14,15? Hawks played just as bad as us at times this year.

What were his key points Ash?

The same issues were all there last year, just people decided to drink the koolaid. I didn’t notice improvement, but I did see it deteriorate. Also I have said right from the start that injuries and no preseason were our biggest problem, since then Goodwin has also admitted fault in himself.

You're all just guessing without knowing facts and putting far too much faith in the failed Mahoney and the controlling Pert. Are the decisions the right ones? Jennings is highly praised across the industry, McCartney also. When does Josh fall on his own sword? Goodwin is the poorest tactical game day coach in the league and these clowns signed him up before the start of this season? Trust them if you wish to, but they'd want to deliver in 2020.

Nah, it's very bizarre. Would you take on a job not knowing what it was? Never. It actually doesn't even phase me really, because I know Goodwin won't listen to Richardson from what I gather.

I find the Richardson situation bizarre and poorly communicated to be honest. The club and Alan know what his role is, he would've been offered something to consider and make a decision, why the club isn't telling members/supporters is a bit weird. He didn't just come onboard and find out his role later.....
