Stuff that, I want another wooden spoon, I love the pain.

I know that mate, but I was replying to GNF who said There is little to no downside currency risk, which there is. What if Freo say right, here is pick 8, take it or leave it? We don't have a leg to stand on. I'm surprised the club hasn't put this to bed yet if he's staying and even more surprised we haven't heard from Jesse.

Well neither am I, was just replying to SWYL

I would rather a flag with Josh Kelly

Doesnt Jesse's mum already live in Melbourne though......?

Freo would hold the cards next year, there's always the threat of the draft, I'd rather pick 5 and 6 this year thanks, at least we know what we'll get.

But we won't get 2 x top 10 picks next year for Hogan, that's the point and has been all along.

How did Hogan getting traded turn into a taxation argument......? lol

It's a sword fight between Denham and Langdon, both unwanted species. We will find out later today either way.

Don't worry, Preuss will boot 100+ next year boys.

If Josh Kelly comes to the Dees, I will throw on a barrel, pig on the spit and a bonfire. Bring it on.

Demonland has gone cray cray

47 goals doesnt have to come from 1 player. Lets say, 30 from Weid, a full season from TMAC might net another 10, Spargo may kick 20, Petracca may improve his goalkicking, Gawn may rest forward more with Preuss etc. We may lose some firepower, but we may also strengthen our backline, we will find a way I'm sure.

Dangerfield was a free agent, no contract to Crows?

If North get Gaff and Polec, they won't be getting Kelly, so it's delicious already!

NAB contracts are 2 years from drafting but can be broken, Schache is the most recent example from memory who signed an extension then was traded shortly after, so Cerra can be in play if my research is correct.

Picks 4 and 5 would bring in Josh Kelly, picks 10 and 15 wouldn't. Picks are critical, if we want top end talent coming in.

Yes and Yes, I think TMAC is behind him on $700k, JH currently $800k and would be pushing for 7 figures.

Has anyone actually seen Steven May play?

We need skill, damn skill I tell ya, people who can hit a target, what you lack in pace can be made up for in foot skills.

I don't buy into the injured card, he played fine in between against poor sides.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Danger was a free agent and Geelong didn't need to give anything up, at Dangers request he demanded that Crows were looked after, so they were given draft picks.

We beat WCE, GWS, Geel and HAW without Hogan, we've got to remember that also. His record against the better teams was poor.

Yes that's correct DZ.

Draft picks are not overrated, the draft itself is. Draft picks get you stars like Kelly, Hogan, Whitfield etc.
