For all the fair criticism WCE and ESS get, time to start putting the heat on COLL. Definitely no angels.

Agree, I should've said strong around the hips instead of explosive, he definitely isn't quick. I really do hope he becomes the player we all thought he'd become, I haven't seen it yet.

Agree, but I was talking about his kicking in general, not a one off. We drafted him as a mid too, which is where I hope he ends up, so explosive and good in close.

Petracca’s kicking elite? Not even close. His kicking really needs to improve a lot, especially his goal kicking. One cameo a game doesn’t put you in the same category as Salem, Melksham.

My mail is he wants to go back to the Hawks

Cats, if we win we finish 5th. 5 v 8. Lose and we're away to GWS 5 v 8. I'd prefer Cats at the G, just to drive the dagger into Chris Scott.

Do you reckon Hawks fans will be a bit peeved? http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-22/dud-against-hawks-kennett-pokes-the-buddy-bear#/

Jackson Merrett from Essendon, not being offered another contract.

If we lose to GWS we will likely play them in the first final.

My worst are: WCE ADEL PORT FREM ESS HAW/COLL

Interesting that OMAC hasn't signed yet? What WCE payed McGovern was pretty top line and unbelievable.

North are desperate, didnt they offer Dusty and Josh Kelly astronomical amounts last year? And Polec $750,000 this year. We'll soon soon what his values are, if it's cash then good thing he doesn't come but it's his job and future also.

Rumour has it WCE have offered 6 x $850,000, naturally I'm unsure if true. NM have apparently offered 7 x $1.2m

Very good player, his 2010 GF was brilliant, would have served a purpose a few years ago, but not at 34. I do think we need to consolidate our older guys with a new lot though.

Is Collingwood in a pre-lim possible, I'll take them please!

I don't think they'll replace OMAC, hes had a pretty good season as a whole with some blunders in the middle. I think Buggs papers are stamped but who knows, Spargo does seem tired but he had some good moments and has been playing the system. But, it's a raffle.

unsure if your post was directed at me Dr as it mentions things from my post, but just to clarify, I have never let my anxiety or frustration out on any player at the games. I usually sit there quietly with radio in ear and cheer the good moments, I use Demonland to vent like many others, but am always supportive.

Looking forward to this one, the lid is off.

Geelong are interested.

Very sad. What a great player he was, one of the best I've seen. Not sure how he drags himself out of it though?

Having said this, I just remembered Essendon are into Dylan Shiel, so that may be why also.

Jeez GWS have some depth, even with injuries. They still have Kelly, Shiel, Coniglio, Whitfield in amongst the rest. Himmelberg has been going OK and Lobb in the ruck has been pretty good. Won't be an easy game but think we'll run away with it. A good chance to look at who we can steal off them also, they won't be able to retain them all.

I have a feeling that Essendon moving Goddard on has something to do with this, hopefully we are still in the hunt? From memory reports had us as one of the first involved, would be disappointing to lose him at the final moment.
