Hope not. 5 and 9 is a nice spot, we need both quality and quantity

Could we slide back? 5 for Saints 8 and 27 or something to that effect

Travalgia may come into consideration at 9, adds speed, replaces Riv at half back

Haha not bad. If Cal starts mentioning fish I will be concerned.

For what it's worth, Cal Twomey is one of the few journalists whose info I would take as gospel, especially the draft related stuff

STIFFY ALERT!

Saints keen, a new favourite emerges? Also, Hawks now looking to trade into pick 13...after trading away pick 14?

F1

Norf targeting Essendon's pick 9 according to the Age Also suggestion a bid highly likely to come from Melbourne (5), Richmond (6 via Rioli), or Saints (7 & 8) for Kako

Reckon Clazz's mind can be changed on just about anything if you gave him a yo-yo and a lollipop as a convincer

Well give us something juicy then Normie!

Usually we get a better result when plan A doesn't go our way Going to the draft is a win even if our hand was forced from the Houston stuff Part of me did understand Richardson's logic at the time though, we lost Jordon, Harmes, Brayshaw, Grundy and replaced them with kids for the most part Or in Gus' case, didn't replace him with anyone given the timing of his retirement

Juicy

Hope its 40 + F1, rather than 28 + F1 5, 13, 28 would be mint

Hearing from an excellent source that Clarry has requested a trade from Geelong to Melbourne

You'd have to think either the Dons have told us to bugger off and/or they have a better offer elsewhere, so we've turned our attention to 13

Hawks putting P14 on the table

Small midfielder without many tricks

I thought the load of [censored] bit sufficed

via The Age Clayton Oliver has started his own pre-season early, as the 27-year-old clings on to hope that Melbourne will trade him to Geelong before next Wednesday’s deadline. The four-time Melbourne best and fairest has been spotted several times in his home town of Shepparton this week, training weights and running. A source at Geelong, who wasn’t willing to speak publicly given that Oliver still has six years of his contract still to run at Melbourne, said the star midfielder was willing to take a pay cut if it helped get a deal across the line. ....But Melbourne’s strong stance has not dampened the appetite of Oliver, who remains in contact with the Cats. A pay cut may help the Demons reconsider a trade, but two club sources remained staunch when contacted by this masthead on Thursday. They said a deal to move Oliver to the Cats would not be entertained. Oliver is contracted until the end of 2030 at an average of $1.3 million per season. While all three parties – Melbourne, Geelong and Oliver’s management – have privately confirmed that the Cats’ future first-round pick in next year’s national draft had been initially raised, they say there is yet to be a meaningful trade offer beyond that.

Don't mention the war!

Our smalls excluding Pickett are very ordinary
