Lots of speculation linking him to Essendon, but can't imagine GC would let him go cheaply. Another coming out of contract in 2019.

Had we held onto pick 2 in the 2013 draft, KK was just behind Billings on our rankings and would have well and truly been in the mix. We rated him pretty highly.

If we get 6 and 9, keep 6, trade 9 for May.

Hey mate, am well (hope you are too), disappointed about Saturday, but incredibly positive about the direction our still young list is moving in. Good to hear, rate Martin highly and hope we make some enquiries. Super idea.

Would be funny if Billings came back in this trade.

Martin's a WA kid, so not a go home case, possibly wants to get away from a dysfunctional environment. Would speak volumes about the mess at GC. Then there's Adelaide: http://aflnation.com.au/2018/09/24/forgotten-crows-star-linked-with-shock-richmond-move/

I'm hoping the Bombers spend all of their chips on Shiel. Sounds like Hawks have shifted focus to Wingard.

If there were a chance of getting Jack Martin, I'd be exploring every avenue: https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/09/23/could-another-star-sun-be-heading-back-to-victoria/

If we got to the point of discussing a trade with Freo, & two first rounders is the going rate, I’d be pushing for their highest pick this year and their 2019 1st rounder. Then get into Josh Kelly with two 2019 1st rounders in the bank to offer GWS if Kelly hasn’t re-signed by this time next year. And I'm very much in the 'keep Hogan' camp.

Are we playing off for the Andrew Gaff Cup as well as a spot in the GF?

Remember Mooney dominating around the ground for them too. Rocked up hoping we could emulate the miracle win at Kardinia Park that got us there, but the game looked over at quarter time. At least Robbo capped off his career year with 4. Not much else to take from the game for Dees fans. I think the Dees had spent their tickets getting to the finals in an epic run in. We also lost Neita in the final round win over Essendon.

Trengove and Scully were supposed to be the players to lead our club out of the doldrums at picks 1 & 2 of the 09 draft. Whilst they didn't work out for us, the 09 draft has given us (eventually) Melksham and Gawn, who are absolutely critical to September success.

An old workmate of mine used to play cricket at Maribyrnong Park when Walker was a junior. Walker was a very talented key position player who at the time had his pick of potential success in either footy or cricket. Some considered his talent comparable to Peter Wright at the same time. He came from a very cricket focused family, so footy didn't really get a look in. Clearly our recruiting team (Tim Lamb according to the article) kept tabs on him. His cricket career was derailed by injury issues, so I hopefully he can get his body right for footy. If he does, we may have pinched one. Edit: Wonder if the timing of Harley Balic's retirement had any connection with this announcement?

So this has us featuring on the Sunday afternoon game on Channel 7 all the way through to the end of the home & away season. And after an 8 day break this week on 7 day breaks all the way to the end of regular season. Nice.

Hear hear. Hope Dom has a trong finish to the season and gets the opportunty to play finals. Was very, very good for us when Roosy was head coach.

Probably just his manager putting a bit of pressure on Port to put a deal (or improve a deal) on the table, but hope we'd make an enquiry. Could definitely use his run and kicking skills. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-07-10/indemand-speedster-yet-to-commit-to-power

Bailey's been around the mark as a top 20 prospect coming into the Champs, and has held/improved his standing with some good, consistent footy. Can win his own ball, runs hard and has popped up for the odd goal resting forward. Probably in the 15-20 range at this stage.

Rich is from WA.

Victorian from an interstate club?

That felt like more salt. 2 points not a true reflection, Saints were a four goal better side than us today. Our midfield mix was exceptionally poor today, work rate was tepid. Had hoped the Collingwood game was the reality check the club needed, but seems like reality needs to slap us a few more times. Problem is, the season may be gone before the team wakes up.

Slow. Speed hasn't ever been one of his tricks. When fully fit, a good endurance athlete, competitive and great decision maker in close.

Had heard that Bedford was eligible for us under NGA, so kept an eye on him yesterday. He has good pace and I really like his endeavour, but was a bit scrappy with his skills and decision making. May not have been used to spending as much time on ball as he did against WA, but was one of VC's best (Walsh, Williams and Eli Smith were probably the only others to play reasonably for VC) well as WA really controlled the game from start to finish. Unless he makes massive strides in the second half of the season, I don't think we'd have to give up too much to match an opposition bid at this stage.

I'm in Adelaide for the weekend, how cheap are the tix?

Was a good kick for goal as a junior, don't quite know what's gone on at St Kilda. Could give us more outside run through the midfield & his field kicking is still good. Would be funny if we used Tyson in a trade to finally get him, think we could get more out of him than St Kilda has. Had quite a good year in 2017 and was probably their best against us in Rd 21. Can imagine if Taylor & Viney believe in him as a player chances are we've already picked up the phone.
