If we want finals now we take Brown. Weed is slowly getting there, Jackson just starting out. They worked well in games against lowly opposition we need to see the Weed take a bigger step next year.

Just putting it out there he's a special talent, was regarded as the next Jonathon Brown, at least have the conversation. Fwiw I would only do it if I had the complete backing of the playing list first. Agreed

Definite keeper, on a 1 or 2 year deal, not ganna break the cap, and still improving.

2 years + 1 as a assistant couch

The fact he is 25 and should be in his prime..... I'd give him a 3 year deal that has clauses keeping him on the right track on and off field, providing he is over his major injuries and ready mentally. It could be beneficial for him to be around familiar faces. I don't know or believe he was the cuase of culture disruptions at the club, We all know he delt with alot off field that would have derail anyone.

I think Freo would have tried to help him out and still might, they have invested alot to get him. Although I'd love him back at his best we make top 4 next year, maybe he has bad influences back in WA?

They can fight it out for midfield spots and challenge each other to get better

Pisssss off Carlton you [censored], we want, Cripps and your first rounder

I agree Smith should have 2 good playing years and maybe the 3rd can be playing/assistant role, similar to Jones. Phillips should be the main target and I'd still go after Brown

The thing I've noticed about the brownlow over the years, if you had a good year previous, the umpires already know to look for you, ie. Clarry at Maxy getting plenty votes . I expect Tracc to poll even better next year, same goes with the AA

Just seen Clarry in a sling at the brownlow?? Anyone got any info please

Time we talk him up as a player we don't want to loose and make the pies pay up.... (he has been a excellent servant but his best is behind him). Would welcome him back into a mentoring roll anyway

Id also be adding we will be Hoping Brown will get back to his best, and Weed should only be entering his prime now.... I'd take Brown for a second rounder, but wouldn't move on the Weed just yet. A forward line of Brown, Weed, Fritsch, Melky, Kossi, and spargo or a resting mid would be the way to go with Jackson given time to develop and coming in for anyone not in form.

Imagine if the penny drops for Gus, Oliver, Harmes, and they train as hard as Trac... I expect they all see that as the minimum level to get to now and challenge each other.

He brings a heap of experience and probably will be a on field coach which we seem to need

Clarry has to focus on becoming a Demon champion, if he does we make finals year on year. He could be best player in the comp by next year with Trac right by his side.

Maybe that range... I'll leave that to the recruiters if they got their eye on a kid or on trade it for a best 22 that we need

Fantastic news go Dees, now get Neita as goal kicking coach

Unless it's a massive win for us trade wise I would keep him, only going to get better and you need a strong entire list to go all the way

We should have won that flag, from that moment I have always hated west coast the most

I was in the same camp as you on O Mac, I actually thought he was improving slowly, but when he let that young kid from port run rings around him I lost all faith, even if he didn't have the ability to beat him he should of physically intimidated him.

Think he just ate a crocodile for breakfast

If he's fit, id take him back even if he needs abit more TLC then other players. We would be top 4 with Jesse at his best Weed, Fritsch and Jackson little kossi unbelievable forward line

With Daniher going to Brisbane could we ask about Eric Hipwood?

If all we get is a 4th round pick id rather keep him as back up, we have to ask for a second round pick, or a player who would be in our top 26
