  2. Do we have 49???
  3. I can’t remember, the season is dead to me
  4. Daisy Pearce will be half a chance to become an assistant then an AFL coach over the next few years

    Once they turn 30 Collingwood will take them both.
  6. Sounds like you've got a friend for your afternoon walks........Couldn't help myself :)

    All quiet on the Oliver front this morning. Must be real news to report......Like the hapless, beleaguered, wretch of a club securing pick 9 to add to pick 5 in a strong draft......all from a team that hasn't fired a shot for 20 plus years. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
  8. Be nice to add pick 34 to this arrangement. That’d give us a good chance to pick up a solid citizen to go with the likely top end talent we’re locking in. Maybe 2024 won’t end so badly.
  9. It never ceases to amaze me just how much better players look in our guernsey.
  10. Nor has there been any Indication that he’s a first round selection. The club will likely have answers to both those questions.
  11. Preferred outcome

    No idea just running the law of averages over a 23 year old mid season selection who hasn’t played a game yet. Always happy to be wrong on these hunches.
  13. The thing is if we nail these picks and Petracca and Oliver have strong seasons it puts us in a much stronger position to trade one or both for serious compensation.
  14. Essendon the big losers needing to do such a trade. They need multiple top 20 picks. If Kako is a bust as most of their picks are it just condemns them to many more years in no man’s land. Even if he’s elite, small forwards don’t lead you to the promised land they just make the trip exciting. Tassie must be frightening for them. Personally I think it’s absolutely fantastic and a result worthy of a celebration.
  15. Mids all the way for mine. We want Petracca forward as often as possible and I'd still prefer Rivers and MCvee off half back.

    "Hey kid, you signed a contract" Might be the response. I get your point though, I'm still thinking the deal gets done but you're hardly losing sleep not getting Wade Derksen to the club.
  17. Good news. JT can wield some power here.

    Geelong pretty much offered that by all reports or at least something along those lines so I think it's a bit unders. I reckon he's worth $900,000 and a top 10 pick. That's a deal the I think the club may of been able to stomach.

    With May and McDonald nearing the end we need some more talls. Both Petty and Turner may end up back so all Jefferson needs to do is keep improving and hopefully find a bit of mongrel. Even I thought the back end of his season was ok!

    Let's all have a sleep and reconvene in the morning.

    Because we’ve all been dkicheads at times and you just have a good wrestle and move on. Plus the playground rocks when it’s packed!
  22. It’s interesting that Richardson stated clearly in an interview that we’d be looking to not get any younger. Now it looks like our trading is on a 21 year old from Brisbane, potentially a 23 year old from GWS and a batch of baby faced draftees. (Tom Campbell aside) It feels to me that post reviews he may be on the outer. It also could just of easily been our thought at the time that some draft picks were on the way out for Houston. Personally I’m all for the draft. If we can have some solid youth join our emerging talent our list can be well on the way to revitalised. Maybe we’ve closed the window but opened the door?
  23. It’s always best to discuss the comment and the speculation in a discussion. Just don’t discuss anything we can’t discuss in said discussion otherwise speculation regarding your comment might lead to further discussion on the topic we most certainly can’t discuss.
