fantasia and Z Langdon?

so, in the spirit of this thread, would be good to get latest info on the following rumoured ins and outs : OUT? Preuss - GWS request McDonald T - likely staying unless a good deal comes for him ANB - trade bait but heard nothing specific Hannan - WB interest Jetta - coll interest McDonald O - no suitors so far Kolodjashnij - off boks and preparing for retirement Jones - potentially stay in play/coach role Neitschke - demote to rookie Others? IN? B Brown - apparently we are frontrunners I Smith - apparently likely to come T Phillips - no link to dees that ive heard N Hind - rumour C Hooker - read that he could seek a move possibly to Melbourne Others?

Brayshaw and Pickett to Freo? is that what is said at 75% done?

Stagerred if he leaves. Goody mentioned him along with Weid, Jacko and others after the last game saying they were a young forward line who needed some help and a bigger body to support them. I dont think he is going anywhere.

Lock it in Eddie!

cant see anyone taking him. Delisted.....

Great post. This is exactly the reason why Brown (or someone proven at take the #1 defender) works.

Cryptic????

got to package him up with TMac then.....

I understand the interest in TMac and Pruessy, but has anyone heard of any interest in OMac?

I understand he is keen to get to dees. Whether he can from hawks is another thing. Bombers are also keen apparently.

Aside from trading options there are Interesting decisions ahead for those on rookie list (Bennell, Chandler, Brown, Lockhart and Bradkte) - Retain, Upgrade, or Delist? Interesting also re retirements (Jones? Jetta? KK?) and long term injury (Neita) do we retain on main list or drop to Rookie?

TMac and OMac, package for Ben Brown? Interesting to ponder - not convinced Brown is the guy.

Love to see Yze back. also need a real FWD coach (if not Yze). Richo not going anywhere (unfortunately) - major mistake hiring him as he has not come from any successful environment.

Of the likely targets we might pick up, the talk has been about a mature big bodied key forward. Like they grow on trees! what are the thoughts about (just brainstorming - not recommending): - Paddy McCartin - Perryman - Daniher (wont get him) - Majak Daw (as was suggested in some article recently) - Darcy Moore (as a fwd) - Sam Day - Carlton - McKay, Curnow or Casboult

I think he was delisted so I dont thik we need to give up anything

Trade table - Pruess, OMac, TMac, ANB, Smith Delist/Retire - Jones, Jetta, KK, Bradkte, Dunkleyor Brown, Wagner x 2 Targets - Moore, mature Sml Fwd (Bruest?) Role Changes - Harmes back to mid/tagging role; Viney to be split between fwd pockett and mid; if no trade for TMAC send to CHB and Tomlinson to wing List changes - Promote Lockhart and Bennell; Demote Neitschke to Rookie

Keep as a depth player but if another comes for him and offers the right deal....go for it.

all chips in. Must win and must win big... Dont like making too many changes after a win but its all or nothing here.... IN - Hibberd for Smith; Harmes for Hunt; LJ for Brown; Lockhart for Jetta; Possibly add Bennell for ANB.

Gee there is plenty of doom and gloom on this topic. we are Dees supporters. We are used to this crap! We are used to living on eternal hope. Lets brush it off and blindly move to the next possible hope we have...and you just never know....maybe one day.. As I see it, depending on results going our way, if we win both games we can finish somewhere between 6th and 10th. its going to be wet in Brisbane again on Saturday so no need for dry weather players. Out - Pruess, Melksham, Baker and ANB. In - Lockhart, Harmes, Bennell, Sparrow

i read that he is not being oferred a new contract

Voss for midfield coach, new fwd coach, new backline coach - and bring back Jennings as Strategy There is no way they will sack Goody. Would devistate hope and given history would feel like starting again so lets get rid of Richardson who has NEVER been involved with a successful organisation and bring in some senior support to Goody. Clarko , Lyon, Williams would all be gettable except Clarko who will stay at Hawks to mentor Mitchell to take over. Lyon makes sense. Changes to player personnel is another post all together

Good opportunity to get some game time in a few of the fringe players as we come off a 5 day break and a big travel schedule. Kozzie Out, Bedford In Hannan Out, Hunt in McDonald Out, Smith In Would be good to find a spot for Lockart - perhaps Spargo out and reshuffle Fritch only comes in in leiu of Hannan or Brown. Id keep Brown and worth giving Hunt a run. Bennell to save fro Freo game
