McNamara has got promise as a utility, and Cheney is a neat kick, is courageous, and can take a mark, he gets lost a bit when picking up someone but had a solid 1st year of AFL. Batram cannot kick and has limited awareness, I struggle to see him playing in our midfield next year. Run with roles can be given to other players as an exercise in development. And Buckley's injuries worry me, as I'm sure, they do Simon and the club.

He made a pact with himself at 14 that he wouldn't have a drink, because he wanted to get drafted and play footy. He wasn't on the [censored] at 14, but it's the time when kids start to do stupid things - and drinking too much is one of them. For me, Trengove is clearly second to Scully. Both would be capable of handling the expectations that come with being number 1, but Scully seems to want this life like no kid that has come before him. The countdown will see Trengove at 2, and Scully at 1. And I will have it on the IQ for a while...

What have these players done for us not to honour their contracts? Not develop? That's our fault. They were never good enough? We picked them up in the first place. Unless they are doing stupid things (Carroll) - honour their contracts. Batram, Buckley, McNamara, and Cheney are the only ones that I know of that are OOC. 1, 2, 11 and PSD1 are priorities in my mind. Bruce on the VL (due to Robbo delisting), Whelan, Wheatley, and McLean out provide space for those picks. 1 has to go for Pick 18 - Batram 2 have to go for Pick 34 - Batram & Buckley If Pick 34 is not considered as good a prospect as Buckley then don't use that pick. We don't have to use that pick. Depending on how the medicos see Buckley's OP I would be prepared to forget about 34.

I'm prepared to get some shapes. Coz, I is hungry. What I have to do? I give my money so I can sit back and let CS, CC, TH, BP, and DB do it. Should I give money? Should I make a banner to be placed outside his house? Should I offer my services for a gratitious sex act? Should I blackmail potential recruits? OK, I'm having a little fun. But seriously...

Well said. It would be great to see Ball in Red & Blue at the bottom of a few packs. And a 'Leadership Position' is not a lure, it is an immediate burden that not many would want to see going to a new organisation. He will be a leader, because he has been leading footy teams since he was 8, you don't need to tacitly say that we are relying on him for that leadership, and that we have no-one else, by giving him the VC.

Good player is Clearly. 1, 2, 11, 18 , 34, and PSD1 requires another 2 deletions with Spencer and Co. staying on the RL if they wish to stay. As RR said - Buckley, Batram, Cheney, and McNamara are OOC. Pick 2 or possibly 1 if you wish to keep over Pick 34. For me, it would be Batram and Buckley, or just Batram.

Love to see the bloke at the club. Great leader. I guess it will reopen the old chestnut "Can we play with Moloney, Jones, and Brock/Ball?" Doesn't worry me for one reason, and it is a very selective idea - Ball is an in-and-under clearance player, and Brock is not(Ball had 6+ clearance in 7 occasions out of 17 during the regular season). McLean was a Lenny Hayes style accumulator of possessions. I would prefer to have Beamer as the 80m player he used to be - get the handball receive, run 25m and kick it 55m. We'll see...

Forget the Powerpoint. Tell Luke Ball to go over to Moloney's place and watch this on his computer. That'll do mfcnow, that'll do.

Hey! It was Marge's suggestion...

It's disgusting...shocking...unholy...just awful... People on here read Vex News?! Utterly revolting... This is a delicate issue. No comment.

Don't engage. Just look blankly, and sidle on by.

If this was last year we would not be able to take Watts or Blease. Game. Set. Match. Wooohoooo. Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga. "Is this a robbery?" ------ "It's a science experiment."

Yes?

You, of all people? Jeez... A third of the kids normally eligible are not eligible. That equals a thin draft. RR has come aboard the train to reason, time for the rest of you to... Read. My. Signature.

By silly people do you mean silly person, and by silly person do you mean Freak? No offence to the very insightful poster The Oracle, but Freak is The Bizarro Oracle. Everything he says will come to pass...backwards...or reversed...upside-down...inside-out... You know where I'm going with this. ...back-to-front...in Aramic...in Da Vinci's secret code...in Wingdings...

Nah. It's a forum. Say what you like...

Nah, prefer a '[censored] off.'

This is wasted internet. This could be porn, FCS!

Great bloke, better coach.

We have got people ringing other clubs about nothing trades?! People have a go at me for being patronising but... Patronising remark.

One of the best in the comp as the loose man. But fans thinking he can hold down FB or CHB are kidding themselves.

He is a good mid, how many of those do we have? Lynden Dunn, Clint Batram, Rohan Bail, Simon Buckley, Daniel Bell, and all those kids being on our list doesn't mean we have a midfield that can do without the services of Luke Ball.

Hey, Freak is an exulted figure in the theatre of being wrong and naive... But, yes, DD made little sense. That's the problem with YouTube - makes everyone a recruiter.

You thought wrong...

This smacks of desperation to me. But it's the time for that I guess - their window is ajar and they need to win before Riewoldt's knees slam it shut. Peake is depth, waste of money. Lovett is gold, if you can tame him. But if you can't, he's fool's gold.
