We can deal with RFA given that with our salary cap position we are likely to be able to outbid a players current club.

We will get Viney and he is ready made, we may also some free agents plus other picks including 13 and we may pick up some mature ages late in the draft. If these guys are better than who we might get in the draft at 3 and 4 then I am all for it. I really like the sound of Hogan, he is just the type we need.

You should write a book about it... Call it 50shadesofgrudge...

Is Cloke not part of our plans or are we not part of his?

If we pick up 2 in the MD how does that impact our list? Do they sit on our primary list or do they sit outside because they can't play? It might make it easier to make room for free agents or hang onto guys we are not ready to let go of like Jetta/Davis/Cook to give them another year to assess their worth. I'm not commenting on the particular players here just the potential flexibility this could give out list.

Why are you guys repeating yourselves?

I don't agree that GWS will nominate Viney.

I understand that...but I don't think we need to. GWS won't have pick 2 until after the father sun bidding and they will not risk Whitfield to play silly buggers because if he's available GC will go thank you very much and keep pick 2 to use on him.

I agree we need mids...but if we were a chance to land Viney, Toumpas and Kennedy in one hit, we'd be doing ok to grab a big competitive forwarded if he was rated worthy of pick 4. Our midfield depth stands out now without any senior stars but adding Viney, Toumpas and Kennedy to the likes of Trengove, Grimes, McKenzie, Gysberts, Howe, Blease, Tapscott, it should develop a bit. But if Hogan is not worth it...another mid would be great.

I think your taking it far too literally.

Would be wrapped with that!

Splitting hairs?

I am starting to feel more confident about getting Viney in the second. Absolutly GWS won't risk Whitfield. And GC will be more concerned about trying to better their list particularly if they want to trade for a MD pick than trying to play silly buggers with us. It's a good thing for us if they are after Martin. Also GWS are more likely to go for Grundy than GC so Toumpas is more likely to fall to us at 3 if GWS end up with pick 2. And why would we give up pick 3 for Hogan when we could give them 4?

A lot of love for this guy and Iike the sound of him...but if he's that good he might be done by our pick.

Well said and thank you to and all our foundation heros.

194cm might be a bit short for a ruckman.

I'm inclined to believe what Hawks have come out with...but is it possible the story is true and an injunction has been sort to delay any announcement/decision whilst it is challenged?

The loss of Ward and Cooneys ongoing decline through injury is huge for them.

Is it wrong that I'm more worried about winning one of the last two and moving above the doggies...by the end of today our % will be better than theirs...its a horrible system...we still have so much to gain by losing Picks 3 and 4 rather than 5 and 6 and a greater chance of getting Viney in the second round.

Hanson from the Roos looked like a spud for a number of years but is just starting to come good now...could this happen with Cook?

A bit like your threats...

If we can match the salary he is offered we trade him or he has to go through the draft.

Ross is a talent!

Taking one for the team, good man!
