But OD might not have another 54 years up his sleeve.

You have thrown in our main key defender( and brother of our best forward). Wow!

It will be interesting to see if Kelly extends at Cats. If not he could be targeted by Eagles with a compo pick for Gaff. Kelly would be far cheaper than Gaff and would help Eagles salary cap.

Name the only kick in football named after a fruit. It has been a long association with our favourite fruit and footy.

Yes but he is in it and available free. If you got Gaff and Wallis, you would be gaining better players and with experience, to help our young midfield.

He can handball and kick to a team mate for starters. He can make a decision within 2 minutes and not get caught holding the ball. He can kick a goal, 3 recently in a game. He can take a contested mark. He is a better player than Tyson.

Well we found another way to inflict pain on ourselves.

Wallis has skill Tyson doesn’t.

Not sure the club sees that as a priority. Oscar, Frost, Lever next year, Petty after a second pre season and Keilty is a fair bunch. Tim Smith can also go back and Joel Smith though a bit shorter can also pinch hit. Assuming Pedo has retired and if not he is another who can pinch hit. Who would you be looking at?

I think we should be targeting Mitch Wallis, who is a year older and on the outer at the Dogs apparently and will come a lot cheaper. If you can get both great.

Nic Nat I think is only contracted until end of 2019. His next contract will be well south of $1m per year and he will accept it, as he has been heavily paid while injured. WC have been good to him and he will repay them with a reduced contract.

Was feeling quite confident about the Cats game until we lost Viney and Hibberd.

Well just for them I heard Dusty, Lynch, McGovern, Cripps and Curnow have signed with us for next year.

Would usually be concerned about a product made by a company called Nippys, but in the interest of research will try it.

Taking players from other clubs who were possibly high draft picks or not, but who didn’t produce their best at the club who drafted them, has been successful many times. Often more so than drafting. A couple of reasons for this could be that you have seen them against senior players and you might know of a reason why they haven’t performed to their ability, like injury or homesickness for example.

Not at the start of quarters or after goals there isn’t.

Put Hunt on the wing and it is no issue.

Well yes but Cyril was a generational player. They don’t grow on trees. Unrealistic draft aim, especially with no first round pick.

I would love to get another Hunt, but with better disposal and maybe an Eddie/Jeffy type, who can get a goal from nothing and also have the pace to apply real defensive pressure.

Hibberd gives up bananas and gets injured. Will they never learn?

I don’t and I would bet Horse agrees.

That joke has been done to death on DL

Think he signed a new contract last year.

Yep, match means match. You offer exactly the same or better.

Ok. So the question now is if he is in negotiations with them. If not, IMO he is gone. If it is big money offered by the Eagles and for 6 years and he is not even negotiating, then he clearly wants out. If he was staying, you would think he would be locked away by now, given the Eagles offer was more than 3 weeks ago or you would hear that they are close to a deal.
