We got pick 12 for Scott, who at the time wasn't getting a game from Daniher. We were treated fairly by the Crows. They played him we didn't, much to the angst of several Demon supporters, myself included. Scott was not at the level of Lever when they got him.

I accept that you get monkeys for peanuts and for class you have to pay. I trust Taylor/ Mahoney etc to get a good deal done, but think the Danger deal, bearing in mind he was one for the best in the AFL at the time, does seem to set a benchmark and hopefully we can get Lever for a bit better than that deal as he is no Dangerfield, ( yet ).

Sorry to nit pick but Gus was pick 3.

And Pendles, Gaff, Prestia and Shuey, just to name a few, were Demon supporters. It means nothing.

Not sure the interest is there so I will start at this stage with a countdown in months, 2

Looks to be a very busy trading season this year.

Not really, but I have often thought I would kill at lawn bowls, because I was a brilliant carpet bowler.

I wonder if we would even have this thread, if our idiot recruiting manager Prendergast, had taken Talia as everybody expected, instead of Jordan Gysberts, in a mind boggling, stupid pick, of Cook and Toumpas proportions. ( Yes I know he didn't pick Toumpas ). Oh and BTW, I am positive if he had, we could guarantee that we would have played finals this year, as he would have stopped at least two goals, that we allowed this season, if not have won us a close game outright. Thanks Barry, you butchered this club.

I have joined BSA. Banana smoothies anonymous. Hopefully I can stay on the wagon for a while and keep losing those banana kilos. Was nearly sent into apoplectic shock when I saw that skinhead number 9 for the Giants on tv last night.

Do you like him.? What is your opinion, do you think we should try and get him? Do you think he would be in our best 22? Do you think we could let Garland go if we got Lever? Do you think he would wear number 6 if he came to us?

Oh yes you would. Let's see, how about Dangerfield or Dusty for Watts?

Did you know that a Rockmelon is a Gourd?

I was told Kelly knocked back North as he saw them as struggling in the next few years. If he views them like that and presumably his manager too, they may have gone off the radar as a destination club and money alone may not get top players there.

Might be, but it will be the starting point in the Lever trade.

They would have more luck training down an igloo in the sahara.

Well I hope it didn't, whatever happens. Maybe he spoke to Judd's grandmother.

Loose lips. That is a pity if true, we have been pretty good lately at keeping things in house.

When have I heard that before?

Better build a concrete fence as they have broken too many.

Maybe the players will rebuild the house, while they are attempting to rebuild our trust in them.

See my post before yours.

Good luck to them trying as the house was demolished last saturday.

As has been posted by a few others, we should now avoid recruiting any depth players. Any trades or FA's should be seen as best 22 or ignored. The draft can give us more depth players, being the ones that don't quite make it, added to those we retain.

Can assure you Moonie, that I will treat the summer training posts, articles and photos, as BB described in the post below yours.

I know all that and obviously appreciate the important things in life, but as you say and I am not even sure why, a week later, but I am still really p-ssed off with the players and coaches.They let the fans and themselves down and wasted a golden opportunity to have some finals experience, give everyone some reward for the rotten years, enhance sponsorship, membership, fixture and recruit opportunities, but they just blew it big time. That still really annoys me.
