You mean like drafting Watts instead of Nic Nat? or in our case drafting Toumpas instead of Ollie! PS. Just having some fun.

Hope the Dockers can send the Hawks packing.

Interesting, as he was hopeless. Varcoe was in the best for the Pies several times.

If Hartlett story is true, I would imagine Port would prefer he goes to another club than Crows.

We have taken several NQR players in the past, either because we wanted to freshen the list and prove players would come to us, or we simply misjudged their ability. We should not be taking anyone for depth, other than perhaps a backup ruckman. IMO we should be trading for established players who would be in our best 22, or players we believe can make it under our development regime.

i know, I have followed Melbourne all my life.

I want Freo to smash the Hawks.

Isn't Aish similar to Billy Stretch? I haven't seen Aish do anything that I can recall. He is small and I don't think you can have too many like him. We are also rumoured to be after Hrovat, another small mid. We have another in JV, though he is an inside mid and Aish and Stretch are outside ones. Anyway we will see what happens.

Agree but he has great skills and is big and quick and really only has one problem, a lack of aggression. How many scoring assists has he been involved in? Who would you prefer with ball in hand 30-40 out? I thought in a few efforts he was turning around his game. He is a finisher and we don't have that many of them. I would keep him.

I would still keep Watts, he has upside and possibly plenty of it.

Not much love for him from Bombers fans. happy with him leaving. Saying he is a pick in the 40's at best.

No maximum.

Agree.

No problems you counter with McKenzie or our last pick in the draft, 78, or whatever it is.

The FD under Roos has been so much better than the previous ones, they have my trust until they lose it.

Would seem to depend on his shoulder injuries, they can be nasty.

Might just be waiting for Dixon trade to be done.

Your post 17594 is a song by the Four Seasons.

I am more concerned with WADA. $400k per year is about $100k over basic AFL pay. So it's not that much. if we get rid of a number of players on that basic pay, we obviously have plenty to spend and then we draft young players on start up pay. I am unsure how good Melksham is but I would imagine he is better than M. Jones, Bail, Terlich, McKenzie and Riley who look like following Jamar and Cross off the list. That is 7 before we start trading.

Could we do it in September then?

Are you a member of the Four Seasons?

Might be better than headlines saying the Dees are into every player named as leaving his club and then only getting a couple of the dregs.

And it's hello from me and hello from him.

Hope Crows smash Hawks.

No, but he was when we took Gysberts instead.
