This gets interesting, as Worsfold has not even spoken to Hurley. Still he says he will stay. Yet the player hasn't even touched base with the new Coach. You would think if he has, or is going to sign with the Dons, as some above have said has already happened, he would have had to chat to the new Coach.

Jeremy Howe went to the Pies because he wanted to play with the club he barracked for as a kid. Maybe Brayden will as well in a year or two.

Peter was a tough nut as well.

That will make Hibberd a bit easier to get if we want him and he wants to come to us. Hurley will have used up more salary cap on his new deal, along with the other banned players who have returned. I actually think if Hurley has re signed, Hibbert might as well.

Our best mids have come through the draft, except Dom and Salem, who were traded for with a pick. However, if we knew he was fit and was gettable, you would have to try. He would probably cost a couple of decent players or our first 2017 pick and a player. ATM being still injured, he would be a huge risk and would eat up a bit of salary cap as well.

Billy Stretch says hello.

Jake Niall threw up up Dunn and Garland last night, as the sort of players the Lions should chase, to help their younger players, by adding experience to the defence, with Merrett retiring.

Have you been boarding at BBO or Biff's places.

Did you notice yourself sitting down when he disposed of it?

Assuming we don't get Hurley and don't recruit another Key Back, then I think they will retain Dunn and Pedersen, who can fill in there if needed.

Gee, I was hoping we would get another 8 or more years out of Max, at least.

Hope not, unless plan is to re rookie him.

IMO Hunt has killed most on that list. He has to be nominated before the end of the season. Oliver has probably not had enough games. Petracca has been brilliant in patches but not consistent enough. Daniel or Mills will probably win because of consistency.

Think that was Robert Shaw, who had a connection with his school.

You picked the right round then.

I suppose, with Spencer signed until end of 2017 and happy to play the understudy role, it could be easier to just extend his contract yearly and hope the two Kings come on. We can also rookie another ruckman if needed as insurance.

Showing your age Biff.

An off shiraz?

Remember what the Blues did to us late last year. That is what happens when you take a side too easily. We do that against weaker sides. We only beat GC 2 weeks ago by a point and Bombers beat them today and us early in the season. I hope all talk in the club is about Carlton only.

Think he re signed with us this year.

Agree, but what I meant is that one free kick less, was a two game turnaround. They lose 4 points and we get 4 points and we are in.

Today's performance won't hurt.

One less, soft goal free to the Roos, against us and we would be in the 8 today.

Probably not. He was livid with Boak and you could see he wanted to drop him.

Disagree on Frost. He is not a smart footballer, but rather an athlete, who is learning his craft and loves to take others on, sometime to his detriment. I am sure however the FD loves it, when he breaks lines, or lays a great tackle by running down a player. He is getting better and will be part of our 3 pronged, key defensive backs for a long while.
