I agree.

That might be the case WJ and we hope it is, but we are speculating on a possible trade of a big fish to us this trade period.

When he committed to the Cats they were a regular finalist.

And helped out by Neitz, Bruce, Yze and Fagan.

You misunderstood what I wrote.I was saying that Prestia hopefully wouldn't sign with us, if he knew he couldn't play due to injury, as he was a Dees supporter and wouldn't want to cause us more pain.

I believe Carlton wanted to let Kreuzer go if they got pick 2, to use on Francis.

Jack Martin and Jesse were the top 2 under 17's by a mile and available to GWS to be traded for compo picks. GC had the first pick and took Martin, leaving us Jesse. Then the recruiting took over and we swapped pick 20 for Dawes and the indigenous winger whose name I forget, who has retired. It could be easily argued both were a bust.

I would think that Toumpas would get you 30 and Moore. 30 would get you Kennedy with a lower pick back and possibly 46 would do the trick with a lower pick back to use on Lovett. I would do Howe for Redden if we could. Melksham for pick 26 with a lower pick back. Then the big fish deal to be done.

My son in law is a Pies fan and knows his players and he said today Ben would be a good get for us. He said that he hasn't shown his best yet, due to a couple of injuries, illness and lack of opportunity.

Not if as a Melbourne supporter, as is his family, he doesn't want to rip the club off and give it more pain.

If you want to have a very good idea of why we are where we are, look at the JT draft and look at the top 20 picks. Guess who played the least AFL games since and would be the biggest bust of the top 20? Answer is Gysberts, who was taken over Talia, ( the overwhelming choice of the Demonland posters at that pick), but what would they know. Prendergast was the genius behind that move and also Tapscott, the big bodied, small player who had no real postion to call his own. He was also the genius behind Lucas Cook, our number 12 pick who never played an AFL game and a host of other wasted draft picks. I see Prendergast's time at the club, as the single biggest reason we are where we are ATM. Thank God Taylor and Roos are trying to change things. We have under Roos turned over 50% of the list and that could hit 75% by the end of drafting time this year. We also have Brendan Mc Cartney heading our development program and Goodwin in the wings ready to Coach. We also have a decent CEO running the club. We are being given every chance to become a good club again.

If that is what we want to do in trading him and that pick can get us Melksham or Kennedy, then so be it. I hope Jimmy doesn't become a star for Port though.

A very sad anniversary.

Or Essendon.

Wonder who is responsible for the drug article on the Eagles, in the Sun today, 2 days before the GF.

Where did I say Kennedy was in Boomer's class? I was just mentioning a small player who was not too bad. Great how the insult is thrown in as well.

Boomer says hi.

Spoke to Col recently at a Dees game and I highly doubt this.

Yes he was.

Tigers met Harley today.

They should have enjoyed their dessert then.

GWS have 3 players to grab from their Academy this year with 2 of them said to be top 10 and more to come next year. Sydney are in a similar situation and took Heeney last year, probably the number 2 player with pick pick 18. FA's want to go to the top clubs and they get them for nothing. We can't even get a PP for 10 years of crap. How the hell can we catch up? Yeah its a great competition.

Would if I could.

That has a nice ring to it.

Brendan is not going anywhere, Worsfold is the next Coach of the Bombers.
