  1. I'll wait to see what it turns into before slashings my wrists.

    Can't recall a player whose played good footy for their fourth club. I'm sure they're is one????

    He's this guy
  4. If Rankine fetch a pick 5 than surely Luke is worth two top ten picks wether this year or next
  5. His mate Heffernan says hi

    Long from St Kilda got them pick 32 if we get Grundy for 27 on that scale it would be the biggest steal in memory
  7. If prefer not to lose him. He is versatile. I'd like to see him in the ANB role. Tank might need a bit of work but he is better in the air and better much at goal.
  8. If we can turn Hunt and Bedford into Grundy I'll be stoked
  9. Funny they won't give up pick two. But if he was in the national draft he would surely go 2 or 3 after Ashcroft
  10. He was bad, always seemed to go for nice lightly built skillful players who didn't have any competitive edge about them

    I don't think we used Hunt correctly in the past couple years. He was made to play more lockdown and we rarely saw him get to use his place in an attacking way.

    Surely you jest. Gunston has had a great career. Love fritta but I'd have them at least on par
  13. Wouldn't be against it. Improvement on the Jordan / Spargo combo. Still wonder why we never put Brayshaw back to his premiership winning position at some stage during the year
  14. I'm sure the post where he thanks supporters, the club for drafting him, developing him and giving him the chance to play in a premiership will come at some stage
  15. Can't get through the paywall, but the headline sure looks familiar. We get it every year and trade period always disappoints
  16. As far as wingers go that wouldn't break the bank. I like Lachie Sholl from the crows. Quick, skillful and a massive tank. He is a bit light but we have enough brutes . Melbourne boy who found himself in the twos towards the end of the year.

    Sydney are embarrassing tbh

    Cats well deserved after 10 years of nearly they got it done

    Game over. Hope we can Jag one when Clarry and tracc are at the end even 1 Soon will do
  20. Tmac just posted a picture on Instagram of the plate and screws he had removed, without comment ready to go next year. Good signs people
  21. Do the dogs have any fringe players that address our needs . I know we where into ed Richards last year who wasn't getting a game, would be perfect for our side. Unfortunately he had too good a year for the dogs to give up

    I agree. Gotta be a better option than spargo on a wing which was tried this year. He needs to be more offensive of HBF , although opposition coaches tended to try exploit his poor one on one and limit his offensive run and often dragged their forward deep
  23. I remember Chris Scott also implying danger had the trotts in the rnd 23 match which danger was unsighted in the last qtr along .
  24. Burgoyne was already an 8 year veteran and married with kids to the daughter of an SANFL legend Greg Phillips and sister of aflw's Erin Phillips. When he joined the Hawks. I'd say his experience and treatment was different to that of a young indigenous draftee . Also highly likely be wasn't aware of it at all
