I'd pick Swan before Cotchin,Selwood,Watson and Dangerfield. Those 4 are very good footballers but haven't produced what Swan has the last 4 seasons.Runner up to Judd in the Brownlow,won his own Brownlow the next year and had a great year last year. Very short sighted Mike.

Some good points above but it's not all about the list only.You only have to go back to the GF,where the Hawks had the more talented team on the day but the Swans had the superior gameplan which ultimately won them the cup. Hawks couldn't stand up to the pressure for 4 quarters,they couldn't get their 30 metre chipping game going because the Swans owned the space. As much as we need to build a very talented list,if Neeld doesn't get the gameplan right,we won't play top 4 football,same goes for Giants & Suns.

It'll be at Southport Sharks footy ground.

WOOHOO, Suns v Dees @ Southport I'm a member of both Stoked!

I find it absolutely staggering that for a club like ours which is over 150 years old that we only have 14,000 more members than GWS,a club that's been in existence for 1 year!!!

Can someone record it and upload it to Youtube for us Interstaters?

Jesse,please sign here,it's your new 15 year contract.

This thread comes up every year,when will Col explode? In the 8 or so years he has played AFL,he has been a just average footballer with a couple of spike games a year,a la Daniel Wells and Kozi. Below is how Col's season pans out every year,from 1 to 10. 3,3,4,3,5,4,8,4,5,3,6,4,5,8,3,5,4,3,7,2,4,5 Stop thinking he can/will produce the 8's week in,week out!!!! Guys,he's a 5 out of 10 footballer and has 8 or so seasons as proof.

The deal for Jesse Hogan for pick 3 may have included a "let Toumpas fall to us at pick 4 and it's a done deal" agreement.

I'd normally agree on making your own history with your own number but Ronald Dale was the greatest Demon of all to pull on the Melbourne jumper and to see Jack running around in 31 will be amazing. No-one has done the no.. 31 justice since Ronald Dale Barassi.

I'm happy overall, although don't know much about the two mature age recruits. I wanted Wines over Toumpas but time will tell. I'll be at the MCG tomorrow to watch my nephew, Scott Boland play his first shield game for the Bushies this season so I hope to see a few Dees players there. Go Dees/Bushies!

I'd take Wines for his inside midfield grunt and NO go home factor. Toumpas in his own words on Youtube yesterday,is an outside mid,albeit classy and is a good finisher. So we'd have 2 JT/SA captains on a wing each when we need as much hard,tough,midfield grunt as we can get. Pick 4 better be Ollie Wines. But this will be very interesting as our recruiters didn't expect Toumpas to be available thinking it would be Whitfield,Brody,Toumpas. and we'd take Wines. We went through this exact scenario 3 years ago in deciding between a claasy outside SA mid (Trengove) and a hard,tough inside stay at home mid in Martin, I'd take a hard,tough inside stay home mid over a classy outside go home factor mid anyday of the week.

7 wins,gameplan down pat and no injuries. Every player on our list improve their kicking skills on both sides,that's where is the game is going.Davey and Green kicked right foot 4 & 3 times in their career and got into all sorts.

Very happy with our draw,no Friday night games but 4 Saturday night games which i prefer anyway. Should win 6,best case 8.

What's the most they can do,take Jack Viney off us? I'll bet my boat nothing comes of this because at least 6 other clubs did the same thing and the AFL know it. The AFL dangled the priority pick and every club in the position made it happen. Put a nice big juicy bone in front of a starving dog and tell him not to eat it! Get your hand off it Vlad!

Care to name the rest of the hacks that wore our jumper that day that are still on our list? Or are you only interested in Knifing the players in the back that have left the club? Gutsy!!!

Can't believe we've still got Bail,Bartram,Bate,Bennell & Davey!!!

Good upgrade on Bail. That's about it.

Swings & Roundabouts. We got Viney @ 26!!! Move on

Good luck Riv,sad to see you go,wish it was Garland. It's only going to take a Frawley injury and we'll be relying on Garland and Sellars and the inexperienced Tommy Mac & Watts. This will set us back more than most people realise.

Good luck Beamer,maybe a champion midfielder in Vossy will know how to play you. We picked up Shannon [censored] Byrnes!!!!!! We're going places

We need to use Pick 4 on the most athletic of the best remaining mids for quick run & spread. Lewis Jetta carved up the Hawks in the 3rd quarter as Mitchell & Sewell are great within 15 metres of the contest but don't spread well. Viney isn't that quick either,we need a jet. Wines was very impressive on Future Stars a few weeks ago,i'd be happy if we take him.

I go to all the Suns Home games and i wouldn't touch Toy,he's slow and not a great kick.

I'm tipping Leon Cameron to be a 7 time premiership coach!

Viney at any cost.i actually think he is pick 1. Viney is Hodge,Whitfield is Dal Santo.
