Phew. Bugg was huge on Sidebottom. Big job next week on one of Hanneberry, Parker or Mitchell.

Very tough conditions out there with the wind. We look to have settled our key backs for the next eight to ten years hopefully with the two McDonalds and Frost. With Hunt and Wagner providing great run and Jetta being our best defender, there's lots to be excited about.

Bugg did his hammy didn't he? So that's one. VandenBerg looked sore and Stretch and Oliver came into the game as it went on but the latter in particular looked to be running up and down on the one spot at one stage. Bugg for Garlett? Grimes? ANB? Depends on the role required on a small ground I guess.

Were targeting Sidebottom big time - absolutely nailing him at every opportunity. Good to see. Now just to keep that quarter of footy going for another two.

Shocking last twenty minutes. Terrible skills.

Didn't we try to land Merrett a couple of years ago when he was also a free agent? Methinks he's more likely to retire at the end of the year than play on.

and i don't think either side will agree to just a first round pick at the end of the year for either brad crouch or dion prestia.

the issue with crouch is the value. before injury, easily worth a first rounder - possibly plus something else that was fairly decent. since then, not so much. still, if you could prise him from adelaide for a single first rounder, would do it. same with prestia. so say we luck out and could either for the low, low price of 2017 first round pick - which one?

he's barely able to get on the park. would be interesting to see what value he has, that's for sure.

Grundy down in the rooms.

Rohan another hamstring.

i thought tippett was a knee? they're missing him big time around the contest.

it should be fairly rudimentary to work out if you can find out staff lists - whichever club had a non-anglo player development manager at some stage over the last three years.

giants are terrifying with how slick their ball movement is. have swans won a clearance or kicked a goal since tippett went down?

well, we definitely know that we've chased hooker and hurley and they're most likely staying, plus chased hibberd. prestia is mentioned every year.

Melbourne v Peptides? Tigers v Pies? Peptides v Carltank?

won't be traded because he'll walk as a free agent. i'm just not sure whether he's that desirable for any club,

dogs are seriously good.

what about our second rounder for hibberd and their third?

port-footscray is super entertaining football.

issue is that essendon, thru dodoro, will demand a first round pick for him. i wouldn't want to part with much more than a third rounder.

meanwhile, howe more likely to miss than not...

In: Grimes, Harmes Out: Wagner, Kennedy Cant see how Viney could get up. If he does would expect Bugg or VandenBerg to be out.

As a matter of interest, would the median age / games played provide a different perspective?

I like the one who says he's staying.
