whatwhat say what

sounds like he's stepping away from working in football as anyone who has worked for a club can tell you, it is a high pressure, high stakes, emotionally draining involvement good luck to todd with his future endeavours

he's tall, strong, durable, and versatile in previous years teams have been willing to give up mid-first round picks for him we're getting him for free, right when he should be about to play the best football of his career it's a winner

Saints won’t even have pick 6 after they bring in Brad Hill Tom Browne is an idiot

it was always going to be announced on brownlow medal day, as that's when the commission meets to confirm

there's not that many free agents left; lots have retired or been re-signed restricted: cam ellis-yolmen sam jacobs jamie elliott mark baguley jed bews tom nicholls adam tomlinson matthew buntine sam reid paul puopolo matt broadbent jack newnes fraser mcinnes fletcher roberts tory dickson unrestricted: david mackay richard douglas ben reid harry taylor grant birchall ryan schoenmakers shaun burgoyne todd goldstein justin westhoff travis boak shaun edwards david armitage jarryn geary chris masten will schofield i refuse to believe boak or edwards will leave their clubs if we were to get elliott and tomlinson that'd be good; of this list newnes or possibly masten (or dickson?) would be next cabs off the ranks but...underwhelming

Tomlinson and...?

As of yesterday I believe there were still 8,000 available tickets in a 20,000 capacity ‘stadium’

Unfortunately we are all realistic and of the belief we are gonna be bumped to #3 GW$ vs Footscray way more entertaining than last night

pepetides don't need more outside run, so much ado about nothing - due diligence to tour the facilities, and most people / experts still expect langdon to get to the dees if they were to get him it won't help their inability to win the ball at the coalface and they - like us! - have a fairly dysfunctional forward set-up, a host of injury-prone players, and a midfield prone to bombing it to no one in particular if they get him, so be it

Saw a comment somewhere from a fan saying that he will play a Lynch from Crows style role for us He really doesn’t get a lot of the ball at GW$ Has been able to consistently get on the park tho...

I went tonight and at the ground it wasn’t that hard to differentiate the teams It was a pretty ropey game; pies got the early break and that was it terrible skills from both sides; meth coke will feast on cats next week and pies will lose de goey and probably Greenwood Very hard to see either going all the way

Sam Landsberger from the sun reckons we are faves to land him

oh haha i was being facetious about the concessions gc17 are gonna be gifted

Will go to GC17 as they’ll get all of NT as a zone

be interesting to see what happens with whoosh now i agree with @Ethan Tremblay - he'll be senior assistant and advisor for longmuir in 2020

seems like a good guy and someone who knows what he's doing BUT one finals series in eight years time for a different opportunity somewhere fresh good luck to him

just rumours at this stage, but everything will come down to this crazy review that the afc are doing i really hope we're not as keen as i think we might be...

hmm...........

cutler talking to pies and blues

doesn't qualify for pies as father-son so it's either dees or pot-luck in the draft in a few years time

i like the look of bonar primarily based on his underage assessment as a player with strength in the contest and genuine breakaway pace hately and caldwell both look 'neat' footballers as long as one (preferably two!) of them come our way with 13 and 15 in exchange for pick 3 i'm all for the deal being done

yeah it is - he's on a very sticky wicket at gw$ in 2020 if we are pursuing him i'll be interested to see how it plays out, but the general consensus seems to be he's hawks-bound

possibly i reckon it's what adelaide would expect for a dual all-australian best and fairest winner in the prime of his career we're also getting amon out of it in this scenario

yep, probably a third round pick...and a salary of around $700k+ next year if the stories are true even if you sign him on a three year deal you're just spreading salary over a three year period for a key forward whose body has thus far shown no ability to get through a full season consistently he'll be 27 next year and should be in the peak of his football years as a key forward but unfortunately he hasn't shown any ability to play consistent football during a season, let alone year-to-year i agree that $cully would be a walk-up start on the wing for us but obviously given the history we were never any shot to get him back i also agree with others that he's not exactly damaging with ball in possession and looks a shadow of his best and most damaging

if there was an offer of a top 10 pick for brayshaw i would take it - pick 3 to gw$ for 13, 15, and wantaway vic mid aiden bonar - brayshaw to caaaaaaaaarlton for pick 8, which carlton hold via adelaide - pick 8 back to crows for laird, future second - pick 24 to freo for langdon - crows' future second to pear for amon net result: IN: laird, langdon, amon, bonar, pick 13, pick 15 OUT: brayshaw, pick 3, pick 24
