whatwhat say what

We look terribly ordinary so far this quarter.

Robinson is giving Jones a bath.

Bears firming for a priority pick handout from their owners, the afl commission.

They truly do look horrible.

Harmes defensive pressure outstanding.

Great first quarter, especially given that Jones had it twice.

We look far more balanced with three talls up forward.

anything on toumpas?

Clearly I meant the 2015 debutants - Hogan, Brayshaw, vandenBerg, Harmes, ANB and Stretch.

or you could say that roos is backing the talented kids in.

what does it matter if the kids get more exposure? brisbane is not that experienced themselves.

i'd rather stretch and anb in as midfield movers than matt jones or bail.

i personally think there'll be a late withdrawal - hogan. he looked sore last week and wasn't presenting up the ground like he has in previous weeks.

first godwin now an unwanted visitor at a training 'sesion'.

video is cool tho!

John butcher anyone? Will be cheap as chips. Better option than Dawes? Not to long ago they were calling this kid the future

Has done nada at sanfl level all year, and had the heat put on him at the beginning of the year to improve or be chopped.

I expect he might be a straight delist.

the boffins on classified just called him a 'nice' footballer. i reckon that sums henderson up perfectly.

he's headed to geelong if he leaves the blues.

Henderson is like Dawes - a serviceable big bloke who has talent and works hard.

Gawn is the sort of ruckman you can build a midfield around.

out of that, I'd grab Parish & Weideman from the draft... & buy in Henderson from the blues & give them Gawn.

There is absolutely no way we would willingly trade Gawn out. No way.

Good call Lamashtu.

So anyone watch 360? Did he take Roos 'to task'?

yeah, but it's extremely unlikely it's fair to say.

although they have talked about his value being around that mark.

What are the following players worth on the open market?

Howe

Dawes

Grimes

What does Garland get us if he leaves under FA?

Howe - second round pick, maybe upgrade to first if bundled with something

Dawes - late second round / early third round

Grimes - third round / early fourth

Garland will probably net us band 3 compo, depending on what salary he's offered by someone else, so likely end of second round pick. If he gets offered $600k, four years elsewhere, it might be higher, so a pick after our second rounder.

I don't.

He's a former #1 pick, and a key position player, whereas Howe is a third tall.

Regardless of knee injuries, we would have to pay a premium.

can't believe brisbane are chasing dixon so hard, offering him $750k a year.

has he ever played more than three games in a row? he's mitch clark all over again. big, tall, strong, capable of the brilliant...and really frail.

wonder what the toump's role was - that's a heap of tackles and unusual for him to not be in the key ball winners at vfl level.

where was newton?

Really didn't show it in the championships.

Good call chaser.

228 games, two all Australian selections, 1 best and fairest

Tucker should slide to second round.

I'm personally worried about him being the second coming of James Strauss. I was expecting much more from him in the championship games.

weitering and schache went head to head today in cold, blustery conditions in the dandenongs.

apparently weitering wiped the floor with him and was a clear bog, intercepting and rebounding.

when was the last time a key back went #1?
