Moloney telegraphed his intention way way before anyone cared one way or the other. That he followed it up with a particularly nothing season was also his doing. I wouldn't play cards if i were Brent.

hes already coming youd think theyll now concentrate on the next acquisition

I think Dawes value to us weakened once the Viney pick Hogan selection all panned out as we had hoped 2014 Clark Hogan. Dont HAVE to get A Dawes now...just a decent lump as Fidge outlined above. Of course if we got him inexpensively...well..

im really starting to lean towards the 'adequate' lump scenario .

i agree. Be like a normal trade period now. Nothing nothing rumour nothing then all hell brsaks loose during the final hours.Tis all Mexican standoff now i think

The longer it takes...the better for us. Fun isnt it ! Lol

I'd never ever trust Carlton. What they say and what they do, well........ They would have happily taken Cloke, so place absolutely no value on words coming from visa park !! They lie and cheat you know !!! Lol

Well they need someone to stir that pot they keep bringing out,probably be he's forte

I find that comforting and reassuring

Probably true. Much is theory though til you actually get to the table and see what the other guy is prepared to do etc.

He's a bit light....and a bit wide eyed just ATM but he presents well this lad. You can certainly see a theme in the types were NOW selecting. Geez a McLeod/Rioli type weaving through the middle in red and blue !! Here's the run carry type to compliment the jones' and vineys Is Dom.....is good !!

I find it rather amusing that the first FA/trade season hasn't even reached half way and already clubs have figured out how to bend it to suit..lol Humans are resourceful creatures hehe

Love to know what Neelds questions were... And the answers Geez he's a big unit this lad (already !!) ...imagine after 2 preseasons

What is it that they say, don't let facts get in the way !!! LolI wonder if much of the reason why we haven't done a deal is simply we aren't desperate for him so won't get sucked in. Walsh wil be pumping up all the tyres. Harrington knows there are options. We have far more options than they do here. The best haggling often involves the the suitor being prepared to genuinely walk away. We can and might. There's weeks to go lol

Has a kicking action that needs tweaking though. No biggee

Sam seems quite interesting. A good back project type. We've put so much emphasis on the mids and forwards but we have to have up and comers everywhere.

Mightn't happen but I like it Where do we sign ?

I tend to agree. You'd think Pedersen capable of the role at a much more economic cost.Maybe we were just seeing how good a deal we could get from the filth and if not palatable then come on down Cam !

That obvious ?

That's nver rpfc !!

First thing I though was....what if he's our Jetta (L)

Nett gain = being better off than when you started. Simple terms improved list.

But do we need that 2nd fwd to be pick 20?We will have lower picks

Sorry to disappoint lolDawes is a choice, but if we decline the wonders of Collingwoods list.. Who I keep going to the notion of roles. We only need someone who can adequately perform as 2nd up fwd. doesn't need to be a gun etc

We're on our way people's. The direction of choices so far taken both prior to the circus and now during it sown we've learnt,as a club,the mistakes not to repeat. We seem far more savvy, more attuned to what you need on a list to create a performing-winning team. We've made the wrong decisions at times in the past but worse repeated them. Our list is riddled with these errors. It won't be nearly so disadvantaged come the end of the draft. I'm sure I'm not the only one to observe we've turned a corner now. Kudos to the current regime. I'm not silly enough to think every pick and trade will be perfect but I sense the margin for error is greatly reduced . This is all the result of some serious soul searching at the MFC and some hard admissions of not only where we were but where we weren't !! There's been wholesale change..... At long last Often Ive gone into the new season hopeful and expectant. 2013 I'll be genuinely confident we can be actually competitive. Success will follow.
