Much said regarding the idea of a Dawes deal @ 20 But what if we go down a different road and say look at Pedersen etc as the 2nd up fwd. Who then at 20 Who and what type ? All you drafting gurus..... Over to you

Do we know yet whether the club will seek the same clearance for Hogan as it did Viney to come under our stewardship and join in the training/program and possibly play with Casey Tia

And folks.... He'll be a year older, fitter, stronger and more mature by the time we field him in r/b

I reckon Kimberley Clark and wd&ho must be making a mint off of these boards ATM !!! Lol

How funny... We've now got to the point of arguing over Porsches, ferraris and Lambos.!! Whatever we get is a quantum improvement on our current situation. The money,the box or behind curtain 2!!! I don't really care. They're all good

Wtf are this football dept up to. They've got no idea, sack Harrington, p!ss Todd off, get rid of Neeld. We're doomed the sky is falling and the earths about to open up and swallow us. Why doesn't anyone want to come to Melbourne.................. Hmmmmm!!!!!!!!!! Lol

Collingwood dont have the upper hand unless w e give it to them. We don't NEED him, it'd just be nice. We can walk away.

And we move on

Nor I

Many of us do Old

Youre not buying in are you tpm ? Lol

I read dandeemans post simply as a referal to our 'surplus' to requirements basket of semi-nqrs ! Reality is some on our list arent much chop....and are for one !!

he is what he is, irrelevant of why. 2nd rounder and we say thankyou

If you think very carefully the answer is within the question, back to you .

I'd go a whole shaker Old

Kidding yourselves if anyone thinks a Rivers (alone) pick is a first rounder. Even with Beamer going our nett result is one (1) loss as we gained Byrnes. I'd expect a mid to late 2nd rounder at Best. If the 20 pick comes our way then the Pies might go for it. Their wallet's a bit light on trading picks, the poor dears

Be a very handy bonus. Probably take a good preason and a whiles in the magoos to size up and develop enough for afl but looks interesting for sure

A tad convoluted. We'd only need trade 13 for Dawes, everyone else can do what they like, doesn't directly affect us so why so involved.Might be the eventual result,but not our requirement

I'd love to know where the goalposts are now regarding Dawes. Weve all but snagged Hogan and whilst not available til 14 it must convey to the filth our destiny isn't particularly attached to Dawes. Doesn't mean for a moment we couldn't or shouldn't grab him as he'd make an ideal foil for Clark as of the very next game. Just we don't NEED him, just like him. The Collingwood currency just got devalued. I'm sure 4 will be kept alive and as such any idea of a Dawes/wellingham deal is really nonsense. Ray I think can fulfill that role which just leaves Dawes.... And not too many suitors and a Collingwood desperate for some more trade/picks ability , well more than it has. I'm not au fait with what we might have left to actually trade for Dawes after the Hogan deal. I don't have many sources for whispers Isn't this fun lol

Given the way things have been going of late I'd suggest as much (if not more) comes to the notion of attitudes etc. I don't know these blokes from a bar of soap but I trust our club does. They obviously see a lot to like in Hogan ( apart from the obvious footy skills) hence their intense interest and desire to snaffle him. Personally I'd love to see a player with Carey like ability on the ground in red and blue. I'm not sure a Plugger is the type we want these days.

Cooked ?? Have they even lit the gas yet ?

I only thought I was excited those other times as it was obviously a false illusion !!! LolThis time as you surmise, real change combined with an injection of meaningful acquisitions = some real chance at a competitive team. Edit: my memory does fail me Edit: my memory does fail me

Well after all the dust settles after the trading, the drafting and the trimming I'm not sure I'll recognize our team. Hallelujah and tftf !!!!! )) Don't think I've look so forward to the 1st round so much for a long long long time.

ahh but what about Le Club Foote ??Dees are going to Party !!! ( recognise anyone ? )

The Titanic has turned !!!!
