They're not going to tell the Irish clubs until the AFL paperwork is done in case the Irish clubs convince the players to not leave Ireland (although it's all amateur isn't it so it's not like they can up their pay) -
Damn. Irish players can turn into pretty good players. At least we're showing an interest again.
-
We should have room for about 2 SSP or midseason pickups which might be handy in a weak draft - have players train with us or show form as a 19 year old.

I think after his contract extension he broke up with his girlfriend which set off a domino reaction with him going off the rails, getting injured, missing preseasons and losing fitness and confidence (and the contested midfield game evolving a bit). Plus obviously Goody, Pert, Roffey leaving since then. In Melbourne's defence he was coming of a 2 time AFLCA player of the year award.
-
That would be an ok outcome but maybe our interest would be dependent on finding a taker for May?
-
If Freo also get pick 19 in their pick swap can't we get that instead of pick 23? I guess Freo will just wait until 2min before the trade deadline and we'll cave and accept 23.

Oops, meant a forward 20-25 would be a good age.
-
If we're outside our window aren't we better off getting a youngish forward (aged 20-35 would be perfect) who will be part of our finals in 2-3 years after our mini rebuild? I guess none wanted to come to us but surely there's a few high potential developing forwards in the twos of other clubs.

The signs were always there when he had a fancy Italian restaurant with the saints and only a low-key coffee with us...
-
He had a stupid haircut anyway.

We're officially basket club status if Wade '0 games' Derkson is rejecting us
-
Just out of curiosity if he stayed at the club and accepted his new role, not as an inside mid, what would the new role be? (And don't say Casey). Just can't see any other realistic positions on the ground for him.
-
Depends if he's just after the $

No one goes on holiday to Adelaide so it's not looking good...

Who will have the legs in the last quarter?
