But why not alternate the Eagles and Dockers?

I understand why we get sent to Cat park every year due to our lack of supporters and commercial contracts etc but is there a reason we always play WCE in Perth and the Dockers as a home game?

Nah. We will be underdogs right now. Gamble responsibly 58.

We would be current favourites in 19/23 games. Underdogs against Lions, Power, Cats and Swans away.

Philactides would fit right in at Essendon.

If we can find a way to transplant the weight off Sestan and onto Jefferson in the preseason, we’ll have Charlie Curnow and Dusty in the forward line for Round 1!

The highlights package looks a bit like Rowan Marshall.

Great to see such a ‘big boned’ player get a list spot. Maybe there’s hope for me yet!

Barnett would have to be a special talent to be the right fit for us IMO. We have just signed Grundy for 5 years and another young ruckman will not help us win a flag next season.

I assumed they were doing it like the Hong Kong sevens.

At least we play Adelaide Oval well.

Does Jefferson have any ground level game? All the highlights in the video were high marks when he gets a jump at the ball. At 195cm he will need other tricks at AFL level to even be a player.

I hate the sub rule, so this is a good change. I still think we will need to plan for Gawn and Grundy to play a high percentage of game time on the ground at the same time.

What could go wrong with May, Hunter and Stack on our list?

Do we have to take two picks? And will we still have a list spot for the mid season draft? The Pies picked up Ash Johnson in the mid season draft and I think there’s a good chance to pick up talent there. I can see merit in flipping our pick into next year unless we really love someone. If we save our currency it gives us more options for trades.

Beat me by a second!

I reckon we were lucky Schache didn't get a free in the third quarter of the GF when Brayshaw steamrolled him.

We were never going to win this trade. Jackson is a star and Freo had no incentive to offer more than 70 cents in the dollar.

I have a Bulldog's friend who is an excellent judge of football and Hunter is his whipping boy for his kicking. I hope if we get Hunter that we play our wingers so they on their preferred side towards the boundary. Langdon kicks a lot out on the full on his left side. Hunter is not a defensive wingman, so we would need to adjust our game plan to be more willing to attack along both wings.

Funny, I think he is quicker than you suggest and a bit of a butcher by foot. That said, he is true winger and left footer, which helps. He is also pretty tough.

Could it be a swap for Tomlinson to reduce pressure off the salary cap?

Fitness dependent, I could see us being interested. He’s a true winger and a left sided one at that.

Bruce usually kicks a bag when Melbourne are playing so hopefully that pattern holds.

#13 & #27 for Grundy & #16 would sound reasonable. It will be linked to how much of Grundy's contract we agree to pay, which is the key thing in my mind. And we would be a good chance to get the same player at #16 or #13 anyway. (We are unlikely to get a gun KFP there anyway in this draft.) We will obviously do the sums and put a value on picks versus cap space. We might get a future pick back as well.

Crossley looks about 120kgs in the VFL.
