Spot on. I'd prefer Brent Harvey, and I can't stand Brent Harvey.

I hope this isn't true: AFL Trade Whisperer‏@AFLTradeWhisper #whispers Dees said to be interested in S. Motlop. Cats haven't shopped him as of yet, but it's understood he's gettable #AFLTrades

Unless James & his father are the types to forgive and forget I can't see him ending up at the filth. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/craig-stewart-slams-former-club-collingwood-over-lack-of-respect-for-son-james-stewart/news-story/22989cd60663438a8ff3aa210a15fee8

Unless Lumumba retires, then I'd be shocked if he isn't there next year. White had a very good year in the VFL and is still very young with plenty of upside. Again I expect him to get a 3rd rookie year.

Rumor going around that we are looking into him. I'm very keen as I think he ticks a lot of boxes with his ability to play multiple positions. Commitment seems to be a slight issue, however with Macca in his ear, I'd like to think we could get him very cheap and have something really special on our hands. I'm all for him. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-15/meet-tom-lamb http://www.aflplayerratings.com.au/Ratings/Player/120116/Tom-LAMB

Pretty much agree with all of the above. However I'd have no issue with moving both Dunn & Garland on. Pedersen in the gun also.

Fixed.

2nd round picks for Dunn & JKH??? Your name isn't Dodoro is it?

I wouldn't mind Stewart, especially if Hogan were to leave. But if the rumors about Hogan signing an extension are true then I feel he'd be low on our radar. Word is he's capable of playing 2nd ruck, however 19 hit outs in 17 AFL games in 2015 when he was playing the 2nd ruck/forward role doesn't fill me with confidence. I think we're better off drafting Darcy Cameron and picking up Luke Lowden as a DFA personally.

I wonder what @Grand New Flag thinks of this rumor ie: does it have any substance?

Our skipper played his junior football down Mt Eliza way.

Yep, three good servants of the club who gave their all during a very difficult time. Really feel for Grimey as you know how much he loved the club.

Anyway, as for Ben Kennedy, I still think he can be a valuable depth player for us. The guys a tough competitor and has decent pace. He started the year in very good form but seemed to tire as the year went on with him playing more games this year then in any previous. I don't think he's ever going to be a star, but a more then handy depth player who can rotate through the midfield and as a small forward to keep the likes of Garlett & Kent honest.

They may be looking to beat Freo to the punch with Cam McCarthy? Rory Lobb is getting talked about a lot. Aaron Black from North on the move? Mason Shaw had a good year in the WAFL, There could be a few other options that they may also be looking at and after Darling's last two finals, I'm not surprised they're looking to move him on.

Happy with this if true. As DD says, attitude is a concern, but the kid has serious talent. A genuine swing man who can play forward, mid & down back. If we recruit Lamb & Josh Watts, we could have a couple of potential strong utilities that would add a different dimension to the team. Let Macca go to work on Lamb and we could have a real steal here. His old man apparently played a couple of games back in 93' for us also. Would be nice to have our 5th Father/Son (Viney, Stretch, Smith, Maynard & Lamb).

Casey B&F is Thursday night I think, so possibly Friday or into Monday,

While I still want us to draft Cameron (see above) I think Luke Lowden is someone we could also look at as a delisted free agent. Played the majority of the year in the SANFL as a 2nd ruck/forward to good effect it seems booting over 20 goals. Unable to get a look in at the Crows behind Jacobs & Jenkins. Would cost us nothing as compared to Nathan Vardy who is also more injury prone. Will turn 26 before the start of next seson. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-09-23/crows-delist-exhawk-luke-lowden-and-youngster-keenan-ramsey http://www.aflplayerratings.com.au/Ratings/Player/115529/Luke-LOWDEN Wouldn't at all be surprised if Hawthorn try to lure him back.

I'm not against trading ANB, but not just for the sake of it like Dunn or Garland. Unless we can get an early 3rd Round Pick or a player that we think would specifically help our list eg Nathan Vardy (ruck/forward) then I'd rather hold onto him. The kids come 5th in the VFL B&F in his 2nd year, so we've clearly got something to work with.

What's with them having a different Crows supporter talk about each round of football?

Gee Alex Lloyd has been in a good paddock!

TBA

Michie (Rookie), Max King (rookie), Terlich, Newton, Matt Jones, Pedersen, Dawes = delist Grimes = walk as free agent Dunn, Garland = trade for what we can get Hogan traded in worst case scenario and Nibbler if we get offered something good for him Wagner upgraded White to get a 3rd year on rookie list & Smith a 2nd year So that gives us 7 senior list vacancies (if Hogan & Nibbler stay) & 3 rookie list spots. Would allow us to trade in Hibberd and possibly one more experienced player, 4 picks at the draft and maybe a DFA. Or someone like Matt Jones may in fact get a 1 year extension.

Turns 26 in Feb.

Disappointed to see so many people happy to see the Dolphins go under. Having grown up in Frankston (haven't lived there for about 8 years) I can say i find this news very sad. A once very proud club no longer exists. Multiple division 2 titles and players drafted into the AFL including our soon to be Michael Hibberd, former Ryan Ferguson, Mark Baguley, Sam Lloyd & Aaron Edwards. A sad day for football.....

I've watched a lot of Tim Smith iver the last few years and have always been a fan. He's always been a very good mark, however he was very inconsistent and used to be an average shot for goal at best. His goal kicking improved over one off season however and this year he has been far more consistent, being named ar CHF in the VFL team of the year. Don't know if we'd be the team to draft him unless they think of moving Hulett to defense, as i think any key forwards we add in the off season will have an ability to play ruck or in worst case scenario and Hogan goes, be a stop gap option till Weideman's ready like Jay Schulz. Could see him walking into Richmond's 22 however as that 3rd tall forward.
