https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_AFL_draft Pick 26. That draft order that has us at 27 is from July. And your right GWS could also be interested. I thought Gold Coast though as they need experience, and Garland could play the 3rd tall defender role allowing KK to move into a midfield role given the departures of Presta, O'Meara and an aging Ablett & Ritschitelli.

Don't disagree. But sadly after watching Garland in the VFL this year, I think his currency is pretty low.

Freo trade Pick 3 to GWS for McCartny & Pick 7 Freo trade Pick 7 to Hawthorn for Hill & Pick 14 or 16 (dependent on if they loose this week or next week) Hawthorn trade Pick 7 & Langford to Gold Coast for O'Meara Hawthorn trade 2017 1st Round Pick & Schoenmakers to Sydney for Mitchell plus a 2nd or 3rd Round Pick in either draft. Sadly I can see it happening.

Upgrade from Pick 26 to 24 by sending Garland to Gold Coast Trade Pick 24 to Essendon for Hibberd Trade future 2nd Round Pick to Geelong for Vardy & the Cats 3rd Round Pick this year (51-54). Think there'll be enough interest in Vardy to drive up his price in a trade. Dal Santo as a delisted free agent.* *I would have a crack at both Wells or Hartlett before Dal Santo, so not sure why neither are listed as I wouldn't have thought either are unrealistic options.

Still think as well as Hibberd they'll look to bring in a forward/ruck and an outside mid. How they go about it, and who those players are no one knows???

Well at least we're both partially wrong.

Think it's one top 5 finish. Pretty sure he regularly finishes around 7th/8th.

Maybe he was flying between Moorabbin and Essendon airports? He was at Essendon when they tried to fly to Wangaratta wasn't he?

Yeah but i hear he's going to Port Adelaide Magpies.....

Final leader board here. Three Dees in the top 11. http://websites.sportstg.com/assoc_page.cgi?c=1-118-0-0-0&&news_task=DETAIL&articleID=47631832

That argument can be used for any player and should have no bearing on a player who's proved to be as durable as Dal Santo. As for a certain 22 year old out of contract Gold Coast player who's seeking a trade however, it's a different story. I know which of the two is the far riskier choice, and by your reasoning you cleary think it would be Dal Santo.

This is the guy. http://www.wafl.com.au/players/view/4672 Darcy Cameron and/or NathanVardy for the fwd/ruck role. Oscar McInerney as another ruckman on the list. Means if the rumors of Freo into Spencer are true, then if the price is right, why not?

Has there ever been a kick after the siren match you could have cared less about.....

Really the Lions should be after a Mayne. Thank you and don't forget to tip your waitress!

Officially over these two teams. Just don't care anymore!

Fitzy missed a couple of chances. Would have loved him to kick them but want his stinking team to get pumped!

Personally i see Vanders being more of a depth player next year. So given Mayne has similar numbers, i don't see the point in going out to get a free agent as depth.

I told you!

100% agree. If only we could adopt the same culture as that team who's won one flag in it's existence and hasn't made a grand final since 1961......

I suspect Harmes will be moved back to Half forward and rotate through the midfied. Think he only went to half back this year due to injuries to H & Salem, Melksham's suspension & Garland's form etc. Vince I reckon will become our run with player in the midfield as Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca etc start to take more responsability and touch wood Trengove gets back to full fitness. Hunt may also be moved onto a wing, but that's TBC. Given the above, I think White should be retained for at least one more year. Have a read back over the Casey player reports from Plapp each week. He seems a very big fan of White.

I heard Saty maybe getting traded for Range Rover.....

Can they get the camera off Jong. Give the poor guy a minute!

Jamar will always have one more AA then Boyd.

I'd just go with stupid Thursday Night footy. Not a fan of it! Can't they just stick with Friday-Sunday football? Luke Darcy commentating tonight is going to make it a very long night!

Come on Dogs! Only team in the 8 I could stand seeing win it.
