  1. I think Hogan would be worth two early 1st Rnd picks, as he has shown just the other year, how dominant he can be, as he grows his body & confidence. He has the ability to dominate defenders like Rance & Lever or any you want to throw up as opponents. He has just had the season of hellish proportions, & next year if he stays will be his best in a Melbourne side cherry ripe to go into finals action. I rate Hogan as extremely valuable & will be the equivalence of Danger, Hodge, or any of the AFL's superstars in recent time. Its still early days on Lever & he's a defender. Now if he turns into a swingman, then that's different, if he can become Harry Taylor type. early days.
  2. We can't afford small players that are slow & lack X. They have to have weapons of some description.
  3. What about B Matera, do you have any thoughts on him?
  4. Do we want Brandon Matera ourselves?
  5. They possibly would, but not certainly, as they don't have any other good tall forwards that I know of. The point I'm making is your overvaluing Gibbs. And comparing Lever to Rance, who is a number of years into an elite footy career. So Rance is an established elite player. Lever is just a spring chicken in terms of playing that top level, on a consistent year on year basis. Its not about so much about Gibbs perceived trade value, as we don't want to trade with Carlton if don't have to. But my reasoning is more about this willingness to give away more than we should have to to bring a player into the club. Sometimes I think we can talk ourselves into bidding, against our own bids. We have to learn to play hard ball, if we are to learn to fight it out against the tougher clubs. They are no push over because they value they're own club interests, ahead of other clubs. We have to play with the same set of rules.
  6. That may well be but I don't think others hold a player going on 29 before the bounce of 2018 as high as you seem to. He's probably got 3 good years, in him. Is he on your books? Take Riewoldt out of the tigers forwardline & they will falter to score. Take Rance out, and the opposition will score more, but Richmond will still be able to score well. The Tiger defenders would have to work harder & smarter. And they would probably have more pace & run. But they wouldn't be as good. I think Riewoldt's more recent seasons have him undervalued, because of his poorer early years & temperament.
  7. Yeah Riewoldt every time. Now rance v tex walker?
  8. Why do you value Gibbs so high? He is 28.5Yrs already, with shot legs. He's not that valuable. Early 2nd Rnd pick, if it's in 2018. I think he's in the range of 15 - 20, in 2017 draft picks.
  9. Yep, Lever for our 2018 1st Pick, & 2017 2nd Pick. That should do it. No more.
  10. No, an intercept Tall Defender is no way as valuable or as rare, as a Key Tall Forward. Not on the same page.
  11. Adelaide good. The further the west he goes, the better I think. As far from us as possible.
  12. Mcguire's short Lease on presidency. Some might say he's got buckley's chance, holding that post?

  14. Garland to the Pies Pendlebury to the Crows Lever to Melbourne. Dunn deal.
  15. 2020 the best of the lot. So we better wait until then, before using our ND picks.
  16. Wattsy for Zac.
  17. Just like buddy will. Key players are worth the pay. Has Lewis already payed his way, this year?
  18. I wonder if he is about the same value as Watts would be?

  21. I think thats why they did the deal, & the AFL wouldn't like it dragged into the courts once again, just as the drugs saga is being put to bed. it also allows us to focus on further improvements, if opportunity knocks. I'm very happy to have M Hibberd. ... now, i'm also disapponted we don't have any real national draft action to look forward to.
  22. The list managers are all playing mind games, so the only ones who know whats going on is the list mangers individually, in their own thoughts. The media are just picking up the spilt scraps.. Purple is just one of the seagulls.
  23. thats worth zilch. he can walk because of the drugs saga. And a safe working environment.
  24. That makes sense, & likely Mahoney was aware of this... It probably helped us, as the Hawks would be desperate to rejig their midfield with young guns. Hence the cheap pick arrangement for Jordan.
  25. I know, those browngold colours put the vision off colour, don't they.
