Dewy will probably go for the Roosy-Swans type players, contested contested contested. types. Hard workers under heavy attention. I don't know much about sPecial-K, other than he was as a junior, Highly touted as a skilled ball user. But I have no perception of his contact play? .

winna-winna.

And Preusst !!! & Vines. ... and a young boy they call 'de Weide'.

And yet Lever, & the Kitchen, cost Us two 1st Rnd picks. Go figure whats running through slobbo's head, other than its quite fume y, & is red, and very very tarish.

marginal stats Re clangers etc... Gaff has more time on-ground so endurance is stronger... Crossy could fix that area for Shiel. But i like Shiels clearance numbers... and his burst from inside to space. We cannot let the Hawks do us over again on player recruits. Stand up Mfc and do the DEAL. 'KadeK' will kelp us outside, and Stretch and hopefully one other, will add to our wide game. Let Gaff get off__

Does Gaff, or Shiel, have to go to the highest bidder, or do they have a choice of team they prefer irrespective of money offered? Could we get Gaff, or Shiel, even with huge offers being dangled under their noses ?

P20 & 21 isn't enough. It needs to be two top 6 picks. 2018, or one from 2019 ?

Well who needs a key tall forward, Hawks, Saints, Freo, WC could do some arranging, Pies, GCSuns definately,,, there would be no shortage of suitors for JesseH. Darling ;looks to me a bit of a worry for WC. He looks a bit suss to me. I wouldn't mind betting that the Eagles would love to have Jesse in his place.

The OMc contract was very late in the day compar4ed to big brothers, and only 2 yrs,, the timing, if I'm not mistaken, was close to the time when May was being touted publicly. and seeing clubs. then Mays touring seemed to stop. Prematurely.? Is it possible that we got what we wanted arranged,,, then gave Oscar his 2Yrs, and left Frost without Is it done and dusted ? already.

What happens, IF Gaff accepts a lesser amount from another team, other than North ?

I have a feeling we will find another small forward this year, from another team. ??? gut-feeling.

They have as much to trade as anyone does, my darling 'GLG'. a list full.

I don't think Dew will want him. Maybe Port or back to WA ? Or to Crows to replace Betts ?

What chance Saints would be interested in Jesse? They have not been the same since Riewoldt finished. Who are all the clubs that need a CHF... and have the wherewithall ?

The time is nigh, so we have him Before next May is but a memory. And next Spring's bird songs are ringing in our ears.

Because the club knows he going.. So the Coach (Dew), would want to start fresh with new experienced players,,, who can help their kids develop while being competitive at winning games. = hope. Not holding expensive players on laybuy. They GCS's will be on the lookout for mature experienced players who can lead the way, the right way. Clear the decks time up Northern climes.

In the Prelim, our Mids got belted, by the Eagles... Viney was tagged out of it... until it was all over. Trust me we need more Hard Mids up our sleeve, who can run. Jones is nearly cooked and rested, pre-dinner. almost stick a fork in him. Tyson too slow, for our setup. Petracca, seems to me too inconsistent in the Mids, doesn't run hard nor far enough, often enough. Has shown he can, but doesn't do it anywhere near enough. Tries to be Flashy, and not enough with the sleeves rolled up sort of stuff. We need more brawn from him, busting packs and things open... Whether its him coming out with the ball, or another of our players... that doesn't matter. He has to break the games open more often. It would be very easy for us to slide back next year. IMO we need fresh mid talent pressing the others. .

It wasn't a king hit anyway; it was a straight up punch to the chin.. A king hit is usually from behind, or at someone who isn't looking at you. The haymaker from hell punch. Gaff will be fine, once he moves forward.

I think he's already done, sorted... to where is the question.?? Could be hes's already signed on elsewhere, & so signed out from the eagles these last few weeks since the suspension. If so, he has missed out on a lot. It's highly likely the stress of contracts, caused his brain-fartt. .

Maybe before the Weide announced himself, and after Harmes announced his recent efforts.

It'll be Tyson or Frost, I reckon. Which means we are very advanced at getting players already.

# Backs: Lever coming back from his 2nd Reco... no promises with him. I wouldn't like to insure him Re the cost... May is a MUST. # Mids: Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes, Viney, add Max This is just one rotation of mids. need more talent. with Tyson & AVB on the way oote. # Outside mids: Fritsch, Stretch , 2 capable, hopefully, & Salem... I see Fritta as a beneficial utility, small-medium_ I don't want him to attract a lock down player just yet. He's a bit fine to resist too much close attention, just yet. A weak area of our list, regarding not enough numbers with the speed and skills. # Depth: I want us to recruit another tall forward as a project__ A couple of quick running Mids who can win their own footy & love to chase & tackle... a bit of mongrel along with their skills. _ so in short, I want us to recruit 'pairs of players', in areas we need... odd couples. a young kid and an experienced player, for each role identified... Draft and Trade. To cover both the short, and our longer outlook. .

... love it_ thanks Coach, I've been pushing Weides barrow, since 2 Yrs before drafted. I do not want us to lose him now, after all the work he's,,, And we've done... to get him to this point. He's just beginning his trade.

Sam Weideman - IF we haven't extended his contract again, by now... we better get onto it_ quick-smart. ... As Eddie and others will be circling, knocking his family door down. Josh, I hope you have successfully got 'De-Weide' boy locked into a Red'n'Blue jumper, for some time to come.
