Well, we're going to be going nowhere then. We need to keep improving the list every year. In fact, every club needs to do that every year, otherwise they risk falling behind. Col's a far more influential player when he plays instinctively. I just wonder whether he'll ever have the freedom to do that under Roos (and rightfully so). Spot on, mate. Very versatile. Can play on tall or small, can break the lines and isn't a bad kick.

Yeah, I reckon he will. Particularly, once we've won our 6-8 games.

He gets a three year deal, IMO.

I think we'll see six go from the main list. Bail, McKenzie, Jamar, M Jones, Terlich and Howe to be traded. Grimes will probably get a one or two year deal on very little cash. At least, that's how I'd play it.

I reckon he's closer to Chapman, but I can certainly see the Rooke comparisons too.

Love him. The pressure he brings is already so important for us. He's a real barometer.

Now, would you give Tommy Mac an 8 year deal as well? I'd certainly consider it. With the advent of free agency, list management is coming into a new age. I wonder how certain clubs will deal with it.

Neither.

10 for $10 mill.

Completely agree, mate. He's one you can build a dynasty around. With the way the salary cap is inflating each year, a mill a season for ten years probably wouldn't be a massive dint in the cap. You could also front load some of that now to ensure we can keep others down the track.

He also doesn't try to kick the cover off it, which is nice to see.

He reminds me very much of a younger Paul Chapman. His tackling gives me goosebumps. It's been a long time since a demon has tackled like him. He's pretty measured with his aggression too.

There's no chance we take McCartin even if he's available. We'll be taking two midfielders and if we only take one and then say Wright, that'll mean Taylor and co don't think much of the rest of the midfield talent in this draft. Roos has signposted all year that we'll be taking mids, mids, mids.

Well, given we've barely touched our midfield this off season, after saying everyone's tradeable, you'd bloody hope we'd look to invest in our C grade (B grade if I'm being extremely kind) midfield.

Agree, but equally, it doesn't mean he's not worth a 3rd or 4th rounder. Not saying we'll take him though.

I found the first half of the film predictable, but the final act was gripping and head ache-inducing. Bond girl Rosamund Pike is amazing. Fincher's direction is amazing, as is the cinematography. Reznor's score is wonderful too. A very solid watch.

That makes absolutely no sense. Midfielders. We need midfielders. Don't get me wrong, I'd love Cameron, but midfield is priority one.

Is that sarcasm, jazza?

Also, LOL if he landed at Sydney. Eddie would have a meltdown.

Interesting development, if true. I'd prefer we took a younger bloke like Shiel before a bloke like Beams.

Not sure if anyone's seen it, but the show that inspired me to become a filmmaker is returning in 2016, Twin Peaks. So excited. Not a film, but a DVD boxset.

If you mean the line "The Demons are set to announce a small profit this year, thanks in part to the signing of new sponsors", I think it is referencing signings such as AHG and Southern China Airlines. Could be wrong though. I heard a couple of weeks ago that we were going to post a modest profit and none of that came from AFL handouts.

It makes a little bit of sense. We need another ruckman, but also a KPF that can ruck. That'll leave Dawes and Hogan to play true KPF.

Interesting point, Mike. We know Dawes certainly won't be playing ruck. If we got Wright, that'd free up Hogan. Still, that midfield. We must strengthen the midfield. Early picks are the key to solve that problem.

Are you angling at wanting the MFC to take Duggan for our half back line, spirit? Hypothetically, let's say Roos and co rate the top 10 relatively evenly, we may try to trade one of our top picks for a player and a mid first rounder (ala the Tyson/Salem deal). It is entirely feasible that this could happen and we do require damaging foot skills...
