I have found Hertz great to deal with both here and in the U.S .Terrific service and always honour the MFC discount.

Now that we have made our 2 first round selections I cannot still understand the swap of picks 14 ,27 and 35 for pick 11 and am actually further confused .We took Tholstrup with the pick 11(now 13 ) but there was nothing to indicate that any of the 3 clubs that would have otherwise been above us were interested in him .We would presumably got him with the old 14.We structured the final list after knowing that we had 2 less draft picks.We cant claim the swap assisted in trying to deal to climb further up the board because we were left after it with a diminution of trade capital .Was there another discrete reason for what appears to be an unusual trade .?

o 'sullivan and windsor ,

Kozzie,Spargo ,Chandler and now Watson ?.Must draft Snow White as well.

Why would we give up pick 11 when we gave so much(too much?) to get it We obviously have a specific plan in mind so lets see how it plays out.

Forget all those ordinary trades of very ordinary players .We kept Clarry and Petty so that's an A+ .

a future 3rd (somewhere in the late 40s ) isn't likely in itself to lead to a team improvement but it will free up some salary cap space .Many here believed that Harmes 2019 extension was one year too generous and i think they were correct .Hopefully Lamb and Taylors present strategy is to free up salary cap space to make a run for an A grader late in the trade period. It appears that we may be

I think he will be a complete miss.Plays with even less aggression than Schache and lacks his forward nous . His only significant asset is his height , Would have most likely been delisted by Brisbane .A future fourth round at best.

Wow i read this as jed Adams and my heart skipped a beat .But its Taylor Adams so who cares

the 2 match result influencing 50s were karma for Berry's unpunished eye gouge on Clarry in last years semi.Suck it up Berry.

Why the love for Laura Kane ? .The case was virtually ended when the AFL proceeded with her and Christian jointly .What did she do to help other than a few crocodile tears afterwards .?She was in on the joke.

Carlton is a shrewd club who would be incensed at being the second case of the night .The club knows that there case is show trial number 2 only in this case the Tribunal will be out to slot them to save face over Maynard .Good strategy to limit the argument to reduced penalty.

Martin will wish his case went first and I would have expected Carlton to have agitated for this .Sadly and completely unjustly he will be offered to the public by the AFL as the sacrifice for Maynard decision.Martin now does not have a chance and is not playing Friday night.

I dont why anyone is the least surprised .It was always only going to be a show trial and as I said previously the chance of the charge being sustained were between nil and Zero the moment Christian said he wasnt prepared to charge Maynard .Told that to anyone who to spoke to.The remainder of the charade became window dressing for the AFL .The next statement will be Maynard saying the only thing that matters to him is Angus health .So cynical and predictable .

I do genuinely hope you prove to be correct and that i am completely incorrect .That would be such a fabulous outcome .But your reasoning is based on your believing that the AFL acts with integrity.That is like believing in the tooth fairy.

i believe the chances of Maynard being suspended are somewhere between nil and zero.The AFL is not even proceeding in good faith .They have made the referral a joint referral rather than a review officer referral which is unprecedented and then leaked to the media that Christian did not want to proceed with any charge .It is tantamount to a prosecutor telling a jury that "we dont think the accused is guilty but you can convict him in any case" .This is just a show trial and nothing more. Afterwards The AFL will then say "concussion is a big issue and we are there to protect the player so we are disappointed by the result.."A complete load of [censored] .

MJ was never expected to push for selection this season and it was always going to be a year of physical development . He has been very much a boy playing in a mans comp.He has wonderful hands and positions himself well so there is plenty to work with .Having said that yesterdays effort was lamentable both in effort and output. It was Schachesque. Hopefully that game was just the outlier and Matt will continue to develop and gain selection in the second half of next year .

4 to 6 .i hope its not dejavu .

puts a joyful end to a very stressful day .Now I can return to worrying about Salems knee

We have probably improved the list slightly .However our issue last year was the forward line especially the 2 key forward positions and that remains unsolved .The only clear change is Schace for Weideman which is underwhelming .A lot of pressure is now unfairly on JVR but if he doesnt come on it is difficult to see a premiership in 2023.

well at least it was a better deal than the Hogan deal.We now have draft capital to continue to deal for the next 2 days .Hopefully we have a target in mind .

But that is really the issue .There wasn't a ruckman on the list available from Casey .Gawn Jackson Daw and even Turner wern't available so it fell on Weed.Next pick for the centre square would have had to be one of the Browns and that would have been a challenge .At first blush Weed appeared to have done badly .He lost the hit outs 48/11 and dropped more marks than the 2 he took .However he contested to the extent that the Crows talls never controlled the game .Their hitouts were share between both midfields so no huge advantage was gained by them.I dont believe there was another player available who would have performed as well and it was fortunate Weed was on the list.

Schache ?That would be the ultimate victory of optimism over experience .The rest are ordinary with the exception of Jesse who is head and shoulders above the others .But alas I can only dream of his return.

i agree with the general sentiment of the post save for the reference to McStay .Dogga is light years ahead of him .Bring back Jesse .

We probably don't need a new game plan because our current one is almost fireproof .What we need do is re-start playing to this game plan and rid ourselves of the stop/start footy which has slowly but perceptibly crept in as the season has progressed.
