Jetta and Bugg are both neat kicks, not lethal kicks. Not an issue at all. Judd is a neat kick. Fyfe is a below-average kick.

I remember that there was a lot of talk about McStay wanting to come back to Victoria a few months ago. He is going to be a very good tall forward and would complement Hogan perfectly. I doubt that the kick at the park means much but that would be a very good trade for us to make.

Even if he doesn't come back with extra speed, he can still play the Beau Waters/Daniel Cross intercept half-back role with his elite marking and footy IQ.

In fairness, so did Josh Kennedy and Marc Lecras. Sinclair was great all year.

It has been reported a few times that Sydney Swans are going after Callum Sinclair (and Zac Smith). He is a good forward and a good ruck with a huge tank, great hands and good skills. He is a Victorian (dad played for Saints and Fitzroy). I think he would compliment Hogan and Gawn perfectly and he would not cost the earth. If he is willing to move to Sydney for some money, he might be keen to move to Melbourne too.

You two are the same person, right?

I agree, although: TOP 10 SANDOVER MEDAL VOTE WINNERS Aidan Tropiano (Perth) – 45 votes Ashton Hams (South Fremantle) – 44 Sam Menegola (Subiaco) – 41 Menegola, meanwhile, joined Subiaco in 2015 after being left of Peel Thunder's list and despite not appearing until Round 11, he immediately showed his quality and ability to dominate games as a ball-winning, hard running and goal kicking midfielder. Not bad at all.....

Late bloomers, etc. etc. He was on an AFL list.

Tim Gossage said that he's better than half of the midfielders in the AFL on SEN last week.

Freo can't get all of Bennell, Jetta, McCarthy, Carlise, Leuenberger this year. Ross has already said publicly that Freo will review recruiting policies after being burned by Sylvia. He has also been burned by Josh Simpson and Andrew Lovett. Bennell is in a similar boat, it seems.

Pure gold

Nah I want Josh. Ben sucks.....

Agree completely, although Hannebury had the best beep test result at the draft camp in his year

Bugg is a better version of Steven Baker (without the sociopathic tendencies) in that he can play back pocket or midfield tag. He is a neat left foot kick and always gets under his opponents' skin. Can accumulate and sneak a goal too.

I don't want to have to hear Luke Darcy say 'He's had a few amateur bouts in his time' or 'He's quite handy with the gloves, BT' every MFC game i watch for the next 8 years.

http://www.sen.com.au/news/09-15/trade-sentral-toumpas-carlton-jetta#52y1iMVxy7vJtX5t.97 Brett Anderson reporting that there is a 'very good chance' he is at another club next year.

I'd say the complete opposite. He's soft with below average skills.

A couple of years ago, Jack Viney told me that he believes Hrovat will be the best AFL player from his school year of Viney, Macrae, Jaksch, Ashby and Hrovat.

Greg Denham mentioned pretty much under his breath that both the Saints and us are having a look at him. He has struggled with injuries a little bit and has struggled to break in to a young Bulldogs side that has a lot of young mids and small forwards. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him in for the right price but I wouldn't pay heaps for someone so unproven (and small).

So Petracca is off to Adelaide then. Just our luck

How can people froth over the prospect of bringing in Riley, Michie, Newton, Magner, Couch, who were all completely unproven at AFL level, whilst denigrating Melksham, who has played some good footy at AFL level in one of the most horrific environments for a sporting team in world history? Melksham played some great footy in the first half of this year as a half-forward. Goodwin will have slightly more insight than most here.

I think Trengove is a perfect replacement for Crossy off half-back. He has the elite marking for a mid-sized player, plus a high footy IQ. He is perfect for the Beau Waters role.
