Don't think he should've got another contract.

knee Nasher, didnt look good, bent sideways

hopefully just a collateral lig if it went sideways

Gawn knee, not sure how bad

They just replayed it but i missed it damn

What happened to Gawn?

Lol that was comedy that run of play to goal

Sydney didn't play their strongest side and winning this game wasn't their top priority. Tanking?

Yep, playing Dean towers in the ruck FFS. If we did that we'd be investigated for sure.

So much for those taking him in a heartbeat.

At 28 with 10+ years and 200+ games his body is finished.

At best he was a wonderful inside mid but was slow as treacle.

Given our lack of outside class and pace, Ball is not what we needed as a footballer ATM.

And if Roos was not going to extend an offer to Ryan OKeeffe then he certainly wouldn't to Ball.

And FWIW, draft tampering or not Ball made the right decision to pick Collingwood. Played in a flag and had he gone to MFC in the PSD he would have been trampled as the only legit inside midfielder with Jones.

Try 30, qwerty

Yep, if we did that to a Cats player we'd be investigated, fined and stripped of picks.

Yep i always thought KHunt gave it his all. But for the $$$ cash he was offered who wouldn't!!

$cully doesn't seem to give a [censored] on the field.

Ugh

I don't get the relevance to Mitch Clark?

woops wrong thread

Lucas Cook worst pick ever, such a dud.

We get screwed against the SA teams too. Actually, we get screwed against every team.

Surely he'll get in the ballpark of 600K for 4+ years, that will get us the deserved band 1 compo

Sylvia is now getting paid the same wages as a 15 year old at McDonald's and we still managed to get a second round pick for him despite an average 2013 season (although he did come 5th in out b&f)

I found out Sylvia is playing for virtually nothing at a recent Richmond v freo game at the MCG - a knowledgable freo member told me at the game. Way below what the average 10 year player should be on.

Now Frawley will get paid at least double what Sylvia is on and can anyone argue Frawley's 2014 has been any worse than Sylvia's 2013?

The club needs to give Frawley a top 5-7 finish in the b&f.

In conclusion , if Sylvia fetched us a 2nd rd pick, I still think there's a chance we'd be able to get pick 3 for chip.

That would have no effect on the compo we receive unfortunately

What's this bs Evans has come out with now? Players have to basically die before a PP will be awarded? Making it up as they go.

We have Tyson who struggles with a tag and a bunch of draftees who cant get double digits in posession counts. Wouldnt say it was an overwhelming draft last year. Tyson is a bandaid solution when compared to Josh Kelly and now we are looking at doing it again. Our past draft failures were a result of BP targetting the wrong type and the game changing.

If we cant learn how to draft well and develop then we may as well fold now.

This the same Josh Kelly that gets 0 posessions in nearly half a game as sub? Tyson is no bandaid.

Trade.

I like the guy, but we are in the trenches - and we need fighters.

When we get to the top of the hill, Jack would be great - give him a sniper rifle and let him pot blokes off as they come.

I'll want to be fighting alongside Jack Vineys and Nathan Jones' when I'm stuck in the trenches.

Need a few sniper types too though

All for trading it if the Saints take Petracca

We won't know who they're taking in the draft as it's after trade week though.

I say we try to deal with GWS again, and also get soem of their fringe types cheaply, the likes of Golds, Whiley, Sumner etc are so much more talented than our fringe players it's not funny.

the PP is for special assistance

Mark Evans can [censored] if he thinks giving us pick 20 will be enough

Pick 1 should be given to us without question

It's a bit wrong that he has decided we're not going to get a R1 pick before he;s even looked at our submission. Isn't he a Carltank supporter?

Keep, he's hardly our worst player, and we won't get much for him if we do trade him.

The public still seem to think we don't 'deserve' a pp. I want to ask them under what circumstances should a team receive a pp then?

Only if their club was in the same situation would a PP be warranted.

Must be a before round 1 pick

On the radio. Apparently Daniel Talia is playing for the dogs and Mitch Clisby is a former Adelaide crow.

He's a good chance to be All Australian, and exactly the type of player we need, not only is he a linebreaking highly skilled half back, he's a genuine leader, two time premiership player, coming from the swans culture who has played under Roos, he'd move into the role seamlessly

it's an absolute no brainer from my point of view

Don't think he played in their '05 flag
