I think Lake was 'only' 29 when he was traded, big difference to a 32yo in football years anyway. Smith will probably fall off a cliff next year if he's losing his pace.

What does Preuss have to do with smith, who is an unrestricted free agent. Not like we'd have to trade for him. Hope we don't go for a 32yo anyway.

Great news. Hunt next please.

Good to hear about petty and sparrow. Bemused by Smith though, what a waste of a list spot, he's a dud. Hurry up and sign Hunt already. But you know Mahoney will trade him for a token pick.

He'd be my pick too, as he can play outside mid and has some toe by the looks. GWS seem to offload their former first rounders who can't get a look in relatively cheaply too, just depends if we can convince him to come. Yeah they do need points to make up their points deficit or pay for academy picks etc, so they would value something like a 3rd rounder more than us you'd think.

Trade him for one of the GWS first rounders that are OOC: O'halloran, Caldwell or Hateley whichever fills our needs most. They'll all have more talent than whatever we might get in the second round this year.

Why are we trying to lowball him with a contract after the ridiculous contracts given to duds like kk and mediocre types like Tomlinson and preuss. Give him a decent contact you muppet Mahoney, or even better go work somewhere else.

No thanks way too old, output will probably drop off a cliff next season.

With players like McGovern, Martin and Williams on massive contracts how are they going to keep their good young players. Let's hope they can't.

If hes not getting a game for a bottom 4 side he couldn't cost mote than a 3rd rounder you'd think. Never seem him play though.

Freo resting Walters and taberner?

Kicks goals whenever he gets a game, has speed too. 2 things we sorely need. Hope we try to keep him like we should've kept Kent. Delist the out and out duds like Smith and the Wagners instead thanks.

Doesn't get the ball, doesn't kick goals. Didn't do it at U18 level either. Gives away frees, average skills, poor decision making. Some of that will improve obviously but he's not what you'd want from a high draft pick.

How is Smith still in the team?!

Smith and the Wagners need to be delisted. KK should retire ASAP for the sake of his health.

Pickett will likely never average more than a handful of possessions, and never kick many goals. Does a flashy move every so often though. Skills seem very average. Not the kind of player you give up what we did for.

Joel Smith? Yuck. He's just not up to AFL standard. Hopefully will be delisted at years end.

Blunder could only refer to not having a goal line camera. Even saints fans admit it was a goal.

The ball may have been touched, but no person with eyes could argue it was before the line. Should've been a mark anyway.

Disgraceful umpiring to get Carltank the opportunity to win.

GC didnt offer him a contract, they knew he was cooked. Bizzare that he got a fat 3 year contract with us. Unfortunately you'd think he needs to retire for the sake of his health.

If Grundy plays we should pummel into him off the ball non-stop, seems that's fine to do.

Pig's [censored] you didnt know Gawn was injured, Nicks. Everyone knew he had scans during the week and might've missed. Players clearly instructed to target him way off the ball. Wouldn't be a bad thing if Nicks never wins a game and gets the sack.

Great pickup and for a favourable trade price too, unlike us.

Not surprised theyve made an example out of our player rather than Burgoyne. And did viney cop concussion from the murphy hit? Now he's out and the offender only gets 1 week.
