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.

Any other team would make a formal complaint about this umpiring.

This umpiring is un [censored] believable

2 high tackles on us no free. Ffs.

Pathetic lever

Adelaide will be licking their lips, and for more than one reason, so will Norf.

Lol Pickett, does nothing but give away frees. Cant believe we've likely essentially paid more than pick 1 for him.

Umpires mustve had a talking to at qtr time for not giving port enough frees.

North licking their lips at pick 1

For the first time in living memory we get the better of the umpiring, and still getting our arses kicked anyway. Edit: Spoke too soon what a joke of a free to dixhead

Great news, get it done. Why would anyone whinge about this when we've got the likes of KK and Preuss on ridiculous fat multi-year contracts.

Disgusting umpiring

Already kicked in one game as many goals as Pickett has for the season. I'll take the guy who kicks goals thanks.

If list sizes are being reduced, he will probably be delisted.

Pickett was a big reach, and has shown nothing to suggest he is the next Cyril, Betts or Cameron as some on here are suggesting. Would've been a good 3rd or 4th round pick. He doesn't get the ball and he doesn't kick goals, couldn't even do that at U18 level. This trade is a disaster unless we start winning.

This clown will have traded more than the number 1 pick for a midget that can't get the ball and doesnt kick goals.

Smith is a joke. Pickett will end up costing massively in picks

Presumably the ridiculous 3 and 4 year contracts for KK and Preuss were Mahoney's idea too.

Well in football terms anyway. He has 2 years of decent footy left if he's lucky, given his injury history.

His trading has a stench about it, massively overpaying for the likes of an uncontracted Lever, elderly May and big reach in Pickett. And banging on about how Hogan will be getting the highest value for a trade ever seen, then trades him for one first rounder, even if that turned out OK for us.

North will be planning who they want with pick 1. May was a huge mistake, not to mention Lever. Overpaid duds.

Twould be nice if Melbourne occasionally surprised to the upside like the Hawks did, sadly we are predictably [censored].
