Being devil's advocates for a second, that could change if someone reasonably important in our list wanted a change of club. We all say NO! when Jetta or Gus are raised, but they are yet to re-sign beyond 2018. And that's not even considering the slim possibility that a player within contact might want out. Sure a RFA could join us for SFA, but more often than not (or ever), particularly in the last 5 years, they are traded for.

Two pot shots in the same post. Hilarious!

It's unfounded when based on clearly incorrect facts, or a sample using only Friday night's game vs Swans. We might listen f you made a case based upon reason and real facts without the woe is me

Hey fellas, don't let facts and reason get in the way of unfounded opinions

Norf I'm guessing. He's 26. Are they really prepared to pay him big money at 33? Probably front loaded so he gets $350k in years 6 and 7.

That's what you'd call a well hung fruit, dc

Yeah, nah. Getting ready to stick a fork in him. Nearly done

Ah, so he's a Richmond fan! Always thought of Trump as a Punt (Rd)

Anyone can see that if there was an option to poach a rising young gun then the first looked at would be our veterans, especially if their contract can be shifted from the cap. We have enough leadership to cope now. Players can't stay on our list forever, despite the thoughts of fanboys Great intel by Dee-licious too. Much appreciated

I'd admire him more is his evacuations were at the front door of Eddie McGuire's mansion

Maybe we should all evacuate

Hey dc, you didn't tell us you had 'moved' to Queensland! https://www.theage.com.au/business/companies/aveo-executive-resigns-after-being-identified-as-poo-jogger-20180607-p4zk1e.html

Unfortunately we'll have to accept using pick 18 then ?

I heard Jake Lever say in an interview that Jason Taylor and Todd Viney were into him for about 18 months before he signed with us. He was impressed by their determination, persistence and confidence that he was the right person to target.

Yes but they certainly wouldn't give up pick 10 let alone 25 or even 35 imo

Can they marry?

Now that would certainly be an appealing cruise Ethan

Not disagreeing that we got great value for the trade in hindsight, but I highly doubt Taylor or any club would call a 2nd round pick 'nothing'. And Pig wasn't an AA at the time. We differ in views, no biggie.

I think Adelaide's 3rd rounder that we have will be about 36 or 37, which will get pushed back by F/S and academy matching. They get our 4th rounder, which will be late, so they may not use it. Our 1st rounder that they have will be 18.

Hibbert was not brought in "for next to nothing". He cost us a 2nd rounder (and a swap of later picks). A few good players were taken at that point or later in the draft, such as Tom Stewart for Geelong and Jack Graham/Shai Bolton for Richmond. Of course, none with the experience of Hibberd, but they look to be handy players (arguably). Happy to have Pig with us. Some on Demonland thought a 2nd rounder was too much!

Which of our player/s would we be prepared to lose from our list to accommodate a player such as Gaff? OOC or FA: Gus, TMac, OMac, Jetta. Who else? Not playing seniors: Tyson, Jeffy, JKH, Stretch, Hunt, Wags, Frost Veterans: Bernie, Lewis Removing a half a doz players to fit Gaff within the SC doesn't make sense. We have a set minimum number of players to list in 2019 and don't have unlimited draft picks. 5 poor players are not equal to one star. I'm thinking we may need to trade for Gaff even though he's RFA. This has been the trend in the last few years for quality, eg Danger

Or so he could get some skin in the game?

Only takes one source to find and then leak the lost documents. Who will it be?
