Yawn

2 X first rounders in any 4 years straight. We took Oliver and Weed in 2015

2018 supposed to be a super draft. Better to keep that one if possible

Had some raisins in my salad at lunch today. Hope they weren't from dc's batch. Did leave a slightly bad taste

Thought for a minute I had mistakenly wandered over to the whacko general board. We should play bulls*** bingo and see how long terms like lefty, right wing, commo, terrorist, bolshy (damn, already done!), femenista, Boltite, greenie, PC, nazi (damn!), white surpremist, etc take to be used on this thread.

I'm calling it now. All AFL players that grew up supporting Melbourne are rightfully ours

An upgrade on our current outside mids, but can be a downhill skier and the asking price might be too high. Who else might be into him?

Maybe I'm not the only one thinking like this. As I said, it begs the question. How much is Gary Ablett worth? "Yet maybe the strongest comment his victory made was about neither Ablett nor his teammates. Maybe the strongest comment was a statement from the Suns to the rest of the competition about their star player" B&F win a blow to Geelong's recruitment hopes "GARY Ablett has given Gold Coast further reason to dig its heels against attempts by the Cats to lure him back to Geelong by claiming his fourth club champion award. Ablett underlined his pure class and sunk Geelong’s hopes of getting him on the cheap by claiming the award"

You do realise they physically give the b&f award to the winner on the night? Still... awarded by the Suns internally. Senior coach for most of the year no longer there. Voted by the coaches who knew throughout the season he wanted out. And with a poorly performing list in need of best new talent. Said himself it was a surprise. Begs the question.

FYI Will Minson was a very high academic achiever too.

Or have we pulled out of the Lever race?

Like a headless chicken running out of defence

As in retire? Didn't Pedo just re-sign? Watts and our 2nd rounder for #9? Probably a steal.

#10 is enough for Lever, if he nominates us and we play hard enough

Tony, I'm not convinced Seedsman is an upgrade in any way on Tyson. Your side looks good should all those players be available. Unfortunately, history shows us that 3 or 4 will not in any given week

Of course, and if you read my post you'd see that I did We don't need players commenting on potential trades. After saying he knew nothing of it, Pig should've played a straight bat and said "that's the domain of the recruiting guys", rather than commenting on media rumours and stating that he'd love to play along side him. Media training 101 really Individually it's a storm in a tea cup, but with all the other Lever media hype we will look stupid yet again should this trade fall through. Hopefully it won't

Cook was pick 12, as was Nathan Jones. It's just a number. Comes down to our recruiters, the coaches and development team, and luck with injuries. The first two we can control, even the third, to some extent.

Interesting statement by Gold Coast to give GAJ another b&f just when they know he'll want a trade back to the Cattery. Only played 14 games, one was a stinker and a number of others under injury. Crap year for the club and he did play some blinders, but seriously??? Trying to push up his trade value for sure.

Not often enough Biff

Ouch. Close thread before Slobo gets hold of it

Sure, when he's fit, in form and not playing VFL. For 90% of the time that's not the case. I'm a fan of JW when he's consistently on song like last year. But 2017 showed it just doesn't happen enough to justify the hype. I think he sets a bar that is flakey at best and I've changed my view since 2016

Worth Jaksch s**t

Maybe or maybe a player swap (eg Watts and Frost) or a future pick, or a mix of both Red. I guess it doesn't hurt to speculate who we'd use on #10

I remember his mother being interviewed when he was drafted. Jake was eating something like 10 weetbix for breakfast at age 2.
