Helps to be the no 1 ruck if you get on the park Zac.

Apparently there's a link between Buddy and Tippett that will see one or the other requesting/being told to move on.

And TMac and HL

Agree. I too like the drive of our young blokes wanting to play finals asap. Coupled with brining in older heads who have finals experience and leadership qualities. Playing finals will certainly help to keep our young stars together rather than seek opportunities elsewhere. I think Tippett would cost a lot in terms of trade and salary, and I think the AFL would crawl all over it in a flash. Like the idea, but don't think it will happen. I still think we must focus on quality midfielders.

Lol! Your grandfather isn't the shy, retiring type by the sounds of it!

I think as his tank and physical size improve, his disposal will likewise improve. Skills often drop as players get exhausted, particularly the first year guys. A lot of upside to Gus, can't wait!

Shoulder injury caused issues with form and fitness. Liked what I saw of him early on. Giant Hampton seeks trade for more opportunities

Would he improve our list Ron? That's probably the main thing to consider. That and would he want to come here.

Thank god for that!

You really don't like anyone with opposing views do you Stue? (rhetorical, btw) I thought the poster's comments were reasonable. They think it's hardly newsworthy anymore, you have an obvious fascination with footballer's extramarital affairs and who is at fault. Each to their own.

No need. He'll soon be a delisted FA. Cost nothing. Worth nothing.

4 years on $400k+ with a potential 2 year ban for a guy that's 15th-22nd best player in the team that finished bottom 6 is a waste IMO. If this is what we can look forward to then God help us.

Posters have expressed their view that the matter is a non event and not worth the oxygen it's getting. Fairly reasonable, it must be said. "So don't watch" is a cop out reply. What are you going to do if they watch? Hold your breath?

Hopefully, but EQ is usually pretty sharp.

You need to get out more Adam. The Guardian is but one. The Shovel is another!

Matthews/Christian, Round/Quade, and so on....

About the same methane levels too.

One year left on his contract. What's the bet he does the Melbourne thing: has a cracker year next year, gets a 3 year extension on big money, and then reverts to being a dud again.....

Hey, I'm just imitating our captain!

FMD, the one time I view a d-l post despite ignore..... Never again.

Bennell is a different case to Jurrah. Quite different circumstances. Are you suggesting Nev Jetta isn't a good role model dc?

According to Emma Quale, we have ruled ourselves out of having a go at Bennell. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-trades-2015-harley-bennell-jarrad-grant-and-jed-lamb-consider-their-options-20150914-gjmfs1.html

Says the guy with the world's worst comb over and Hawaiian shirt

That cowardly hit on Big Cox was enough to turn me off him. Dumb and selfish.
