So will Caro now retract her scathing critique of Dusty and proclaim him as the reformed prodigal son? Doubt hugely that she'll continue her attack on him now that he's back in the fold. Rarely a harsh word to be said about her beloved Toiges.

Beg to differ. Brody Grundy will be the best in the comp in 3 yrs. Clarke (Freo) and Zac Smith will be thereabouts. If Gawn's knees hold up, he'll be in the top 5.

Imagine both, woweee!

Wonder if anyone in the audience will be cheering that move.

Good. Puts that to bed.

Anyone judging others for constructively discussing options to improve our overall list on a trade rumour mill thread, regardless of probability or popularity, should be ashamed of themselves.

Slow news day. BS rumours make good space fill.

Are we still trying to hide Zak under a rock somewhere? I reckon Nate would be ramping up the chatter in Roos and TViney's ears about his younger bro.

Didn't Alistair Lynch get some special deal or approval for taking a banned drug due to CFS? Not sure. Nevertheless, Shaw has been taking ADHD drugs for many years, so this is not correct Chippy. I have contact with an ex of his and I can confirm that he is a bit of a loose cannon in terms of discipline and control, especially when he is off the meds.

Madness, I say. Boyd is worth far more than H Shaw and pick 10. And I would have thought that if GWS have Buddy, they could do a lot better by trading pick 1 to Coll (eg Swan), St K, WB or Carl rather than drafting a young kid.

That's not a bad suggestion HR. Won't be popular with many here. Perhaps a better a better option in 12 mths time because we'll get a good look at Hogan in the big time and also see if Clark can get on the ground consistently enough. Clark to Freo for Hill or Barlow and a swap of picks might work. Article in today's little paper Age talks about Freo's lack of attacking options: http://www.theage.co...0929-2umii.html

I would have thought that Hardwick (with Williams' support) was a strong, convincing coach. Dusty may just be one slip up away from having his career ended, whether it be from criminal contacts, substance abuse or other issues. I'm of the view that if you don't want to be treated lie a child, then stop acting like one. Whilst I have never met Martin, the fact that Richmond feel the need to put so much child minding resources into him indicates he's ready to explode personally. That's the last thing that MFC needs. No thank you. Pass.

If he had any ticker, he'd have taken the competition by the scruff of the neck and done something about success years ago.

Not a bad scenario B&R Head. GWS need to reduce their list, and this effectively does that by 1 and upgrades them for a compo and and a player that was going to leave anyway. The issue is, does Adams want to become a Dee and what is his asking price? Personally, I'd also prefer Couch to Freeman. However, welcome aboard the SS Madhouse.

What salary cap? They have none to speak of.

Don't thinks so BB. You've kept the faith and there is the chance you may be able to work on the grandkids if/when that arises.

Don't think it's a big call to say that Cheney won't be at the Hawks for too much longer, certainly not for 5 years. Cam Bruce did zip while he was there. For the most part, our delistings or 'trades to get rid of' have not hurt us (Scott Thompson to Adel was not of our choosing). Whether that is because they were no good or we unfortunately 'Melbournised' them is another issue. However, you are correct in implying that we have been poor at player development, Puntkick.

Oh dear..... If Jack busted some of those moves on the field I would seriously lol. Might be one method of "selling candy" as he streams towards the goals.

Trollollollollooooo!

Err, I think you'll find the one on your avatar happened a while back Toady.

Oh good lord. Can one of the mods please get rid of this demoneye fool? He's filibustering every thread.

Great clip of the past players. Guy Rigoni certainly looks like he'd struggle to get his old jumper on again!

Bitty, I think Toady's advice on this thread would be to post as much as possible without saying anything of value. I believe he's advised you well.

Lol! Thanks or the laugh BB.
