Building a tight group.

These Essendon pick 9 shennanigans are a real pain in the behind. I hope if Essendon pass on Sharp to try and outfox us, and Collingwood are keen on Sharp (as Cal has suggested they are) then we deal with them and their F1 (condolences to Sharp being an Essendon fan) to stick it right up em.

Sorry if mentioned, interesting GWS head of talent on SEN this morning said they traded to 12 because they felt there was a top tier of 10-12 players but didn't have any interest in the rest of the draft. Super happy with this outcome.

Heavy hints at requesting a trade again next year.

That was very unconvincing.

Putting aside everything I think of him or his footy, to me this is an obvious 'Sell high' opportunity. I personally don't see Trac doing a Boak, Sidebottom, Danger etc. who thrive into their 30s. I'm sure he's got at least a few great years in him but I'm happy to take that chance if our flag tilt looks to be a few year away. I know leadership is important in building that next team up, but I suppose the club doesn't think he provides that either. Have loved your work over the years Trac, hope you find what you're looking for.

I wasn't as disappointed in Trac's performance tonight, he wasn't amazing but showed glimpses again. I think what I'm more over is his attitude, he exudes negativity. Some will put it down to his competitiveness, I just don't really agree. There's an ego there that hates to be bruised and thrives off publicity (in my onlooker opinion). His trade value probably still exceeds his worth to the team and so I know what my choice this off season would be, though I don't envy whoever has to make the call.

Sparrow has one good moment every 4-5 games. For a big body he's way too soft in the contests. So what does he offer? I'd absolutely be looking to move him on for a pick.

Every. Single. Game.

Trac is an expert finger pointer.

Gonna pretend he didn't try and chest mark that.

Tommy Mc keeping Darcy quiet has been huge. Will definitely get his due credit in the media.

Umps pulling frees from deep within their @ss and missing the most obvious ones of ours.

Really well spoken by Goody, massive respect. Does he want a coaching gig?

We pick the oddest timing for everything hey.
