Just a bit of advice, calm the farm!

Your hurdle is probably your attitude and not your age..

Watch the Laverde highlights if you haven't already.. There is something special about him. I know they're highlights and its a lottery and everything, but you have to imagine if we can develop him, he could be elite. Anyone see him play live much?

Jones is serviceable, Barry is a project that is only 2 years in- there's obvious potential there if he has been given enough time to realise it. Terlich was a bit early and premature considering trade period hadn't ecen begun

If only you had done that 9 months ago you wouldn't be in this predicament now would you? #badplanning #lackofforesight

i would have said Hairy Garry is an option, but then I remebered that his media career can't be interrupted by the very thing that gave birth to it. Meanwhile Eddie McChineyChins is a president and runs the media, really wish Garry had more time for the club, on his time- not when begged to!

We need mids, and we are also a quality key forward short. Pick 3 can net us either. I have NFI what way we're going but don't understand why games are still being played. Trade periods over, it is of no consequence to us if we reveal our hand right now, unless they don't want to verbally commit to anyone in case of last minute change of heart- which would be weird

So if ASADA deem AFLs punishment insufficient they can over rule them with their own punishments, or add to them? I'm hoping the AFL do something like take away 1st and 2nd round draft picks for 5 years, and ban players for like 4 matches- then ASADA say no, 4 matches no good- you're out for 2 years, and here's a 5 million dollar fine to go on top. 5 million dollar fine, ban of players for 2 years, exclusion of 1&2 round draft picks for 5 years.... Bye bye Essendrugs

I'd expect an exclusion from the first round of the 2015 draft also.. Can't have them benefiting from the consequences of their weakened list. i can't see them surviving in their current form for more than a couple of seasons.. They will probably need a re-branding of sorts or face an eternity of being known as cheaters lol

.. And some junior Daniher

If The Drugs are banned completely from the whole competition, where does that leave the players that didn't take part in the drug taking- the Zahas, Gwilt, Goddards and Giles etc? Could they be free to join other clubs through a special draft, why should they be penalised? Would love me some Zaha!

So do the Drugs get penalised by ASADA and then the AFL for drug cheating, or will it only be one? They (AFL) punished them for bad governance- once drug use has been proved do they punish them for that too, along withASADA, providing double fireworks for us?

Holly [censored] those highlights looked good! Notice how he only ever went for goal when it was the best option? He is exactly what we need! I'd be happy if we are seriously thinking about this kid!

To the people saying McCartin is no good have you seen him play live on more than 1 occasion?

Need it to be Watts. He needs to learn to keep his feet and make more convincing defensive efforts, also not being outbodied by the likes of Bennel in marking contests would help. It's a shame, with his skill set, if he could somehow develop a bit of mongrel he would be elite!

So much mirth it inspired a new word! Gotta draw confidence from that!

That is just downright disgraceful and negligent in your duties and a cop out if you ask me. We were paying a guy and his only job was to be thorough in his search for talent! Can we sue him or what?

When he gets a bit stronger and can slot them on the run from 50, along with his endurance and pace, Stretch will become a real weapon. I'd expect to see him as much as we saw Salem in his first year - they both seem to have that willingness to do the team thing. For a third round pick up, Billy could be the steal of the draft! We've done alright out of father/son!

We didn't even know his foot was rooted when we tried to ship him off to Tigers, so is it that much of a stretch that we failed to realise he was playing on it injured? Incompetence- that's all it is, it was rife through the club and it probably extended to the medical department. Im very suspicious of our management of Trengoves ans MC's injuries. I think both were played when they shouldn't have been. We had/have a sub standard injury diagnosis and management team- move them on!

What an incredibly write up! Could he be the one we wish we had have taken in a couple of years time? I'm sold on him- the way he cut through some of those packs was Judd like. He looks like what we wished Watts would be- an evasive silky player who can take a grab. I want to take him and see what the new development structures we have in place can turn him into!

His movement looks incredible, what did he score on agility tests? Looks good weaving through traffic and has good steps to avoid tackles, is tall, can take a mark, just looks classy. I'd be over the moon if we took him along with Brayshaw

Maybe he had too much muscle and his crash and bash style wasn't effective in the way the game is now- full of running . The hip problems couldn't have helped- he slipped over a sprinkler cap how does that happen?

Just as I think Brayshaw looks one and that scares me!

what are your thoughts on Tapscott? Killed it in juniors, great highlights and should be playing like Stringer from Bulldogs! How did we fail to develop his tank?
