Norm Smith's Curse

Plough is ok although he can be a bit negative about most lists.

People bag him for his recent form rather than the totality of his career particularly before asada wada

There's a Jake Melksham highlight reel on the melbourne website. Melksham was actually a tidy player in 2013. Im not fussed if we get kennedy or Bugg but i thinknMelk might work out ok.

Not expectation, just potential

Haha

Ask Bewick about Petracca - that will improve your confidence that 2016 will be better.

Facebook scenario: Watts to hawks for pick 15 (on the back of an sen caller) - pick 6 and 15 to Sydney for Parker

Only two months ago Wallet said our list was ahead of the saints on tac future stars. Now he says this.

I get Melksham, I could be convinced that perhaps Bugg might fit in but I dont get Kennedy

Petracca's old coach believes he will be an a grader.

Prestia will be at Gold Coast next year. End of

I prefered GNF's puzzles and riddles : two birds will fly before us, one from a northern lake the other featherbin black, roosting to the west.

My idea for a trade with pies on Howe - they trade us the pick they were intending to use for Aish and then we trade it to Brisbane and we get Aish for Howe.

Nothing at all unfortunately other than Levi weighing up his options at Carlton.

His average got hammered when he claimed Jake Lever was a lock at pick 3 and that we offered pick 2 and 3 for Dangerfield...

Before u bag him check out his 2013 season highlights.

You over rate Geelong and Collingwood's recent trade history. Dangerfield fell in their laps.

great post.

The last ten pages on this thread feature some of the worst demonland posts i have ever read. The trade period isn't a race - the club that gets the most trades earliest doesn't win. Because rushing out and committing early may just ruin your chances of capitalising on opportunities that appear later on. To the guy posting the endless praises of Geelong for having an a+ grader fall in their lap and for trading in two b- graders in I would say this: the past does not automatically result in future chances being successful. Geelong traded in Mitch Clark and Sam Blease last year and jury out on one, fail on the other. When you have so many quality players leaving do you draft in replacements and hope you get it right or top up on b-graders and assume your unproven youngsters will automatically be as good as your departures? Sounds a lot like MFC post 2006 to me. Plenty can go wrong. To the I want an a grader criers I'd say Judd went to Carlton and they were still a poor side. Dayne Beams is at Brisbane and fighting off the spoon. We need to back in and develop our core of youngsters rather than rely on a saviour. As for Toumpas. I like him and his heart but I have watched him carefully and I'd be staggered if he makes it at AFL level. Staggered.

Surely if Lennon is a chance to walk to the psd tigers would prefer a trade?

love his effort and heart but in that case im confident im also in unity.

Trade out one if the few players on our list with speed?

Yepp also heard that Ollie is Port 110%

I guess at the end of the day most talent is drafted or rookied rather than bought unless you're challenging for a premiership.

Still hasn't agreed to new terms with Richmond. I wonder....
