Totally different player and nothing like Silvia, Trac is a very good AFL player now. He doesn't need the big breakout year. Your bias is blinding you 'Matsuo'.

As a defensive forward, not a mid. He's not proven at any senior level as a mid so shouldn't be brought into the conversation yet...

You would have to take Sparrow and VB out of that list. Sparrow hasn't even bedded himself down as a VFL level mid yet and VB can't get on the park...

Sounds like it's the Saints or Dogs to me...

Someone has mentioned it 'Wise'...

Played a pretty decent defensive role last game...maybe you weren't watching.

Don't worry 'Moon', you're not on your own. A lot have expressed the same and I'm sure it would be of little consideration for the club...

I think Richardson's job will be working across the football program and contributing where he can with a really talented group of young and emerging players.

Roughead was a great player, now he moves into another field where he starts as an absolute novice with no guarantees he will be any good at it. What we don't need at the moment are any more apprentices, we need experienced heads. ...and that's what we've been doing. Getting some good experience, getting people with good track records on board. If we get Yze then that's another good experienced head added to the mix. He or his like will be far more valuable to us than Roughead at this time.

Lever was also known to be on his way out and Adelaide handled things like spoilt brats. Is it a wonder that the club didn't give him votes?

Lets just wait on this... Lyon has probably seen the rumour here...hi Gary, and is going through his channels to see if there is any truth to it. I hope there is. At least Gary has the right connections to find out if it's on the money. We should know in the next few days.

If we're going to go small 'Rusty' then we had better bring in a couple of quality small forwards. Money needs to be on the line for Bolton and one other...

There was a player at Geelong a while back called Mumford, they really liked him and had him pegged as having a good future with them. Sydney thought he would be good for them, made him an offer Geelong couldn't match and who would have guessed, he ended up at Sydney. I hope we are into Bolton & anyone else that could help us improve. No point adding more nqr's...

I would add May to that list, just needs to spend more time on the park. He added real stability to the back half when he was there.

Not sure where to put this so here is as good as any place. Heard King yesterday put big wraps on Sparrow as a mid... I don't think he would have seen much if any of him so the wraps must be coming from someone he rates to make that call. Hard at it and explosive pace away are King's comments. Personally I've been concerned that he didn't get a lot of ball at Casey when playing as a mid. Have though he might make it as Jetta's replacement. I guess we wait and see. I hope King is right on this occasion.

I would lock in Fritsch now as our 3rd tall...Trac rotating more in the mids but also spending quality time forward. The 1st 2 and at least one good small are a problem. Tmac is a number 2 man...as for the number one man there really is no one available for trade unless Cameron falls out so that leaves Weid and he really must step up next season. Need to trade in a small, Tiges have the most so at least one should be gettable....

Yep, not a fan either but to this day no one has proven that it was his decision to take Toumpas over Wines. We can blame him for many things but this one maybe not despite the conventional wisdom on this site. It may well have been Viney that made the call for all we know, Jack seemed to be a Toumpas fan.

No rising star nom??? He was ok, played a role, obviously a coach favourite...not brilliant.

Gilding the Lily a bit there '11'...

No going to happen 'norm'... We need to trade in.

They really don't anymore...they did, but not now.

I don't care where he's from, so long as he can coach. I haven't noticed a lot of Hawthorn people in their FD and it hasn't hurt them. The idea of needing a Melbourne person is a croc...

...but he is just repeating what many of us on here have been saying. At least it seem he can read..

No one at the club has said he is a mentor and I doubt very much that this is his role. He is a senior assistant though and we need that particularly with Macca leaving. The coaching division is a bit young with the exception of Rawlings. I would expect a few more to shake out yet...
