Bring Back Barassi

Max Gawn career goal kicking stats: 62 goals 50 behinds. Not too bad.

He did look good......

Sydney Stack bump. Nuf said

Need pace. Hill is pace. Get Hill

Make Tipingwuti an offer he cant refuse, trade Brayshaw for Hill. There some speed.

In: Tanking Out: Trying

Misson

The turnovers were consistently disgraceful. He hurts us. Put him in the coaches box, or send to Casey.

The guy is hopeless. Can’t mark, can’t crash a pack, send to Casey and trade at year end.

Out Weidemann forever

I have heard May referred to by some tv hacks as the 2nd best defender in the league, not that that means anything, but I suggest he is better than a good average backman

No matter what anyone says, its always maybe. This thing is a beat-up

The whole thing has a strong whiff of beat-up to it. Dees not driving it, Hoges "open to it" but not driving it, that leaves Freo, who have openly declared their interest for years. I'm starting to think this story is a dud

And three quarters of the injuries

Yes, it panned out that way, but we could have extracted more at the time if we played hardball

If that happens, I would be very pleased

I wouldnt be so sure that we will get two first round picks or equivalent. Mahoney and Goodwin have proven themselves to be soft touches when it come to the trade table. They paid overs for Lever and got unders for Watts. Same will most likely happen again

In Preuss, Hogan, Lever, Fritsch Out Smith, Tyson, Weed, Lewis

Bring on The Doctor. We were lucky Maxy played out the season this year

We all know our run home is tough, but really we are presented with a huge opportunity imagine for for a moment us winning all 4... how would we be looking to play a grand final THIS YEAR

Wagner out forever

Either way, we could have played it smarter, stood firm to the end of trade week at least, instead of just collapsing.Hey, dont get me wrong, doing the deal was imperative, just the way it was played was weak and we could have gotten him for less im sure

Luke Ball said he would not play for any club other than Collingwood, and if anyone picked him he would sit out the season. From memory i think he got picked at 30, Saints got nothing

Mahoneys negotiating skills are particularly poor. He was in a commanding position in this trade, Lever could have gone to the draft Luke Ball style and Crows would have gotten nothing. If he stood firm on 10 + 27 they would have had no choice but to capitulate. Likewise, telegraphing to the world that we didnt want Watts devalued his currency significantly. Obviously the guys know what they are doing when it comes to talent and footy, they just need a decent business advisor to help them in doing deals.

What about this scenario: We pull our offer and only offer pick 10 based on BF performance. Crows chuck the sads. JL announces he is going into the draft a la Luke Ball and will only play for the Dees, otherwise will sit out the season. No other side will take the risk and he comes to us at 10 either way.
