okay... who is our 27-28 year old player who is paid very well that we could move on in such a trade. Essendon have Hurley for example and I am sure we can go through each of the power clubs and list similar players. Even our magnificent crop of youngsters...Oliver Brayshaw and Petracca are being questioned. Last years draft does not look like world beaters. May and Lever are well they're May and Lever and one could go on. 2020 is a BIG year.

made this point on the trading thread. Over there they seem to think splitting the pick is the smart thing. I think its the dumb conservative move.

and so they take a mature player that a big power club or a GWS can afford to move on and the power club gets salary cap relief and a chance to refresh at the pointy end of the draft. Is it any wonder the power clubs dominate. Ripples and flow ons

didn't work too well with Tyson and Salem v Josh Kelly. It's the conservative approach for a desperate team which as usual we are. Frankly we have known for a long time that we will be picking in the top ten so there is no excuse for not having a very detailed plan going forward. The fact that we have pick 2 or 3 should make it easier

Wants to leave GCS could he fit in and what is the price? https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-trades-2019-gold-coasts-jack-martin-set-to-ask-for-a-trade-this-week-with-six-victorian-clubs-interested/news-story/0624c46a1dfcfd5ae19177dd54687d94 several clubs reported as interested in him

Oliver needs to kick more. Wasted season development wise for him. If we had some depth I would have played him on the hff post bye just to develop his kicking game.

well that was a bit of a let down

The Night King has delivered better on asecondwatching

I'm heading off to watch the battle against the Night King on G of T for the second time. Never know they may turn the lights on. Shall I return to hear the sweet song of victory?

yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Must confess that I was open to having Scully back on the basis of minimum pay and a one year deal which is what I understand Hawks paid. Okay he didn't star but he was a very useful player. We took KK instead as our project player and well..............

That's the unknown... they were on a third day wicket yesterday and it didn't look like deteriorating for at least the first two sessions today. By that time it could be game over for us. Definitely need one if not two wickets in the first hour

Big "if"

Jake Lever well what can you say... I suppose he came back from his ACL but his AFL form was ordinary. Probably should have had one or two more runs at VFL level on his comeback. Expecting a lot more in 2020 if he is to justify his salary and trade price. Jury well and truly out.

played 6 games for the year at 27 years of age. Big question mark with him for 2020

nah... we don't review and /or look back

Being an MFC supporter does strange things to us all. Presently watching a storm brew up over the Straits of Malacca

bit worried about the cricket BBO. Not sure my fragile psyche could handle a close one. Hopefully 2or 3 wickets in the first hour and then some quiet enjoyment of the urn returning home.

must say I'll never quite think of Oktober Fest ever the same again

Just slowly going through the Crows game day forum on BigFooty Lots of sack the coach etc but I did like this one... This year was an aberration sure. But next year, just you wait. Just like 2018 was an aberration.

but he is redeemed and on the path of goodness now surely

perhaps but think of the increased egg and bacon roll sales at Casey as we all head out there to watch the return of the messiah.

haven't done the maths but quickly looking at the percentages Richmond would need to win by 70 plus to make any change to the order of the top 4.

my perverse logic is founded in the context of redemption. He may just want to show us he can do it. Don't think it would work with any other club. At the very least we get a depth player and hell our depth isn't great

Jack ... Watts I mean. Could probably get him for peanuts and who knows what he might do for us.
