What

Then why do you want him to go to Carlton?

Looks like Carlton are going to haul in 4 or 5 GWS boys with just two picks I have no idea if any of them are any good or not

Amazing how the Druggos get gifted charity after dragging the league through the mud for 3 years. Thats way too much for Jake Carlisle, jesus christ.

Playrers with a big tank will be very valuable now the sub rule is gone. Hes shown he can get the footy and cover a lot of ground at AFL level.. he averages a lot of marks and works hard. Would be a very good link man between the arcs. Hes not a forward though, doesnt kick goals.

Never. He is useless up forward. Doesnt have the footy smarts, second efforts or the body strength.

Maybe trade 29 and 46 for Tomlinson and Bugg, and take Curnow or Weidemann at pick 6

Ben Kennedy has a career average of 54.7% time on ground. To put that in perspective that would put him last at the MFC for time on ground in 2015 alone... our lowest was Neal Bullen with 58% of time spent on ground. Collingwood never gave Kennedy a chance to improve or develop. Their loss will be our gain.

The hold up might be that we can get him for free as a delisted free agent. Can then use our picks for other trades we might have cooking.

Talent wise it may be break even, but as far as getting what we need to help list balance its a win. We need outside run and carry, and Melksham and Kennedy will give that. Oh and we got two competitors, and moved two non competitors out.

With Petraccattack and The Melky Way in the side we will be much more attacking and dangerous in 2016. And lets not forget JFK (Ben Kennedy) who will give us some dash and long kicking. The Bugg Whisperer (Tomas Bugg) will complement them well.

Irrelevant. Howe finished so highly because he undeservedly played every game and the Bluey rewards people that play a lot of games Played maybe 2 or 3 good games all season

Lets see how many appearances he makes on the Footy show for 10k a pop. Will be on there for no other reason than he plays for Collingwood.

Why do you say that Lam

Speaking of Grimes, there was talk last week the Tigers were interested. And tonight Josh Mahoney said that the Howe/Toump megadeal has left us with the picks we need to do some more trades. Perhaps Grimes will be on the move in the next few days.

His highlight video on the MFC website is great.. hes not afraid to put his head over the ball and go in hard. Fits the theme of bringing competitors to the club. People can [censored] and moan all they like, but so far this trade period we have gotten rid if two non competitors that cant play, for two guys that go hard at it and have the tools to be very nice players with the right tutelage. And it cant be stated enough how the sub rule being abolished will help the likes of Kennedy and every kid like him.

Theres a shocker. Leon Cameron was on the radio tonight denying Clarks report (or is that fantasy?) that GWS would give up pick 8 for Essendons 23 and 25.

Dont stop now Beelzebub, I want to see a page full of these within the hour

We needed speed and outside run. Our lack of those things killed us last season and cost us a few wins. Kennedy and Melksham will give us a bit of both. Howe and Toumpas gave us neither.

Delisted free agent?

We should have ended up with 29 and 32

Same goes with Toumpas

Clearly someone is a biased Port clown.

I dont think we got shafted at all, Howe and Toump are hopeless players. The frustration is because of the Howe to Gold Coast deal that was all lined up but is now just a pipe dream.

no way Middy, he was way more talent than both of them put together. If Brendan McCartney can harness his potential it will be a great pick up for us. The abolishing of the sub rule will be a blessing for Kennedy and kids like him
