Ted Lasso

We are happy to keep him if we don't get value and he is contracted. Give us Impey or we'll throw in something and have Hartlett

Three way trade jack watts to port Hamish Hartlett to the suns Aaron hall to Melbourne

jack watts and pick 27 for pick 12 or whatever they have?

I've heard a rumour that chris masten from the eagles is on the trade table for the right offer... must admit I don't know a heap about him

Early second round is fine haha I was questioning the idea he was only worth an early third rounder. No player of his age, and with what he's achieved is going for less than a second rounder unless they have an extensive injury history

Rubbish. Waldron is a moron.

I've worked in the fitness industry for a long period of time and been involved at AFL clubs and I can tell you the only complaint I've ever heard about Dave mission is he can be very conservative in bringing players back when they want to play sooner. Our fitness issues are 100% a result of having the second youngest list in the AFL in terms of time on an AFL List even our experienced guys haven't always done 4-5 pre seasons

My opinion is that Leon Cameron is the worst match day coach in the AFL, he consistently plays to tall and has now cost the Giants two premierships. I think any other coach in the AFL would have won back to back flags with that list.

He adds some class and quality ball use that we desperately lack. Jesse hogan is a 20% better player with watts in the team

Surely the suns would take a third round pick and run. I mean really if he retires they get nothing and don't even prove a point.

We are talking about a bloke who's had two top 5 B&F finishes in the last three years, consistently gets thirty disposals and is a regular in the best 22 of a team that "should" have played finals. If we got a third rounder. Only for him We would have been robbed. He does a lot more right than he does wrong. Just needs to tidy his disposal a little bit

Weideman has shown enough to suggest that with time and development he can become a good player. Hes alresdy dominated games at VFL level and as his body develops I'm sure that'll transition to AFL the big guys do seem to take 3-4 years to get going

I think Tyson is worth the same as hibberd or melksham easily so pick 20-25 seems very fair for him

Jones does a lot to protect Viney still, happy for him to stay on next year and reassess in 2018

Crows by 19. Should have to much fire power up forward. Tom lynch best on ground

Not the worst option for the Gold Coast suns.

Setting up for the verdict that he braced.

But he won the ball, he is within his rights to attack the ball hard and fairly which is what I believe he did. It's literally only a discussion because of the concussion which may or may not have been caused by the incident.

Pretty much. Cotchins only real alternative is to let Shiel grab the ball and then try and tackle him.

The problem is that he had delayed concussion, and had also copped a head knock from astbury earlier so there is no real way to attribute the concussion conclusively to the Cotchin knock. That in mind I don't think the force can be judged above low. And the contact is incidental because his eyes are on the ball and he's in the contest. Had no real alternative outside letting Shiel win the ball. I personally think he has a very strong case to be cleared and the case to fine or suspend him is very shakey when the concussion isn't viewed as a factor

Things in his favour. 1. His eyes were on the ball 2. He was in the contest and won the ball 3. Shiel had delayed concussion so it's difficult to attribute that to that exact incident

I'm not sure it's even careless, he won the ball, at worst it was a free kick if you ask me.

Honestly I think he's just going hard at the ball. That same action would have happened 10,000 times this year and it's only being discussed because Shiel got hurt. Cotchins eyes are on nothing but the ball. Itd be a shame if he missed because of that

I think when he's playing well he's that good. His injury really cost him this year

I wonder if Motlop could be better if he were played more as a deep forward to help out Jeffry? Would add some real speed and class up there
